Thess Dried Fruit
Markets ofCa|fOr0iia

The war or lack of transportation
seems to have had some effect on
the dried fruit markets of California
Because number of our readers are
interested in these problems We give
below some information taken from
the California Fruit News Of May and
June:
There Is little of definite or ma
terial change in the situation this
week in dried fruit lines on the coast
from one week ago. Growing crops
continue to promise ample and album
dant yields in most lines, and wealth.
er conditions are better. In fact,
rather warm weather was experienced
during the latter part OF the week.
The export situation is in worse
shape, II possible than at any time
since the war began and, IL one dis
regards possibilities OF change for
the better, outlook whatever. This
situation has been getting worse re-
Gently, in place Of better.
So far as pot lines are concerned,
the principal change is in peaches,
which are easier and prunes, which
are firmer. Peaches continue to de-
cline. There Is movement on foot
in the San Joaquin valley to do some
thing to get growers with unsold
peaches together for the purpose Of
strengthening the situation in spots
in this line. In the absence of bust
ness, however, the market is very
easy under ample spot supplies and
large prospective output. Future
peaches are also slightly easier"
Conditions are still unsettled and
an easy market ruling In practically
all dried fruit lines. Spot prunes are
the one exception. Apricots of last
years crop are getting scarce and
are rather variable as to price and
new crop will be spot soon. Figs are
unchanged and steady; peaches are
satisfactory condition of this latter
market continues and there Is no ap.
parent prospect Of improvement Ev-
en- the low values quoting are shaded
at times. The peach committee of
the growers in San Joaquin valley,
where 1t Is understood there are
about 1000 tons of old crop In the
growers hands unsold, Is endeavoring
to make an arrangement to dispose
OF these. While no offers have been
received, somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF cents is wanted by the
growers but as futures can be bought
at about the same price the situation
with old crop ia discouraging unless
there should be some material i'm.
provement in the inquiry"
AT a meeting of the general peach
committee recently organized at
Fresno, a committee Of FIVE was APP
pointed to find a market for 1914
dried peaches carried over. The
general sentiment of the meeting
was that the peach market situation
demanded immediate and concerted
action on the part of the growers.
Among the speakers at this meet
ing which was held on June !, were
George McRae, field agent for the
California Cured Fruit Exchange;

boring oar In Prosecution
Of Man.

PRINCETON, Ill, Jan 26.-When
court adjourned at o'clock in the
Raw Pfanschmidt murder trial the
state had accepted four jurors.
Twelve were examined by the pros
ecution. six OF whom were excused for
cause, two pre-emptorily and the 9TH
er four accepted
The progress thus far indicates that
Jury should be completed not later
than Thursday and probably sooner.
The defense had examined but one Of
the four taken by the state when the
day ended and had not passed upon
his qualifications.
The jurors are being kept together
by order OF Judge Davis. The examin-
ing for the state was done by States
Attorney Fred Wolfe. assisted by At
torneys O'Hara and Eckert Attorneys
Covert. Lancaster and Spalding ques-
toned the talesmen for the defense.
Court convened at 1:30 o'clock with
the little court room filled to its ut
most capacity. The space behind the
railing is much smaller than at Ma
comb and the entire room will not
seat more than half the number that
can be accommodated, In the Adams
county circuit court room.
The Bureau county court house Is
older than that at Macomb Or Quincy
and much trouble is being experienced
in handling such a big and important
trial as the Pfanschmidt case.
The regular panel of fifty jurors re-
porteG to Judge Davis when court
convened and all were excused for
Sickness business or other causes.
The first special venire OF 100 also

We're excused for good reasons.
Accepts Farmers.

The prosecution, 1t appears, Is not
adverse to accepting farmers. as three
OF the four are residents Of the rural
districts. Coal miners, of which there
are many In Princeton, have also
been subpoenaed, but coal miner, It
is said, is not anxious to serve in
such case, he being contented liv-
Ing at home with his family rather
than submit to the confinement re-
quired by attorneys in the Plan
schmidt case.
Attorney Eckert, who resides in
Bureau county, Is proving a valuable
addition to the prosecution, as he has
served as states attorney In the coun-
ty and is acquainted with practically
every man who is called upon to do
jury service. Mr.. Eckert is volunteer
ing the information to States Attor-
ney Wolfe and Attorney O'Hara OF
Carthage which determines whether a
juror shall be accepted Or excused.
AS in the past, the stumbling block
is refusal of Jurors to infiict the death
penalty upon circumstantial evidence
The greater number are not preju-
diced against circumstantial evidence
Or the death penalty. but refuse to
impose such penalty on this form Of
evidence.
{ The use Of two pre-emptory challen-
ges by the state in half Of a day
shows that Bureau county people have
not made up their minds on the guilt
Or innocence of the defendant. The
prisoner was seated as usual with his
attorneys and neatly attired as before.
He attracted much attention from the
spectators, who were anxious to get
a glimpse Of the young man charged
with one of the most f.sndish crimes
in the history Of the state.
