SAN BENIT0. Dec. 13.-Shippers

p~erishable vegetables they decided
at a meeting here Tuesday night.

Ncslaco. and Mr.. Hall Of the Grow
ers Exchange at Mercedes was nam
cd 10 draft a brief opposing the
adoption Of the California rule. this
brief TO be presented to the In. p
state Commerce Commission repre-
sentative at the hearing in Harlin-
gen Saturday morning of this week.
a similar meeting of growers will
be held AZ Mercedes Friday night,
ject. and another brief is possible
from that source
The California rule for icing Of
ears provides a lower charge where
only top icing is used, and is is not
necessary TO put ice in the bunkers.
But this rule would be OF little
value to the Valley section. because
the cool climate Of California which
permits shipping with only top icing
does not prevail here and bunker
icing must be used, entaiiing even
a higher cost than the present
charge for icing.
The shippers at the meeting
which was held in the office of the
San Benito Chamber of Conn cree.
also discussed the fight for lower
freight rates from the Valley to 9TH
or points IN Texas. and means OF fl
nancing the committee OF rate men.

BOND MARKET HAS
 HEAVY TENDENCY
Dealers Fear Changes in Credit
 Situation

New York, April 20 P,-Prices turned heavy in a fairly active bond market today lenecting continued fear of changes in the credit situa-. ton augmented by the increase yes terday in rediscount rates of Boston and Chicago federal reserve banks.
 The recently strong semi-specula- tive issues were hardest hit, Ana conda Copper Is sliding down 2 points and Andes Copper 7s about ?. The new St. Paul issues also were subject to protit-talling and the New York traction issues likewise lost considerable ground.
 ! One or two convertible issues. however, moved against the general trend, notably American Sugar Gs and Liquid Carbonic 6s. A fair de- mand for amusement mortgages was noted. fractional advances being scored by Loew's 6s with stock war rants and Paramount Famous Lasky 1 6s the latter duplicating it's years high.

New York, April % Rt-Prices on the New York Stock Exchange broke sharply at the opening of sell ing inspired by higher re-discount rates and the huge increase in brok- CTS loans and then staged a remark able recovery which wiped out most of the losses and sent score issues to new high ground. Early losses ranged from 2 to ! points, but strong buying support quickly appeared and by early afternoon more than a score issues were selling to $ points above yesterdays final quotations
 Trading was in tremendous vol ume, with blocks of 1000 to 10000 shares appearing on the tape at frc- Quent intervals throughout the day. The recovery was stimulated by the lowering of call money rates from A. to 1-2 per cent and the fact that speculative accounts were strongly margined. Weekly mercan- tile reviews reported that the normal spring expansion of business was be- ing retarded by unseasonably cold weather in some sections.
