The deck is covered with a long house, supported by stanchions and there was a considerable deck load Iof barreled herring. The seas roll ed over the whole ship, breaking out the windows of the deck house,
 while inside many of the barrels broke lose from their lashings and rolled back and forth like mad bulls
 in a china shop, breaking out the istanchions and threatening to cave
 in the whole structure. It was not
 until the barrels began to break up scattering herring all over the place that more serious damage was Inverted. The storm was fortunate fly of short duration, at least for the hardest part of the blow, giving the crew a chance to make things fast although the deck looked like a herring fertilizer plant in full oper- ation.

l.. A. To Build
Standby Plant
BY United Press L~aasC CCs

Los ANGELES, Jan. 9. - The
rioht of the city to spend money ap-
priated from its power and light
revenues during the present year
for the construction of steam
standby plant at the harbor was
upheld by Superior Judge Clair s.
Tappaan today.
However. the court ruled that ap-
proximately $l,40O,00O which the
power and light department had ap-
propriated to its $5,00G,0G0 con-
srtuction program should be proper
ly regarded as bond money rather
than revenue money.
The 81, 100000 could not be spent
legally for the building of the plant,
Judge Tappaan decided.
Power bureau officials said that
the ruling on this item would not
seriously effect the bureau s con
struction program. The amount
budgeted this year for construction
of the steam plant is approximately
$3,230,00O.

The wear 1927 has been n reason

Of trading has been somewhat larg-

The 1927 agricultural record, or
the whole, was profitable and farm
purchasing power is probably great

latge and quality good. The prin
cipal difficulties were marketing
due to over-production, particular,
in certain deciduous fruits and veg
ctables. The Imperial and San Joa
qnin Valleys made less favorable
records than the coast and central
districts.
The outstanding crop was citrus

prices were low, results were better
than last year, following a more or
dery distribution.
December Quiet
The cotton crop is less, but prices
arc 50 per cent higher than in 1926.
Eeans have continued in weak po-

large and the markets were consid-

ctable interests experienced some
crious marketing losses. The live
stock industry consistently main
tanned its strongest position for sew

December has been quiet month
except in retail trade. Holiday buy

lieved to have equaled and proba
l,lv exceeded last December, which
in turn was. an exceptionally good
month. The Christmas trade in the
country districts was reported to
be only moderately good.
December check transactions in
Los Angeles showed some actual in
crease over November, but the gain
was not as great as usual for this
season. Weather developments
we're favorable for the crop outlook,

On the whole, the business situa-

damental factors are sound and
there appears no reason to antici-
pate a protracted decline. On the
contrary, it seems likely that activ-
ity during the fore part of 1928 will
at least equal, IL not improve, the
showing of the latter half of 1927.
