Reactionary tendencies continued
prevalent in the Cotton Market
today, with the list declining to

fore important support was en-
countered.
Uncertainty over the future Of
the Governments cotton control

tor behind the further decline

900 bales would be in line with
present conditions in the indus

the trade, and treaders who
bought on yesterdays late rally
lost no time in liquidating their
holdings.
Generally favorable weather
over the belt influenced the mar
ket but little. The current map
revealed generally fair condi-
tions over the belt, expect for
light rains in Alabama and por-
tions of Mississippi. Light rains
were also reported along the Gulf
and in Florida.
Late in the forenoon, losses
ranged from 7 to 10 points, with
December off 9 at 1905, January

REDUCTION IN
LIGHTING RATE

Albert G. Cage, assistant general
manager of the Southern SierraS
Power company, announces that the
California railroad commission has
given its approval to certain reduc-
tions in lighting rates offered by
the company. The discount FEATURE
of the general lighting schedule LII
has been eliminated, giving all con-
sumers the benefit of the net rate,
which will efgNt a considerable
saving in many cases.
The rates of the lower blocks of
the schedule have been materially
reduced, so that reductions rang
ing from per cent for 200 kilo-
watt-hours, to 1876 per cent for
1000 kilow4tt-h are obtained
These reductions, together with the
elimination of gross rates, will re-
suit in an annual saving of approx
imately $4,000 to customers.
In addition to the above flat re-
auctions, the railroad commission
has given its approval to a ''pro-
motional rate' plan offered by the
company. Under this plan every
lighting consumer in the territory
affected may use from 10 per cent
to as much more electricity de
pending upon the amount of his
bilD than during the corresponding
month of 1888, with no additional

ASK SPECIALITY
CROPS BRANCH
IN CALIFORNIA

Of particular interest to Imperial
county growers and producers is the
fact that the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, Washington,
has been asked to establish in Cali
fornia a branch of the speciality
crops section in order to expedite
formation of marketing agreements
} for many California crops and have
the agreements operative for the
| 1884 marketing season. This infor-
nation was received by c. o. Hoo
|. ber, president of the Imperial Coun-
ity Farm Bureau recently. The re-
quest to Washington was made by
! President r. w. Blackburn and Alex
Johnson of the California Farm Bu-
reau Federation. Blackburn is now
in Washington on this and other
problems pertinent to California ag-
riculture.
There are several marketing
agreements affecting Imperial
county growers now in process of
formation. The vegetable and melon
industry has held hearings with the
administration relative to an agree
ment for these commodities. A fresh
asparagus growers marketing agree
ment is practically completed. AL
falfa growers have negotiated for
hsuch an agreement. There are many
other crops grown in Imperial coun-
ty, according to Hoober, which can
we'll be considered by California
office of the speciality crops division.
The saving in time will be tremen-
dous as it is very difficult to work
with the many commodities invol-
we'd with Washington at such dis
! tance.
This is another illustration of the
value of the California Farm Bureau
Federation in representing Califor-
I mia growers and producers" Hoober
stated With speciality crops sec
ton located in California, the prob
lem of marketing agreements for
many of CALIFORNIA; 1872 specially
crops will be greatly reduced.
