Last week's sales on the New York market from $6.55 to $7.49 a box. It is estimated that there are stored in the packing houses of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, south and east of the Santa Ana river, at least 125 cars; and it is estimated that around 450 cars will be shipped between this date and November. These figures cover only the south half of the county, with the production of the north half probably equivalent to that of the south half. Three influences are responsible for the splendid market conditions of the present, it is said. Warm weather has broken in the east at least thirty days earlier than last year, increasing the consumption. There is less foreign fruit available at this period than there was at this date a year ago, and there is less California fruit in storage at eastern points than there was a year ago. Last year buying in April and May was stimulated by speculators securing big consignments and placing the fruit in storage in expectation of reaping handsome profits when the summer demand opened. A cool summer interfered with plans of the speculators and the y sustained heavy losses. They threw their holdings on the market at a time when summer shipments were going forward from producing sections, glutting the small markets and forcing prices down. at this period, where a year ago there were 265,000 boxes. While the emergency tariff measure was signed by the president only a few days ago, expectation of the adoption of the measure deterred foreign shippers from sending their fruit into markets of this country. The market situation at this time is one that is very encouraging to lemon growers and has brought a silver lining to clouds that have been black for some time past, with destruction of the industry threatened. BIG WATER SHIPMENTS Forty per cent of the American distribution of perishable foods products of the Pacific coast will be shipped by water in the future, if plans of the all-western committee on water transportation meeting in the Chamber of Commerce at Seeattle, are followed out. The all-western committee is composed of representatives of growers from California, Washington and Oregon. Their annual shipments total more than 100,000 cars, it was stated. Water shipping will be developed through two central shipping bureaus. It is planned to establish the northern station for deciduous growers of Oregon and Washington at Seattle and the southern bureau for the distribution of citrus fruits at Los Angeles harbor. These bureaus are expected to be self-financed. The all-western committee will immediately confer with civic and commercial bodies of western cities, western congressmen and Secretaries Hoover and Weeks to procure aid in obtaining adequate refrigeration facilities at Pacific coast ports and in the United States shipping board vessels. Speakers who have investigated the situation declare that more than 21- Cement Account— On hand May 1st ... 1738 sacks Used making pipe ... 71 sacks Used in repairs ... 149 sacks Sold consumers ... 146 sacks 366 sacks On hand May 31st ... 1372 sacks THE OAK—NATIONAL TREE The Detroit, Mich., Federation of Women's clubs has started a movement to have the oak tree declared the nation's official tree. Its chief arguments for this are that oaks are found over nearly the whole of the northern hemisphere, and that many of the nation's big historical events are associated with the oaks. The recommendation says: Connecticut's charter was once in the heart of a hollow oak. Hartford's charter oak became the symbol of liberty. The Declaration of Independence was read under the oak at Charleston, S. C. The Washington oak in the white house grounds, set out April 6, 1904, by President Roosevelt, bears the inscription: "The acorn planted here was taken from an oak which shades the tomb of the celebrated and never-to-be-forgotten Washington." The oak is an emblem of what a true nobleman should be, a refuge for the weak, a shelter for the oppressed, a defense for the defenseless, warding off the pelting of the storm or the scorching rays of arbitrary power. He who plants an oak looks forward to future ages and plants for posterity. Nothing can be less selfish than this. He can not expect to sit in its share, nor enjoy its shelter, but he exults in the idea that the acorn which he has buried in the earth shall grow up into a lofty pile, and shall keep flourishing and increasing and benefiting mankind long after he shall have ceased to tread his paternal fields. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Supervisor T. B. Talbert, chairman, being unable to use his right hand on account of same being injured, Supervisor Wassum was elected to act as chairman pro-tem. Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. James Sleeper, county assessor, was granted a leave of absence from the last year buying in April and May was stimulated by speculators securing big consignments and placing the fruit in storage in expectation of reaping handsome profits when the summer demand opened. A cool summer interfered with plans of the speculators and the y sustained heavy losses. They threw their holdings on the market at a time when summer shipments were going forward from producing sections, glutting the small markets and forcing prices down. There was little or no hot weather in the east after June last summer and this fact was reflected in the light demand for lemons. With last year's experience before them and the money situation tight, speculators have not bought and stored fruit this season, leaving the market to the producers and distributors. Expected imposition of a tariff on imported lemons has had its effect on importations. The result is reports indicating that there are only about 50,000 boxes of foreign fruit available to the market. P. F.
