YEAR'S BUSINESS DONE IN 6 MONTHS As an index of Anaheim's building activity, Secretary-Manager S. P. Selersen of the Anaheim Building & Loan Ass'n declared today that his association had done as much business during the first six months of this year as it expected to do during the entire 12 months. Loans of more than $100,000 have been made to date. The firm opened for business on Jan. 1, but its first loan was not made until Feb. 1, so that the full six months have not yet elapsed. Selersen called attention to the fact that materials men, builders, mochanies etc., can assist their own businesses by patronizing the building association. Merchants, also, benefit from the construction of more homes. Fred A. Backs, secretary of the Savings, Loan & Building Ass'n said that from two to si xapplications for loans on the average were made to him daily. The tendency of high rents, Backs declared, is to induce both would-be home owners and investors to build, the one to save on rent, the other to realize the excellent return possible.

DELAY SHIPMENT TO STRENGTHEN PRICE Warning against "a very low market situation" if the auction markets continue to be crowded with valencias, the California Fruit Growers Exchange in a statement received by members here today, declares that shipments must be strung out between now and Sept. 1. The exchange in behalf of its members and growers is decidedly worried, following a drop of approximately 55 cents per box in the last 10 days. Contrary to expectation, the market did not strengthen this week. There will be approximately 10,235 boxes of valencias still to go as of Monday, July 23, from all shippers, exchange and independent, according to Manager William Webster of the Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n. In Webster's opinion, prices rapidly will pick up if packing associations will supply only as much fruit as demand warrants. To do so the associations must have the co-operation of the growers. The exchange in its statement says: "There seems to be a tendency to ship valencias a little faster than is warranted by market conditions. Our total supplies on route have been increasing, and prices decreasing." "After conference with practically all of your district managers they all expressed their opinion that our shipments must be strung out between now and September 1st." The supply of fruit on hand must be decreased, so that the exchange is not compelled to dispose of it at once at auction, continues the statement. The exchange seeks to obtain in this way a fair market in August, when the weather is very warm in the east. UNSCRUPULOUS M.
