SHIPMENT OF ORANGES UP THIS WEEK
Quadrupling of shipments this week as compared with last, the market still firm to higher, and all or practically all of re-local houses to ship this week—this is the citrus fruit situation here today.
Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n and Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n will each ship a dozen cars according to plans now.
Anaheim Co-op. Orange Ass'n will move several cars from its west house only, and plans to open its east house next Monday.
Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n expects to start putting its fruit on the tracks this week, according to William Webster, manager. The separator will be hooked up shortly.
Stewart Fruit Co. has installed new brushes and will be in condition to ship at almost any time now. It announces incidentally that its crop of deciduous fruits will be the largest in its history.
Some uncertainty as to whether to ship or how much to ship still exists in the minds of several managers, because of the rising market, and because of the rather heavy movement of navels still going forward.
W. H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n will ship this week from both houses, but is determining his activity by the situa ion from day to day.
J. H. Ritchie, manager of the Anaheim Co-operative is restricting shipments for the reasons mentioned.

Dr. Franklin E.

Recession of the deed given to the attorney is demanded.
When Dr. Kerr was placed in the Los Angeles jain, Atty. Meadows, whose legal activities are said in Los Angeles to have been questionable; appeared at the jail it is declared, and told Dr. Kerr he could defend him in the federal district court.
