March 5. The fruit exchanges have good cause to exult over the success of their operations thut far this season. If orders keep coming at the present rate, the crop will be cleaned up much earlier than ever before and at prices that will be more than satisfactory to the growers. As an exam pie of bow tho exchanges arc getting in their work an advertisement in a recent number of tbe Now York Journal of Com merce ls cited in which a prominent New York fruit house offers 43 cars of I allfornin ortnges for sale,, (uot at auction) and of the 43, 38 are from the exchanges, only five being furnished by outside shippers. This same advertisement classes San Antonio and Dunrte Exchange fruit as coining from Riverside. The idea still seems tn prevail at the East that Riverside embraces tho the entire citrus belt. To eradi cate this misconception It is probable that the exchanges will next year have a lithographed map of Southern California on their letter heads. A New York fruit , house informs tbe ex change* that it recently had an order from the Hotel Ponce de Leon, at St. Augustine, 11b.. for 30 boxes of fancy California oranges, and filled It by forwarding 30 boxes of Colton Ter race navels. The directors of the Semi-Tropic Exchange met Tuesday afternoon and transacted their usual weekly routine business. The executive committee of the exchanges meets Wednesday afternoon and may raise prices another point or two. LOCAL PRODUCE Wholesale and Retail Quotations, Corrected Dally l.os Angeles, March .1.

CALIFORNIA WINES The Eastward Movement Showing an Encour aging Increase The outward movement and tale of Califor nia wines and brandies at the East must, under the circumstances, be looked upon as quite encouraging. The report from New York is that the attendance as the sale on Feb. 25th was larger than at any of their previous sales, and the prices were, on the average, about the same as those which have ruled at the two previous sales. Nearly 17,000 barrels ol California wine reached New York city from Feb. 6th to 25th, and under the circumstances the prices ob tained were considered satisfactory, especially as It $01 came under the low freight ruling be fore the 4th instant. On February 26th there were six carloads of wine and pneof.brandy sold at auction in New York at the ttUowinj prices: 143 barrels 01 port wine. 3i'A to 27 cents per gallon; 117 barrels Zinfandel, 23 to 19U cents per gallon; LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING* MARCH 0, 1895. Ion: 5 barrels sauvignon, 3SJ4 to 20 cents per gallon : 4 barrels muscat. 30 to HH'i cents per aallon: 5 barrels sauterne, 24', to 24 cents per gallon; 30 barrels brandy, 53 to 47 cents per gallon :40 half-barrels braudy. 68 to 57 cents ncr gallon. The brandy was sold at I the short price—l. c., the burer paying tne tax of $1. HI per nallon. The prices are low It is true, but the tendency toward freer move ment In tho Eastern markets may bring Its own reward later on. -Pacific Rural Press. GRAIN AND STOCKS Pointers on the Markets by Private Wires Los Angeles, March 5. De Van A Rutledge, grain and stock brokers, furnish the following market bulletins for tbe benefit of local speculators: Several sharp tussles have taken place in the grain markets the last week between the bulls and bears, and the bulls have bad the best of the arguments. Throe weeks ago the bears got the price ol wheat as low as 52 cents, but it has been an Impossibility to get it down to those figures again. We believe that this is the calm before the storm and that we shall soon see a oondltlon of affairs that will sur prise even the bulls themselves. Armour has been a large buyer of wheat during the past week while Pardridge has increased his short Hue, and with anything like a positive ad vance will be forced to cover and thus help send prices up. New York reports good shipping demand, about 250,000 bushels being taken for export. Chicago market: Opened. High. Low. Closed.

Why. bless you, no. Without that alfalfa field 1 would be unable to bold down my place. Let me tell you what it has done for me, Four years ago I was clear discouraged and concluded to leave the ranch; I worked hard but there seemed to be no returns for my labor. The amount of hay my little ranch would produce would soon be eaten by the stock. My horses were poor, my cows dried up early, the hogs seemed'to have a case of chronic squeal, whl.e my bees, gener ally speaking, produced only a limited amount of honey to say the least. I was dlsheai terted. for I had settled here with the intention to make this a permanent homo for myself anil family. One day tho happy thought came to me, why not try an alfalfa field, but then I argued it must be irrigated—it will cost a good deal to get water, reservoir and pipes; still I concluded to try n. There was a nice iitiie spring in the pasture a short away above the house, and at that place I Immediately started to develop more water. In due time I had a good stream of water flowing dewn the hillside 1 then cut below this tn the summit of a slight elevation above lh > ground I w'shed to irri gate, and here, with team, plow, scraper, pick and shov-1 broke ground for the reservoir, which 1 made round with sloping sides aud about five feet deep in the center. As soon as completed tbe pipes were laid and the water carried to the field, and now you would Uko to know the results? Well, they have been very satisfactory, indeed. 1 soon enjoyed the sight of a brand new ten acre field of alfalfa, and what a grand sight it was to see that bright green spot, like an oasis on the desert, shine out through the dry sum mer months, when other vegetation was with ered and dry. The way that piece M land re sponded to Irrigation's magic, touch seemed to put new life in me. It grew very rapidly, aud the time did not seem long until it ban grown up aud was in bloom, and th?n what a merry hum arose from that field for the next few days; the bees fairly swarmed ont on it, and gathered a fine lot of beautiful alfalfa honey, which, in point of quality, is second to noiie produced by any honey plant in this country. The chickens thrived on the green feed, the hogs grew and fattened on it. my cows cama out in their milk; in fact, everything about me gave evidence of Its superiority as an all around article of food for stock. As the result oi my experiment with that field I am still living on my ranch and am now making a good living. I have more than dou bled my stock, have considerable butter and eggs to sell, turn out several hogs for market each year, besides selling some hay now and then. Of course 1 always grow some beets, pie melons, pumpkins, etc, for a variety feeding, and also a little barley or oat Hay for mv horses, as I do not think tt a good plan to feed a fHlfs to horses all tbe time without a change. Yes, sir; I am well pleased with my experi ment, and my advice to all ranchers who can ?et weier with which to irrigate is to plant al alia."—Riveiside Reflex. , EGOS GOING EAST A Turn In the Tide of the Movement ol Hen Fruit It is interesting to note that we are getting the turn on the egg business and are sending to Chicago a few in exchange for the many which are shipped Into this state. In our last issue Mr. Whitman told in an Interesting way how it is that theso "western eggs" are rolled together to flood our far western markets. Our shipment far eastward this winter ls a com mercial novelty. The Chicago dealer who was selling California eggs last week says that this is the first time that California eggs werj ever sold east of the Missouri river. "Never before," says this Chicago egg expert, "would such a shipment have been profitable. The price in San Francisoo frequently ranges from 50 to 60 cents a dozen. Thirteen months ago we shipped four or five carloads of eggs from Chicago to San Francisco and sold them there at 16' i oents a dozen, but last winter was warm and eggs were cheap in Chicago. The whole sale price here now is 128 cents a dozen. The carload we bought In Sen Francisco cost us lv cents a dozen and we have ordered another carload. The freight cost 3% cents a dozen, leaving us a nioe profit, The carload contained 12,000 dozen. They are what are called Cali fornia ranch eggs. The cold rains on the coast are now over and the warm weather has caused the hens to lay rapidly, and eggs are cheaper there now than they have been for many years. The hens in the west seem to boon a ssrike, but the New York bens have greater cause for I striking because of the importation of pauper eggs from Canada. Nearly all the eggs in New York come from Canada. They are not fresh but are limed. Some of them are a year or two old. There are no fresh eggs now in Can ada. The winter has been very severo on the hens.—Pacific Rural Press.

Hester Canal Tt.e Manchester Ship Canal, says the English Statist, is hnpclevslv bankrupt. This Journal, says the Engineering News, says ' that the ShsTre capita; now amounts to 940,000,000 and * 13,500,000 of 4 percent and $22,800,000 of per cent. Including $20,000,000 of pre ferred shares at 5 per cent, the mere annual interest charge is $2,812,300. This leaves out of account the $2,500,000 which the company still has power to borrow, and also the pro vision for the sinking fund, depreciation, etc. The Statist suggests that the city of Manches ter alone nan reduce this charge, and as that city is said to bo greatly benefited by the canal It proposes that Manchester reduce Its interest on the $22,500,000 invested by It from 4W to 3'i per cent. This would at once make a saving of a year without lots to the city, Ihe opinion is growing In England that ultimately the canal will hay* to be taken over by some public trust, issuing bonds se cured by taxes on all the area benefited by the construction of the canal." The Florida Disaster Speak ing of the last hard freeze the Jackson ville Union says that orango trees were mora hurt than in December, on account of the sap having, in the southern parts of the State, started to run freely. Thousands of acres of vegetables, such as egg plants, watermelons, tomatoes, peas, etc, will have to be replanted. There was a larger crop of vegetables Just com ing out of the ground than at any time in th* history of the state, as almost every orange grower had resorted to this means to recoup. On the east coast, along the entire Indian river, the pineappla growers are severely hurt, some saying that two-thirds of the plants themselves are killed. On the west coast and in the lake regions tomatoes, which were al most the exclusive crop, were killed outright. Even strawberries were set back and in places killed.—Pacific Rural Press. St rp.wh***y Rvchanje C. \T. Finch returned a few day* ago from Azusa, Covina and Glendora. He says straw berry growers down that way are arranging for the formation of a strawberry exchange on the same plan as the orange growers are organ ized here. They have found it necessary to handle their own crop if they would make anything out of it. Th* time will be and should be when all middlemen will be don* away with in handling all the products of the country. The producers will never bo able to get a profit on their labor until there ar* these organizations in every brench of Indus try.—Riverside Press. The Oyster Trade Oyster shipping houses are alarmed at the decrease in the trad*. In Contrast to an ex port of over 5000 barrels a week last year, only 210 barrels were sent out last week. The cause is a scare over th* alleg-d nnhenlthiness of tb* American oyster, started by British journals.— Bradstreet'a. Pollination Green's Fruit Grower says: Fruits produced by self pollination are quite different from those produced by cross fertilization. Few varltlesof apples will self fertilize to any ex. tent. The chief agents for fertilization are in sects, and honey bees are among the best. Every fruit grower should keep some bees tor fertilize his blossoms, or see that his neighbor does. Dandruff is due to an enfeebled state of th* skin. Hall's Hair Renewer quickens the pu> trltive functions of the skin, healing and pre venting the formation of dandruff. ' S. R.
