LOCAL FIELD OF COMMERCE Dun's Report of the Business Situation YES, THE FIESTA HAS PAID A Section That Badly Needs Oatmeal, Spuds and Soupbones Orders for Oranges Coming in Freely-The Independent Shipper and His Cut Prices in a Missouri Town R. W. Rurnham, the local manager of i{. G. Dun it Co's commercial agency, furnishes the following review of the bus iness situation for this dlsrict for the past week: Our New York review at close of busi . nt'ss last week leads to the consclusion that an attempt is being made by tbe Bower of combination to increase prices tfn some leading staples, resulting in a small increase In clearing bouse transac tions, but most of the advance is so ap parently fictitious that it gave little cause for actual encouragement in legitimate trade circles,. Failures decreased through the country in comparison with the cor responding week last year. Turning, however, to our own district wo find the most encouraging signs. It Was expected by many that our yearly festival might to some extent break in on our local trade, but we find the contrary was the result. The week before the Fi esta our merchants reported a very large business, but Fiesta week was even ahead of the week before. This was I articular ly tbe case in men's wear of all kinds— hats, caps, and furnishing goods—dealers reporting the best week they have ever had. The dry goods men had all they could do. there being no lull in their bus iness except during the few hours when processions were passing. Clothing houses hud a large business, as did the boot and shoe houses. Stationery and crockery men report rather a dull week. Restaurants and hotels had all they could do, and it will be but a few days before the large amount of money spent for liv ing will find its way into the bands of the mereahiH-. So, without taking into consideration the indirect benefit derived through the advertisement lecoived, tbe Fiesta has paid. The jobbing was little affected one way pr the 'other, but it is getting into better lines With every encouragement for the future. There are rumors of extensive manu facturing interests to be established here, and likely to employ a large force of men. of which wo will have more to say soon. The almost unprecedented premium paid by eastern parties for our refunding bonds indicates how we are regarded in the east. It is now well assured that more money will bo spent for building than in 1804, and that hard times are over for Los Angeles Since our last report only one failure lias taken place in Southern California and that is too small to merit detailed mention. Orders, received yesterday for both nav els and seedlings were reported as still coming freely from points eastof the Mis souri liver. The sales of citrus fuiits in Colorado. Utah, Montana, Kansas, Ne braska, Missouri and a part of lowa ure Very small, showing unmistakably the re gion where tbe effects of the recent panic and last year's drought combined are the most severely felt. As indicative of the scarcity of money jin some portions ot the east a Herald reporter was shown yes terday a letter from a Minneapolis mer chant who, in replying to a letter malting (■notations on California fruit, said: "I tell you, our country at least wants oat meal, spuds and soup bones." Whole columns of descripive matter could not more graphically portray the financial condition east of the Sierras, Were the Missouri region a market—were times bet ter there, our growers in all probability would have but little room for coruplaint. E. C. Kimbell, secretary of the South ern California fruit exchanges, received a telegram yesterday from Jofdin, Mo., f conveying the informtion that a promi nent shipper of Los Angeles cboiue nav els was offering in the Missouri town c ioice navels at $1.60 f. o. b. in Califor nia, nnd choice seedlings at 10 cents. The regular prices on those grades were $1,00 and 80 cents respectively. The only con clusion is that the grades are not the same, but the independent shipper by offering inferior fruits for Standard grades is hurting tbe reputation of California fruit and packers. This must of necessity work an injury to the state's interests, and should be stopped if possible. But how is it to be done? LOCAL PRODUCE Wholesale and Retail Quotations, Corrected Daily LOS ANGELES, April 25. Eggs today continued to harden, the price being half a cent higher than on yesterday. In anticipation of Fiesta, shippers at Visalia some time ago sent to this city large quantities of eggs which ordinarily would have gone to the San Francisco market. Under the weight the price fell, and is only now recovering its normal position. The first red raspberries of- the season put in an appearance. They came from Eagle Rock, wore of handsome appear ance, and retailed at 30c a box. Yester day also saw the arrival of cherries, which «re sold at 50c per pound. Strawberries are in increased supply, though they are absorbed easily at a drop of 1c per box in the price. The first summer squash of the year also showed up today. They are selling readily at 17)4c Per pound. New potatoes scored a trifling advance over the figures obtaining yesterday, and are selling easily at l%@2c per pound at ' 'etail.

Bond Dealings Lighter but Still of Respectable Proportions NEW YORK, April 25.—There was an active speculation on tbe Stock Exchange today ami the trend of prices was mainly Upward, with the result that in most in stances yesterday's losses in the general list were fully recovered ami in the re maining cases there was a partial rally, except in tbe coal shares, which have de clined an additional fraction. At the opening, under heavy selling of the coal ers, induced by the reported abandonment of the peace negotiations, the market was weak, and a decline ranging up to 2 per cent was recorded, tbe latter in Delaware and Hudson, and 1 per cent each in Dela ware and Lackawanna and New Jersey Central. The depreciation in the rest of the list was fractional. In the late trad ing the ( oal stocks again gave way, but only fractionally, the general market closing steady and, with a few exceptions, at advances on the day's transactions. Tho dealings in bonds today fell off somewhat, but the sum total of the trans actions was of respectable proportions, namely. $3,412,000. Government bonds firm. State bonds inactive.

CHICAGO MARKET The Day's Transactions on the Chicago Board of Trade CHICAGO, April 25.—There were the same characteristics to the market news concerning wheat today as on tbe day be fore. The market acted very nervously, with frequent changes over a range of about %c per bushel. May opened at an advance of %®)4c, and July made a sim ilar gain, the most general values being about midwny between the extremes in the end, July closing at OlU'c and May at 600. The corn market was quiet and tinner on the average. Tho opening price was 48c for July, closing at 17 ; ,'4c bid. May oats opened at ZB&t@2Bj)ic and closed at 28% c, July ranged from 2SJ 4 o to 28% c and rested at 28%®28)4c. It was a dull day in provisions and they were for the most part weak, the closing prices being practically unchanged.
