MILLSTUFFS—Prices in« packages are ay at current quotations is rather unsafe, though it turned out all right last vear. Buylng is atill going on, however, and stocks in this mar- Vet are still light. 4 There is no further change in Cheese. The feeling in Butter is similar to that in Eggs. The higher quotations, dealers fear, will shut off the present active shipping demand, which the market cannot afford to lose at this juncture, hence the majority of the trade did not quote over 25c for creamery yesterday. At this quotation the Butter can be moved off freely and the market kept in good shape, €0 there is a general disposition not to quote above it. Receipts were 39,200 Ibs Butter, 1552 -cases Eggs and 1900 Ibs Cheese. BUTTER—Creamery, first hands, 24@25c per Ib;: Dairy, 2ic; store Butter, 17@20c.

The Orange market was weaker under heavy supplies, both on the street and at the auction sale, Prices had the same range as on the preceding day, but dealers were willing to grant concesslons in order to effect sales. The Cali- fornia Auction Company sold 10 cars of Navels, including one car of extra fancy Redlands fruit. Aside from this one car fully per cent of the offerings were standard Navels. Owing to the demoralized condition of the market there was less disposition on the part of the promoters of the auction to bid in the stock, and the offer- ings were allowed to go for what they would bring. The prices obtained were ollows : Extra fancy Redlands Navels, $1 90@2 15: ordi nary fancy, $1 25@1 85; choice, $1@1 55; standards, 40c@$1 25. Some fancy Grape Fruit sold at $1 50 per box.. The..tap ps for the Oranges were obtained only for & few small lots, and of the extra fancy stock only 19 boxes brought the top rate, the balance of the .car selling at the inside price. The Merchants Company sold one car of standard Nawels at 1 05. The other Citrus Fruits had no quo- table change and all descriptions were in ample supply.

Various measures detrimental to the in- terests of the people of California have been consistently opposed in Congress and at the meeting of the Legislature at Sac- ramento. President Sbarboro concluded | his report with official commendation of the efforts of the officials and other mem- bers of the assoclation.
