In such case it 1b expected that no change will be made In the grade specifications of such or ganizations unless advance notice is given the exchange accordingly. This Is necessary because of the fact that all sales consummated will be In strict accordance with the established grade rules of the associations for whose ac count sale is made, In effect at the time the fruit is offered to the frade. How ever, to those organizations who have not as yet selected their grade basis for the present season's crops, the exchange strongly commends the rules which It has adopted, as fully cover ing the needs of the situation. to Occur Here Soon. as It hurled the rock . with greater velocity aLd left the roadbed In a broken condition.
