The crop of apricots Is large and by June 10, straight carload lots will be going for ward. The apricots are very clean and nice' and with the favorable weather we have had thus far this seaeon should go forward in good shape.

The earlier varieties will come in with the apricots, or a few days later. Bartlett Pears A fine crop of nice, clean fruit In all districts.

EASTERN MOHAIR MARKET IS DULL Manufacturers Hhow but IJttle Interest in Stocks Offered. Trading In mohair is fairly active, though only a few dealers are in the market. Local prices are unchanged at 18 Q IS ft cents. Conditions In the Bast show no Improve ment. The latest issue of the Boston Com mercial 'Bulletin says: Manufacturers still refuse to display more interest in stocks than they have shown for a long time. Occasionally a consumer inquires for a little hair, but It either re sults In a purchase of practically no Im portance, or else In a withdrawal of his offer. While dealer are. In some instances, willing to meet buyers part way In the mat ter of price, they show no desire to let go stocks at material concessions. In tha continued abwerrce "of business of 'conse quence, values remain nominally 'steady. The foreign markets are aa inactive, and as unpromising as the local market.

J., that Mayor McBride, of that city, has instructed City Counsel Merrey to begin a suit, charging libel against a New York magazine, which has published an article entitled "The Menace of the Red Flag," which is said to contain reflections on the city. Pater son Is becoming tired tt being referred to as the headquarters of anarchy in America, and is determined to put a stop to it. Mayor McBride e ays the statements made in the article are unwarrantable and untrue, and that the author knows them to be false, and that he and, other writers must cease publishing such false hoods. , Lass Who Loves the Sailors. VALLEJO, Cal., May 22. A young wo man giving the name of Olga Isile and her home as Los Angeles was arrested last evening on Georgia-Street Wharf while entertaining a crowd off bluejackets from the torpedo flotilla. She admits having come up from San Pedro as a stowaway on board the torpedoboat Hop kins, and declares her presence on board was known to most of the crew and to "some of the officers.' One seaman ap peared at the police station and offered to marry her on bis pay day, but she is UU in- aison. PRICES RUN OFF Bull Campaign in Stocks Ap parently Is Ended. SALES ARE MUCH SMALLER Salt Filed Against the Xew Haven System Causes Heavy Selling, - Which Brings About a Sharp Reaction. -. NEW YORK. May 22.J-The contraction In stock, today Memed to Indicate aome sub sidence of speculatlva interest, tbe touU sales for the day faLltng to the smallest for any day this week. The constant baakina; and filling; kept alive .a suspicion that conceal, ment was being sought for the genuine transactions under a cloud of manipulative orders and slick operations of traders In duced by those orders. The opening- prices, coupled with the brisk rally at yesterday's closing, resulted in bringing prices In some cases up to near the high level, touched earlier ' la the week. Traders who Uhought that this heralded an dvf-nce to a new high level and bought stocks on th. assumption were then discon certed by a sharp reaction. The reaction came fit the time announcement was made that a suit had been Sled by the Govern ment against the New Haven system, al leging violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Not much Interest was shown In the fore casts of the bank statement, owing to the unvaried ease of the money market. Tha weeke's absorption by the sub-Treasury and the gold exports amounted to $8,73tf.OOO, and only enough cash seems to have been re ceived on balance In the Interior movement to reduce this drain to about $5, 000,000. Discount rates declined both In London and Paris today. Foreign exchange here was "un changed. The time money market ehowed some activity, especially for six tronths loans, which were mare at per pent. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, f 4, 546.000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.
