N EW 0 R AN G ES AR E IN
First California Navels of the
Season Arrive.
FRUIT IS WELL COLORED
Trade I Light In All Prod nee Lines
on Account of the Election.
Poultry Hard to Move.
Exchanges Are Closed.
The election ava a holiday tone to bust
na In the fruit district and trading; was
llaht all day, though the demand improved
seme hat lata In the afternoon.
The featurs of the day was the arrival
of the first navel orangea of the season,
about ISO boxes all told. The shipments
aama by steamer. The fruit was from Por
tervllle. and for the earliest arrival was
very well colored. Prices quoted were $4.50
0 5. but thera will be a material drop when
the real movement starts. Two straight
cars are due Saturday and a mixed car of
oranges and grapefruit la also rolling-. The
first new grapefruit wss received yester
day and was quoted, at $5. BO per box.
The California Fruit Grower, of latest
date, says of the San Francisco orange
market:
Tulare CVvunty this season gained the
honor of shipping the first cnrload of new
crop navel oranges to Pan Francisco. The
consignment came to hand from Exeter
and the fruit was of unusually good size,
color and flavor for so early in the year
and met with a fstr sale at $J a box. Sev
eral small consignments or nave is app-ar-
from other growing sections, but wre gen
erally green and small and were easy at un
utained ratea AsMe from a moderate
movement in shipping channela, general
buying as of a small Jobbing character,
the season being too early to warrant a
staple market. The few lots of Valencia
still available were held well In hand at
firm figure, the deaired else of sound stock
readily commanding the maximum quota
tion when aaies were consummated.
Another new article on the local market
is Spanish Malaga grapes, a small ship
ment arriving in the forenoon. They are
neld at $7 per barret. California . grape
were scarcei and will continue so. according
to a wire received, which stated that,
owing to the rain, the grapes are not in
condition for carlot shipment. Only a few
baskets of Eastern Concord grapes remain,
and these will be cleaned out today. Local
Concords are aJao about worked off.
There were no changes in other fruit
line, which were slow at unchanged prices.
Vegetables generally were steady.
FOCLTRV RECEIPTS VERY LABGK.
But for Out-of-Town Demand Front Street
Would Be Swamped.
Poultry receipt were unusually heavy
yesterday and the demand was very slow,
lb result was a weak market all around
Pome dealers held chickens at 12 cents, but
others cleaned up at 1 1 H centa Out-of-town
shipment took up a part of the sur
plus. Eggs were, weak and sluggish. A few sales
of Oregon ra nch are still reported at 40
centa. but 37 H cents Is the usual quota
tion. The large quantity of Eastern eggs
on the market ha scared some of the hold
ers and shading; of prices la reported. The
egg market In the East, however. Is very
firm.
City creameries quote a firm butter mar
ket, but some outside brands are barely
steady on Front street. Cheese continues In
a frra position.
Notalna: Doing; In Hops.
The hop offices were without sign of life
yesterday. Most of the local buyers came
In from the country to vote and no business
was transacted. It is- regarded as probable
that some developments will occur before
the week Is ended. The trade looks for a
renewed demand from the East, and It
would surprise no on If English orders
mad their appearance.
No Trading In Grain.
There was nothing whatever doing In the
grain markets yesterday, and with all the
Eastern exchsnges closed, local prices were
practically nominal
Receipt for the day were 44 cars wheat,

spectively, gres lightship No. 93. also of
the same pattern, which is intended to

BUTTER IS BARELY STEADY
DEMAND XO GREATER THAN'

Potatoes Offered More Freely
Easier Prices Overstock of
Muscat Grapes.
at
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 3. (Special.)
Under the pressure of heavy potato receipts
and the continued hammering of the market
by a faw houses, the market is weakening
and quotations are lower today than they
have been In two weeks. Good stock sold
as low as $20 and very few sold above (22.
Twenty cars were reported as arriving to
day. The butter market Is barely steady
Cream receipts are heavy for this time of
th. year, and the demand is Just now about
equal to th. supply. With the Alaska busi
ness closed, business is confined almost en
tirely to local channels. Fresh Washington
butter Is held at 34 cents. Eastern butter
Is moving freely at 28 to 32 centa.
Grapes are moving well, but an oversup
ply of black Muscats forced the price of
that variety down today to the very low
price of 6 cents.
Commission merchants report a good
booking of orders for nuts, figs and dates
for th. holiday trade.' They report a moae
satisfactory business than last year at this
time.
The apple market is In bad shape.
The cereal markets are qu!et, with a
trifle 'weakness apparent in oats. Prices,
however, hold about stationary.

LYDGATE P'IGHTS WITH GALE
I .oses Several Sails In Trip Up Coast
From Santa Rosalia.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.)
Captain Law, of the British bark Lyd
prate, which arrived In Sunday evening',
30 days from Santa Rosalia, reports
that shortly after crossing: out of the
gulf the bark ran Into a series of
squalls, during: which a number of
sails were lost. ' Fair weather with
good winds was encountered until off
San Francisco, when the winds died
away and the bark was compelled to
beat her way along until Friday morn
ing. During the afternoon of that day
Captain Law sighted a four-masted
bark, which he belives was the Bal
moral, en route from Tacoma for Eu
rope and on board which he has a son,
who is an apprentice.
A few hours later and In 43:43 north,
131 west: he sighted another vessel

PACIFIC COAST
Punta Arenas, where they are due No
vember 22. Valparaiso is the next stop
ping point, and the fleet will be there
from December 7 to the 11th, sailing
thence to Callao, where they are booked
to arrive December 19.
By January S the fleet should have
reached Acapulco, and eight days later
are due at Plchillnqui, the last stopping
place before. San Francisco. If the fleet
arrives on schedule time it will sail
into the Golden Gate January 26, 1909.
and there will disband, the Columbia
River and the Straits of Fuca lightships
going north together, as far as the Co
lumbia River.
This trip around the Horn is calculated
to take 99 days, and the total distance
covered by the fleet that is, as far as
Stan Francisco is 14,367 miles. Th$ ves
sels are making the voyage under their
own steam, and considering their com
paratively diminutive sises are .undergo
ing a test far more rigorous than -was
put to the big battleships last Winter.
As a matter of fact, the three light
house tenders are larger chips than the
light-vessels themselves. The tenders
have a total length of 190 feet over all,
or waterline length of 173 feet 4 inches,
and a beam of 30 feet, while the light
vessels measure only 135 feet 9 incheo
over all, or 112 feet 11 inches waterline,
and 29 feet beam. The latter ships draw
12 feet 9 inches of water, which Is 9
Inches in excess of the draft of the ten
ders. The lightships are propelled by an in
verted, direct-acting compound engine,
having cylinders 16 and 31 inches in di
ameter, by H inches stroke. The steam
Is furnished by two gunboat boilers. The
vessels are fitted throughout with modern
appliances, and have such weatherly
capabilities that they can keep the sea
unaer any conditions. All the ships in

STOLE TO AID BROTHER
Woman Gets $.20,000 Worth of
Bonds but Has to Give Thera Up.
CHICAGO. Nov. 2. With $20,000 In
bonds which she had obtained from the
firm of Babcock, Rushton & Louberback,
bond dealers in the Rookery building, a
woman known as Alice Cheney Brown
was arrested last night at the Union
Depot and made to return the securities.
She had a ticket for Denver and was
aboard the train waiting for its departure
when Detective Frank Repelto found her
preparing to retire for the night. Re
pelto's instructions from the brokers were
not to detain the woman if she restored
the $20,000 worth of bonds. This she
readily assented to, and she took them
from a handbag on the seat beside lier.
The woman also passed a worthless
check for $63 on the management of the
Congress Hotel Company. The detective
who-is employed by the Hotel Company,
had this sole score to settle with the
woman. She made good the amount of
the check and was allowed to go her way.
The method by which the woman ob
tained the bonds was by passing a.
worthless check on the brokers for $19.
720. Soon after the transaction, Orville
E. Babcock, one of the firm, became sus
picious of the genuineness of the check
and telegraphed to the Farmers' Loan &
Trust Company of New York, on which
bank it was drawn. An answer was re
ceived that the woman purporting to be
Alice Cheney Brown had no account with
the Farmers' Loan & Trust.
It was known to the brokerage firm
that Mrs. Brown was staying at the An
nex, and a messenger was sent there to
find her. At the hotel it was learned that
the woman had paid her bill and left.
She had paid with a check on the Farm
ers' Loan & Trust Company and had or
dered a carriage to take her to the La-Salle-Street
Station.
Manager Southgate, of the Annex, ex
amined the check passed on tne hotel,
and Inasmuch as the check on the brok
erage firm was worthless, he declared
that the smaller one was worthless also.
Detective Repelto secured a description
and with Mr. Babcock went to the Mu
nicipal Court, where a warrant was sworn
out charging the woman with operating
a confidence game.
A .cabman who drove the woman from
the Annex was found, and he said she(
had discharged him at the LaSalle-Street'
Station. He learned that a woman an
swering the 'description of Mrs. Brown
had engaged another cabman and that
he drove her to the Northwestern Depot.
After discharging the second cabman she
hired a third vehicle and was driven to
the Union Depot.
In the baggage-room it was discovered
that the woman had checked a suitcase
to Denver, presenting her railroad ticket
at the time. The Burlington train for
Denver did not leave Chicago until 11:30
o'clock and Repelto waited in the depot
until shortly before the time of its de
parture. How the woman got past 1.1m
and aboard the train without being seen
is a mystery to the detective. When
questioned on that point by Repelto she
looked out of the car window and
laughed.
At first she pleaded for leniency, ask
ing that she be permitted to pay the
hotel, bill and continue on her trip to
Denver. The detective agreed to accept
the $63 for the hotel bill, and she paid
him in cash. Then she turned over the
bonds. When she did so she told him
she had planned to obtain the bonds
which she had hoped to sell in Denver
so she could get funds with which to
aid a brother under arrest in the East.
