LOCAL BERRIES ARE DRAGGING WITH POOR QUALITY OF SUPPLIES California Stock Lj Firmer and Higher, Rut Northwest Fruit Is Not Meeting With Favor at Ex treme Values Now Quoted. While the market for California strawber rlea on the local trade Is firmer and gener ally higher at $2.25 per crate for beat quality in crates of 20 Dints, there la not much activ ity In north' est, berries as yet. itecelpts from tiregon points and from Ken- newick are somewhat more liberal. While the quality ia daily showing Improvement, it U not yet good enough to bring the usual prem ium OTtr the California Importations. Early aales of Kennewlca berries packed In 24 pint crate were mad along the wholesale way at $5 a crate. There were only a few aales at this price. When the limited de mand at th extreme point waa supplied, re ceivers were unable to unload even at $4.50 per crate and aome were said to be offering yesterday's berries down to 14 daring the day. California shipments in this direction are expected to cease entirely during the next few daya and this will throw the entire demand "pcm the local product. ..Expectation are for a good market, although much will depend upon weather conditions aa well as the quality of offerings.

It Is probable that the board will meet and make this request aa soon as the governor, who ia out of town todav. returns. If this request is made, the attorney general will pro ceed with the investigation, using probably the regular funds appropriat ed for his office and depending upon the emergency board to give him re lief when his funds are exhausted The attorney general, however, ts opposed to any move that might be in tended to force the state to an early trial of the case, as he ways a thor ough investigation must be made first. as this case is not In the same condi tion as were, the Hyde-Benson land fraud cases, which the attorney gen eral prosecuted with marked success. In the Hyde-Benson cases the land frauds were of more recent date and the government, as a part of Its prose cution of Hyde, on criminal charges, had gathered a great deal of evidence which the state could use in its suits to recover the land involved, while in the racine Livestock company ease the evidence has not been gathered.

On th liability side the largest in crease is shown for member banks,' reserve deposits, chiefy at the New York bank, due to temporary rede-, posits of funds previously paid out by the federal reserve bank ln con nection with foreign government credit operations. As the result of these operations the reserve banks' gold reserves declined about 20.2 mil lions and their total reserves about 10.8 millions. In transferring funds to the New York bank the govern ment availed itsolf largely of the services of the gold settlement fund, as is Indicated by the large Increase ln the amount standing to the credit of the New York bank and by the reductions ln the credit balances of nearly all other federal reserve banks. An increase for the week of nearly $10,000,000 Is shown In the holdings of bills discounted and bought.
