One Reason for the Depression in Cali- fornia Fruits, The Northwestern Wholesale Grocers’ Asso- ciation of St. Paul has issued the following circular to the fruit-growers and dried-fruit dealers of California: This association, representing as it does all the whoiesale grocers doing business in the great Northwest, protests against the present demoral- 1zed condition of the dried fruit market, growing out of the indiscriminate shipments of dried fruits by the frufl-growers of your Stste to farm produce and green fruit dealers in this section of the coun- effect of thisis that such shipments The prac are thioan op this market by such farm produce and green fruit dealers at prices ruinous to hoth the original shippers and to the legitimate dealers dried fraits, and such shipments are sold with- rd {0 thelr value At whatever prices may offered for them. The goods are used as baits to increase the sale of oranges, lemons and farm products, and the principal object sought to be gained is the commis- sion 10 be earned, without proper regard to the in- terests of the shipper. Such sales establish a ficti- tious price sud depreciate the real value of every pound of like goods which we may beat that time carrying instock. Our market is thus kept in un- certaint. legitimate handling of such goods is made unsatisfactory and hazardous. We feel that the interests of the California fruit- growers, the legitimate handlers of dried fruit in Calitorsia and the jobbers in groceries (which in- ed fruits) in this market are identical, of them are benefited by the siaughter- ing of goods in the manner suggested. It is foreign to our v erests that the fruit-growers of the Pacific Coast should be ruined by the sacrifice of their products in market. We therefore hereby place ourselves on record as belh wholly 0pposad 10 the methods referred to, which are subversive of the best interests of all parties concerned, and respectfully recommend to the fruit-growers of California that they should ignore_delosive c rs or personal solicitors from tbis station of the Northwest soliciting indi- vidual shipments to unknown parties, who may pre icing returns from such shipmen and we ier recommend ihem to dispose of hrough known and regular dealers otherwise. Very olesale Grocers' J. H. Beek, secretary. on the above & leading local on dried fruit says: 1 be of est to every one in the usiness, showing that the East is in as bad shape as we are, and mainly through the foliy of our California growers in rising to the gaudy fiy of the irresponsible solicitor of consignments. o Partiy Cloudy @ Snow rxplanation. The arrow fiies with the wind. The top fignres at station indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath ft,if any, the amount of rainfall, of meited snow in inches and hundredths, during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; 18- therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word “high” means-high barometric pressure and Is usually accompanied by fair weather; “low” refers to low pressure, and is usually preceded and companied by clondy weather and rains. “Lows” ually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure Is high in the interior and low siong the cosst, and the isobars extend north and uth along the coast, rain is probable: but when the “low’ 13 Inciosed with Isobars of marked curva- ture rain south of Oregon is improbable. With = “Bigh” in the vicinity of Idaho, and the pressurs falling to the Californla coast, warmer weather may De expected in summier and colder weather in win- ter. Thereverse of these conditions will produos %0 opposite result. WEATHER BUR U REPORT. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- TURE, WEATHER BUEEAU, SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 1896, 5 P. M.

Y., April 8.—Speculation at the Stook Exchange as of late was qulet and al- together professional. The total sales were only 153.150 shares. At the opening the market was strong and prices moved up 34@15s, Manbattan leading with sales up to 110. The stock was bought on the revival of the Teport that the com- pany would make an alliance with the Vander- bilts. Other firm stocks were: General Electric, the Grangers and Louisville and Nashville. Gen- eral Electric sold up to 388 on a report that the negouiations with the Fort Wayne Company were progressing favorably. Louisville and Nashville moved up 10 501 on covering of short contracts. Tobacco was ~ feverist throughout, aud after Dbreaxing 1rom s334 to 817 ralliea to 8215 In the lasc half hour of busiuess the market devel- oped weakness on vague rumors from Washington that the President to-morrow will send a message 10 Congress approving the Cuban resolutions. The engagement of $500,000 in gold for shipment to FEurope to-morrow and the talk of additional ex- porzs on Satvrday led 10 # general though modest seiling movement. Prices fell 14 to 244 per cent, Sugar, Manhattan, Louisvile apd Nashville and the grangers being particularly weak at this time, =peculation closed weak.

CHICAGO MARKETS. do soft-shell, CHICAGO, Irr., April 8.—The wheat market was charged with bull feeling this morning, and it took & great while for the enthusiasm to calm down. Right at the start prices were a shade below where they closed on Monday, and consid- erably under the curb quotations of yesterday. But a-very few moments passed, however, when & sharp advance took place, “shorts” covering ner- vously, and bellevers of values buying with abandon. The fact that Liverpool showed no dis- position to keep pace with us, as seen in a decline of 14d this morning, was the explanation of the easier opening, but the crowd looked for a bullish Governiment Teport, aud that dwarfed other con- siderations. Reslizing sales caused recessions later In the morning, business becoming rather dull, when the buying fever abated. Recelpts at Chicago were 30 cars. The Northwest had 314 cars, against 257 last Wednesday and 184 & year ago. withdrawals from store at this place were 110,656 bushels. Closing continental cables were generally lower. Export clearances at Atlantic ports for two days amounted to 531,440 bushels. The market devel- oped quit- a weak feeling near the close, and prices declined to the lowest point of the session at. that time, determined buyers of early in the session | being quite as eager 1o sell later. May whe: opened frsm 6634 to 6634¢, advanced w0 68C, di | clined to and closed at 6614¢, 34@5sc under Mon- | day. Estimated recelpts for to-morrow 20 cars. | CORN—Was helped by wheat, but owing to the | of trade {n_this grain values fluctuated but slowly. The opening was easy, following | which a slight improvement took piace. Liver- | pool cables were quiet and 14d lower. Recelpts were 3986 cars, and 183,000 bushels were with. drawn from store, Export clearances fortwo da; amounted to 640,557 bushels. The late easy feel- ing of wheat was particloated inby corn. May corn opened from 3014@30%4c to 3014c, s0ld be- tween 3034c and 30%4c, closing at the inside, 15@ 14c under Monday. Estimated recelpts for to- morrow 220 cars, OATS—If oats derived any benefit from the strength of wheat it was scarcely apparent. _Prices were possibly a trifie steadier than they otherwise would nave been, but quotations were generally lower than Monday. Better seeding conditio; were reported thréughout the country, that sery- ing to cause an easy feeling. Receipts were 264 cars and 1000 bushels were taken from store. May oats closed 15@54c under Monday. Estimated re- ceipts for to morrow 180 cars. FLAX—Was firm. Cash, 90c: May, 8715,@88¢c; September, 93c. Receipts were 34 cars. PROVISIONS—Product was firm and higher to- day. Trading was of falrly good proportions, buy- ers ‘evinding a little more courage. The late de- ciine leaves room for & rally and operators are in- clined to play for one. The hog market was firm and Sc higher, and that in addition to the buoy- ancy of wheat was of assistance to provisions. The decline in wheat later was influential in weaken- ing the product before the close. May pork closed bc under Monday, May tard 214c higher and M. ribs unchanged. Closing Prices.

T he Granite Hill Mining Company of Grass Val- ley has levied an assessment of 10c per share. Work was resumed in the Hale & Norcross mine yesterday and a force of about twenty miners was putto work. It is the intention to thoroughly Open up the ore body reported to exist above the 900 level. Advices from the Gray Eazle state that during the pasy week they have made 22 feet in the main gangway, put in 20 feet of air-pipe, built 40 feet of track on dump and put up six sets of posts and caps near face and retimbered eight sets in the main tunnel. Three men were working in breasts 1 and 2 and three men in the mill. The formation at the face has been large bowlders, gravel and cement, with a large flow of water coming from the face and top of tunnel. The bowlders are giving out now,and a very fine-looking milling gravel is coming in. The weckly report from the Grant gold mine 13 as follows: During the past week tunnel 3 has been extended four feet through quartz assaying #5 10 per ton, making the total length of this tun- el 145 feet. ' Face of tunnel is in quartz. George J. Smith has been appointed superintendent of the mine and will go up to take charge of it this week. Owing to the change in management work will be discontinued for a weck, or possibly ten days, but no longer. Mr. Smith i3 a very competent man, and under his management it is expected that much " beter progress will be made than here- tofore. BOARD !
