Up to the present time there has been no material 1E- jury to grain or fruit from extreme heat or northers, but field fires have caused consid- erable damage to grain. Harvesting and threshing are progressing rapidly in all sections. Small shipments are beirg made, but most of the grain will be stored in warehouses. Reports from nearly all the grain-growing districts north of the Te- apt show that previous estimates were in main correct; the vield of wheat and bar- is the largest for several vears, and in eome instances above the average. Both are excellent in quality. The yield of grain in rn California is below average. The rop is one of the best for many years 2nd of good quality. Sugar beets, hops, corn, beans and vegetables are generally in splendid condition, wit! prospects for large erops. Pasturage is becoming scarce and cattle are being driven to mountain ranges. Much progress has been made during the week in picking, drying and canning deciduous fruite. Nearly all varieties are excellent in quality, but except in a few favored sections the yield is far below average. Meager re- ports are received from the grape-growing dis- tricts, but indications are that the yield will be about average, Oranges are in excellent n, and a beavy crop is predicted. Wal- nuts are doing_well Sacramen Valley arly normal tempera- ture has prevailed during the week, and con- ditions have been favorable for growing crops end all kinds of farm work. Grain harvest, hay making and baling have progressed rap- idly. Whest, barley and hay are of excellent quality, and in some sections the yleld is above average. Grass and brush fires have caused slight damage in Tehama County. Green feed is becoming scarce in some places. Corn, hops and potatoes are doing well. ‘Fruit pick- ing, drying and canning are progressing. Grapes and citrus fruits are in good condi- tic Coast and Bay Sections—Conditions have been generally favorable for all crops, except that prunes in the Santa Clara Valley have been somewhat injured by heat.

Fruit picking and drying are progressing; there is a light crop of most varieties. Grapes, walnuts and citrus Irllxal(ts .rctrén :ood ‘L,'onfi;iori an Crop Special—Mr. L. E. Blochm: Santa Maria contributes the following: "(;:-x:; to unusually cool weather in June and the camage to vines by worms, the plants are be- low normal size, and the bean crop will be much less than anticipated. Present condi- tions are very favorable, however. The bean belt includes all of San Luis Obispo County and Northern Santa Barbara County, and is one of the largest centers for the small white (navy) bean.”” Eureka Summary—Corn and peas are doing well, but potatoes and oot crope generally are beginning to show the effect of continued dry weather. Oat haying progressing finely and yielding better than was expected. Los Angeles §ummary—The weather is favor. able for ripeping and @rying fruit. Apricot harvest is on; crop light.

NICW YORK, July 16.—There was a show of strength in the early stock market to-day, but 1t was mostly dissipated before the close. The attention to the crop news and the reports over night of rains was a strong influence in the advance of the corn carrying rallroads, which extended to from 2 to 2% in the most prominent members of the group, Atchison leading. The sharp rally in the corn market late in the day and the language of the weekly Government crop report depressed the corn-carrying roads, and just before the close St. Paul fell to a sharp fraction under last night. The United States Steel stocks were apparently pegged, and their unyielding support discouraged mere raiding tactics on the part of the bears, but the insiders who bought the stocks had to ac- e * | cept a continued stream of liquidation all day. There scemed to be irfluential buying also of the Pacifics, Grangers and Southwesterns, but it consisted in the acceptance of offerings rather than of active bidding for stock, and not much resistance was offered to the late re- action. The banks show no evidence of a desire to foster renewed speculation, and are asking rather higher rates for time money. Call loan rates receded, but without resulting in any actual pressure of money to loan, and sterling exchange was also easier this morning, al- though it stiffened again before the close. Favorable progress was reported in the Lon- don stock exchange settlement. The sub-treas- ury is contributing to the money market and that institution’s debt at the clearing-house to- day ran up to §2,690,585, due to heavy pension payments and to payment of a check for Klon- dike gold deposited on the Pacific Coast. The relaxation thus variously indicated of require- ments upon the New York money market was the important factor in the firmer and quieter stock market to-day. The headlong liquida- tion of last week and yesterday morning was thus shown to be unnecessary. There is no dis- position, however, to encroach upon the money market supplies, which, it is belleved, will be certainly needed at an early period in the crop movement. The railroad bond market was quiet and ir- regular, with a narrow range. Total sales, par value, $1,435,000. United States 3s, the old 4s and the bs ad- vanced % and the new 4s declined % per cent on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Closing Btock— Big, Atchison . 3% Atchison p 851 Baltimore & Ohio.

NEW YORK, July 16.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock market to-day was more cheerful and the natural reaction after the slump and demoralization of the last few days was en- couraged by the Cape Premler's strong speech on the war. In consols the bears scurried to cover, causing a rally of % to 92%, but there is more talk of a fresh war loan (poseibly £100,000,000). The new Indian loan of £3,000,000 proves a fiasco, only £1,000,000 having been subscribed. The loan has been withdrawn. The foreign markets were more cheertul, but coppers were weak. American stocks opened hard, but business was confined to two and three hands. London bought slightly, but most orders from New York were feverish and fluctuating. Atten- tion was mainly centered on Atchisons, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. United States Steel was comparatively steady. OLOSING.

Aggressive local support and re- ports that New York Stock Exchange traders were buying stemmed the tide almost imme- diately. During the rest of the day reports were received showing that the situation 'in the spring wheat territory is practically un- changed. Some claimed considerable damage in South Dakota. The official weather fore- cast gave slight prospect of better conditions. Commission houses sold with considergble liberality on small * bulges, but the market easily handled all offerings, and September steadlly advanced to 673c.
