N VALLEY.—Monday » was with light rain, which aid very little damage to drying fruit, owing to timely warn- | ings; the remainder of the week was cleav | | with' pleasant days and cool nights. The con. | ditions have not been very favorable for raisin making, owing to the cool nights and heavy dews. Large guantitles of grapes are moving to wineries. Two or three weeks of warm, clear weather will cure the greater part of the raisins now on the trays. The crop is generally good. Prunes and peaches are about all cured. An unusually large crop of hay has | Dbeen harvested and is now mostly under cover. | A good crop of sweet potatoes is being har- | vested. In some portions of the valley plowing | and seeding grain are progressing, but gen- | erally the ground is too dry. Feed and ‘water | are plentiful, and stock of all kinds is in | £ood condition, | SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.—The weather | has been generally clear and cool during the week, and favorable for fruit drying, raisin making and bean harvest. Beans were not | damaged by the rains of the preceding week and will yield a good crop. Harvesting and ' haying are completed. The hay crop is above average. Barley is of rather poor quality, but yielded a heavy crop. Theze are good ¢rops of corn and vegetables. Walnuts are heavier than usual, indicating good quality. Apples and pears are nearly all gathered and have yielded good crops. Citrus fruits are doing well. EUREKA SUMMARY.—New grass is making fine growth. Grapes and tomatoes were con- siderably damaged by rain. Apple gathering is in progress. Some fall -plowing Is being one. LOS ANGELES SUMMARY.—Weather is favorable for crop gathering. Walnut picking is in full blast; good crop. Bean cutting and beet hauling nearly ended; some beans being thrashed. Orange crop well advanced; peaches are nearly gone. | W eather Report. } | (120th Meridian—Pacific Time.) { SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8—5 p. m. | | The following are the seasonal rainfalls to | | date as compared with those of the same date | last | Season and rainfalls in the last twenty- | four hours: | Last This Last | | _Stations— 24 hours.

ML RS e EASTERN MARKETS. e | | * New York Stock Market. | NEW YORK., Oct. 8.—The conflicting or { varying movements of prices in the stock mar- ket to-day showed that speculative sentiment | was considerably unsettled. The impressive buying of yesterday, which came from a few | concentrated sources, evidently made an im- | pression on professional traders. They were | inclined to take the view that the wavering | movement of the market yesterday was a cul- mination of the downward movement, large bear interests taking advantage of a raid on ieading stocks to cover their short contracts. | Influenced by this conviction there was a dis- position to cover short lines to-day. A drive against Sugar and Brooklyn Transit after the | early . strength unsettled this conviction, but the bears had evidently lost their aggréssive =pirit and did not pursue thelr advantage, but { took occasion to cover thelr short lines again., | Prices touched the highest late in the day, | but the situation once more overcame the specu~ | lators and prices sold off again, making the | closing easy. The signs of an oversold condi- | tion of the market were balanced against the persisting doubts and dread that the money | market resources are not sutficient to save the }mumnn for the remaining period of interior demands for currency. Back of this lies an | apprehension in some quarters that the present | Teactionary tendency of the market may mark {a step in a prolonged downward movement. | preliminary to a coming cycle of declining | trade and " industry, following the culmination | of the late period of prosperity. Even suppos- | ing such a perlod has fairly set in the normal | | course of the decline is sure to be punctuated | by occasional upward reactions. Of special in- fluences at work to-day the publication of the | unfavorable August statement of earnings of Brooklyn Transit was regarded as the culmina- tion of unfaverable conditions for that stock.

Coppor favorably. There was also a report of a get- tlement with contending interests. The death of the Ameer of Afghanistan was a depressing factor in the London market, which was re- flected here. Movements in the foreign markets were decidedly confused. Jonsols dropped sharply and the fall in sterling exchange at both Berlin and Paris seemed to reflect some withdrawal of capital from London, this in spite of repurchases for Paris account in the London stock market. Interest rates also de- clined in London, notwithstanding the install- ment of subscriptions due on the new consols on Friday, which amounts to $25,000,000. Ster- ling exchange in New York continued firm, which was probably the dominant influence in the decline in money rates at London. The recent reports of a coming increase in the Atchison dividend rate persisted to-day, but that stock showed less firmness than others in the list and closed at a net decline. St. Paul | ‘was conspicuously strong and there was a re- newed advance in the Vanderbilts. The late reaction, however, was universal. Railroad bonds shared in the irregularity of stocks. Total sales $2,275,000. United States bonds were all uncifanged on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. C C C & St Louis. Colorado Southern Colo Southern 1st pfd. Colo Southern 2d pfd.

The trade returns, too, are disliked, but the finish was more cheerful. kio Tintos began very flat on the news of yester- day’s unsettled Boerse, which the gale de- layed. This was offset by a recovery in Amal- gamated Copper. Paris offered the stock heav- ily, but London readily absorbed it. New York also came as a buyer.

December sold off early to 69%c.

Profit taking near the close eased De- cember and it closed firm at ¥c advance at T0%@70%c. Corn was weaker at the opening, partly under the influence of prevailing expéctation of a free and early movement of the new crop. The dull trade and absence of any conslderable de- mand also had a depressing effect. December closed weak, %c depressed, at 56%c. Oats had a dull and featureless market. De- cember closed unchanged at 3s%c. Provisions were dull and lower, influenced by a continued selling of the outslde account and’ lower prices for hogs.

WHEAT FREIGHTS—A ship has just been taken for Europe, usual optlons, at 36s 3d, which is now the quotable rate. The chartered wheat fleet in port has a registered tonnage of $4,520, against 47,150 tons on the same date last vear; @isengaged, 13,692 tons, against 1600; on the way to this port, 180,340 tons, against 142,785. WHEAT—Liverpool and Paris futures were both higher. The visible supply of the world, according to Bradstreet's, increased 1,743,000 bushels, as follows: East of the Rockies, an increase of 2,348,000; Europe and afloat, a de- crease of 600,000. Chicago was qulet and featureless. There were more sellers than buyers. Northwestern Tecelpts were 500 cars less than last week. Later on the market became firmer and the shorts | were made nervous by reported buying for French account. There was an urgent demand for winter, but a poor demand for_ spring wheat. The advance for the day was %c. Conditions in the local maket remained about the same, futures improving and shipping srades standing unchanged.

The Govern- ment will probably take from 1000 to 1500 tons and the Puget Sound and Oregon markets are both higher. The scarcity of Oats in the West and Southwest this year has advanced the price of Oatmeal there to a point where it cannot be shipped to California, and as our usual lib- eral importations of this product are shut off our local Oat market is naturally firm inde- pendent of the Government demands. Then, as previously mentioned, the termination of ‘the strike has led to increased feeding of horses, so the situation is strong all around. The world’s. visible supply, according to Brad- street’s, decreased 1,139,000 bushels last week. Grays, $110@120; whites, $110@130; black, $1@1 15, and red, $105@1 20 per ctl.

Still, both markets lack snap, and the medium and lower grades are inclined to | drag. Cheese remains steady and unchanged.

Dealers quote a quiet market for Oranges and Lemons and supplies, while not large, are sufficient for the demand. Limes are in fair request at previous prices. Peaches and Plums are now running light and will soon be out. Fancy Apples, free from worms, continue firm at top prices. There are plenty of Quinces lying around. Figs are in limited receipt. There is not much shipping demand for Grapes, as the last shipments to the north ar- rived there in bad order, being sour and wet from the rains. The local demand is also quiet. Wine Grapes continue firm. New Grape Fruit is coming in from Oro- ville. DECIDUOUS FRUITS. APPLES—T75c@$1 25 per box for good t and 25@65c for ordinary.

Dried Fruits, Nuts and Raisins. All fruits are more or less quiet and easy, though letters from the other side of the coun- try predict a revival in the demand before long.

The packers say that the sick- mess among Hogs in the northern part of the State has been very much exaggerated, and that more Hogs have been reported lost there than can be found in the whole State. They further say that they are not buying any Hogs that are sick, or even in poor condition, as no packer would be foolish emough to buy any Hog that was likely to die on his hands, es- pecially when the margin of profit is so narrow s at present.
