McAdie, section @irector of the climate and crap service of the Weather Bureau. is as follows: GENERAL SUMMARY. Cpol weather has prev; throughout . the Btate during the u{e:fi:‘umu frosts in nearly all sections Sunday and Monday morn- | ings. Rain has fallen in ali parts of the State, | with heavy snow in the mountain districts. In some sections the temperature is reported the Jowest of the season. b conaition of grain has been greatly im- prowed by the rainfall, cspecially in the south, and the cold weather has had no injurious ei- fect cxcept in vetarding the growth of grain and green feed. Prospects continue good for heavy crops of wheat and barl in the central and northern districts, and are much better in the south than during the past month. In some sections farmers are increasing the acreage of grain and plowing and seeding are progressing rapidly. Pasturage is becoming more plentitul | &nd stock are in good condition. Warmer | weather would be beneficial to all crops. The low temperztures and killing frosts at the close of the week have undoubtedly caused some injifry to citrus fruits jn Southern Cali- tornia, although no reports of damage have | been received. Ample warnings were given, | end the orchards protected by smudging have robably escaped with comparatively little in- | ry. Vineyards and orchards continue in good ©ondition and pruning is progressing. Decidu« wus fruit prospects are excellent.’ SACRAMENTO VALLEY. Cold weather has prevailed during the week, with frequent rains and killing frosts. Therg | has been a heavy fall of snow in the mountains. The cold north wind on Saturday was followed Ly freezing' temperatures Sunday and Monday mornings, causing some damage to garden truck, green feed and tender Wheat shoots. | Plowing was retarded by 1o frequent showe: but grain, pasturage @i o orchards were ben fited. Grain continues i1. <od condition and & heavy crop is predicted. Orchards and vine- yards are doing well and fruit prospects con- s on bot er m ST AND BAY SECTIONS. Rain during the week has greatly benefited Erain and pasturage. especially in the southern coast counties, and has enabled farmers to re- sume plowing and seeding. There is consider- able snow in the mountains. Cold north winds prevailed Saturday in some sections, and killing irosts occurred Sunday and Monday mornings in many places, but no reports of serious injury | have been recetved. Grain is In very good con- | dition, though making slow growth, and would be bemefited by warm weather. Pasturage is | plentiful and stock are in good condition. Fruit prospects are excelient in all sections. In the s large acreage of new vinevards and orchards is being planted. SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. Conditions have been more favorable for than for several weeks. Rain has fallen in all Darts of the valley, reviving STain agd pastur- age and softening the soil for _chitivation. €now has fallen in the mountain districts. Se- vere frosts have occurred in some sections, but mo damage has been done except in retarding the growth of grain and green feed. Pros- pects are greatly improved, and with favorable conditions through the spring the yleld of wheat and"barley should be nearly average. Warmer | weather and light showers would be very bene- ficil. Plowing and seeding are progressing &nd considerable work is being done in orchards &nd vineyards. Fruit prospects are excellent. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Cooler weather has . prevailed during the week, and severe frosts have occurred in nearly all sections. The generous rainfall has. been of immense benefit 1o all crops and has softened | the soll sufficiently for cuitivating in fields and | orchards. In some localities carly sown grain will probsbly make a fair crop, and the grain acreage will be Increased. Pasturage has be- | come plentiful in most sections and stock are | doing well. Orchards and vineyards are in good | ‘condition, The severe frosts at the close of the week injured unprotected citrus fruits, but as emple warnings had been given it is probable the damage will be light. EUREKA SUMMARY. Rain and cold weather greatly interfered with farm work and growing crops, which are mak- ing very slow growth. Low temperatumes are | preventing premature budding. No damage by Lrost reported. LOS ANGELES SUMMARY. The long drought was broken by fine rgins, 4 { er Wi b date, last season, and rainfall in last twenty-four hours Last This Last Stations Season.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28 —A successful turn was made against the shorts in to-day's stpek market. How far the demand for stocks rep- resented new buying frcm outside sources ca Rly be. conjectured. Condifons which we made the ground for selling vesterday remaine unaitered to-day witho: cting the strong tendency toward recovery. The weakness im the grain markets, which ay the basis of rumors of financial troubles, was turned io a bull argument to-day as showing good conditions for the winter wheat crop. The formulation by the United Mine Worke of flat demands for higher wages which de- pressed the coalers yesterday was ignored to- day. The poor showing for December of Erie and the Reading systems were ignored and these stocks were quite conspicuous for activity and strength. It is thought that part of recent selling of coalers has been in anticipa- tion of this showing and that to-day’s buying was short covering. These vagaries of senti- ment indicate the professional character of the trading. The most important influence of the advance was the stimulating effect of the re- covery of three more points in Amalgamated Copper. The dealings in this stock were almost twice as great as those in any one stock. The further advance in raw copper and the heavy buying in London were taken to indicate that large sums have been left uncovered, waiting for the price to touch bottom. The advance in Amalgamated was taken by speculators to indicate a sentiment in favor of an advance by the Standard Oll party. which has lonz been supposed to favor quietude in speculation Coupled with a published utterance of J. P, Morgan, expressing confidence in the main: tenance of the country's prosperity, the effect was to impress speculators with th> jdea that the great financial powers were again in ac- cord in favoring higher prices for stocks. The upward movement broadened and gained force up to the close, which was at about the best and strong. The reported agreement to main- tain rates among Western railroads and meat. packers was a strengthening influence. The speculation pectation of an advance in the production and had an important sympathetic effect. The statement in the British House of Commons that a pote from the Dutch Government is un- der consideration, presumably bearing over- tures for peace from the Boers, helped the closing strenzth in the market. The bond market was strong and individual bonds were not so overwhelmingly conspicuous s of late. Total sales, par value, $4,385,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

This brought on the fear of Patten selling and the break resulted. The Kansas City operator s said not to be in any dunger of failure, having made all of his home deals. Wheat had a fairly good business. There was little in the way of news of importanc: and the ups and downs of prices were due to local conditions. Cabies were slightly lower and the world's visible supply showed a good decrease. There was rain in the Southwest which gave courage to the bears, but it was the oats dip that brought the principal flu tuations in this pit. The comparative firm- ness of the coarse grains at the opening had | helped wheat materizlly. _May__opened un- changed to c higher at T7%@77%c and even touched 78c, but when corn and oats began to | dip May soid down to VT3k@77%c.

Corn started out strong, broke sharply with oats, but later showed a tendency to hold up | well. ‘May closed steady, unchanged at 60%@ e0%c. Provigions were fairly active and somewhat nervous.

Oklahoma wired: o rain or snow of any benefit to wheat, and many farmers will plow over their land for other crops.” New York reported forelgn or- ders on both sides of the market, with business mostly local.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. All three descriptions under this head re- main as before quoted. Fine Creamery Butter is well cleaned up and fiym, while the lower grades are rather slow. Cheese continues weak under too liberal supplies. Eggs have been going off better during the past several days and stocks are considerably diminished, as shown by the difficulty a broker has expe- rienced in getting up a car for Eastern ship- ment. The cold weather strensthens the mar- ket, as it not only stimulates the consumption, | but cuts down the production on the ranches.

Farcy Oranges are moving slowly, but there is a good movement in the cheaper grades of Navels and Seedlings. Tangerines are scarce and in demand, Lemons and Grape Fruit idgontinue dull and plentiful.

Quotations for Raisins are dropped, and it is uncertaln when they will reappear. operators think they will not be seen again until the new crop comes in, as there are only about 100 cars left at Fresno, and they are tied up by the dispute between the asso- ciation and the packers, They are held by the association, and nobody else has any.
