Rain has fallen in 2il sections north of th: Tehachapi. The precipitation in the San Joa- quin Valley and the soutbern coast counties was light, but in the Sacramento Valley and the morthern coast and bay counties the rain- fall was heavy, in some places interfering with farm work. There is & good supply of Enow in the mountains Grain is in excellent condition in all the cen- tral and northern districts, and prospects con- tinue good for abundant crops. 1In poriions of theSan Joequin Valley and Southern Cali- fornia more rain will be needed very soon to make even a fair crop of grain.

EXANDER G. McADIE, Forecast Official. San Fi Wednesday; -T!é { 3 EASTERN MARKETS. New York Stock Markel. NEW YORK, Feb. {1.—To-day’s stock mar- ket showed a further expansion in the deal- ings and the great irregularity of the market continued. The selling side was rather better represented than yesterday, but many promi- nent stocks took up the advance at new points. The disposition to take profits was very natural on the eve of a holiday. There was obviously some misgiving also among speculative buyers lest the expectations of coming deals would not be realized. This was especially the case among local tractions, where the glamour of the coming announce- ment of thg Metropolitan Street Rallway deal has suffered some decline. The anxiety on the suffiect was keener £s an announcement is thought possible over the holidey. Recent sanguine expectations of benefits to accrue to the express companies from some sort of consolidation suffered _from eclipse, as shown by the sharp drop of 73; in United States Ex- press, aithough the stock finally rallied 414 American Express, after rising nearly five points, lost it agdin. There were, however, significant points of strength in the market, The Steel stocks were all very heavily bought movement in Pennsylvania was regarded as an alternating movement with that in South- ern Paclfic and due to operations by the same interest. Texas and Pacific wes advanced on the gtrength of the increase in the yearly dis- bursement on the company's second incom: The cause of the strength in the Iowa Cen- tral stocks and !he Minneapolis and St. Louis stocks was the supposed competition for con- Trol between the iliinols Central and . Toek Island. There was very large buying of Southern Rallway and Loulsville and Nash- ville and of a number of stocks of compara- tively small capltalization, which was not ex- plained. The buying of ‘the Readi con- finued very large, but they showed the effect of profit taking. The industrials as a rule outside of the Steel stocks and some of the Gas stocks, were inclined to heaviness. Amal- gamated Copper showed a good recovery, but closed with a small net loss, The closing was active end irregular. Business in bonds continued very large and the price movement irregular. Total sales, par vaiue, $4,640,000. United States new 4s advanced 3 per cent on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stocks— Sales. High. Low.

Information was divided rather evenly between the opposing forces and it was largely the even. ing up over to-morrow that brought out the scanty strength that held to the cereal. North- western receipts were light, but advices had it that there was plenty of wheat there that would soon come out. Reports from Oklahoma. and Kansas were unfavorable for the winter crop and were regarded merely as the forerun- ners of a long series of complaints about crop disasters which will accompany the opening of spring. Some strength developed early in corn and oats, and when Bradstreet’s reported a de- crease in the world's available supply of 3,423, 000 bushels compared with a large increase a year ago wheat was helped upward. Trade on the whole was small, but that also probably was due to to-morrow’s holiday. Liverpool cables were steady to start with, but eased off. May opened a shade to Y%c up at TTR@TT%c, 201 wh 10 78¢ and sased back o the opening | prices. May closed firm at its top fgure, %@ | Sc higher, at T8%c.

Potatoes from Oregon continue to show the effects of frost, and while untouched stock is firm and in very falr demand frosted lots are passed over by buyers, and are consequently dragging. Fancy Burbanks from the River and Salinas Valley continue firm and Seed Po- tatoes meet with ready sale under a steady in< quiry from the country. Onions, like Potatoes, are more or less frosted, and as receipts have been larger of the ‘market is rather weak. Very few e reported at the top quotation and lower prices are looked for in the near future. One car came in from Oregon and a car of Nevadas is reported close at hand. Peas and Beans from Los Angeles were plen- tiful and a large quantity of the former were carried over from the previous day. Other Vegetables from Los Angeles continued scarce nlr high.

Recelpts of Butter were more liberal, and while the market was momentarily firm the firmness s not expected to last In view of the warm, molst weather, which is very favorable to a large increase in the production. There are some sales of fancy creamery at 29c, but they form a small proportion of the aggregate. The receipts of Eggs, as will be seen below, were heavy, and nothing but the light spot stocks prevented a break in prices. There were more on the market, however, and if the ar- rivals continue large for a day or o a decline Will probably result, Some deaiers are ing sales of extra fine ranch at 22c, but this &nn-s is rather extreme for a positive quota- on.

Although the wet weather made business in the frult market rather dull, there was a fair inquiry for all kinds of fruit. Large sizes of Fancy Navels were scarce and the top quota- tion is higher. Choice offerings of Navels and Seediings move well at former prices and owing to the continued light receipts the market Is In fair shape all around. There was no notice- able improvement in Lemons or Limes and the market remains unchanged. There is nothing new to report in Apples or Pears. Six cars of Navel Oranges and a few Lemons will be offered at to-day's auction.
