The tempera- ture has been nearly normal. Light frosts ve occurred in some sections, but early fruits have not been seriously damaged. Grain is in excellent condition in all sections and has made rapid growth; large crops are expected. A correspondent at Cloverdale states that crops made better growth in the past week than dur- ing all the season. -Pasturage is abundant, and stock are doing well. Deciduous fruits are in good condition and making favorable pro- gress; there will probably be a large yield. San Joaquin Valley—The temperature con- tinued slightly below the normal during the first of the week, but warmer weather pre- vailed at the close. Occasional light frosts caused no damage. Rain fell in nearly all sections Monday and Tuesday, with hailstorms in the vicinity of Bakersfield. The rains were too light to interfere with farm work, but benefited growing crops to some extent. Grain is in excellent condition and now making good growth. The acreage in some sections is some- what less than last season’s, but prospects are good for unusually heavy crops in the central and northern parts of the valley and good crops in the south. Green feed is plentiful and of good quality. ‘Stock of all kinds are doing well. Deciduous fruits are rapidly coming into bloom and give indications of a large yield. Southern California—Cool weather- has con- tinued during the week, with light. frosts in some places. Rain fell in all the southern dis- tricts on the 24th, and there was a heavy fall of snow on the Sierra Madre and other moun- tains. A hallstorm occurred at Redlands Mon- day afternoon. The soll is in excellent con dition, and warmer weather will cause a rapid growth of grain and grass. Wheat, barley and hay are doing well, and in_some sections will vield fully average crops. Pasturage is plenti ful. Trees.and vines are in excellent condi- tion, and early deciduous fruits are coming into bigom; prospects are good for a large yield. Los Angeles summary—Cool rain first of the week, followed by -fair, -warm weather. Crops are advancing rapidly. and grain is stooling finely. Vines are starting. Orchard and farm work are active. Eureka summary—Cool north winds at the middle of the week dried the soil; considerable plowing and seeding being done. Warm weather and sunshine needed. Fruit prospects are good. Weather Rei)ort.

Wood and Iron says of Lum- 5 Pacific Coast be The luniber business has seen an Improve- ment all through the month of March and the indications point toward its continuance for some months to come. Prices have advanced in every grade, but it cerlainly looks as though the end of this advance is reached, for it would be folly to increase the quotations fur- ther owing to competition and other natural conditions. The retailers have been foolish t their prices tov high and the ng to hurt some one. Wh; ain interests cannot be content b ie difficult to say, but this case stion to an excel- lent_decree. *“Redwood and sugar pine hold the attention of the buyers to a great extent, while the pine and fir of the Northwest is going well at the recent advances. The bufiding all over this city @nd throughout the coast has stimulated the trade gnd the mills have more than they can do. to handle the orders which are daily coming into the local offices. Contractors are finding it extremely difficuit to obtain the orders they need, but the mills arc doing all they possibly can 1o fill their demands. ““Eastern buyers are constantly streaming into this city on their way to secure as large timber holdings as they can avail themselves of, and timber acreage is going up week by week, until there will come a time when al- most prohibitive prices will be asked for both sugar pine and redwood lands. The Eastern interests need the lands badly. but they are too shrewd to be gouged of their Eastern profits. 1f @ California or Western timber land holder wants 1o get rid of his land, they are willing to pay a reasonable price per acre for it, but mot & cent more, and the sooner the holders come 10 recognize this factor, the better will be the feeling on both sides and the more rapid their sales.” The Weather and Crops.

McADIE, Forecast Official. Wednesday; EASTERN MARKETS. s ¥ New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, April 1.—The stagnant condi- tion of the London market this morning on the resumption of trading after the four days' in- terval still further deferred the hopes of the speculative contingent, which has been count- ing upon an awakening in the stock market, The continued absence fiom the street of large capitalists and the coming departure for Eu- rope of the central figure of the financial dis- trict had a further discouraging effect upon the smaller traders, who have been professing confidence that the powers in the money world were going to “‘put’ stocks up.”” The conse- quence was considerahie selling hz'.‘t:‘rd hold- ers and a drooping market. The tend- ency gradually permeated the whole 1St over: coming the strength of those specialtics’ which rose strongly early in the day. The leaders in actiyity were Colorado Fuel, United States Leather, Amalgamated Copper . and Sugar. Colorado Fuel lost all of ts galn, which amounted at one time to 2%, and closed with a fractional met Joss. Sugar was under pres- sure and United Statés Leather stocks did not fully maintain their advance. Amalgamated Copper. however, was persistently firm and closed at the top with a net gain of 2 points. Reports of consolidation of the copper prop- erties of the princivai rival interests made the in the stock timid and they covered York franchise tax law weakened the New York public utilities, and caused some sym- pathetic response. elsewhere. The coalers were affected by the announcement that the sum- mer schedule of prices, representing a reduc- tion of 50 cents per ton from the winter sched- ule, was in force to-day instead of being post- poned until May 1, as was expected. The fact that the dispute with the miners is still op# was an additional influence. The money mar- | ket was distinctly easler, both for call and time loans, and the large disbursements pay- able to-day are of the kind to further increase the resources of the market.. The London money market was also easy to-day. The se- curity of the New York money market- from future complications is, however, not clear, and gontinues 1o be a repressive infiience on specu- ation. The bond market was less active, but was generally steady. Total sales, par value $3- 480,000. . United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stocks— Sales. High.

There was a steady Inquiry for seed Burbanks, but prices showed*no improve- ment, as supplies are more than sufficient for present needs. ¥ There was no change in Onions. Supplies continued plentiful and the market is weak. Yesterday's receipts of Asparagus and Rhu- barb were the heaviest of the seasom, about 1200 boxes of each being recelved. ping demand for Rhubarb helped the market considerably and prices were upheld, but there was only a limited amount of 'Asparagus shipped and prices for this article had quite a drop. Peas and New Potatoes were lower, but steady at the decline, Receipts were 219 sacks Peas and 73 packages new Potatoes.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. _ Butter still keeps up, but the feeling is de- pressed and it would take very little additional prossure to cause another decline. Receipts and stocks are heavy, and while falr shipments are being made to the north, they are not suf- ficlent to consume the surplus. The northern steamer yesterday took out S31% 1bs. E Cheese continues weak under large supplies. The situation in Eggs remains precisely th: same. Dealers sell what they can and store the rest. Those who are buying in the country for cold storage speculation have been slowly lowering their bids for a week or ten days. Stocks here continue large. Nothing brings over 15c except when the buyer has to De glven long credit or the goods have to be de- livered, both of which extras have to be added to_the’ price.
