Apricots are reported of large size and are now ripening rapidly, Cher- ries arfe of excellent quality and the yleld will not be far below average. The prune crop will be light in many places, owing to blight end canker worm. Other deciduous fruits and vine- yards are in excellent condition. Orange trées @re heavily laden with blossoms. Walnuts are doing well, but a light crop is probable. | acramento Valley—Weather conditions dur- | ing thegweek have been nearly normal and | faverable for growing crops. Very little dam- age was done by the high winds of last week, but much of the moisture in the soil was ab- sorbed and showers would be beneficial. Grain is filling well and there is a good growth of straw; heavy crops are probable in nearly all places. Haying Is progressing rapidly and there is a heavy yield of excellent hay. e | first crop of alfalfa has been secured in Sacra- | mento County. Apricots are reported of large size at Fair Oaks; they are ripening rapidly and the first shipment to the East was made from Winters on the 2ist, eleven days later than last season.

Orange trees are heavily laden with blossoms. Coast and Bay Bections—The weather dur- ing the week has been cool and partly cloudy or foggy, retarding somewhat the growth of grain and ripening of deciduous fruits. The high winds of last week caused but little dam- age to fruit, but dried the soil and injured pas- turage. Light showers would be very benefi- clal. Grain is in very good condition except in the southern counties, where it is reported mueh of the wheat and barley will be cut for hay Haying is progressing in mearly all sec- tions and good crops are the rule in the central end northern districts; all hay is excellent in quality, Prune trees in the vicinity of Santa Rosa are being considerably damaged by can- ker worm; the prune crop will probably be light in most sections.

Vineyards and citrus fruits are doing well. San Joaguin Valley—Cool, clear weather has prevalied during the week, Wwith slightly higher temperature at the close. Strong northerly winds have slightly damaged the fruit crop in some places and injured grain comsiderably in the southern dknrlcll by absorbing the mois- ture in the soil. In the central and northern districts wheat is maturing rapidly and there will be a heavy crop. Early barley is ripe in Madera County. Grain harvest will commence some barley in Fresno County large crop of hay is being gathered. Alll.ll‘ is unusually heavy, but mlxed with foxtail in Kern County. turage is good.

NEW YORK, May 27.—Torday’s stock mar- ket “was afd irregular drop over a fractional tange for the most part below yesterday's | closing” levél. ~There were a few exceptions among minor stocks. The recent demand for Wisconsin Central stocks continued, accom- | panied by rumors of buying for control. There | was an upward movement in Sugar when the report reached Wall street of a conference of Sepators to atten.pt an agreement upon reci- | procity, but the stock dropped back when the conference adjourned without action. A rise seemed a supplement to that of vesterday in the car stocks, Pressed Steel Car reacted sharply over § points on the emphatlc denial of yesterday's rumors of a merger with the American Car Company. Canadian Pacific continued by far the most active stock in the list. It dropped sharply 2} in the first few minutes of trading, but was rallied by arbi- | trage buying from Canadian centers, where the | stock continued at figures above the New York | The reason was considefed a result of | the epeculation which has followed the rise, but conviction remains in Wall street that im- portant developments are pending in the prop- | erty. The absence of developments in the coal strike situation did not prevent the re- | pressive influence exercised by the strike, | Which is emphasized by the increasing scarcity of coal and the growing effect on other indus- tries. Tke Government’s weekly crop bulletin may have some unfavorable effect because of the delay to seeding of the corn crop reported. A batch of favorable raflroad earnings 1 cluding the met showing for April of a num- ber of important systems and good increases in | gross earnings for the third week in May of others was without apparent éffect In the mar- ket. The money market has grown so easy, at or below 3 per cent for call loans, as to have lost importance as a factor. Opinion is by no means agreed in Wall street as to the effect upon this market of a declaration of peace in South Africa. The small effect pro- duced here in contrast with the speculative ac- tivity abroad by the current rumors of peace awakened conjecture here. Of course, there | is the possibility of a miscarriage of the nego- tiations, but there is also a possibility that the activity In speculation and _investment aroused by the end of the South African war Will be diverted into foreign securities shaken have been by a long period of liquidation Tollowing industrial depression. An awakening of speculative and industrial ac- tivity abroad would be likely to lead to the | withdrawal of large amounts of foreign capi- | tal placed in New York in bankers’' loans. The effect could hardly be salutary in American financial affairs. Tre bond market was dull and frregular. Total sales, var value, $1,790,000. United Etates bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

The trading throughout the sesslon was very strong and the buying that put up prices was of the best char- acter. Everything favored the bulls.

Things are bestnning to 100k lnzemunl again in the Butter trade, The exchange will issue no more quotations while the present competition- lasts, and this leaves every dealer to himself. There is a fight on hand, and it promises to be lively. There is a short ele- ment with contracts made some time ago, and o to it is another interest, and between the two the market is being up. The shorts are not averse to a rise, on the theory that the higher the market the lower it witl drop later on and the quicker it will get there. Any pronounced advance would shut off the packing, in which case stocks would aceu- mulate and the market would decline. At pres- ent the market is kept up by the packing and good orders for Alaska and other outlets, and 82 high as 220 s being quoted by some dealers, though the majority do not quote over 2lc. Dalry is bringing aimost as much as creamery, as will be seen. 1 Cheese continues plentiful and weak at un- changed prices. Eggs are firm and 20c is now being obtained, but it takes a fine large ranch Egg to bring this figure, and then only In a limited way. Re- ceipts’ are:ample,- but spot stocks are not large, and the demand is very fair. Importers of Eastern Egss are disposed to help the market up as fast as possible, Im order to favor the rn_importations. Receipts were 59,300 pounds, 2 kegs and 724 tubs of Butter, 1717 cases of Eggs, 4500 pounds of California Cheese and 61200 pounds of Ore- gon Cheese.

Deciduouts and Citrus Fruits. | The usual quantity of Strawberries was re- ceived and met with a steady demand at well sustained prices. Raspberries and Currants are | coming in more treely, but continue to bring | 800d prices. There were a few Loganberries received and sold at 10@12%c per basket. Goaseberries were in heavy supply and dull. The 5 boxes of Figs which were received from Arizona on_the preceding day were sold at $5 | per box. Four more boxes were received yes- | terday and will be sold to-day. Receipts of Cherries continue large, but prices hold up well under a steady local demand. | Fancy Oranges are scarce and the top quo- | tation Is easily obtained for desirable sizes. | Supplies of poor grades are plentiful and sell slowly at the appearing quotations. One or two cars will be auctioned to-day. Five cars of Bananas were received from New Orleans and the Honolulu steamer arrived with resh sup- plies. | Other fruits remain as previously quoted. | _ STRAWBERRIES—$5@7 per chest for Long- | worths and $3 505 for Malindas: crates from | Watsonville. —; from Florin, 75c@$1.

The output Is expected to be large, esti- | mates running as high as 1300 to 1400 cars, against 400 last year. Peaches promise a large €rop, while Pears are admitted by everybody to be short, except on the river, The Prume output will probably exceed that of last year, but wili not be heavy, and will have no left- over stock to contend ‘with this year. Apples rule firm at the good prices, but there is not much doing in any fruit, owing to the practical exhaustion of stocks. ‘Walnuts are firm and in few hands. Raisins are nominal.
