The weekly report of A. G. McAdie, section girector of the climate and crop service of the Weather Bureau, is as fullows: ERAL SUMMARY. The temperature has been below the normal Guring the week. Cool pleasant weather has prevailed in nearly all parts of the State, and the absence of high temperatures in the great valleys has been guite noticeable. Light showers are reported from points in the interior on the 10th, 14th and 16th. At many places thunderstorms of moderate intensity occurred. In Sonoma County lightning damaged ‘telephone poles, and in some of the northern countles bufldings were struck. No damage was.done 1o crops. Harvesting and threshing are coming to ap end in most places. The crops have been much better than auticipated, and nearly all the grain is of excellent quality. Pasturage is becoming scarce, but stock are reported to be in cxcelent condition. Nearly ali of the de- ciduous fruits are ripening rapidly. Prunes, pears, peaches and almonds are in very good Bondiion, and_there are no complaints of in- or loss. There will be an unusually good of hope, and also of beets and corn. The grape crop throughout the State is very satis- factory. The growers seem to be satisfied, and 2 large crop is expected. Raisin making will focn begin. Citrus fruits and walnuts are doing nice Canpners and dryers have all they can attend to. SACRAMENTO VALLEY.—Cool and partly cloudy weather prevailed during the week, with jight thunderstorms in the northern.portion of the valley on the morning of the 1ith and night of the 15th. On the evening of the 16th a thunderstorm with heavy.rain accured at Sis- son. These. conditions retarded fruit dryin but caused no material damage. Grain_thresh- i5g and hay baling are progressing. Fruit dry- ing continues, and large shipments of fruit are Teported from some sections. Almond harvest Ingrogressing. Hops are making §00d progress. and a jarge crop lshexvecled °f‘ picking will commence during the coming weel COAST AND BAY SECTIONS.—Generally cloudy apd cool weather prevailed during the week, with light showers in some localities on the 10th and 14th, but these caused no damage. On the whole, the weather has been very good growing summer crops. Beans, potatoes, squash are doing very well. Fruit The foot-nills 18 ripening nicely. The grain ha vest is nearly over. The correspondent at Up- per Lake states that the rainfall was the heav- jest reported in August, with one exception, for elghteen years, amounting to 0.07 inch on the 10th. There was little damage, if any, and the effect will be beneficial to later crops. It is thought that the vintage will be much later than usual. Deciduous fruits are ripening rapidly; picking, canning and drying are in pro- Eress. 4nd in Beneral the yields are heavy, ani the fruit of good quality, * Where citrus fruits are grown, they are reported to be doing well. JOAQUIN VALLEY.—Clear weather Dried Fruit in N Porterhouse | Occasional | put | | With exceptionally cool nights prevailed during the week. These conditions were favorable for grain harvest, but somewhat retarded the ripen- ing drying of fruit. Grain harvest is over | in most sections, and will be completed in about | ten days. The yield of wheat and barley will be large in the northern portion of the valley. Fruit picking and drying are progressing | Tapidly. The declduous fruit crop, except for | pears, will be large in most localitles. ~Vines | &re i excellent condition, and a large grape crop seems -assured.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—There were more Napa—Prune drying in_ progress: good orop. | shares of stock sold on the exchange than yes- terday, dealings rising again over the half. million mark. The market took on & falr ap- pearance of average strength, but an analysis will show that the gains in the majority of equally active stocks are fractional, while the really striking gains are confined to a few spots in the market. The dealings were largely in professional hands and were supposed to re- flect the operations of speculative pools, in- cluding some of the prominent capitalists of the country. The situation of affairs was not materially changed from that of_yesterday on the approaching. return to New York of J. P. Morgan, which has caused a renewal of many long current rumors of financial projects and railroad deals, which are supposed to await | his action to be. DJ in force. The most promi- nent of these in it6 effect upon the speculation | Is the formulation of a plan for control of Louisville and Nashvilie. There seems a fairly general agreement that this plan will take the form of a guarantee of a dividend on Louls- ville and Nashyille, commonly supposed to have been fixed at 7 per cent. The movement led by Louisville made itself felt in other Southern stocks, notably Iliinois Central, Nash- ville, Chattancoga and St. Louls, Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio, which were all supposed to derive some benefit from this cause, although the advance in Pennsyl- vania and Baltimore and Ohio pointed to specu- lation on the soft coal traffic. A settlement of the coal strike and a decision on the question of the presidency of the United States Steel corporation are also supposed to await Mr. Morgan's action, The upward movement in Southern Pacific was aggressively renewed to- day for the first time since the announcement of the proposed $100,000,000 mortgage to pro- vide funds for betterment. THis movement was also assoefated with the homecoming. of a well-known speculative leader, | Who has operated largely in it in the past. Canadlan Pacific and its subsidiary companies form another center which radiated strength and the gossip to account for the rise pointed to efforts by that company to secure an en- trance into Chicago. The strength of Wiscon- sin Central and of the Chicago Terminal stocks seemed due to the same rumor. There were various other points of interest in the market, but all scemed equally due to special causes. The money market was not appreclably easier, although there was less tendency to flurry than yesterday. The rate for call loans was ' weli Eustained, however, at about 4% per cent for the largest part of the loans. The recent rapid downward course of forelgn exchange was ar- rested and there was a tendency to recovery in that market. Some selling of stocks here for | London account was a factor in the firmer ex- | change market. It became-known to-day that $500,000 in gold was shipped out of the country sterday to Buenos Ayres, supposed to be for ihe purpose of moving the crops there. A vio- | lent ‘break of six points in Colorado Fuel and | Iron followed a suggestion that the struggle | for control might throw it into the hands of a | receiver. The stock rallled 33. The market | closed dull and frregular. Liquidation in Central of Georgla income | bonds ‘was continued and made the bond mar- ket irregular. Total sales (par value), $1,925,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stoek— High. Low. Close. Atchison .. 28, 9215 | Atchison ptd 10214 | Baltimore &.

Recelpts ot Fruit were lighter than on'the preceding day and the market had a better appearance, but prices showed little improve- ment. Grapes and choice orchard fruits in small packages were in demand for shipment to Puget Sound and desirable offerings read- ily brought the top quotations. Some few lots commanded a premium. Berries were in moderate receint and sold well at previous prices. Cantaloupes and Nutmegs dragged at «easy prices. Supplies of fruit in bulk from the river were less liberal and the market is grad- ually cleaning up. The canners bought some Peaches at $6@10 per ton and a few lots of Plums at $6. Owing to the low prices of fruit on the street, few retallers went to the whart to buy, and in consequence there was no aac- tion sale of fruits at the latter place. Mexican Limes advanced again, as supplies are very light. The other Citrus and Tropical fruits were unchanged. RASPBERRIES—$7@10 per chest.
