The Teports received from the Coast reported un- nged markets.

McAdie, section the climate and crop serviec of the Weather Bureau, is as follows: GENERAL SUMMARY The weather was considerably warmer than @uring the preceding week in the cents nd northern sections, but cool weather continued in the south. Frosts occurred in many places, but were generally too light to cause dam- ege. Light rain fell in the central and north- ern districts Plowing and seeding have been temporarily suspended on the low lands in some of the northern districts on account of excessive moisture and in parts of Southern California owing to dryness of the soil, but in other sections this work is progressing rapidly and large crops are being sown. Grain continues in excellent condition in all places, especially in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, where early sown wheat and oats are making splen- did gro Green feed is abundant, but its growth was checked in some places by the recent cold weather. Stock are in good con- Gition. Sugar béet harvest at Salinas is nearly completed Southern California oranges are mow color- ing more rapidly, and heavy shipments were made to Eastern markets during the week. Large shipments continue from the San Joa- quin and Sacramento valleys. ' The oranges are reported of good size and superior quality. Olives in portfons of the Bacramento Valley were considerably damaged.by_frosts late in November. Unfavorable conditions _retarded raisin making in San Diego County, and a lirge part of the crop is still on the trays. Ship- ments of green tomatoes from Anaheim con- tinge. SACRAMENTO VALLEY.—Warmer weather prevailed during the week, and no injurious frosts occurred. Light rain fell in all sections, benefiting growing, crops and grass.

There will probably be age of wheat, barley and oats. Pasturage is plentiful and stock are in good condition. Large sbipments of oranges are being made. It is reported that the heayy frosts during the latter part of November eeriously ds olives in gome sections and that the crop for pickling will izht, COAST AND BAY SECTIONS.—The weather was Considerably warmer than during the pre- ceding week, but light frosts occurred in some sections Wednesday morning.

Only a few got as much as a point away from last night's close at any time during the day. Therg was a slight ad- vance in the morning in sympathy Wwith special movements in one or two stocks, but a reaction in the afternoon carried - the .level of prices below last night all around and the market closed easy but very dull. Quite an active speculation in Sugar was the prin- cipal“inflience in saving -the day's dealings from actual . stagnation. The movement was accounted for by the announcement during the day of an advance in prices of refined | sugars. After this announcement the -stock reacted. The emphatic disclaimers of recent rumors of a compromise among the warring copper factions. and a late reaction in the London copper market to-day combined to cause a_reaction in Amalgamated. The move. ment of these two stocks had an important sympathetic effect upon the whole market, owing to the preponderance of the dealings in them. In the late weakness Louisville was conspicuous for & drop of ‘1% below last night. To-day’s developments in the money market offered no prospect of early rellef and until that prospect appears no revival in speculation is expected. The sub-treasury took from the money market $1,418,000, bringing its total absorption since the last bank state- ment up to $2,584,000. The sub-treasury also had+a credit at the clearing-house this morn- ing, indicating a continued drain from the money market. Late in the day rumors were current, without confirmation, of a further shipment of gold to be made to South Amer- fca. To-day’s sterling exchange market hers was firm in spite of additional .offerings of loan bills and another day’s large foreign demand, both for wheat and cotton, but the sterling rate at Parls reacted 11 centimes, thus raising the gold export level of sterling. The call loan market was not quite so stiff owing partly to the almost total lack of de- mand, but eixty and ninety day loans were per cent, and for the poor absorptive Spower of the t. On the other hand there is little inclination to pay above G per cent for money to hold railroad stocks at prices which yield generally o T ‘market was little than . inal and the m 'uvhnflhrm o '?:fll ovement sales, par value, $1,655,000. markef anolited States o s (coubon) advanced % o8 et ol - % per cent on | Pennsylvania | Texas & Pacific | Hocking Coal | Amer Locomotive. .

Dealers report an increased business with an advance in many kinds of wool of half to 1 cent per pound. Fihe wools have been especially in demand. While in some cases the advance is perhaps more in the asking price than in actual sales, yet there can be no doubt that there is really ‘a high level of values with sales being made at substantlally a higher range than a week ago. Territory wools continue in a very firm po- sition, with an excellent movement.

WHEAT FREIGHTS—Rates continue very low, quotations being as before, viz.:10s 9d for Sydney, 12s 6d for Melbourne ‘and 11s 3d for the usual options, with steady chartering of vessels, largely French barks. The chartered wheat fleet in port has a registered tonnage of 43,130, - against 65,465 on the same date last year: disengaged, 52,730 tons, against 3500; on the way to this port, 200,570 tons, against 232 i ealllll S WHEAT—The European markets were dull, but with higher Liverpool and Paris futures. Bradstreet's gave the wrold's supply as fol- lows: East of the Rockies, an increase of 1,084,000 bushels;: Europe and afloat, an in- crease of 800,000; total increase, 1,864,000 bushels, Chicago advanced from 75%c to 77c, owing to good buying in St Louis and the strefgth in Corn, Another element of strength was the official announcement of the Manitoba crop at 5,000,000 bushels, which is 10,000,000 less than earlier estimates, and if the same de- preciation occurs in the Argentine, as some anxious shorts fear, the situation will be af- fected, and this causes some uneasiness. The best Minneapolis people say that 75 per cent of the new crop has been marketed. In this market futures were higher, but with the exception of milling grades, which were weaker, cash grain remained unchanged, CASH WHEAT.

Hay and Feedstuffs. Another advance in Hay is noted. The shortage in cars is having its effect, as pre- to-morrow | dicted a fortnight ago. Receipts are light, lo- cal stocks are smail and the supply in the country available for water transportation is getting seriously reduced. Hence the advance. Straw rules firm.

Poultry and Game. The car of Western Poultry that arrived on Monday was cleaned up yesterday and another car was marketed late in the day. Receipts of domestic were light and except for fine, large, young stock the demand was likewise, retail- ers being well supplied from the heavy re- ceipts of last week. Only three cases of dressed turkeys came in and prices were firmer. The demand for Game was fair and the mar- ket' cleaned up well at previous prices. Re- celpts were 160 sacks.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs. The Butter market is quoted weak by the heavy handlers, who are oeffring their best creameries at 3lc and shading this quotation If necessary. Houses carrying lighter stocks quote 82c, but 3lc is the ruling figure. The market is not active and the rain has a de- pressing tendency. Seconds and storage goods continue to sell up closely to the flne cream- erfes, as.previously mentioned. Some houses are quoting an easler feeling in Cheese and report larger arrivals of new. Quotations, however, remain unchanged. There is no change whatever in Eggs, as the demand and supoly about balance. Stocks of ranch continue moderate. Recelpts were 32,900 Ibs Butter, 361 cases | Eggs and 5000 1bs Cheese.

The arrival of the expected four cars of Cape Cod Cranberries is anxiously awaited, as there are orders on the market for about 1000 barrels. The goods are considerably overdue 2nd nobody knows where they are. Stocks of Oranges were large and consisted chiefly of green stock of the large sizes. De- sirable sizes of highly colored fruit moved freely at steady prices and some extra fancy commanded a small premium. Fifty boxes of Malta Bloods, the first of the season, came in from Orovillé, but were not sold, as they ar- rived too late for the regular trade. Some fancy Cornichon and Tokay Grapes in crates sold readily at $1 per crate, but tha general run of offerings was poor and sold slowly. There were no large open boXes received, Christinas Apples were offering from EI Do- rado County. A chest of fancy Raspberries from Hay- wards brought $11 and some from Santa Clara sold for $6@7 per chest. The Strawberry sea- Son is over.
