LOS ANGELES MARKET.

Since our last report the crop reports
have been watched with great interest
by both dealers and consumers Re-
ports were quite favorable for crop
until last Sunday, when the hot desert
winds swept down our valley, drying
up many kinds of crops and making
the prospect less favorable for the
farmer and for trade.
BREADsTUFFs.
The latest reports from San Fran
cisco show a moderate export trade
during the past week. The falling off
IN the wheat exports has very
marked influence on the volume of
business. We have cleared three car
goes Of wheat for England since the
1st, showing a value of $4,000. The
only other cargo clearances have been
the steamer Great Republic for YOko-
hama and Hongkong, with flour.
The Liverpool wheat market is given
at s. 11d@9s I'd for average California
and 9s 2d@9s Sd for club. These are
low figures, but the market continues
to look weak under large imports and
, favorable weather for the crops.
New York advices say the export
trade continues light, shipping mar
gins on all our principal staples being
adverse. The recent advance in wheat
has checked business, as neither miller
nor exporter can purchase at present
figures and realize profit. This, with
10 nd
land, has deprived the market of it's
buoyancy, and at the close prices are a
shade easier. Spring is selling at 81 Is
al ~ per bushel, with extra Minne-
sofa for milling as high as ST 30 and
Winter at 81 35@l 81. Some No. 2
Milwaukee has been sold for June de-
livery at 81 2l@l 23s The telegraph
reports fine growing weather in the
West and Northwest, and though the
Winter crop sustained rather more
than average damage from the rigors
of the past season, it is the opinion of
the best judges that the increased
acreage of Fall sown and full average
breadth of Spring seeding will bring
an average crop, future weather being
favorable, and the whole country be-
ing taken into consideration. There
are many sections of the West where
wheat is in excellent condition and
promises full crop; yet if some of the
prophets were to be believed we should
be in some danger of famine few
months hence. The light stock here
and the limited quantity likely to ar
rive this month are calculated to
break the force of the fall in wheat
which now sppn,s to hn imnaudinp
Corn has declined 2@3c. on increased
offerings and falling off in the export
demands. Barley is scarce and very
firm at 81 55@l 81 for prime Canada,
with no business of moment.
The latest from Chicago says the re-
turns of stocks in the Chicago ware
houses present an anomalous condi-
tion of things. The quantity of grain
ON storage is not much different from
what it was a year ago, though there
is considerably more wheat, but large
reduction in other grain. The details
compare as follows:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-05-14

The combined aggregate IS 6,60l, SUI
bushels, an increase of 100000 bushels
as compared with the same time
year ago. The light quantity of bar
ley on the market will surprise most
people. The weekly receipts of barley
at San Francisco equal the entire
stock at Chicago. There are some or
ders here from the East for barley,
which may be filled if the price should
go much lower, though it is too late in
the season to expect much trade OF
that kind.
THE WOOL MARKET.
In New York the market continues
very dull, though toward the close of
the week there was slight increase
in the demand. The sales of the week
chiefly were of California. There ap-
pears more disposition on the part of
holders to meet the views of manufac-
turers, though the change in rates has
not been great. New Spring is being
prices realized are somewhat below
what dealers were led to expect. 1t
has got to be very choice lot that
will realize 35 cents; most of the sales
were made at 30@32 or 33 cents. Fall
California has made with very liberal
demand, and prices continue firm.
Both foreign Clothing and Carpet ma
terial are quiet, but prices exhibit no
change. Sales for the week comprise
SO bales Australian, at 51@52 cents; 25
do. Cape, private; 30 do. East India,
at about Is cents; 1S1 do Spring Cali
fornia, at 29@35 cents; 800 do. Fall do,
at 1923 cents; 125 bags secured, at
58@71 cents.
The Boston market shows the fol-
lowing:
Transactions in the Wool market
have again been quite large, but there
is no improvement to notice, and
holders are still disposed to close up
their stocks as fast as possible. The
principal transactions have been in
pulled and California. Fine tieeces
still move slowly, and holders have to
shade little on both fine fleeces and
Australians, to effect sales; but me-
dium and combing and delaine fleeces

Joking Going on Here.

Old Uncle Jimmy, as he was called,
was strong and devout Methodist. He
always took a leading part as one of the
congregation, and sometimes the "boys"
thought he interested himself little more
than was necessary about their affairs and
doings, for he was always lecturing some
one about their morals" and exposing
their bad deeds to the public. So they
him of this very bad habit
The school-house in which the services
were conducted was arranged in their old
of the room. Now Uncle Jimmy had one
particular scat. which he always claimed
and occupied during services. a9
Now for the plan of attack, which was
thus: -.e8H
A small hole was made through the
seat. and common darning-necdle fas-
tened to wooden spring under the seat,
to which was attached a string running
around the entire room parallel with the
seats; the string was fastened to the
spring, so that when it was pulled in .
certain direction it would cause the needle
to pass up through the seat, and whoever
happened to be on it would receive the
iull benefit of the situation.
Well, the time came for trial: the boys
were ali there early. At last Uncle JIM
my came in and dropped into his accus-
toned seat. a
No sooner had he touched, however,
than he bounded up again. with yell that
might easily have been mistaken for that
of a mad bull. On looking around for the
cause of his sudden discomfort he could
find nothing. and soon all was quiet again.
After services had begun some one gave
the string another slight pull, when Uncle
Jimmy shouted out:
Joking going on here ~
The minister and congregation looked
at him, and some of them arose in their
seats; but, as before, everything quiet
ed down and services proceeded.
Alter while, forgetting his troubles,
Uncle Jimmy gradually went off into ithe
"land OF nod" when the string was again
jerked, more resoutely than before. Un-
Gle Jimmy jumped up again, rubbing the
afflicted part. and exclaimed:
"Joking-joking going on here!''
This time the parsons and deacons gath
cred around him, and the boys, being no
! longer able to hold in, burst out laughing
in which the rest ofthe congregation soon
followed suit.
a more thorough search was made, the
needle found but not the boys.
