California Crop Prospects.

NEW NsOEK, NlaY. 5.ssSan Francis
CO crop reports received to day from
various pnrtsS shew the Sacramento
valley yield of wheat>,o be from half
to thee quarters average. Solano
county prospects good for fair crop,
same in Nevada and Sonora valleys.
San Joaquin valley. crops arc very
bad in many localities; will not prob.
ably save seed wheat. The valley
will not probably average oyer quar-
ter of a crop. San Jose valley will
produce a good average In Sadis
valley the wlicatSis in splendid con.
dition on the higher land covering
abouts775,000 acres, but on the river
bottoms half crop are extremely
doubtful. In southern counties the
grain generally is in good condition,
and considering the increased area
planted will probablyNailord the usual
surplus.
