The PLEASANT WEATHER still continues.
and our farmer friends sll over the valley are
busy turning up the ground. Let them con-
tinue the good work. This valley cannot
produce too much grain. California mourns
the absence of rain. and stock raisers are Kill
ling their cattle in order to cave them from
death that an unprecedented drouth renders
almost certain We learn that unless heavy
rains soon fall in that State not only will
stock suffer greatly, but the farmers will be
without crops of any kind. In consequences
OF the dismal outlook for grain crops, freights
have gone down, and ships are now Offering
TO take cargoes at the lowest rate ever known
-2 per con. As stated in an item elsewhere.
there remains about ten thousand tons of
grain in this valley awaiting shipment. With
the opening of navigation this grain will
command a handsome figure, and put large
amount of money in the pockets of our farm
ers. Let every available acre of land be
brought under cultivation, and if possible
run the shipmen, for 1877 up to two million
bushels. This can readily be done, and the
whole country made rich.

The announcement that contract
has been made with the syndicate OF
bankers to take twenty-five millions OF
the new four per cent loan at par in
gold is gratifying evidence of the
steadily improving credit Of the United
States. OF the four and a half per
cent one hundred and seventy-five
millions have been issued, and the
syndicate are permitted to take TWEEN
ty-fye millions more. No further is
sues will be made. Those bonds are
now selling at more than four pei
cent premium in London. The foul
per cents now come to the front. They
have thirty years to run before the
Treasury can exercise the right Of
calling them at par, and this fact, witt
their present authorized amount Of
500, 100000, which is likely to be
increased to the full amount of al
bonds outstanding at higher rates O
interest, makes them the most desira
BILE of investments for all who wisl
long dates, the best security and free
dom from taxation. For thirty days
after full notice, these bonds are to BIZ
open to every one at par and interes

fact that eight years ago, the six pc
