The Central Pacific Railroad authorities have made
public the returns regarding the crop prospect in
this State which they have received from their
agents. These reports show that the ra mail thus
far has been sufficient and the prospects for large
yield of grain are very bright. Even in the San
joaquin valley and the southern counties the re-
ports, with few exceptions state that sufficient rain
has fallen for the present. On the whole, the agri

viewing operations fer the year, A. T. Mcguire says:
&c At the close of the year we find the markets for
freight and vessel property just about where they
were at the beginning of the year, except at some
remote parts of the East where freghts still remain
at the advanced rates for the year. Values Of the
past year or two are barely obtainable of the few
purchasers who are tempted to invest in this de-
scription OF property and so long our American
ports are kept overcrowded with European tonnage
of every description (Which at present is unparal-
eled at this port at least the case is not likely to
improve much' For the week ending at San Fran
cisco to-day the engagements have been as follows

There is little change in the domestic produce
market. DR.. Glenn is to ship to Europe two
three large cargoes Of wheat after refusing

owing to the downward tendency of the wheat
