San Benito.
HoLLIsrER. = The business outlook here ant
throughout the county is quite encouraging
Considerable building and other improve
ments in progress, and there is
general well founded hope that the season
will be the most prosperous that we have hat
for several years. especially the wheat market i'm
proves. FIGURING mills constitute the leading man
ufacturing enterprise. There is large quantity o.
grain on hand, but no active demand. Real estate
is low and there is not much changing hands. The
demand for labor is fully supplied. The leading in
terest is agriculture, but there splendid oppor
tunities here for more general system OF manu-
factures, and fruit-raising could undoubtedly be
prosecuted to great advantage large scale. The
rain which fell within the last forty eight hours has
improved the crop prospects all over the county.
San Bernaritn0.
SAN BERNARDiNo.-Th business outlook for San
Bernardno was never so bright as now. Not since
the days of the Panamint excitement has business
in all its branches been so lively. Building has
been active the past six months, and still tgoes on.
All the buildings are substantial and two-story
bricks. The recent maing discoveries in the vcin-
ity the prospects of additional railroad connection
with San Diego, and the completion of the through
southern route Is the direct of the recent
tivity Manufacturing yet is in its infancy. Two
planning mills one wooden mill, one fruit canning
establishment, one fruit-dryng establishment
and two Touring mills constitute our pres
ent manufacturing interests. With the help
of the last few days rain We can count on a
twoshirds grass crop on an average. 1t has helped
the mesa lands, and somewhat damaged the bottom
lands. The fruit C op promises good yield. The
late rosts damaged to some extent the aprcots but
peaches, apples and other fruits will prove abund
ant. The present demand for labor is limited in
immediate vicinity, but the San Diego Railroad
has experienced difficulty in getting supply
san Diego.
SAN DEGo.-A general review of the business of
San Diego and vicinity shows the most prosperous
state OF affairs in the history OF the place. More
freight is we'd than ever before and is constant
ly increasing Cargoes of lumber arriving daily

ETC., are also going up. Two brickvards have all
they can do. third is about to be started here
and fourth at National City, to supply material for
the railroad company's buildings, which are to be Of
brick and stone. The improvements under way at
National City by the railread company, aside from

over $500, 600 They are now laying down heavy
water.pipe in every direction for their machine
shops and works The articles of incorporation of
the Bay Land Improvement Company, composed
chiefly of the Boston railroad men, filed yes
terday. They have 900 acres Of land in contin
uous body, and offering special inducements to
the industrious class of settlers to build small
homes and establish a productive population
around the bay. The demand for labor
is increasing, especially in connection
with the railroad works, lettings for additional sec

Bessemer steel rails and fastenings, and ship from
New York, with locomotives, etc, now afoat,
and will begin to arrive in July. They will be loaded
back with wheat at this port. The mining inter-
doll

with very satisfactory results. Two new assay
offices are doing a good business There are here
two quite noted mining engineers and minerao-
gist OF reputation examining the mining prospects.
The agricultural outlook is exceedingly satisfactory

ing Of vineyards and orchards is on the increase and
there is stcadf growth OF population OF the most
desirable class.
San Francisco.
san FRAScIsco.-The general condition OF trade
and finance in this city shows gratifying evil
dences OF improvement. The value Of real estate is
still far below the prices ruling five six years ago.
but while it cannot be sad that there exi is
-" business boom" in any line, there is general
tone Of permanent prosperity. Activity in building
is not so grea. at former periods, but some OF
the buildings to be erected this summer, and now
in process OF erection, large and fine as any
ever erected here. Residence property is not IN
special demand, but in some portions Of the city
many new dwellings are being erected While the
demand for labor is not in Excess of the supply,
there are but few idle people and no considerable
class In merchandise the spring trade
opens well, with fair promise Of a good trade
son. One notable feature to be mentioned is the
resumption of prosperity in the hotels For the
past three months the hotel registers have shown
larger number of transients in the city than for
several years past. Every hotel in the city may be
said to be doing profitable business.
san Joaquin.
SrocKToy.-More building is going on and more
in contemplation at. the present time in Stockton
than at any previous time for a number of
years past Dwellings are multiplying rap.
idly in all parts OF the city. They chiefly cot
tages, varying in cost from 81, 500 to $1,000. The
manufacturing interests lively, all firms working
more hands than usual at this season OF the year.
The business condition is satisfactory and the gen.
eral outlook is regarded as highly encouraging.
While there is scarcity of laborers at present,
when the harvest opens there will be no lack
o' opportunity for industrious men to procure
ployment. Observing visitors speak in high terms
of the business activity manifested in Stockton.
San Luis ObispO.
SAN LUIS 0BIsPo.-Since Sunday morning 1.S0
inches OF rain has fallen. The early and volunteer
grain is somewhat damaged, but all late crops are
insured which will more than compensate the loss
to the farmer. There will be greet abundance Of
feed and large crops throughout the country. The
business outlook for San Luis Obispo city and
county for the coming is better than it has
been for the past five years. The large crops last
year surprise, and in consequence still
larger acreage this year, with the promise
Of still larger yield than last year. Building and
other enterprises will be projected, and the in
creased demand for labor will invite large immi-
grafton, In conjunction with the Various other
thirty miles OF railrosd leading from
or this city into Santa Barbara, to be built
and completed before the expiration Of nine months
The condition and prospects of the various indus
tries of this section therefore more promising
than before, and this county bids fair to take
first rank in progress and prosperity for the next
five years.
San Mate0.
REDWOOD CrTY.-The business outlook in this
