do not think that there is any particular reason to
feel discouraged The first two months Of the har-
vest year have about passed away, and no Iait can
be found with the amount OF business transacted.

DRIED FRuTT-The first consignment Of this sea
sons Baisjns arrived today from Briggs Bros OF
Wiltsrs consisting + abyut 40 boxe' in fine con-
li;ion. This initial shipment is probably the earli
est new crop ever sent 10 market, as dealers make
no calculation for invoices until about the beginning
OF October. No price has yet been established for
the new crop, and our quotations represent old
stock. The prospect for good yield OF native
Raisns is said to be pur1ging. 1t is estimated
that the product of the state Will amount to some
I75 900 boxes OF 20 lbs each The season is claimed
TO be full month earlier than usual, and as the
weather for drying is all that eau be desired the
quality OF the incoming crop is expected to be eN
cellent. G. G Briggs, of Dayisville has 600 acres
under catvGtion and expects neAt year to increase
the area to COO acres. He has this year tried the
process Of snb-irrigatiol with marked success, and
he anticipates putting up in the neigh5orhood
Of goo boxes IL is reported that he has re used
81 IS q box for his entire crop, delivered in pack
ing shape at the orchard. The prospective ship
men,s from Riverside, in san Bsrnardno count !,
are estimated at 81 900 boxes. The product OF tao
California l,sisn Company, at kpcklin, Placer
couuty is expected TO 70 up at least 10000 boxes,
which we are toll have all been secured by buyer
at 81 % box on the spot. Although we snail ha e
an excess over the demand for hc me consumption,
which is placed at between $1,000 and 10000 boxes,
!, Is the general impress on that growers viii ger
orally realize remuneratiye figures. 1t is unde: :
