California Crop Prospects.

California Crop Prospects.
SAN Francisco, May 9.-Dispatches
from the interior show the crop prospects
less favorable than- at-the-ti -nf-the
last report. A furious norther has been
blowing in the Sacramento Valley, and
while in the extreme northern counties
and in the foothills the prospects are
good, the greater portion of the valley
is suffering from the effects of a drying
wind, and in some Of the largest wheat
counties, such as Yolo, Colusa and So
lano, scarcely more than half a crop is
now expected. In the counties north OF
the bay the prospect is better, and in
Southern Solano it is excellent. In the
counties east of the bay the outlook is
fair, and the same is true in a measure OF
thel lower portion of theS San joaquin Val
ley, but throughout the greater portion OF
that valley the yield promises to be very
small, except on irrigated land higher up
the valley, where the prospect is worse.
The prospect of the southern bay coun-
ties promises about a two-thirds crop.
Around Monterey Bay, and in Salinas
Valley, the outlook is very favorable, but
growing less lattering further south on
the coast. The reports in general indicate
a good fruit yield.
