Paper Upon Olive and Cork-oaE CuI,ur,
Teachers Excursions

Paper Upon Olive and Cork-oaIS Culture
Teachers Excursions.
SAN Francisco, April 17th.-The Execu-
tive Committee of the State Board of Trade
met this afternoon.
Secretary Davis reported the receipt from
Congressman Morrow of valuable books
and pamphlets relating to agriculture.
Mr.. Mills submitted the report on olive
culture obtained by the Committee on Pub
LEGATION. 1t is 10 form the chapter on olive
culture in the pamphlet to be published by
the Executive Committee. The article was
written by a practical olive-grower, Arthur
Tappan Marvin, and treated of the culture
of cork oak in California as well as the
culture of the olive. II was said at the
outset that this State, with its 1000, 600
acres offers home for 10000, 600 of people.
The whole State is within the olive belt,
which is between the forty fourth and
eighteenth parallels of latitude. Colfax,
with $500 feet altitude, is about the north
ern limit of the olive at that hight. To
cultivate further north alower level must be
sought. 1t was figured, as to demand, that
fifty million gallons would easily in time
find market in the United States. A lib
eral estimate of the present oil production
of California is 5000 gallons annually, and
| If the consumption is placed at one gallon
per mead annually it will be some years be-
fore even the home demand can be salts
fed. The cultivation of the olive was de-
scribed in detail. Any soil but moist one
will nourish the tree. The olive reaches
maturity in fifty years and will live for $50
Certain sections of the State were said to
be especially adapted to cultivation of the
cork oak (QterclS Suber). The tree is q
handsome one. 1t may be peeled for the
first time when II to ii inches in diameter
and about twenty years old. In this State
with its fertile soil the tree may mature
earlier.
Some sample sheets of the geographical,
Typographical and climatic map of the State
that is being prepared by the Publication
Committee were exhibited. 1t was asserted
that this map, according to the plan pro-
posed will be one of the best ever pub
lished. In a corner of the large maps
space will be reserved for enlarged maps
of separate counties. The maps will be
ready in about two weeks and will be
widely distributed.
Arrangements for excursions during the
season of the National Teachers Conven-
ton in July next were considered, and one
to go up one side of the Sacramento valley
and back upon the other was definitely de-
cided upon.
The committee adjourned to meet the
second Tuesday in May.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

WHEAT-The market is quiet, though firm.
The situation is an anomalous one. While there
is strong and advancing tone to Wheat no gen
eral disposition Is shown to purchase, SO that
sellers are placed in a peculiar position. OF
course, there is some trading, but il is only I'M
der compulsion. 1t is a noticeable fact, how
ever that very little first quality Wheat is sub
mitted in the open market. For stock OF this
character 81 80 q ctl is the asking figure, and
holders are not inclined to make any abate-
ment. Light sales were negotiated on this basis
to-day, a miller being the buyer. Parcels of
choice or fancy nature are held even higher. At
the same time an article of good quality is
offered at 81 3l11 = ctl without bringing out
prompt response. Spot sales in lots of 100 tons
were made in the Call Board this week at 81 3i1S
al 34j4 q ctl, seasons storage paid, which
must be accepted as representative transactions.
BARLEY-RepOrted sales to-day OF some 500
bags feed at PIC z ctl is the best evidence that
desirable article is worth full quotations.
Movement in Brewing is slow, as custom is con-
fined wholly to local trade. Troubles at Eastern
breweries destroy all immediate prospect of
business from that direction. For Chevalier
there is no demand, and few holders even
trouble to place it among offerings just mt the
moment We quote as follows: Feed, good to

S5G924c; Chevalier, good TO choice 81 20@1 SO;

OATS-Receipts are still coming to hand with
freedom almost wholly from the northern coast.
Values remain easy, and lower figures would
likely prevail if holders attempted to press mat
tiers. As it is buyers have the situation in their
favor. and therefor purchase with leisure and in

demand is light and slow. Scarcity of White has
given more strength TO its value. Holders ask

probably the lowest rate at which it can be OBJ

DANGEROUSLY CARVED.

Serious ARRAY Between a Couple of
Tramps at Barstow.
ICopyi9ft, 1888, by the California Associated Press
BARsTow, April 17th.-A serious cutting
ARRAY occurred here this afternoon. Two
tramps were lunching together, when a
third tramp, named Dougherty, joined
them, remarking that the others should di-
vide their lunch with him. He was told
by one of the others, youth named Will
Jams, to rustic for his own meals, Williams
claiming to have supported Dougherty for
several days.
Dougherty then attacked Williams and
struck at him with a club. Williams cut
him several times about the head and once
in the back, infiicting painful, if not fatal,
injuries.
Williams was captured by citizens, and
is being held for the arrival of the Sheriff
and doctor from Dagget, who are tele-
graphed for.

ANAHEIM, April 17th.-On Sunday even

aheim, were alarmed at seeing large fire
at the northern extremity of thesettlement.
The neighbors hocked to the residence OF
George r. Hinde, and found him engaged
in burning about 100 stands of bees, to-
gether with an abundance of excellent
honey and wax. Hinde is the vegetarian
who caused so much comment some years
ago. because of straying his child. He has
lately become seized with an Inspiration
that, as the bees were robbing his neigh
bors' orchards of their sweets, the apiary
should be reduced to ashes, which was &C
cordingly done. The loss is some $1,000.

The arrival of a steamer this morning from

The laying of Pacific cable is the one
