Tho crop reports received from all the
grain and fruit growing counties in Cali

coming harvest. The wheat crop will be

the change from grain to fin:t cultivation.
The prune crop promises 10 he the best
and largest ever gathered. This is due to
the Increased number of orchards coming

il large number of new prune orchards were
set out this spring. Peaches will reach
more than the average crop. Apric5ts will
yield q very light crop. Constant rains

The Flour Output Deciines-water Now
Going to Waste.
There was quitca heavy decline in the
flour output last week, says the Northwest-
err Miley. Only twelve mills ran, and
their aggregate production was Ill $40
barrels-averaging 1902 barrels daily
against 137,450 barrels the week before,
and 81, $50 barrels for the corresponding
time in 1883. About the same number Of
mills and the same capacity are in opera
ton this week, the daily output being not
far from 1880 barrels. Several of the
mills are down pending the completion
Of work on races running underneath
them, and the date on which they will re-
sumo is uncertain. The river is now at a
fair stage, and considerable water is rum
ming to waste. This makes the millers
impatient to cut off steam, and there is
talk Of the water being let into the West
Side canal about May 1. The advance in
wheat has infused considerable strength
into the domestic market and there has
been an increased demand. The export
market is wholly devoid Of life. The MIN
neapolis mills made more -four during
March than in February, by over 10000
barrels. The figures also exceeded those
Of March for two years past.
