OPPORTUNITY
GOOD Agricultural Land for $40

Inc racine improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land IL the heart of Tehama County. for the
parpoRe OF promoting subdivision and settle

class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF far average quality, and is offered at
lrom $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, 80, 40, 16o and $50 acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
meps of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of Il Ve equal an
nuai installments Thus no part of the prin-
cipai is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years IN which to
pay nve equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent per annum.

eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity 10 purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, ard es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
hao IN California for less than from SEQ to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40

agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition

SAN FRANCISCO August 3, 1892.
The week closed on a generally duh market
in general merchandise. fruit aud vegetables
In the two latter branches the market not
only closed the week dull, but at lower prices.
Inc lower range Of values was largely brought
ABOUT oy the larger buyers getting fruit
through the auction system at generally
much lower prices than the same grades sold
at private sale. The lower prices being quoted
IN the papers enabled their buyers to purchase
from orchardists In tile country at lower
ranges OF value than they otherwise could
nave done. In other words the system is run
very much In the same way the Call Board is
run IN the interest of wheat and barley spec
ulators.
The local money market is working a shade
closer, with the tendency to more strength as
farmers deliveries of grain increase. Bankers
ana grain commission merchants report that
all of 40 per cent. more grain is being ware
housed than there was at this time in last year.
The low range of values is causing the in
creased storing. Not only are farmers storing
larger quantities of grain, but they are getting
larger advances per GENITAL. The money that
Is being sent TO the country for crop purposes
Will soon begin to find its way back, al
though the quantity going out will be larger
Tor the next three weeks than VIII find its
month the receipts will show steady gain on
the shipments 1t is claimed that tor rail-
road construction and improvements in gen
eral the disbursements in this State are
larger than at any time in the history of Cali
tornia, and yet they seemingly do not
have any visible effect on trade. This
is partly accounted for by a general
feeling Of conservatism which dominates in
all branches of business. Travelling sales
claim that the retail trade not only carries
smaller stock than ever before, but the large
majority OF merchants are not disposed TO
buy beyond nearby trade wants. This spirit
of conservatism extends to customers who
conflne their purchases within as narrow
limits as it is possible for them to do. The
decline in silver, it is claimed. is another inn
portant factor, for as it declines there is a cor
responding decrease in the market value of
wheat and other farm products imported by
the European gold using countries from India
and other silver using countries. The decline
in silver since January last is as follows:
