SAN FRANCISCO, June IL, 1892.
The week closed on a fairly active market in

confidence heretofore reported appears to be
more pronounced. Harvesting is well ad-

remuneratye prices for fruits vegetables,
nay, cereals, dairy produce and live stock.
Take it all around, and prices for the above
farm products will average higher this season
than they did during the season Just closed.
The mining industry bids fair TO enjoy its full
measure of prosperity, so far as deep and
gravel mining is concerned, but hydraulic
mining will probably continue dead until re-
lief is secured from the General or State Gov
ernments looking to impounding the debris.
This is the feeling with merchants and others
in this city. Our advices from interior points
report farm hands and other wage-earners in
demand. The pay appears to be better The
railroads are giving employment to an un-
usual numbe of men, chiefly for construction
purposes. The money market continues easy.
Exchanges are scarce and wanted.
