Reports of Conditions Prevailing Throughout
the State


the State
Generally fair weather prevailed during
the past week, except that light sprinkles
Of ran fell in the San Gabriel valley,
which were too light to do either good or
harm. The temperature was about nor.
NAL in the interior districts, while in
the coast sections it ranged slightly in
excess i'll some places and in others
slightly below, the general average being
about the normal condition. Irrigation
of citrus orchards continues on account
OF the absence of rain. viii CHI should &C.
cur at this period in sufficient quantities
to be of material benefit.
Walnuts are still being gathered and
corn huskine continues, but general farm
work is at a stand still and will continue
so until the autumn rains, and until then
the weekly reports will be few.
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.
Goeta-The weather was foggy during
the entire week and very little bean har-
vesting has been done. but the damp
weather assisted walnuts IN ripening and
they are being regularly gathered.
VENTURA COUNTY.
Standardization is about ready to
gather and is fair crop; all other crops
for the season a-e gathered. The late
hot spell caused considerable loss to the
bean crop, which was hard on farmers.

cloudy nights and morningsi we're the
rule; the temperature was about nor NAL
and the rainfall deficient. Highest ten
perature, So degrees: lowest, 81 degrees.

Berger is now being picked. Owing to
to irrigate citrus trees. Highest tenn
perature, 70 degrees; lowest, AS degrees !;
no rainfall.
Verdugo-The VAIN weather of the
past week has had no particular effect
upon farm work, except to require the con-
| tinusd irrigation of citrus trees; all de-
ciduous fruits are gathered except apples.
Pasadena-The weather was cool and
partly cloudy with occasional sprink les
of rain; everyone is ready for the rain
to begin. Highest temperature, IS de-
grees.
week was ideal for California fail tenn
perature. few fogs formed in the
morning and on Monday night light

The Worlds Wheat

According to the most careful esti-
mates made by the departments of vari-
GUS governments, as we'll as by individu-
ais, the wheat crop of the world for 1895
is 1892 900, 900 bushels below that of last
year. The Liverpool Corn Trade News
estimates that the worlds wheat crop of
1893 was short 100, 000,0 bushels, and
that of 1895 is short 100, 900, 900 bushels /;
according to the same authority, ship
ment to Europe now falls short of actual
requirements. Clapp 81 Company s
Weekly Marke. Letter gives rumor to
the effect that the bond syndicate, who
are reported t" have made $1,000, 900 out
of the government, have been using their
wits and power to depress wheat, while
buying hea lily. expecting to ship the
same and make exchange and eventually
create boom in wheat.
1t seems reasonable to expect that the
wheat crop OF 1895 will conn and better
prices than has prevailed for the past
three years. Should the crop of 1886 fall
still short the granaries of the world
would be emptied and wheat would again
command a living price. At the same
time the farmer who can successfully
grow other crops will probably not miss
a great deal if he does not engage heavily
IN wheat rowing.

Business Begins to Feel the Effects of In
creased Export-The Bond narket
Active With Heavy Sales

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The action OF
enced by rise in the rates of foreign ex-
change 10 within fraction CT the gold
exporting point. Various reasons were
advanced, but it is really attri butable to
che changes in the course of our mer
chandise trade, imports increasing, while
reports show moderate decline. The
September statement of foreign trade
shows that while exports remained sta
tionary, imports increased noticea bly,.
The result was that the favorable balance
of exchange of $4,000 in September.
1894, has been changed into an unfavora-
BILE balance of $6,000,005 in Sept emil Der,
1895. In that month last year the gold
movement was unusually small, tn g re-
suits being moderate imports. The same
month was substantial gold exports in the
aggregate slightly in excess of exchange
Of conditions in merchandise. We i'm.
ported $4,000, 00) more than we did q
year go and have exported $17, 0c0, QUO
more in gold. the strength in exchange
was logically reflected in shading in
money rates. Other new developments
we're confined to railroad earnings, the
passage of the Baltimore and Ohio divi-
dends for the half year and the action
of the governing com ttee of the New
York Stock exchange in deciding to list
the Central Trust company receipts for
Chicago gas. The market opened moder-
ately active and fractlonally higher. Ag-
gressive bear operations soon changed the
temper and resulted in declines ranging
up to IA per cent, with the industrials
the chief sufferers. The final prices were
in the main fractional arove the low
point. There was marked diminution
IN the volume OF trading. The bond
market as a whole ruled firm, although
in the late trading the speculative issues
developed a sagging tendency,in part due
to the hcaviness of the share specula-
ton. The total sales were 81, 696, 900.

poets of the Wheat Crop

r. W. Burnham, manager for Dun d
Co., furnishes the following review OF
local trade conditions:
October trade opens we'll. Most lines
report business meeting expectations.
Retail fall displays are active. Large
houses report trade very satisfactory, but
many of the smaller firms complain that
competition is very keen and profits linz
tied.
There is better feeling among iobbers.
Country orders are coming in more tree
ly and city distribution is fairly active.
Collections still little SLOW
Dried fruit moves slowly; the accumu-
lation of supplies is becoming excessive.
There is an increased demand for Cali
fornia wines.
The presence of eastern bean buyers has
caused bean values to have an upward
tendency!
The advance in price of oil is encourag
ing more active development.
Travel is increasing and the city will
soun begin to feel in trade channels the
influence of our winter influx.
There have been no failures in the past
week.

and higher early in the day despite the
fact that cables came little lower and
that the war scare is over as the senti-
ment was bullish and found some justif-
cation in tie lighter deliveries in the
Northwest which for the first time in sew
eral weeks were below those tor the same
last year. st. Louis sent in some very
bad reports OF damage by the long con-
tnued drought, saying that in good
many sections there had been no rains
since last June and a good portion of the
wheat would have to be re-sown. The
fact that these reports were followed up
bv buying orders gave them good deal
of bullish influence. One of the m ost
depressing factors was Bradstreets report
which gave the worlds increase last week
at 1866, 900 bushels or nearly 5000. 700
more than had been expected. Decem-
ber opened at 81 cents, sold to 6079 then
up gradually to 61ss when it began to
weaken. The big increase in the worlds
stocks kept the market weak and there
was heavy liquidation December selling
to 60A, and closing at COZ.
Corn ruled strong and higher. Moder-
ate deliveries and liberal shipments were
the principal factors, but the market
eased off some during the last hour in
sympathy with wheat. May closing at
291I.
Oats were strong and shorts were good
buyers, while the shipping demand is
still brisk. May closed at 20A.
The prices of provisions show the fol-
lowing changes as com pared with the pre-
vious days closing prices January pork
~ cents lower; lard, ~ TO 10 cents
lower. and January ribs. ~ cents lower.
