This month has showed relatively
little improvement in general business
The distribution of products has been
fair but not sufficient to materially Im-
prove the position of the industries and
the range OF prices for commodities.
Farm and mine,ss we'll as manufactured
products, show falling off on al aver
ege for a month OF l per cent.
Money markets, however, have grown
more favorable; also the state of foreign
commerce.
To Southern California the most i'm
portant change to note. at this time
when the green fruit trade is just about
to open, is that in the condition of our
fruit prospects. Unusually cold weather
for the month and frequent froste
seriously damaged deoiduous fruits and
whey ards Apricots, peaches ard
piuus have been most effected; toe loss
Vsriously estimated at from 20 to so per
cent. Few vineyards escaped entirely.
In some the damage will merely result
in making the first crop a little late, but
IN many the first crop Of grapes is
to- ally lost. Ia some LOCALITIES almonds
and English wAlnute also show bad re-
suits of blight. 10 grain not more than
half crop can be counted on. Barley
at present is frmer, with good prospects
OF higher prices.
