LOCAL FIELD OF COMMERCE
Dun & Co.'s Report of Trade
Conditions
A SEASONABLE DULLNESS
Orange Shipments More Than Supply
Eastern Demands
Dry Weather Makes Sitter Prices for Farm
Products-The Dried Fruit Market
Stagnant-Two Failures

r. W. Burnham, manager for r. G. Dun
G. Co., furnishes the following review of
trade conditions prevailing locally during
the week:
Trade has been quiet in nearly all
branches of retail business during the past
week, and dealers are generally busy with
the yearly stock taking.
Jobbers report business seasonably dull,
country collections slow, city collections
fair.
Oranges have gone forward rapidly from
Riverside. Other points are inclined to
hold back shipments. The demand in the
eastern markets has not met the supply,
and prices have weakened considerably
since the opening of the season.
Dry weather has stiffened values in farm
products. In dried fruit there is stagna-
ton. Practically not sufficient business
upon which to base quotations. Dealers
still hold choice stock firmly.
Banks report deposits keeping we'll up.
They are not loaning freely, but boarding
resources awaiting the completion of ar
rangements for the sale of the new issue of
government bonds.
There have been but two failures in our
district during the week. Liabilities $l4,-
200, nominal assets $4,000.

Reports as TO conditions OF Crops and Need
of Rain
Following is the United States weather
bureau weather crop bulletin of Southern
California, for the week ending Monday,
January 10, 1896, furnished by George E.
Franklin, observer:
Unseasonably warm weather prevailed
the first part of the week, with very dry
northerly winds, which intensified the con-
tinued drought, or rather the absence of
the usual winter rains which generally are
copious at this period of the year. The
temperature greatly exceeded the daily
normals from the Sth to the 10th, and at
Los Angeles on the 9th, the temperature
was three degrees higher than any previ-
ously recorded during the first decade of
January. The latter part of the week was
considerably cooler, with some clouds and
light sprinkiing rain on the morning of the
18th, in the coast sections. Dry weather
is making feed scarce and prevents gem
eral blowing, though considerable dry
blowing and seeding is being done in some
localities. The warm weather was favor
able to oranges which ripened rapidly, but
the lack of rain necesstates irrigation of
orchards.
SAN LUIS OBISpo COUNY
Musick-Dry weather is making feed
short; cattle are looking fairly well; plow-
ing is still progressing. Warm days and
frosty nights are the rule.
VENTURA COUNTY
Observation-Disclosures remains cold and
clear; rain is much needed, with no indi-

CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Board OF
Trade

The Days Transactions on the Board Of
Trade
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The atmosphere of
the trading hall was we'll charged with cleo
tricity from the bull dynamos when bust
ness started and caused all the leading
speculative articles to jump into sparkle
of enthusiasm for higher prices. Wheat,
corn, oats and provisions were all wanted
at yesterdays closing prices, but few were
found who were willing to part with any on
such terms and consequently an advance
commenced at once all along the line.
Wheat opened at 593s cents bid for May.
Inside of half an hour from the start 59M
cents was paid. The only fresh bullish
features in the session were moderate re-
ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth-4l0
cars-and the official report of last weeks
Russian shipments, which were only 952,-
600 bushels against l 100000 bushels as
estimated yesterday. The buying enthus-
iasm died out for time when it
was seen that nearly all those who
had taken a little wheat imme-
diately at the opening and those
who had bought calls had plenty for sale
at ssc advance. During the next hour and
a half the price gradually shook OIL its
early accumulation, but took another spHrt
near the close. The bullish tone of the
corn, oats and provision markets had
something to do with the last-named little
swell. but rumors of activity in the demand
for cash wheat had probably the principal
share in creating the extra inquiry for May
wheat. Corn was active and strong. The
news was no more bullish than before, but
the receipts were again moderate. The
early market for oats was quite active,
with shorts taking up considerable and
generally coed business doing. Towards
the close interest in trade ceased and
on the jump and kept bounding about in
an unusually active manner ali day, and a
very heavy business WAS the result.
The leading futures closed as follows:
Wheat-No. 2, January, $3.50; February

NEW YORK, Jan. Is The Evening Posts
london financial cablegrsm says: The stock
markets were active and bnoyant today in
soils sold at 1923 English railways were
especially strong on the beginning of the divi.
The demand for South American governments
and South American railroads continues. The
issue OF Chilean loan of 2,00o 600 is ex-
pected soon Americans were distinctly bet
ter. Bears are covering. Regarded from the
Investment point of view the opinion here is
still against Americans. but the opinions con-
slider that, given a calm in politics, the size OF
the new American loan, If successful, affords
strong bull point for speculation at present
prices. Erie was good ON reports that the
stock of the recognized company will be
issued the middle of February The strong
rise in Australian mines continues. The Paris
and Berlin markets were stroDg, but the
former shows no signs OF return to the recent
activity.

WALL STREET SPECULATION
The Bond Syndicate Dissolution Causes
No Trouble
No Doubt Is Expressed That the Bond Issue
Will Be Largely Over Subscribed
Bonds Strong

New YORK, Jan. 15.-Wall street was
formal announcement of the dissolution of
the world-famous government bond syndi-
cate was not followed by any sensational
developments. The knowledge that the
new government loan would, in the event
OF necessity, command the support of the
members of the syndicate, either individ-
ually or as a combined force, caused the
news to be received with equanimity. The
volume of business was light and the
market displayed waiting tendency.
This condition may be set down to the I'M
certainty that prevails in financial circles
as to the probable course of the money
market in the event of indiscriminate with
drawals of gold from the banks or the sub
treasury to pay for allotments of govern
ment bonds. AS to the loan itself no
doubt is expressed as to its being fully SUBJ
scribed, or even largely over subscribed,
and the increased competition for the
bonds, owing to the appearance of the
members of the syndicate as individual
bidders. is expected to result in very salts
factory prices to the treasury department,
The market after an early show of strength,
developed ssgging tendency, due TO the
doubts entertained in some circles as to the
way the market would take the news of
the syndicate withdrawal. Sugar was at
tackled and yislded ~ per cent. Losses
in the general market, however. did not ey-
