ON CHANGE
BUSINESS Transacted and Prices Paid at
Home and Abroad

NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-The stock market
today was moderately active upon an jr-
regular movement and poorly distributed
volume of business. A number of the spec
ialties were conspicuous for sharp fluctua-
tons. The changes in the regular active
railway lists were, as a rule, unimportant.
Sugar made some rapid changes and was
unfavorably influenced by the news of the
definite arrangements being made for
starting the Arbuckle refinery. Profit TAX
ing in number of shares gave the marke,
an irregular appearance and some stocks
receded sharply in the afternoon session.
The declaration of a dividend OF per cent
on Rio Grande preferred was attended by
a rise of 1s. per cent. On small transactions
the general market exhibited Improvement
IN the lns<>hour and closed firm at sharp
fractional net geains. Railway bonds
moved upward and some of the gains were
In the usually active issues. Dealings were
moderate in volume but were well eistrih-
uted. The sales were $t677 .00O. A good in
vestment Amand for government bonds
We're reported at improvements in prices

WEATHER AND CROPS
Wet Weather Is Welcome-The Orange
Harvest Begun

Following is the United States department
of agriculture climate and crop bulletin
of the weather bureau for Southern Cali
fornia for the week ending Monday, No
vember 90 1896:
Rain fell generally and steadily on No
vember oath througout Southern California
and which came in good time so as to en-
able farmers to continue the seasonable
work begun several weeks since, and be-
sides placed the soil in good condition for
blowing and seeding. The rains have
started very auspiciousy this season. the
precipitation having occurred at favorable
intervals and at the present time Is some
what in excess of the average. The wea-
ther during the past week was considerably
colder than the seasonal average. with ire
uuent frosts, which injured tender veseta-
ton in exposed places and on low grounds.
The temperature did not fall low enough
nor was the cold spell sufficiently prolonged
to damage oranges or other citrus fruits.
Oranges continue to ripen fast. and the
harvesting season has practically begun.
VENTURA COUNTY
West Saticoy-The rains of the week were
sufficient to put the ground in shape for
blowing and was beneficial to pasture lands.
The rainfall was 1.43 inches.
LOS ANGELES COUNTY
Los Angeles city--The weather was very
cool the past week. with frequent trosts
