Crops III California

California has Just experienced the
heaviest rainStorm known III years. The
outlook for all kinds Of fruit is cNcrp-
tionally good and only the late frost can
damage crops. In som" section cherry and
almond orchards are already in bloom.
H'ic excess Of rain has done no hurt to
fruit. and it has greatly helped the dry
districts Of the san .ioaqUin. Reports
from I'll" hig grain districts show that
prospects are good except around Rio Wis

100000 acres have been flooded. StiIl

SILVER IN INDIA.
It Goes Up on Account of Bank of
England's Action.

London, Sept. 22.-The Standard pub
fishes this morning financial telegram
received in the city from Bombay,
which says that the silver market there
is very much excited and silver is
in strong demand consequent upon the
up-country bazaars anticipating that
the Bank of England will be a proba-
BILE buyer at a nearly date; while it is
also believed that a further import du-
ty is imminent and that possibly the
Indian mintS will be reopened. The
telegram further says that the price
has risen in Bombay IA rupees per 100
tolas since last Thursday. Comment
ing upon this intelligence the Standard
says:
"AlI this serves to indicate the meal

in business affairs may do. We wish
the directors of clearing banks could be
relied upon to draw up strong and
emphatic protest to the government,
asking that steps be taken to end these
amateur efforts to destroy confidence
in the stability of our monetary system,
which is slenderly enough supported by
gold as it is.
"Unhappily, London bank boards

the fear is not seldom expressed that
the meeting will talk and do nothing.
This is the more likely, as the clearing

by the justice who was taking deposi-

RELIEF FOR DAWSON CITY.
Cabinet Meeting Held and Decision
to Await DEVELOPMENTS

Washington, Sept 22.-The last cabi-
net meeting before the presidents de-
parture was held yesterday. Secretar-
les Gage and Long, who are out of the
city were the absentees and Attorney
General McKenna remained less than
half an hour. So far as can be learned
the Cuban situation was not under
consideration.
Secretary A1ger said after the cabinet
adjourned that no steps would be taken
looking to the relief of the miners in
the KIondike until after navigation
closes and the government learns
through Captain Ray, who is at st.
Michael the exact situation. Secretary
AIger received a telegram today eX
pressing the opinion that he four
steamers now going up the Yukon car
ry ample provisions for all persons now
at Dawson City and the vicinity. If
they arrive safely, perhaps there will
be no necessity for any relief measures.
If not, it is possible that Mr.. Ladue's
suggestions for dog trains across the
Chilkoot pass may be accepted.

TODAY'S HARRIET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Chicago sept. z.
WHEAT-A decline of 24d1c marked the
opening of the wheat market today De-
cember starting at from 9015c to 90z4 G.
compared with yesterdays closing price
of 9115c. The weakness was due to the
heavy northwest receipts, S53 cars, against
SIS cars last week and $40 cars a year
ago, and to the weak Liverpool market
where a 11sd decline was scored before
foreigners selling a little. On the other
hand, Paris was up trifie, and yester-
days export engagements were reported
al $4,000 bushels. The weakness was ap-
parently confined to the opening. The
market soon turned decidedly strong on
buying by influential traders and covering
by shorts, December advancing, with sew
eral minor reactions, to 91ssc. There was
also some good investment buying. which
helped the advance. The inevitable profit
taking by scalpers then caused the mar
ket to ease off to 91c.
CORN-Corn was easy, due partly to
sympathy with wheat. Receipts, 676 cars
were considerably overestimated. Cables
lower at 31as 0301zc, ard advanced with
wheat to 305sc. Trading was slow.
OATS-Oats shared in the opening
weakness of wheat and corn and followed
those markets during the morning. Re
ceipts were 3O6 cars, slightly over esti-
mates. December opened &c lower at
2015e advanced to 205sc and recated to
PROVISIONS little doing in pro-
visions. The market easy with
grain and lower yard prices. December
pork opened nc lower at $3.50, sold at
sS271a and reacted to ss.3z1z. December
