quent morning fogs. which extended well
inland. until the evening of the 23d. when
general rain began to fall which continued
during the night and was followed on Sun
day by bright. clear skies and fresh TO
brisk northerly winds. Until the close of
the week the weather was unfavorab BILE
for raisin making and for ripenng sugar
beets. but the clear skies and northerly
winds which followed the rain were ex-
ceedingly favorable for drying grapes No
damage resulted from the rain except in
some cases molding was detected in lima
beans Orchards and alfalfa fields greatly
benefited by the rain, which has started
new feed on the hillsides. The weather
was favorable for general farming. The
rain put the soil in good condition for
blowing and some seeding is being done.
Oranges are coloring and are in fine con-
dition Crops are generally gathered ex-
cept the late fall products. Corn husking
is well along and early vegetables for the
winter are being planted.

ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street


NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Trading in stocks
during the early part of the day was re-
stricted in volume and the fluctuations in
prices were narrow and irregular. The
latter part of the day saw quite an in
crease in activity and rise of prices to
the highest of the day, the declines before
the close being small. Union Pacific con-
tinued to be the center of interest in the
market and ruled above yesterdays close
all day and closed this afternoon at or near
the best and 213 above last nights close.
The opening again was due largely to SYM
pathy with London, which sent a higher
quotation for the stock. The belief gained
ground as the day advanced that the gov
ernment and reorganization committee
would come to an agreement on the basis
of the committees expected intention to
bid the full amount of the governments S
claim on the main line. The fact that this
bid leaves the governments claim of over
$13, 000, 900 on the Kansas Pacific unpro-
vided for and the rumors that increased
bids might be made by other interests
which might provide for this Indebtedness
caused some feverishnes in the speculation
at times as the acceptance of such a bid
by the government would endanger the
whole plan of reorganization in spite of
the assertion of the committee that they
were prepared to carry 1t out even if the
government should bid in the Kansas Pa
cihc. But late in the day reports from
Washington assumed quite definite form
that the cabinet had resolved to accept
the committees intended bid as minimum
guarantee and withdraw their request for
a postponement of the foreclosure sale of
the main line. A fall of Sla points in the
price of Kansas Pacific consols trust re-
ceipts was the forecast of the news received
later from Washington that the commit
Will, tha 1av,t tn
cluded an assent to a postponement of the
Kansas Pacific sale, presumably with a
view to giving an opportunity to secure a
bid on this property that would provide for

beans are being planted for early winter

estminster-Cloudy mornings and warm
days the first part of the week; cooler
nights the latter part. Crops looking well.
The last rain makes it necessary to har-
vest sugar beets so as to prevent second
growth. New feed is starting to grow.

amounted to 81 of an inch. Highest tenn
perature IS degrees; lowest, 81 degrees.

THE STATE AT LARGE
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26.-The follow
ing summary of the climate and crop con-
ditions. collected by Section Director Ham
mond, for the week ending October 25 is
based upon reports received from eight
weather bureau stations, ffty-two tele-
graph reports and many representatives
scattered throughout the state:
Weather generally cool and damp. A
general rain occurred in the northern por-
tion of the state on Thursday and through
out the whole state on Saturday. Ample
warnings of each We're distributed and
generally observed, and the injury to dry
ing fruit was slight. The drying was. how
ever, retarded. Grapes still unpicked were
seriously injured in many sections. How
ever the first crop was for the most part
harvested The north wind following the
rain of the previous week so dried the beans
in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los An
geles counties that they were for the most
part threshed and out of the way. The
ground is now in fine condition for plow-
ing and seeding in all parts of the state.
Citrus fruits are reported as in excellent
condition in Southern California. Olives
are being pickled Oranges are commence
ing to color and promise fine and heavy
crop. Walnuts are mostly harvested.
The weekly ranfalls were: Eureka, 2.42

the department sent sugar beet seed to

taking out the policy Field became in
debted to NJ. 7. Mann, changed the name

with the consent of the comptny. Field

DR. Ward, the vice president of the
prudential Insurance company. has in
terested himself to institute at Yale reg
ular course in the study of insurance. 1t
was felt by Mr.. Ward and other co-labor-
ers. in view of the immensity of the in
surance business nowadays. that this sub
ject was justified and called for, and the
cooperation of some of the larger COM
panies was enlisted who were able to
promise Yale a yearly subscription that
would defray the cost of instruction. and
that would also provide a series of lec-
lures by the best insurance men in the
country. The matter was considered by
that it did not seem feasible to institute
such a course until fund had been es-
tabished to guarantee its permanence as
part of uhe curriculum.

a part or the whole of it's claim. AS the
chances of a separate bid on the Kansas
Pacific are considered remote, the prices
of the consol skies rallied per cent and
closed at 90. Trading in Union Pacific
absorbed over quarter of the total sales
of all stocks. Outside of the grangers,
Sugar. Chicago Gas and Bay State Gas,
business was of very small proportions.
The tone of the market was strong, how
ever, and material recoveries from yester-
days declines, averaging about point
in the grangers and other leading stocks.
Bay State Gas was weak. A decline in rates
for call money and some very favorable
statements of railroad earnings for the
third week in October assisted in the re-
covery. Dealings in railroad bonds were
not large, but the tone was firm with the
exceptions of the Kansas Pacific bonds
above noted. Total sales, 81, ,15O, 900. United
states new fours were advanced Is bid.

The stock market opened dull, closed

dear at the settlement because of the gem
eral rise in interest but the account was
quite moderate. Contangoes on American
stocks were about Az per cent. although
lenders at one time tried to exact more.
In spite of the lowness of money and
possible rise in the Bank of England's dis
count rate this week, the outlook for the
