Business

I POMONA, May 26.-G. H. Waters of the
Pomona cannery mas just returned from
a trip through the east in the interests of
that concern and while he has not placed
the entire prospective output of the can
merry for the coming season, a sufficient
market to insure a successful run has
been secured. Mr.. Waters expressed him.
self as well satisfied with the outlook for
the disposing of the deciduous fruit output
for the coming season Notwithstanding
that there are large crops throughout the
east and a considerable amount of last
years pack yet in the market. He believes
that the generally improved conditions of
trade will materially help California this
year. From a general observation he says
that the deciduous fruit output of this val
ley will not be exceptionally large, with
apricots only fair crop, cling peaches
rather a large crop, free stones an excep-
tionally large crop and from third to a
half crop of prunes. With favorable
weather the apricot season will commence
about the middle of June.

From the city clerks report we find that
the total receipts for the past year
amounted to $45, ,941.i3 and the expenditures
$3S,817.0S, leaving balance on hand of
$112465. The net receipts are about $1,000
in excess of the year previous and the ex-
penditures about $4,000 in excess. The ex-
cess in expenditures is chiefly accounted
for in the street and sprinkling accounts
which for 1867 were s273O.36 and $2446. 10, re-
spectively and for 1878 $73S9. 81 and $3429 so,
respectively. In other instances the ex-
cess of expenditures in the various items
about balance the amount paid for the
park in the 1867 account. When the great

tainly warranted.

The emergency fund, amounting to $211 rs,
was today forwarded to a committee of
Company D by Postmaster Hill, who was
the treasurer. The following are the
amounts by towns: Chino, $25; Azusa,

A telephone message was received from
the chamber of commerce of Los Angeles
calling for fruit for the Seventh regiment
to be sent free to San Francisco. AS the
fruit had to be shipped from here today
and as little or no shipping or packing is
now going on 1t was practically impossible
to comply with the request as the owners
would have to be seen and the fruit picked
and hauled in. This condition Of affairs
is regretted.
