The Investment Board, the new stock and
bond exchange Of San Francisco, opened
Its doors for business the I'd inst. The
board room is located in the Alliance
building, 416 California street.
Speeches were made by A. r. II. Schmidt,
Arthur Scrivener L. e. Shotwell and q
number OF prominent brokers and capital
lists. 1t was stated that the new board was
called into existence as an absolute neces-
sity for the investing and trading COM
munity In bonds and local securities, with
the object of bringing the trade and in
vestors closer together by reducing COM
missions and allowing the trader to buy
and sell on smaller margins.
Not only is the tobacco market high, ac-
cording to Bradstreet's, but current ten
denotes justify even greater advances in
the near future. This is not as satisfac-
tory a situation as could be desired, ow-
ing to the fact that a main factor in the
situation is the partial failure OF the last
seed leaf crop and the deficiency in Ken
lucky tobaccos. The effect of this has,
however, been intensified by the increased
use Of domestic tobacco in the place of the
imported leaf, of which the Cuban war has
cut Off the supply. Not only has the imme-
diate consumption of Havana tobacco de-

The fire insurance companies are paying
no attention to the notice from the State
Insurance Department of the annulment
Of their bonds. They have been advised,
according to the San Francisco Chronicle,
by the attorneys of the Board Of Fire
Underwriters. of which most Of them are
members, that the bonds on file. being In
the form provided for by the Insurance
Department. and having been accepted by
1t, are sufficient and valid. knowledge of
this ignoring of his order has not yet come
officially to the commissioner but, as An
drew ]. Clunie, he Is well aware of the
act. Under his view of the matter each
OF the agents Of the companies now writing
business is guilty of a msdemeanor, but
he has not yet decided upon his course. He
has, however, under consideration the
matter of calling the attention of
the district attorneys throughout the
state, and especially of District At
torney Barnes, to the matter, in
order that arrests and prosecutions may
follow. This is the ground on which the
attorneys of the insurance companies de-
sire to give battle.

The Bankers Alliance, Los Angeles
life insurance company, has failed, ow-
ing $4,000 in accrued death claims. 1t is
the usual story-a lot of dignified business
men as directors, who knew nothing about

their names to be used in the buncoing of
a lot of poor people. When will the ave-
rage business man learn better?-Oakland

Thomas Magee & Sons Real Estate cir
cular says as follows relative to the pres
ent condition Of business in San Fran
cisco:
The real estate market continues dull.
It is not In condition to have sales OF
ordinary property forced. If they are
forced, the result will be low prices. There
continues and win continue to be good de-
mand for inside, paying properties. No
other class Of property is asked for, ex-
cept by those wanting special sites for
actual use The best Pacific Heights prop
srty, on the north side of the streets, and
with panoramic bay views which can not
be shut off, maintains its price. No other
class of strictly residence property does.
Wholesale properties are not asked for;
neither are manufacturing sites, except at
greatly reduced prices.
The same authority also says as to tho
market for loans:
Money is piling up rapidly in the vaults
OF the savings banks, in some cases in
larger sums than at any time before in
their history at the same season of the
year. There is no change in rates, 6h to
2 per cent per annum (about 4.sO to $40
neD being the ruling rates here. A few
choice country loans are being made at tx
per year gross, about per cent net.

will be read with interest by every
resident of this county: $3.50 - -
Word has been received here of tie
death of Charles Thomas Stearns, who
died at New Orleans, May I'D, at the
advanced age of 81 years. The news,
though a little late, has created gen.
uine regret among the older, inhabi-
tants of st. Cloud, for Mr.. Stearns
was one of the best known early set
tiers of this section, and Stearns
county, of which St. Cloud is the
county seat, was named after this VEN
cradle gentleman. He built the
Stearns house, one of st. Clouds
earliest hotels, which later served for
many years as the ladies' home of the
state Normal school, and until q few
years ago stood on the bank of the
Mississippi as landmark of pioneer
days, being finally torn down and
moved away. Mr.. Stearns was the
last surviving member of the founders
of the grand lodge of Free and Ac-
cepted Masons in this state, and the
first worshipful master of No. 15 the
ancestor of North Star lodge, A. F.
and A. NJ, this city. He was made a
Master Mason April 3, 1852, in Cata-
ract lodge, St. Anthony Falls. Up to
q very few years ago Mr.. Stearns,
enjoyed excellent health for man of
his advanced years.

Weekly Crop Bulletin

The following is the, official bulletin
for the week ending Monday, June
18th, 1898:
The first and last parts of the week
were warmer than the middle part.
The were showers on the 9th, 10th and
18th, pretty we'll distributed, but
heavier and more general in the south
ern half of the state where the soil was
already fully supplied with moisture,
SO that there, complaints are made
that the soil is SO wet that cultivation
is retarded, and that low lands are
either saturated or flooded. In the
northern half, the rainfall has been
light, and the soil is in excellent con-
dition. Wheat, oats and barley have
grown vigorously, and are very heavy.
In rich soils they are lodging, and
some farmers are moving the lodged
places to check the growth. Rust is
appearing in the wheat and barley in
scattered places, especially the low
lands, and unless dry weather comes
on, considerable loss by lodging and
rust is anticipated. Winter wheat is
fine, and it is headed out. Barley is
beginning to head in southern coun-
ties. Rye is past the blossom stage.
Flax seeding continues in the northern
counties, further south it is growing
well. Corn and potatoes growing rap
idly and with a good stand. In large
portions of the south cultivation has
been prevented by wet weather. In
the north the hay prospect is not so
good as in the south, where there will
be a.large crop. In souther n counties,
clover is in bloom and timothy is
heading. Strawberries are being
marketed from Wabasha county, and
further north the general crop will be
ripe.by the 10th.
Dougias CountY.-The weather has
been very favorable, and all crops
have grown rapidly. Some fields are
lodging. Flax looks we'll, as does al
SO the corn.
Stearns.-A cloudy and rainy week.
The cultivation of corn was prevented
by too much moisture. Potatoes just
being cultivated.
