THE NEWARK.
The Warship Safe, but Evidently
Had a Marrow Escape.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The fol-
lowing cablegram has been received at
the Navy Department from the COM
mander Of the Newark:
Castro (Chile), June 12-The Secre-
tary Navy, Washington: The Newark
arrival at Gautes Island in want of
COAL Am making arrangements for
supply to be sent from Ancud, Chile.
Expected to sail within fewadays.
GOODRICH"
1t is evident to officials here that the
Newark had a narrow escape. Had
she been driven southwark past the en-
trance to the straits by the storm wi h
her lack Of coal. she might have been
forced clear into the Antarctic regions
This experience Of the Newark mas
served to call attention again to the
great risk assumed in depriving war
vessels OF all sail power. The irnme-
diate effect of the Newalaxs experience
may be to cause the final abandonment
OF the original plan to send ner from
Valparaiso straight across the Pacific
to Apia. Samoa, and it is probable that
if the Newark is sent to Apia. she will
not go direct from Valparaiso, but will
find some land port on the west side
&c the continent much nearer Apia.

The local wheat market was firmer,
Call Board prices rising in sympathy with
an upward market in Chicago and spot

sacks choice white feed was made at
$1.47la per Genital. Corn was steady. Re-
ceipts were 1,630 centals, including 1,2OO
centals Eastern.
Receipts of hay to-day amounted to 337
tons. The market is fairly steady. Prices
for new hay for the time being are well
maintained. Bran and middlings have had
an easier tone during the past. few days.
Receipts of bran to-day were 1.775 sacks,
and of middlings 800 sacks Rolled barley
is easier.
The market was glutted with peaches

excessively large and many lots were in
poor condition. Some of the sales on the

In dried fruits on spot there is light
local jobbing demand at full quotations.
Prunes are weaker. Evaporated apples
have been extremely scarce, but a car

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-The fol-

crop conditions existing in California
curing the past week has been pre-
pared by the Department. Of Agricul-
ture:
In the Sacramento and San Joaquin
Valleys the temperature has averaged
from five TO ten degrees above normal
for the week while on the coas., and in
Southern California it has been nor
NAL or slightly below. Light show
eus occurred in the extreme south the
morning Of the 18th; elsewhere no rain
fell during the week. The warm wealth
er was not accompanied by northers,
and was therefore beneficial to al grow
ing crops. Wheat is ripening rapidly,
.pd will soon be ready for harvest. In
some sections barley harvesting has
commenced, the yield and quality are
good. Haying is nearly completed.
Deciduous fruits are being gathered; !;
peaches are yielding a very large crop
of good quality. In some sections april
cots are more plentiful than had been
estimated. Grapes were benefited by
favorable conditions during the week,
and promise a good crop. Citrus
fruits and walnuts are in good condi-
tion.
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
LOS ANGELES, June 13.-The week.
ly summary of weather and crop con-
ditions for Southern California shows
that the growing crops as Il whole are
in an extremely satisfactory condition
The only unfavorable feature seems to
be the condition of hay. This crop,
according to the data supplied, will
average half crop. In Los Angeles
County the fourth crop Of alfalfa is
being cut. The development Of water
continues in most sections.
The week was cool and cloudy, with
morning fogs. Occasional showers of
rain occurred which We're too light to
be of benefit The cool, foggy wealth
er was generally beneficial for beans,
beets and corn.
