One Explanation.

The explanation advanced to account
for the Western selling was that some
operators liquidated on the theory that
the crop reports as issued by the va
rious State bureaus might have teen
colored to. some extent, and that possi-
bly, the Government report might be
less encouraging than had been fore
casted. AS a matter of fact the Gov
ernment exhibit was about as expected,
and foreshadowed enormous crops of
corn, wheat, and oats, particularly of
corn.
Some observers of the stock market
were inclined to regard the tactics of
the Western spectators as merely
momentary switching over in a sum
mer market, and held that there was no
certainty that they might not reappear
on the bull side as suddenly as they
changed front today.
The volume of dealings was fairly
large. with the greatest activity center
ing in the grangers as a group. Atchi-
son. st. Paul. Union Pacific common and
preferred, and Canadian Pacific sustain
ed net declines of 1AG2 per cent. Nor
folk and Western led the entire list in
activity, and was one of a few excep-
tions in scoring a net gain at a reac-
tion of over point from the highest
price OF the day.

NEW YORK, Aug. n.-ostcnsibly. the
disappointing character of Saturday S
bank statement was the chief factor in
depressing the stock market today. The
rates for money, both on call and on
time, were higher. call money reaching
4 per cent, while time funds rose 10 an
extreme 5 per cent.
1t would appear that the technical po-
sition of the stock market, rather than
the hardening tendency of the money
market. was the main cause of the shift

SAN DIEGO AND EASTERN

There was meeting of the San Di- ego. Eastern railroad committee yes terday, says the San Diego Union, at which there was much felicitation among the members because of the news published yesterday morning in these columns regarding the comple- ton of the survey through to the des- ert, as it was confirmed by Chief En- gineer Richards in another letter written from Imperial on the same day that the letter to the Union from the same place was written. The let ter from Mir, Richards went a little more into details, and besides saying that the road across the mountains would have the best gradients of any road extending out of California, he gave the figures for the entire distance, although the line across the level des- ert has not yet been completed.
 For the first thirty miles out of San Diego the gradient will be per cent, or 42.S feet to the mile. From the S0th to the l2oth mile, which takes the line
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-04-05

WHILE cx-Mayor Carlson of San Diego believes that two railroads con meeting San Diego and Yuma through Imperial are certainties for the near future, and seven are probabilities for later periods, Imperial will feel better to see construction begun oil one of them. San Diego people who have a good idea of what is being done think constructive work will be under way within four months.

Harvest to Begin

The barley crop of A. T. Piath near Calexico will be harvested in about two weeks, The grain is over five feet high, and is maturing rapidly. This will be the first barley crop ever cut in the valley. It is expected to exceed sixty tons for the twenty acres, or over 5000 at present prices. There is but small acreage of grain planted so early, and harvesting will not be general until about a month later.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-04-05

across the divide and onto the desert, the gradient will be IA per cent, or "A feet to the mile. For the balance of the way, which is not yet completed, it is known that no heavy work will be encountered, the gradient will not be more than forty feet to the mile at the outside.
 The letter of Engineer Richards contained some of his impressions of the Imperial country, where he spent part of last Saturday and Sunday. He was greatly impressed with what he saw, and was not backward about say ing that the products of that country would be of such a character and so great that the San ego-Eastern road would prove paying proposition as a railroad from the time it tapped the desert and made rail connection be- tween the bay and the to-be productive country about Imperial, Blue Lake and Calexico.
 When it was found that Engineer Richards could be reached by way of Imperial, Consulting Engineer flaw good of Los Angeles, who has been waiting for a chance to make trip over the line of the survey, was tele- graphed to by the local committee. He was directed 10 proceed to Imperial and to join Mir. Richards; either there or at Blue Lake or Dos Cabesas, as he may be found. If the two meet at Inn perial, it is possible that trip will be made to the other side of the desert valley, to examine the sand hills along the western side of the Colorado river.
 From there the two will return to the eastern end of the survey, wher- ever it may then be, and make care full examination of the line through to San Diego.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-04-05

THE statement ought only to be made in a whisper, but it is being cir culated now as possibility that a part of the $25,0O0,0O0 which the Southern Pacific is to spend in South ern California will be applied to build ing from Yuma to San Diego. Noth- ing ought to be said to frighten the road, which is thought to be very timid.

OvRR 5000 home seekers passed through Minneapolis ell route to the further northwest one day last week. This is day for very general coloni- zation of new lands, and it is a pity that there are not more people who realize what inducements are being offered for settlement in this valley, for even with the rapid strides being made in developing the valley, more could be done.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-04-05

Ir is expected that 33,0oo persons will have come to California on colo nists' tickets this spring by the end of April, an increase of 20 per cent over last year. The Pacific coast is now the objective point of more colonists than any other portion of the country.

given a beautiful and rich staging,
are sung the latest ballads and
