 The close of 1903 sees oil industry in much better shape than year ago. Output (including Kern county) is nearly double that of 1902. Better prices have been paid averaging gen erally 50 to 60 per cent. higher and capital evidences increased confidence in commercial possibilities of devel- oping and marketing California oil.
 Value of manufactured products of section estimated one-third greater than in 1902. Increase is especially reported in mining and oil machinery and supplies providing for structural work As the most important new en- terprise of the year may be men, toned the establishing of the model manufacturing town of Dolgeville in San Gabriel Valley. The plant is well advanced toward completion. The company expect to turn out first samples of felt in March
 Growth and development has been general throughout Southern Califor- mia. It has been the most prosper out period of construction ever known in history of section.

 The delay in rainfall is now causing some anxiety which, however, is not evidenced in trade conditions. Late rains means more to the.

R. G. DUN'S MONTHLY REVIEW
Ct Trade Conditions in the South
west

product of agricultural and horticul- tural industry has total yield rec ord above. average and from all but citrus fruits price returns have been satisfactory
 Cereal yield of section reached g. 00COoO centals of ba.ley, 1,4OO,OO0 centals of wheat, 150000 centals of oats, 100000 centals of corn. Wheat and barley crop each doubled the out put of last year and prices ranged from 25 toH50 per cent. higher. Hay cut about 'S2O,OOO tons. The price which averaged about $1O early in season has gone slIyward, fancy barley now bringing ST.
 The result of cagar campaign is given as S5,O0O,OOO pounds. '',-T ''-,|
 Bean growers harvested 2e,000 more acres than in 1902. About one-half the crop has been shipped. Prices weak ened at opening of season, but are now firm at 3R cents and tending up- ward, output about one-third more than crop of 1902. llft..,
 Cured fruit crops have not been large and with exception of prunes and raisins are practically cleaned up. There has been an absence of specu- lation in market and prices have ruled low considering shortage in some lines Eastern demand has at no time been more than fair and European demand has largely assisted in keeping pres ent prices. Output does not differ materially from last year, estimated about 750 carloads dried fruit and raisins For canned fruit and vege- tables the season has been exceptional Demand has been unprecedented, prices materially higher than 1902. Packers generally report closely sold up and out of many lines.
 Home market for vegetables and fruit is estimated $3,OOO,OOO for year 250O carloads of vegetables had been shipped to October 1st, realizing $650- 900 gross. Since then the celery has been going forward about 1900 car loads of this vegetable will be mar keted.
 The seasons vintage will not reach early estimates. It is doubtful if Southern California wine and brandy output will exceed that of year pre- vious. Growers received 25 to 50 per cent. less returns from grapes.
 Walnut Association sent forward 800 carloads of walnuts, two-thirds of yield of 1902. These have all gone into consumption, netting growers about cents per lb., higher than any other season.
 Honey yield is 10 cars against 1S3 in 1902. Prices have ruled i cent to 11s cents higher.
 Olive yield is largest in history of business, about 5000 tons. Active demand for California olive oil has tended to decrease proportion for pickling purposes.
 The feature of citrus fruit industry of year just closed was the organiza. tion of California Fruit Agency. This organization seems to meet require ments of the grower, but eastern re- ceivers are showing considerable oppo- sition to methods. The new crop is reported in excellent condition and is beginning to move out freely, re- spending to better demand. Competi tiOn of F1Orida and Taroaioo oropoae
