Casa Grande Valley
 Products.

Ii has been practically demonf srrated that all the agricultural prod- nets of the temperate zone can be eas-' ilv grown on this land. and the long seasons give a succession of crops that double and even treble the productive value of the land On the lands now cultivated the average yield of wheat is about fifteen hundred pounds and harley eighteen hundred pounds per acre. This grain finds a ready market at from SI25 to $1.5O per hundred pounds. This season barley sold as high as SI.75 per one hundred pounds owing to a largely increased local de mand for it. caused by the employment of a largely increased number of teams in hauling machinery and supplies t" the new mining camps.
 But the most valuable agricultural product here is alfalfa. Alfalfa is the most productive and profitable forage plant in the valley. and produces. un- der different conditions, from one to three tons of hay per acre at each cut ting. and from three to five cuttings per year. After a field of alfalfa is once well established the cost of hay in the stack will be about S2.50 per acre. In exceptional instances as high as four tons of alfalfa hay per acre have been cut. and five or six cuttings made in a single season. but this is more than double the average.
 The grape is especially adapted 10 this soil and climate. where it reaches almost perfection in quality and abun- dance in quantity. Unusual sacchar- inc qualities are developed. which espe- cially adapt them to table use and raisin making. Nearly every variety of grape so far tested grows luxuri- antly in this valley. and it is evident that raisin culture is destined to be- come a prominent industry here when the enlarged and perfected irrigation system shall have been completed. Two crops of grapes grow in a single sea- son when the vines are properly irri gated.
 The fig thrives remarkably well here, bears heavily and stands neglect. From two to three crops are gatherei each season. The trees bear the sec. ond year from cuttings.
 The apricot, peach, nectarine, plum, prune, pear. apple. quince. date, pome- granate. cherry and all the small fruits thrive exceptionally well in the soil and climate of this valley.
 Almonds, English walnuts and pe- cans grow well and yield largely in the Casa Grande valley. Two large almond orchards near Florence have been in bearing for several years and produce

Florence. Ariz., Oct. 1. 1906. Mir J. Ernest Walker,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: I want to tell you some- thing about what my ranch-four and a half miles east of Florence. in Casa Grande valley-raised the past two years. I have owned this ranch of ninety-three acres since 1877, and have lived on it ever since that time. In 1905 l cut 142 tons of alfalfa and grain hay from forty-five acres in enc cut ting. and from thirty-five acres cut 45O sacks of barley. I had forty-five acres in alfalfa and grain hay this year, 1906. and at one cutting cut ninety-two tons. My ranch Is always productive and profitable. What can be done on my ranch can be duplicated anywhere under the canal. in Casa Grande val ley. l wish you every success in your effort to show the people what a fine ranch and fruit country we have in this valley.

the finest grade of soft-shell almonds. The yield is large.
 The olive grows and natures here to perfection. A very large olive orchard near Florence has been yielding large crops for several years past, and these olives are as large and productive of as fine a grade of oil as any olives grown on this continent. The olive tree will stand drought as well as a desert tree. Some of the thriftiest olive trees in the valley have not been irri- gated for several vars past. They have had only the ordinary rain-falls to nourish them.
 Only a few orange trees have been cultivated here, but these have demon strated that this is an ideal locality for orange culture. The fruit is very sweet and juicy and has a thin rind. They are as good as can be grown anywhere.
 The absence of all fogs and nightly dews is a formidable obstacle to the existence of the destructive and un- slightly scale-bug. and the fruits of the valley are all bright and clean.
 The season is somewhat in advance of that of southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated ad- vantage in the early markets.
 But the agricultural and horticultural possibilities of this valley can not be judged by the present meager devel- opments. By a proper utilization of our water resources and complete storage system the valley could be made to support. in luxury. a pOpula- ton of forty thousand people. This Is no Utopian dream. but a practical pos sibility. demonstrated by the figures and deductions set forth in the reports of the government engineers on the San Carlos reservoir proposition.

 YES4ERDAY'S STOCK MARKET
Dominated by the Various Fluctuations
 in St. Paul.

New York, Nov. 15.-The days mar ket was dominated by the various fluc- tuations in St. Paul, and these were SC constant as to keep sentiment on the general market 8 good deal unsettled Sales to realize on the wide advance of the last few days caused an appearance of weakness in St. Paul, to which the whole market responded, and again, when St. Paul was supported and show ed signs of heavy accumulation on a rapidly-rising scale, the whole market turned strong again. This was largely due to the belief among professional l operators that they could read the course of the Standard Oil group of capitalists in the operations in St. Paul and to the eagerness to follow that leadership. The general public was not largely in evidence in the market and seemed timid about attempting to read l the evidence of this supposed leader ship in the speculation.
 
 causes of the St. Paul movement be- yond the reiteration of previous ru- mors. The supposition that subscrip- tion rights to new stock were in view was fostered by the manner in which the rise in the preferred stock kept pace with the common stock, although on nominal dealings. On the other hand the close sympathy in the movements of St. Paul and Southern Pacific was regarded as corroborative of surmises of a closer relation with the Hartman combination of railroad properties.
 The dealings in the general market were duller and the fluctuations mar rower than yesterday, owing to the confusion caused by the varying move- ments in the market leaders. There was some disposition to look for a mo- tive in the occasional heaviness of the market to the inauguration of the gov ernment's prosecution against the Standard Oil company. The stock of the company in the curb market fell sharply some twenty points from the previous days price, following similar declines for several days past but the parcels of shares dealt in were of a size which is not accorded an official quota- tion in the case of any stock when dealt in on the exchange.
 Opinion was confident that conditions in the money market are working to- wards greater ease. The easier tone of money was distinctly perceptible in the time money as well as the call money market to-day, and New York exchange at interior points continued to rise to- day
 The agreement upon plan of curren- cy reform for presentation to congress was cited as a factor in the encourage ment felt in speculative circles. St. Paul rose during the afternoon 21a over last night, and the whole market was very strong at that time, but the clos ing tone became unsettled and irregu- lar again when St. Paul lost all but half of its rise.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales par value $1, 736,O0O
