BUMPER CROPS
IN CALIFORNIA
APRIL REVIEW BY DUN & co.
OF TRADE CONDITIONS
Deelduous Fruits Maturing Rapidly
Big Celery season-Largest Or
anue Crop in the History Of
the Golden state

The following review Of trade con-
ditions in California for the month of
April Is submitted by Dun & Co.'S
commercial agency:
California grain crop is growing un-
interruptedly and promises an excel
lent yield. The deciduous fruits are
maturing rapidly. Pear crop Will be
very heavy, prunes and peaches good
average, apricots light. Gamers are
contracting peaches at $40 per ton.
Vineyards are in unusually good con-
dition and the beet and bean fields hold
bumper crops. The destruction Of the
sugar factory at Salinas will necessi-
tate longer campaigns at adjacent
plants, as product of tributary fields
will have to be transported. The con-
ditions for dairy products were never
better Southern California has just
closed the celery season, netting $780,
600 to growers and is now busy market
ing her citrus crop which, conserva-
lively estimated, will net orchardistS
SIS, 900, 900. The oil wells are still flow
ing and not pay streak lost In the
mining districts.
San Francisco's business section is
destroyed, but the same conditions that
made her the greatest city on the Pa
cific coast remain and will cause the
rebuilding just as quickly as structural
material can be brought to the cleared
ground Commercial centers do not
come haphazard but are forced by To-
cation. San Francisco is a city that
has built many large fortunes. At last
report the resources of her banks to-
tailed more than $400, 100000. Vaults
remain intact. Property records were
not destroyed Fire insurance losses
aggregating more than s100000000 will
be paid. The commissioners have the
situation well in hand. Banks are
open for emergency payments and
money is beginning to move in the
city. AS soon as rebuilding of the
city is financed, either with aid of ma
tional government or by private finan-
ciers, there will be a large influx of
capital and the labor supply will be
drawn on heavily all over the United
States. Every factory in the state Will
be working full capacity and all job
bing and retail trades forced to activ-
ity. Pacific coast securities will be
temporarily weakened, but 1t will ne
a good time to buy. There can be no
permanent setback to any part of the
state.
Southern California interests
In Southern California interest CEN
ters just now in orange crop The re-
turns are the largest in history of in
dustry. The market is strong. Less
than 1000 navels remain and shipments
begin to run largely to sweets and
seedlings. Valencia prospects look
good. They will begin to go forward
rapidly the first of June. Buyers are
now finding nothing under cents and
some growers are holding for cents.
Estimated crop, $500 carloads Lemons
are slow at 1925 to s240 f. o. b. for
choice. Not likely to be much advance
until summer months.
Cured fruit market is firm and ad-
vancing all along the line. Peaches

LONG BEACH

The last week in realty circles has
developed the fact that the damage at
San francisco has done no harm to the
real estate business in this city. Al
ready there are investors here from the
stricke ncity of the north, preparing to
make purchases through Pitts y pes
mond They state that the outlook here
was never brighter and that the deals
will be closed with the men from San
Francisco as soon as the insurance
money is paid.
Many deals have been closed. Some
buy for speculation and others but for
the purpose of erecting homes. The
building inspectors office is kept busy
in looking after the building permits
and the air Is filled with rumors OF
many large buildings.
Among the deals are the following:
L. S. Barnes e Co. of ocean avenue,
acted as agents In the transfer of prop
erty on West Second street from Mrs.
Henshaw to Charles e. W. Moore and
Robert Foster, two residents of Long
Beach. They will erect an apartment
house to cost $4,000. The price paid
for the lots was $4,000.
Ten Lots Bought
A deal was closed Thursday morning
by Frank Black of Seattle through
Frank Shaw of this city for ten lots in
the Belmont Heights tract. Mr.. Black
is one of the stockholders In the Seat
tie Hardware company.
An amusing incident occurred this
week. one of the after effects of the
San Francisco fire. 1t showed what
local men thought of property in this
city. An Iowa party owned lots in
Alamitos and when the false reports of
the destruction here reached him he
telegraphed to a friend in this city
ordering the sale of his property at a
sacrifice. This friend inadvisedly spoke
of his orders and the hearer scenting a
profit started for Iowa to buy the land
in question. The agent then woke up
and started after him, being only twelve
hours late. Now real estate dealers are
watching the race with a great deal of
interest. No word has reached here of
the outcome as yet.
Heavy Investments Expected
One Of the announcements that caused
quite furry in the local market dur
ing the week was that made by c. E.
Green, secretary of Crocker estate, who
telegraphed to friends here saying that
the interests which he represented
would invest large amounts in Long
Beach realty.
Another announcement causing fully
as much stir is that made by the local
lodge of Elks. They are now contem-
plating the erection of an office build
ing in the city to cost 100000. 1t will
be used for lodge rooms, offices, store
rooms, with probably a theater on the
second floor. Oscar Kerridge of Chi
cago, a noted theatrical architect, is
already preparing plans for the build
ing and will submit them to the Elks.
One big tract was placed on the mar
ket Tuesday by the acknowledgement
company. 1t is called the Sea Bright
tract and consists of choice lots north
of Anaheim and west of Oregon ave-
nue.. 1t is situated between the West
moreland and Inner Harbor tracts and
was laid off in town lots during the
boom of the eighties.
