IH.—At the opening the wheat market looked for about two minutes as If lt might rule firm for the day, but quickly faced about and became weak. May wheat opened with buyers at 53 l £c and some sales at the same tiraeat 53 :i ,£". Be (Or b 45 minutes of the session had gone it was down to 63*40. The weakness was the outcome of the increase in the receipts at primary markets this week, leading io the belief that the previous falling off of ths market was the result of severe weather and not of any aearcisy of wheat In creasing the primary market receipts; the quite moderate export clearances were like wise matters of discouragement. Bradstreet's statement of weekly clearances of wheat and flour from both coasts showed a total of 5,572, -000 bushels this week, of which 1,150,000 bushels went from tho Pacific aide. The west ern primary market receipts were a totai of V 7,000 bushels against 2.14.000 on the similar day of last year. Export clearances from the Atlantic seaboard for the twenty-four hours in wheat ami flour together wtis 221,000 bushels The feature of tho trading was the freedom of the selling. Long wheat, came out first in large quantities and that encouraged the scalp ing crowd to add to their offerings, thus swell'ng quantity for sale loan extent which caused a further break to The latter pr.Ce was touched about ten minutes from the Oloseaiul was virtually un recovered, the latest tr idl ng being at 52 : i^c. < orn dropped Into its natural secondary position today and hocamo weak in sympathy wnii wheat.

There is no bright lining to the cloud of low prices, but experienced people know that the old Baying of being darkest before dawn is. applicable also to prices in the grain market Wheat is within i«c of the lowest price on record and must go higher. We are bulls on w heat, and believe consistently that wheat be low tiuc a bushel Is cheap enough for even tho man who buys it to sell again. lv corn, from the receipts, one would judge that corn and hogs were the only things left to the farmer to sell to get money for his necessa ries. Corn and hogs are being rushed to the market with freedom, which argues much lighter receipts in the spring. OKtOAOO MARKET... Opened. High. Low. Closed. Wheat, cash . «»>(, May 531f 53»j!

CALIFORNIA WINES The General Trade Shows Some Signs of Improvement | The California wine trade, which has for a year or more past been greatly depressed, is ! showing some signs of revival. The wine trust, recently organized, seems to be succeed ing in the purpose for which it was formed, namely, forcing higher prices for the product. The Association of Califmnia Wine Growers, I now controlling the market for California vin ] tages, recently sold 1,00J,000 gallons of new j wines at 12? a cents and has since advance I the price to 15 cents, at which rate It lias several order - for large quantities. The New York commercial Bulletin of Feb ruary titb, speaks thus of trade : In ad 11 Hon to the auction sales of California wine, which I were Inaugurated by Sgobel & Day last Sep tember and continued at regulf.r intervals since that time, they have now arranged to sell flue California brandy lv the same manner, an i tho tirst sale at auction will tuke place on Thursday of this week f when, under their in structions. Wood row <k lewis wll sell fi f y bar rrlsof Zinfandel fifty barrels of port ant | thirty barrels and forty half-barrels of prime j old brandy 11892 . j The sale of brandy ot unreserved auction is I a new departure, but the owners in California i have faith that as the auction sales of wine j have i een satisfactory there is no reason why : brandy should not De handle! iv the same i manner. It. Is true that prices obtained iv the \ past for the wine have not equalled the prices I asked by jobbers here, bnt as business in creases the difference between same wiil doubtless be lessened, as the buyer." become m re accustomed to the auction system of dis | posing of these goods. i The fretjiht rates from San Francisco have | been advanced, so that it OOStS several i cuts : per gallon more freight ou all wine than it , has cost previously, aud buyers here will be ; quick to take advantage ol the p eseut ofler i»gs.

MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS Another Big Increase in Local Bank Clearings TRANSFER OF COUNTY FUNDS The Couiu> Treasurer Issues a Call lor Outstanding Bonds Speculation In Wall Street -Activity In Government Bonds-A Review ot the Week's Business Los Anuei.es, Feb. 10. The week just closed, thong i fraught with anxiety, on account of the unsettled condi tion of the national finances, was eminently satisfactory so far ss local business was con cerned. Tiie Innk clearings were heavier than usual, Kb owing an increase of 33.1 per cent over the eorrcsp mding week of last year. Kvery hthg is running along smoothly in banking circles, the only diversion during the week from the usual routine being a little sijiiabble over tbe division i f the county funds among the banks This appears to have been only Li question letween the County Treasurer Ihd hisbondsmen, the banks furnishing the largest part of his security naturally claimi-g the rlgh' to dictate where the funds shall be deposited. The result WSJ a reapportionment, $197,00 > being removed from the vaults of one bank and deposited In another. As in transactions involving tho handling of Uttdi large sums of money there are usually | wh' els within wh eU, so in th s case there are compile *tions —oil of a st'letly personal na ture, however —whic'. do not ft'pear on the surface. Ail the public know-is that the funds ; left a safe place of deposit and found lodgment I iv another of most unquestioned soundness; and there public int rest ends. ( IAS public funds constitute ft special deposit, and must be kept separate from the other funds of th • bank, and cannot hs used in ordinary business transactions, theyareofno parttou ar value to the institution that is honored Witt, their keeping. Therefore the withdraws! of of such moneys, iv ever so large sums, does ! not impair the capital of the bank deprived of 1 them. Ju ■■lew of these facts, the public funds are safe, as ihey were before, tho Treasurer is at pesos with his bondsmen, and the banks go on In the even tenor of their way.

About 11; 0 here was a slUht re- but in the final trading the market was /liriu and closed in goo I tone, tho greater part j of the shares dealt In being higher on j the day. ; Speculation was restricted in the early part [of the week, As but little hope was enter -1 tamed of Congressional relief to the financial situation, the defeat of the bond bill merely j added sjlgatly to the existing depression. An- I other factor of weakness was the unfavorable reports of railroad earnings, notably the ' granger roads. The re-pub ication of the j terms of tho Government loan, and that it had i sold its 4 per cent bonds to tha Belmont-Mor- I gaii syndicate had a good effect. The require- I meut which provided for the importation of i gold from from Europe, and that which re* | quired its best efforts to prevent the with drawal ofgold from the treasury, were looked upon as very favorablo to the market. The bears attempted to exaggerate the importance of purchases of some gold in tho open market, the buyers paying a commission of Hvfi P** cent to bullion brokers. But the effort to cre ate a scare on the gold premium waa ineffect ive. Northwest was a feature of the share specu lation throughout the week aud suffered from heavy liquidation. Tobacco was forced down "i x i. The primary cause of the break was a rumor to the effect that an Insider was selling the stock. In the latter pirt of the week there were evidences of inside buying, which result ed in a rally ol 4' v Street gossip to the effect that the affairs of the United States Cordage would soon be transferred so the care of receiv ern resulted in a slump in the stock. The closing trades of the week disclose a de mand for Cordage stocks, and they are marked up i% BJg snd 14t«j respectively, the net losses being only % for the common, 1 for the pre ferred and % for tha guaranteed. Sugar, while most prominent In the trading, moved within comparatively narrow limit*. The aggregate sales of the week were 800.300 shares. The general bond market today was firm but dull, the sales aggregating $:tOli,olo. Trading during the week was extremely uninteresting, final sales for the most part being below those of a week ago. Governments showed more activity than for some time past, the combined sales aggre gating $080,000, The 5s show an advance of % and the 4s oi per cent which is due to the high bids mado for ihe new 4 percent loan taken by the syndicate.

L .lowland, one ol the leading olive crow en of Pomona gives the following .iuieresti ng description of the -ocalled manufac ure of olive oil, In the I cbr itry uombtr ol tho California Cultivator: Olive oil is not inanufactnre 1 but is devel oped In the olive ai it rlpotM, fr.>m whi:di tt is extracted as follow s : When the olives have turned to a dark red or black, they hay ■ atttt ciently ripened lo pic*. They are gr.tliere I ai follows; A lurf i canvas, which is slit t<> the ceuter, is sp cad on the ground around the tree; the pickers have a sic;. <!nm;frOti their shoulders, the mouth k. a |,t byalialf barrel hoop se.vn into it* top, th 1 ; ends resting against the breast of tue picker Witu bis left hand he holdt tho brane i to keep it from breaking, aud wit i his ri lit strip- th i bcrrlos off Into the sack | so ne fall on tho o*9 rat, from where they are fathered up a.i 1 poured into baskets. Thoollvei are now spread on trays aud allowed lo dry until they cum in nee to thrive]: then they are put into a iron lias n within wliicu revolve two Urge vertical lro:i wheels which work tne olives into a li..c pulp without cm 'Mil* the pt s. The p ilp is then put into ru h aa k , which are piled up In the press and »vi j - ted to a slow pressure. The oil ami water i odd tue palp, ax lt runs from the press, is collected in tin receptacles from teuton the oil is skimmed off, put tn .arge tin tanks and allowed to stand for several weeks lo clarify. Theu it is tillered by straining ttmnwh white lille- papers which aic put into a lot of the funnels set in th'd top of a large tank in which the oil is col lected. The oil is drawn irom tho tank, put into bottles and is now icady for the market. The press which I use is a powerful hydraulic press, made especially for me, and gives a pressure of several hundred tons. All our ma . hinery is run by a gasoline engine, and so managed that by moving a lever a part or all the machinery will run without using any hand labor. After the pulp is pressed once it is dumped into a Urge tin-lined bin and after war, m put into tho grinder and reground, pits and all.which makes a second grade oil,which we do not put up in glass. The pressure ot tne press must be very g adnal arid slow. The pressure Ib put on and theh stopped, and the oil allowed to drip out of the pomace: then a little more pressure is used, and so on till the oil has been nressed out of the pomace. For a small plain for making oiiveoil anyone could uae one of the portable cider mills, which cost about $25. and from that ihey could put in as expensive machinery as they pleased. There is no secret in making olive oil, and any one can do it who has common sense. Kvery thing must be kept very clean, and all the ma chinery end everything which comes in con tact with the oil and pulp should be washed with hot water every day while you are mak ing oil. The oil must be kept in a cool place and from the sunlight. RUPTURE Children Cured in 10 to 14 days. Adults Cured in 1 to 3 months.
