The market for the staple continues uneven,
yet in thisrcspcctwccaiiuotdiscovcr.iuy weak
spot, although some paitica who hold dear
wools will piobably dissent from our iews.
This wo cannot help. On all wools brought
early in the season without disiiiiniuation,
uch as California, Texas, hako and Territory,
there is a heavy losa of fiom 2c. to 7c. n pound
right straight along, and thu same ia to some
extent true of lino Western lleecca, which
were liought beforo thoy wero grown or ahorn
olf the sheep. This loss Is felt all round, but
it falls heaviest on apeculators. Nor nro dea
lers or manufacturers exempt from heavy los
ses in some instances. This uneven range of
prices runs right through thu markets still.
H'e auppoae lino lleecca eau bu bought chcaiier
in New York and llostou to-day than in Ohio
or Indiana, and as for Texas and California
wools it takes a keen expert to purchase tlicin
wltli any iirarca of safety. Hnrliig lex as
wools uru selling below thu Fall clip, and no
ono can tell within several cents n pound
which is thu cheapest until thu wools are
scoured clean. The improvement noticed last
week is sustained here, and ia now mora sensi

California, wlicm sellers have put their prices
from lo. to 2c. n pound.

transactions of note at that Itguro, but munu
wheat changed hands at $l.4Hj for a very
dealrablo lot, Tho general report is that no
wheat ia ndling nt rates nllcrcd. Its not easy
to predict what may happen in the F.ngliih
market. It ia liable to drop at any moment
if supplies are abundant, but seems to lie held
up at present by alou ness of American w heat
growers to accept current rates. Shipments
from this coast aro far behind last ) car at the
umo time, and the samu ia true of shipment
from Atlantic ports. Should America liecomo
free exporterwomay look for depression in thu
foreign nuikot, which is not likely to be thu
case with continuance of low price. Pro
ducers seem inclined to bold a they always
do when pricts aro below their ideas. All

that tonnage will be plentiful on the coast Imi

It will bo seen that while foreign quotations

howi the feeling ia not spasmodic but earliest.

At the last session of Congress there was
appropriated the sum of $.1,000 for develop
ment of the arid legions of tho United .States.
These regions llo generally between tho IV
cilie coast and the one hundredth degree
of west longitude, and aro constituted orjnado
up of the territory having nn average rainfall
too small to support'profitablo cultivation of
thu soil without artificial irrigation. Aa we
aru informed, tho law making such appropria
tion tloes not provide any machinery or
medium through which the money shall be ex
pended, or jioint out any way for what
special purposes it shall be devoted. Con
gressman Horace Davis, at whoso special in
stance it was appropriated, suggested in his
address before our .Stato Agricultural Society
thu propriety of oll'ering priiea by the Stato
Hoard of Agriculture of California for ctaay
upon those region. The essays set forth
their soils and climates, means of irrigation,
mode of reclamation, etc. Since quite a
largo section of the southern part of our State
come properly within the arid regions, for
tin development of which this money is ap
propriated, tho suggestion seems to lie a very
appropriate and proper one. Congress did
not intend to go iuto remote sections of the
country lioyoud the settlement of civilized
Iieople to expend the money, or any money,
ut to have it expended where it immediate
good will be felt. Au investigation of tho
great question of irrigating the San Joatiuiti
valley would lie a ligitimate subject for in
quiry in connection with the preservation of
our navigable river from destruction from the
overllow of debris from the mine. The noxt
Congress should drect the expenditure of the
appropriation.
