Monterey produced one hundred tons of sorghum sugar cane, valued 

 at eighteen hundred dollars. 



In Santa Barbara County was gathered nearly forty thousand dollars' 

 worth of wild mustard, whilst several other of the southern counties 

 yielded considerable quantities; and it is estimated the aggregate value 

 of this crop alone reached the astounding figures of sixty thousand 

 dollars. 



Monterey County produced twelve thousand seven hundred and forty 

 bushels of English mustard seed, valued at nearly twenty thousand dol- 

 lars. 



Mariposa produced two thousand pounds of mohair from two thousand 

 five hundred Angora goats. 



It may be safely estimated that the aggregate value of the marketable 

 crops of all descriptions of agricultural products during eighteen hun- 

 dred and seventy exceeded the sum of sixty million dollars. This val- 

 uation is not based on export values, but on the prices paid to producers. 



For instance, the value of the fruits sold, according to the table, was 

 only one million three hundred and ten thousand two hundred and sev- 

 enteen dollars; but before the fruit reached the consumer the value had 

 more than quadrupled by expenses of transportation, packages, dealers' 

 profits, and agents' commissions. 



The statistics given in the table pertaining to the County of Napa arc 

 only partial; circumstances beyond the control of the undersigned pre- 

 vented full justice being done in the enumeration of that county. 



Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 



WM. GOUVERNEUR MORRIS, 



United States Marshal.
