BULLETIN OF PROGRESS 



PUBLISHED BY 



'he California Promotion Committee 



AUGUST 31. 1907 



ALIFORNIA'S harvest has been in full tide during the 

 month of August, and reports received by The California 

 Promotion Committee from all parts of the State indicate 

 that producers are getting splendid returns from crops. In 

 few lines crop shortages are noticed, but increased demand and 

 high prices more than make up the deficiency. During the month 

 more than four thousand car loads of green fruit were shipped 

 liom the State. Grapes have been especially good, and high prices 

 for all classes have prevailed. 



Building operations throughout the State have been active, 

 .111(1 include many new school houses and factories in all parts of the 

 interior. This increased building is especially noticeable in larger 

 cities and towns. In San Francisco conditions in building have 

 1)1 en mantained on a par with that of several months past. 



Reports from many points show that electrical railway con- 

 struction is progressing rapidly in all directions, and much new 

 i.rritory is being brought into close communication with the mar- 

 kets. In connection with this there is greatly increased demand for 

 mil farms, with consequent additional subdivision of large tracts. 

 Reports received from the East indicate that there will be 

 savy immigration during the coming Colonist season, commenc- 

 ig September 1st. It is noted by eastern representatives of the 

 /ommittee that inquiries about California have greatly increased 

 comparison with those preceding similar seasons. 



Demand for labor throughout the State continues. In San 

 rancisco the demand in the Building Trades is at present supplied 

 ith the exception of latherers, plasterers, plumbers and stair 

 lilders.
