REVIEW AND OUTLOOK. 
BEANS.—Trade is active, and all grades 
of white beans are firm. The receipts of 
new beans are light, and just at present 
the demand exceeds the offerings. Choice 
marrows are selling at $2.50 per bushel, and 
exporters are taking red kidneys at $2.30. 
THE BUTTER MARKET has improved. 
The price remains the same as at last re¬ 
port, but the tone of trade is much firmer, 
and table grades of extra quality are taken 
about as fast as offered. There is a good 
inquiry for firsts at 20 to 20% cents. Sec¬ 
onds and thirds, State dairy and imitation 
creamery are only barely steady. 
POULTRY.—The market for live poultry 
is weak. The receipts have been excessive, 
and there is no very good prospect of mak¬ 
ing a clearance of the stock on hand this 
week. In dressed poultry, fancy Spring 
turkeys are scarce and would sell at prices 
exceeding quotations. Considerable of the 
stock received early this week was slippery 
and in bad condition, owing to the warm 
weather. 
LIVE STOCK.—Receipts for week end¬ 
ing October 11 were: 11,632 cattle, 232 cows, 
5,187 calves, 47,298 sheep, and 31,024 hogs. 
Steers sold at $4.75 to $5.70; bulls, $2.50 to 
$3.75; cows, $1.50 to $3.75. Milch cows with 
calves brought $30 to $55. Veal calves sold 
at $4.50 to $8.50; little calves, $3.50 to $4.50; 
and grassers, $2 to $3. Sheep were lower, 
common to choice selling at $3 to $4.37%; 
and lambs, $4.75 to $6.12%, with a few extra 
at $6.30. _

the western bank of the Sacramento River for 15 
miles. It Is located in a region that has neverlacked 
an ample rainfall, and no irrigation is required. 
The river is navigable at all seasons of the year, 
and freight and trading boats make regular trips. 
The closest personal inspection of the land by pro¬ 
posed purchasers is invited. Parties desiring to look 
at the land should go to Chico, California.

subdivisions and prices per acre, address personal!
