The first crop suffered considerably from mildew and climatic conditions unfavorable to the setting of the grapes. The second crop, however, is large and very good, and altogether the yield is a satisfactory one. The prices have ruled higher than before and raisins in sweatboxes have been contracted for readily at from 5½ to 6½ cents per pound or even higher. Wine grapes dried here sold for 3 to 4 cents per pound, and Malaga and Feherszagos raisins have brought from 4 to 5 cents. No such prosperous year has before been experienced by the raisin men of this State, and reports come in that many growers are realizing from $250 to $450 per acre from vines in full bearing. The weather all through the summer has been unusually temperate and thus very favorable to the full development of the grapes, and so far the drying weather has been very favorable for the proper curing of the raisins. Many new packing houses have been established, and the crop is being better cared for than in previous years. The health and general condition of the vines is better than it was last year and the vine plague is less virulent, and according to some reports even on the retrograde. The demand for the raisin product has never been as large as now and there will apparently be no surplus left over, as the demand is rapidly increasing. The above refers especially to the central part of the State, to Merced, Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties, where the prosperous season will encourage increased planting. In Southern California the crop will be fair both in quality and quantity. In El Cajon valley it is reported as very good, and as being one-half larger than last year. Prices here ruled to begin with at from 4½ to 5 cents but rose rapidly to 5½ and 6 cents in sweatboxes.
