The Bank Commissioners in their report to the Legislature, dated February 9, 1880, furnish the following information in reference to the banks of this State : Fifty-eight coni- mercial banks and twenty-four savings banks reported their financial condition on the morning of January 1, ISSO, making a total of eighty-two banks. In the previous year there were nine National Gold Banks, and nine private banks of which no report is given. Excluding these, the total resources of all the banks of the State aggregate $122,389,718 01. Money on hand, $15,654,912 12. Due depositors by commercial banks, $29,579,435 28, and by savings banks, $51,864,903 59; total due, $81,444,338 87.

Insurance.
The year 1879 was a fortunate one with California Underwriters. No great conflagrations have occurred to exhaust the treasuries of the Fire Companies, nor losses by sea to wreck the Marine, nor contagion or epidemic to weaken the Life Insurance. There were one hundred and three companies doing business in the State at the close of the year, and three new ones have since been organized. Of the 106 companies, 11 are California companies, and 95 Eastern and foreign. Twelve are Life Insurance Companies. The seven California com- panies doing a general business have a paid up capital of $2,250,000; had risks in force, December 31, 1879, amounting to $60,599,084 86, upon which the premiums were $838, 699. The losses paid for the year were $264,912. The dividends aggregated $324,500. The Cali- fornia Insurance Company paid at the rate of 17 per cent., or $51,000; Commercial, 12 per

The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, whose headquarters are at Sacramento, had 2,130 policies in force at the close of 1879, aggregating $5,760,131, upon which $159,574 in premiums had been paid. In the last year it wrote 631 new policies, insuring $1,845,801, for a premium of $95,378. The ten companies reporting (including the Pacific Mutual), had in force in this State, December 31, 1879, 14,694 policies, insuring $43,569,322 88, for a premium of $1,421, 957 75.
The returns of all the companies doing a fire insurance business in this State may be sum- marized as follows: Seven home companies had, December 31, 1879, $60,599,084 86 risks; $838,699 premiums, and had paid during the year $264,912 losses. Fifty-nine Eastern com- panies, $59,082,215 15 risks ; $964,995 premiums ; $259,838 89 losses. Twenty-four foreign companies, $105,983,539 83 risks ; $1,592,637 21 premiums ; $585,592 68 losses. Doing a marine insurance business, five Callfornia companies wrote during the year, $13,597,037 risks, for $323,154 premiums, and paid $183,740 losses. The twenty-seven Eastern and Foreign companies wrote $61,717,884 risks, for $986,724 premiums, and paid $180,663 losses.
Meteorological Observations made at San Francisco, from Nov., 1850, to Jan. 1880.
BY HENRY GIBBONS, SR., M. D.
In the following tables the reader will find, in a condensed form, the results of twenty- nine years' diligent observation of the climate of San Francisco, with more particular refer- ence to rain.
Rain has fallen in every month of the year. In July it has rained only in two years ; August has furnished rain in five years ; June in eight years ; September in fourteen years ; October in twenty-one years. No account is made of a mere sprinkle, nor of the deposit of summer mist. The greatest quantity of mist which ever falls in twenty-four hours is about three hundredths of an inch. But this quantity is very rare. Near the ocean the mist is much more copious.
The driest season was 1850-51, which gave only seven inches. Next to that was 1863-64, with eight and one-half inches. The winter of 1867-68 gave the most rain-forty inches. The average is between twenty-one and twenty-two inches.
The earliest setting in of the rainy season was October 8 ; the latest, January 12. An early beginning and an abundant supply are apt to go together, but there is no rule in this respect-the latest beginnings have been followed by an average supply.
The average date of the beginning of the rainy season is November 28 ; of the termina- tion, April 10. March is as certain to bring rain in liberal amount as any other month. In one year out of every three there is no rain of importance after March. The last showers of the season come, with remarkable uniformity, about the third week of May.
The middle of Jauuary is the average dividing point of the rainy season. The mean quantity before January 1 is about equal to the mean quantity after January 31.
December gives the greatest average quantity ; January is not far behind ; February, March, and November come next, and are nearly alike ; then April, May, and October, in the order named. The mean annual supply for twenty-nine years is 22 inches.
The greatest amount of rain in any one month was in January, 1862, when there fell the enormous quantity of eighteen inches.
The most extraordinary summer rain was in June, 1875, when 1.11 inches fell during a southerly storm which lasted several days. That this was an anomaly is made apparent by the fact that in the three summer months during twenty-nine years the whole quantity of rain, collectively, deducting this, was less than two inches.
It is worthy of note that in the driest seasons there has been an abundant supply for agricultural purposes, had it been distributed evenly. Three inches in December, with one inch in each of the four following months, would produce full crops.
The rain table of San Francisco may be made the basis for estimating the fall in other parts of the State. The mountains of the north have from two to three times as much, and the southern section of the State about half as much, or even much less in some localities. The valley of the Sacramento has nearly the same quantity as San Francisco; that of the San Joaquin only half as much in the northern section, and still less in the southern.
By reference to the tables showing the extremes of heat and cold, it appears that the coldest weather was in January, 1854, when the mercury fell to 25°. At that time the mud in the streets was frozen solid, and the shallow ponds were covered with ice strong enough for boys to skate on. But such weather is extremely rare, though since that time the ground has been frozen several times so as not to thaw fully in the shade for several days. The coldest noonday embraced in the record was 37°. Often the entire winter passes by without bringing the thermometer so low as the freezing point. In 1853 it fell at no time below 40°.
The extreme of heat was on the tenth and eleventh of September, 1852, when the ther-

mometer reached 97° and 98° on the two days, respectively. This, however, was entirely exceptional, and might not occur again in half a century; the air was dry as a sirocco, and caused the woodwork of houses to crackle audibly, and the plaster to break on the wooden walls.
With the exception just noted, the hottest day was June 11, 1877-94°. Next come July 6, 1867, and June 12, 1876-93°. The temperature reached 91° on six days, viz: once in October, 1864, once in September, 1865, once in June 1872, once in June, 1877, and twice in September, 1877. In July, 1865, it was 90°. It appears, therefore, that there were but twelve days in twenty-seven years, when the temperature reached 90°.
The table of mean temperature shows that our summer does not come till the summer months have passed by. September is the warmest month in the year, and October next; then comes August; July, the hottest month elsewhere, is the fourth here, or links with June; next come April and May; then March and November; then February, and, finally, January and December, which are the only winter months, if indeed we have any weather that deserves the name of winter.
Twice the ground has been covered with snow. On the twenty-ninth of December 1856, it snowed very fast for several hours, and two or three inches gathered, but it melted before night. On the twelfth of January, 1868, it snowed fast before day, so that two inches collected. But it disappeared before sunrise, so that few persons enjoyed the rare spectacle.
The extraordinany evenness of the climate depends on the adjacent ocean, the water of which, flowing in a current from the north, is always at a temperature of about 54°, summer and winter. The sea breeze of summer, which chills the air at noonday, leaves no place for hot nights. There is not, on an average, one night in the year when it is warm enough to sit out of doors at midnight with comfort.

One hundred numbers, or as many thereof as may be necessary, shall be allotted to each block bounded by principal streets; numbers 100, 200, and 300 being respect- ively the numbers for commencing the blocks distant one, two, and three streets from the starting point on the side designated for even numbers, and numbers 101, 201, and 301, In similar manner for the opposite side of the street, throughout its extent; so that the initial figure of the number placed on a building at any street-crossing shall indicate the number of main streets such street-crossing is from the starting point. Not less than twenty feet in frontage of all vacant fots of ground shall be allowed for each number. ()n alt cross or intermediate streets the numbering shall com- mence where safd streets begin, and shall conform to the plan specified in this Order."
By this new decimal system of numbering buildings, the exact location of any number is readlly ascertained; for example, if you want to find 624 Montgomery, it Is on the east side of the block extending from Clay to Washington, which is the seventh from Market-Commercial and Merchant being private streets. Again, 825 Clay Is on the ninth block from the water front, which is the one extending from Dupont to Stockton. It must be borne in mind that one hundred numbers are allowed on each block between principal streets.
