ACTUAL STOCK OF TOBACCO.
On taking account of the stock of tobacco on
Saturday the twenty-second instant we found
1886 hhds, as per statement below. We do not give
the details of the quantity held by manufacturers
but have received careful returns from all. The
account is undoubtedly correct, yet it shows an
excess over our running statement of 400 hhds. As
there have been no duplicated exports. and the
amount allowed for city consumption SO far from
being excessive, is if anyt hing short Of the actual
amount no other inference can be drawn than that
the excess has been caused by short entries in
boats manifests, or arrivals without manifests
which were not recorded.

VINEGAR B1rTERs.-DR. J. WALKER, a regular practicing physician of Califor- nia, has conferred priceless boon upon mankind, by the introduction of 8 ''Bit- ters" compounded from herbs exclu- sively, which may be truly said to be superseding all others, and is becoming bitter dose indeed for the charlatans and quacks, on account of it's immense sale and universal popularity. Not only are these VINEGAR B1TrERs, as he calls them, an invaluable tonic and alternative, but they are acknowledged as stand ard MEDICINE, and the astonishing ra- pidity with which they cure diseases hitherto declared incurable, seems al- most incredible. After having been carefully tested, they are kept on hand in thousands of households, and used for any and every form of disease, many relying upon them in preference to the most celebrated physicians. They have become arecognized Family Remedy" {" and properly so.--Cone.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon their family physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with palpitation of the heart, another with trouble of the breast, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to them selves and their easy-going and indifferent doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, as- are all symptoms caused by some uterine disorder and while they are thus only able perhaps to palliate for time, they are ignorant of the cause, and encourage their practice until large bills are made. when the suffering patients are no better in the end, but probably worse for the delay, treatment, and other com plications made, and which proper medicine removed, thereby instituting health and com fort instead of prolonged misery.

Loss of a Ship and Crew.

A telegram, was received from Port Townsend, W. T., announcing the total loss of the ship Panther, Captain J. w. Balch, with all on board The Panther, destined for San Francisco, sailed from Nanaimo, w. T., in tow of the steam tug Goliah. When within fifty miles of her starting point she encountered a terrible gale which forced her. upon the rocks off lilly Point, in Georgia Bay. The Goliah was unable to render any assistance. Subsequently she repaired to Port Townsend and dispatched the sad news. At the time of the fatal oc- currence there were twenty-three per- sons on board the Panther, including the captain and his wife. The Panther's cargo consisted of 1, 700 tons of coal.

Business Prospects.

It has been the prediction of almost all who have much reputation as com- prophets, that business during 1874 would be active and remunerative, and we have already indications that the activity has begun. Manufacturing, especially of textile fabrics, is pro- gressing favorably, and few establish ments are idle. The fact that the cot ton factories are now running at a profit is not the least gratifying feature of the present condition of affairs. The woolen manufacturing interest is in a less prosperous condition, but those who are doing business with a reasonable degree of caution are paying their way. The retail dry goods trade has hardly settled down to steady work on business principles, and there is still considerable, driving of goods at less than cost for the sake of moving them. This is not general, however, and is likely to come to an end before long.
 Of other extensive New England in dustries, the manufacture of boots and shoes is justly considered the most inn portant. The,demand for goods in this line seems to be a little backward, the mildness of the season accounting in a measure for the lateness of this trade. The low prices which ruled at the South and West during the two months of the panic, on cotton, wool and provisions, have also much to do with it. as the producers were thereby impoverished to certain extent. .te ...,.' '1--. ..- 2,
 IL is we'll to take into account, in estimating the probable consumptive demand for goods, the fact that the purchasing power of the country was reduced millions of dollars by the panic. In the South and West the pro- 'ducers were compelled to sacrifice very heavily on their products in order to turn them into cash at time when money was scarce. The enforced idle ness of thousands of mechanics for two months placed them also in position from which they cannot recover at once. Many of them will feel it their first duty to replace, as soon as possi- ble, their deposits in the savings banks, which they were compelled to draw upon while others, less fortunate, will be obliged to devote several weeks to the payment of debts contracted during the time when they had no work. This will, to a certain extent, diminish the volume of trade during the early part of the year. On the other hand it is we'll known that stocks of manufac- tured goods, of almost all kinds, are light, necessitating the immediate production of considerable quantities to supply the demands of distributors.

ITS REsULT.-If alcohol is taken ha- bitually during long time in consider able quantities, it is apt to produce an excessive deposit of fat, and fatty de- generation of the heart or of other vital organs, rendering aperson less vigorous in throwing off disease. The inference is, obviously, that the -habitual use of alcoholic drinks should be a, matter of great caution with every one and that liquors containing large alcoholic pro- portions, such as brandy, whisky, and port and sherry, should be avoided by all persons. -. .- ..sL
