The demand for money continued strong
and street rates hardened, requiring some
advance in our quotations. There 10 very
little doing either in cOllaterals or first class
signatures under l v cent v month.
We now quote collateral loans at o. v
cent v month; first claes commercial sigma
lures ct l0lA; Al do ~ q ~. and second
grade at lh02 First class mortgages CON
tinue to rule at 10 y cent v annum, while
second grade are entirely nominal.
Cash gold continues scarce, the rates rul
ing above New York quotations. mod
crate movement is reported in foreign and
domestic exchange.
We notice come inquiry for city bonds fol
funding in the new premium bonds, bul
generally securities are neglected and nom
inal, owing probably to the high rates O
the loan market, which appear to be baset
upon the healthy improvement in business
aud the prospect of giving profitable EN-
ployment to money. tt

THE l.IMIGR

From all parts Of California comes
the same story-too large an influx Of
immigrants. Even in Virginia City there
are several thousand men who seek en-
ployment in vain. The Virginia Chron-
icls says:
For the past few weeks our local pa
pers have been giving ont continual
warnings TO intending immigrants TO
stay away from Virginia City. Already
we have from four to five thousand
more laboring men on our streets than
can find work, and yet every morning
the cars bring in detachments Of from
forty to sixty more men. all coming to
work in the mines. The big bonanza
has exested peculiar fascination for the
lower orders. and they are focking
hither in expectation of getting in on 1t
and making their pile in the shortest
possible space of time. We will repeat
our warning. We will show them how
fare too many others. who were filled
with as high hopes as those which ami
mated them. There is not day passes
but that the well-to-do residents ef Nir-
ginia are visited by men who beg them
for a meal of victuals. They all tell the
same story. and truthfully, too. They
have come here expecting to get work
and have found every place filled. Their
money is exhausted and they must beg
or starye.
1t is evident that something VIII have
TO be done 20 relieve this large number
of immigrants yet. We see it stated
that they offer to work for $50 a month
in California, on ranches or anywhere
else, bat without finding employment.
They must not be allowed to starve, but
how is this TO be prevented:

THE SAN FRANCISCO EXPLOSION.

The fact transpires that the great ex-
plosion in San Francisco was caused by
gross carelessness. George Green. n
blacksmith, who had been in the employ
of Mr.. Risdon, states that he went into
Risdon's to havs talk with Clark. Ris-
don's foreman; that Clark went into the
Office to get cartridges ready for blasting.
He took loose powder out of a box and
put into tin cans with a wooden scoop
through a hole about one and one-half
inch large; he had filled one can and
placed that on the table: placed two
empty cans near the box and commenced
filling them; the box with the powder
was standing on the floor. from which
he filled the cans; he then lighted his
pipe and sat down on the empty box
alongside the powder and WAS crossing
his legs. which Jared the pipe in his
mouth, from which some sparks drop
ped into the box of powder. He then
tried to extineuish the sparks with his
finger. when, after n moment, the pow
der blazed up. Seeing this, Green ran
about fifty yards when the explosion &C.
Cured Clark body was burned to a
crisp. The number of victims of this
disaster is still unknown, as some are
missing. while still others are under
medical treatment.

WILL CONTEST THE vETo.--At the meet
ing of the Board of County Com
rissioners this forenoon. a commune
cation was read from the Board of
Commissioners OF Lyon County stat
ing that they intend to contest Lieu
tenant Governor Adams veto of the bill
abolishing Churchill county and dividin G
its territory between Lyon and Lander
counties, and inquiring as TO the
amount of expense (about S1.150l Lam
der county would bear. The Com
missioners concluded that as the
territory coded to Lander is of no practi-
cal value for purposes of taxation, it
would be impoli.ic to make any appro-
priation to aid in contesting the veto.
Let Lyon make fight if she wants to;
but Lander can't afford to stand it.

THE FARMING OUTLOOK.

From present appearances the out
look for the farmers in this reslon-and
perhaps, throughout the whole State
is not as promising As i. was at this time
one of heavy snow-falls. No Winter for
many years has equaled it in this res
pect. The heavy SHOWS deposited on
our mountains warranted plenty Of water
in our streams and gulches for the pur-
poses of irrigation. Tie month Of
February, 1874. in this valley, and, in
fact. throughout the State, was marked
by storms and freezing weather. Feb
ruary of this year was as balmy and
mild as are the finest Aprils of this lat
tude of the Eastern States. But March
has been terrific in its cold winds, which
have blown away the moisture which
should have been absorbed by the soil.
l. IS true that our farmers improved the
month of February by blowing and sow
ing wheat Within short distance Of
this office there are fields Of wheat now
sprincing up and covering the ground
with a coat of green. 1t may be that
wheat SO early sown will take such sub
stantial root during this and the succeed
ing month, when more or less moisture
will doubtless fall, that good harvest
may be the result. But the slight depth
of snow on our mountains is insufficient
TO warrant much water fer irrigation.
What little snow there is will scarcely
furnish water for irrigation of the potato
crop Of the foothills. where the potato
fourishes best and is most extensively
cultivated in this region, at least; The
cold winds which have prevailed for
more than a month past still continue,
and, to use the language of Uncle
Treadway. are bad omen for the
Changers" 1t is probable that the con-
ending portion of this month and May
will give us more moisture and less
winds. 1t is scarcely possible that they
can give us less of the former or more of
the latter. While it must be admitted
that the opening of the present season
seems far from suspicious to our farm
ers. it may be that the succeeding por-
ton may be all that could be desired.
As nothing can be worse than the last
six weeks, meteorolosicaliv speaking, an
Improvement must come some time.
Let US hope that the dawn of better
weather is approaching. 1t is not yet
too late for good crops with abundant
moisture and EARN weather.
