BREADSTUFFS.

There was quite an active movement in the
grain markets during the past week, and the
changes in values were frequent and quite Sc
we're. The markets have been what are called
ssweather markets." the condition of the
weather being the main influence gov
erning the course of prices. With
rain, values would invariably advance,
while pleasant weather would always
exert a reverse influence. The movement was
almost wholly on speculative account, the
shipping interest doing but little in the way OF
buying Spring wheat shows an increase
in the stock in store but corn and
oats show decrease During the closing
days of the week the greater part
of the advance gained early was lost, although
the closing quotations of wheat and oats show
an improvement of from 3@5c per bu.
Corn was higher, but closed at lower figures.
Cash oats were scarce, and sold up to Gle, the
the offerings being inadequate to meet the
wants of the local trade. Rye was 7@9c
higher, and barley for September closed about
607c higher
The following table shows the prices current
at the opening and close of the past week:

with sales at $1.18.
COOPERAGE, LUMBER AND WOOD.
The usual quietness again prevailed in the
market for cooperage, and no particular activity
need be expected until the opening of the pack
ing season. The offerings were only moderate
and prices were unchanged; quotable at
$1.1215 91.15 for pork barrels, 81. 35@1.45 for
lard tierces, $1,000 10 for whisky barrels,
and 45(D55c for flour barrels. The market was
well supplied with lumber during the week.
and although the movement was not as brisk
as it might have been under so good an assert
ment, steady feeling peryaded the market and
former prices were maintained. The market
closed at $3.50 for joist and scantling, $4,000
1900 for common to choice boards AID strips,
81. 1215@2.7O for shingles, and S1.5O for lath.

The Significance of the Stripes OF a
Barber Pole.

A gilt knob at the end of BARRIERS
pole represents the brass basin which
was formerly actually suspended from
the pole. The basin had notch cut In
it to fit the throat, and was used for
lathering customers who came to be
shaved. The pole represented the staff
held by persons in blood-letting, and the
two spiral ribbons painted round it rep
resented the two bandages, one for
twisting around the arm previous to the
operation, and the other for binding.

Poor Richard.

The following were few of the max
inns of that king of printers, Benjamin
Franklin: Trade is the mother of money;
be beforehand with your business; spend
and be free, but make no waste; prayer
and provender hinder no journey; credit
is Like looking glass, easily broken; he
who looks not before, finds himself be-
hind; keep thy Office, and thy Office will
keep thee; they can never thrive, who
spend their time in .beer-houses, and in
gaming houses; God helps them who
help themselves.

1 RENEWED energy is manifested In
the oil interests in this part of the
State. New and, we understand, very
flattering discoveries have recently
been made in the San Fernando
mountains and the wells being sunk
in the old mines are giving out en-
couraging prospects. 1t is rumored
that several San Francisco capitalists
contemplate investing money in the
oil mines in this county, and in course
of time erecting works of the latest
and most improved style. A new
company is about being organized for
the purpose of putting down a we'll
1000 feet deep, if necessary, on the
Boushey tract, two miles West OF the
city. In this locality, oil mining ex-
perts say the indications are more
favorable than in the oil regions of
Canada or Pennsylvania, and they are
certain that the expenditure of few
thousand dollars will develop a flow
ing we'll.

The Good Time Coming.

The arrival of General Cotton and
party in our midst is the signal
not only for more railroad build
ing, but for some much to be de-
sired improvements at Wilmington in
the shipping of goods to and from the
city. In the first place, a considera-
BILE reduction, probably twenty-five
per cent, in the cost of lighterage will
be made. This, in the aggregate, will
amount to considerable sum, which
will be saved to our people. We shall
not be surprised to hear that the visit
of General COTTON led to determina-
ton on the part Of the company to
extend the railroad track to or near
Old San Pedro and the building of a
wharf at that port at which steamers
will be able to lay and discharge
freight into or receive it from the cars.
1T is already announced that the
Southern Pacific road will be extended
one hundred miles from its present
terminus at Spadra, in the direction of
Arizona, by the close of the present
Summer. This, as we have before
stated, will turn the trade of Arizona
through Los Angeles. General COL
TON says the gap in the road between
Sad Fernando and Aliens Camp will
be closed on or before the 1st of July
of next year. All this is good news
for Southern California, and indicates
a good time coming which is SO near
at hand that we can fix the date
thereof.

Hiqhwaymen.

There are several classes of high
waymen, and all of them detested and
dreaded. The boldest and bravest are
least dangerous as rule. They walk
square up to your face, tell you who
they areand demand your cash, which
when handed over settles the matter.
A second class will decoy the traveller
into by-ways, or drug him until he is
oblivious to all that concerns him, his
money is then filched and he left to
die, or recover, as the chances may fa-
vor. A third class will secret them
selves in ambush by the highway, and
as the unsuspecting traveller passes he
receives the assassins bullet in his
back. These are dastardly towards,
and more to be dreaded than either Of
the others. Analogous to the high
waymen who rob men of life and mon
ey, are several classes who may be
termed highwaynen, who rob men of
their character or good name. First,
there is class of bold, reckless fellows,
with no reputation of their own, who
will slander any and everybody as he
pieases, and even fight you, to con-
vince the world his slander is true. A
second class are more cowardly, they
will stand on the street corners and In
a low tone and smile of sarcasm
make derogatory remarks about you
as you pass by. Sometimes they will
venture to speak the vilest slander,
but they cover their own tracks by
using the old dodge, "they say" But
the third class are more to be dreaded.
They are the robbing correspondents.
They will blast the reputation of a
neiehbor, or stranger, or any body, by
sarcastic filings, or slanderous criti-
cisms, or direct falshood, but they are
always in ambush, hid behind a ficti-
tious name. Shakespeare says such
men are far more to be dreaded than
the cunning, dastardly highwayman,
that shoots the traveller for his purse.
1t is astonishing that journals pretend
ing to be respectable will publish their
communications. -,e,

should not longer retain control of the
Government. For over six years
President GRANT and his advisers
have labored, or pretended to labor,
at the task of bringing about peace
and harmony in the States of the
South. Let the address of the Com :
mittee be read, as evidence of how
little they have accomplished in the
desired direction. If they have la
bored in earnest, their utter failure
proves them incompetent for the
work, and they should be relieved
from a task they do not possess abil-
ity to perform. If they have not la
bored in earnest, their perfidy and
bad faith merits the disapprobation of
the people to the extent of hurting
them from place and power. BY no
parity of reasoning can the present
unhappy condition of the South be
urged as an argument for longer re-
tanning the Republican party in pow
er. AS whole, we do not admire the
address nor can we compliment the
good taste and Judgment of the COM
mittee in composing and sending it
forth. 1t is an appeal to the preju-
dices, not the good sense aud intelli-
gence of the people, and as such it
must be accepted more In the light of
an insult than as the semblance of an
argument,

There are a good many candidates

There is something in this to be proud
of. 1t shows that we have a large
number of citizens who have a high
appreciation of themselves and no dis
position to hide their lights under a

three bushels to hide some of their
lights, and even then scintillations
would escape to frighten children and
excite apprehensions of small earth

Characteristic Document.

The recently issued address of the
Republican State Central Committee
is characteristic, yet singular docu-
ent-characteristic because it is all
about the war, which has been the
stock in trade of the leaders of that
organization during the campaigns of
the last decade, and peculiar in the
fact that it asks for new lease Of
power and further maintenance of
supremacy on questions and issues
which have long since passed into his
tory and are not now matters for ma
tional consideration. The rebellion
made the Republican party. 1t came
into power on a minority of the popu-
lar vote and the attempted secession of
part of the States gave it a power
and influence which under no other
combination of circumstances it could
have attained. Being in power at the
Transportation of an event against
which was thrown the mighty union
sentiment of the nation, it received
the support of that sentiment and ex-
panded to dimensions only bounded by
the confines of the nation itself. Who
shall say that the primary object of
the war - the maintenance of the
Union-wouid not have been attained
had the act of secession been attempt
ed under the domination of the old
Whig or Democratic parties? 1t was
the people and not political party
that put down the rebellion, and this
great Union which stands to-day one
and inseparable, is cemented with the
blood of the people, not by the ties of
party. Intelligent citizens of the
United States understand this main,
in fact, chief, point in the war contro-
versy and they are weary of hearing a
few office-seekers arrogating to them
selves all the heroism and patriotism of
the nation. That portion of the address
devoted to the condition of affairs in
the South, is in especial bad taste.
The capitulation of the riots and MUIR
ders that have occurred in the South
since the close of the war as an argu-
ment why the Republican party
should be retained in power will have
no weight, except to indicate the
straight to which the committee is re-
duced for material to make up a
lengthy address. The instances of
bloodshed and anarchy recapitulated,
are in truth so many indictments
against the Republican party = so
many reasons why that organization
