MORTALITY REPORT FOR THE WEEK

SAN FRANCISCO, April IA.
The further decline in stocks to-day
caused much comment as to when the
bottom is likely to be reached. There
is absolutely no confidence among
operators. Many small crafts have
undoubtedly been swamped, and there
are also, as usual, rumors flying in
all directions regarding the ability of
some of the bigger guns to weather
the storm. Bob Morrow's financial
status is generally discussed. There
is a diversity Of opinion as to whether
he is a big sufferer by the decline in
Overrnan. or bad gotten u weeks ago
at high figures and then took a hand
in bringing about the break. Those
who hold the latter view generally
consider that his recent heavy loans
were mere blinds. 1t is certain, how
eve that if he held on to his Overman
in good faith he is badly crippled and
may possibly go under. Some say,
also, that the market was put down for
the accommodation OF Senator Sharon,
as his stocks were the first to decline.
Having recently returned from Wash
ington it is supposed that he may
have desired to get in before a deal is
made. But there are ten thousand
rumors and stories afoat, many of
them doubtless pure inventions of the
bears. and none probably entitled to
much weight. Flood Il O'Brien are
strongly censured for restricting loans
on the B~onanzas to $40 per share.
This. ii is argued, showed a want OF
confidence in their own mines which
aided greatly to depress those stocks,
and per consequence the whole mar
ket.
Quite a breeze has been created in
certain office-holding circles over the
announcement Of the fact that 10 or IL
packages Of liquor were seized by the
Custom-house authorities off The train
ing ship jamestown, recently arrived
from Honolulu. On her arrival, Conn
modore Glass reported to the Collec-
tor of the port that there were on board
a number of packages consigned to
gentlemen in this city. This, in the
opinion of the Collector, relieves the
parties involved from charges OF
smuggling. He had. however, no al
tentative but to seize the goods, no
duty having been paid OH them. Ac-
cordingly. the inspectors raided a

Sheriff Harris and a party of depu'
ties, who left here to eject the Yelling

property, returned this morning from
Nanaimo. On landing there, they
we're met by a large and excited crowC
of men and women, who tried to in
duce the deputies not to act. The par

the inhabitants, and proceeded 10 break

the goods. They were at once attacked
by women and men, with clothes
sticks, stones and fists, and after two
houses had been cleared OF their con
