New York's Commercial Supremacy.

New York's Commercial Supremacy.
The merchants and shippers of New York
held meeting in the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday to receive the report of the COM
mittee appointed by them some time ago to
consider the subject of railroad transporta-
ton. 1t is to be regretted that the business
men of New York have not sooner compre-
hended the fact that the remissness of our
own and the activity of other seaport cities
have diverted from us o large portion
of the business which legitimately
belongs to us, and which ought
to have helped to enrich our own mer-
chants instead of those of other cities
1t is ridiculous to talk Of "rivalry" be-
tween New York on the one side and such
places as Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore
or Montreal on tho other side Neverthe-
less, the growth Of New York may be seri-
ously impeded and other Atlantic seaports
may be temporarily benefited by an unwise
and obstructive policy on the part of our city,
and there is no good reason why even this
much of the profit of our natural advan-
tages should be thrown away. 1t does not
speak we'll for the intelligence or the energy
of our commercial men that they have re-

EUREKA CONSOLIDATED.

We publish to-day a letter from a
San Francisco correspondent, which
purports to. chronicle some contem-
plated important changes in the affairs
of the Eureka Consolidated. We give
the letter for what it Is worth, not
vouching for its entire correctness. IL
may be true that the company finds it
necessary to construct two additional
furnaces, in order to make sure Of a
continuance of the regular monthly
dividend of 50 per share; but this. for
. time at least, is not absolutely i'm
perative. 1t is deemed prudent to pro-
vide against possible accident to the
old furnaces. and hence new mes are
contemplated. These. weare ssnguine,
will be added on the site Of the present
works, for the very good reason that
immediate removal is out of the ques-
ton, and to maintain two smelling
establishments separately would ncur
a bill of current expenses more than
equal 10 the extra cost oI tIansporta-
tion. The decline in lead Is seriously
felt by our miners, but it should be re-
membered that the recent appreciation
of silver more than eoinpensates for
the falling of in the market price OF
base bullion. There can be no ques
ton whatever about the productiveness
of the mine. The ore reserves are
simply immense. No other word will
adequately express an idea of the vast
bodies in sight. We therefore conclude
that the affairs of the company will
proceed Just as usual, and that three
dollar dividends will be paid indef-
nitely.

WASH SALES.

The futile mining bill, which has
now passed the Assembly, and which
will probably become a law, will have
the effect of stopping a great many
wash sales. Washing will become more
expensive to the maniPulators OF the
stock market. while the general cleans
ing effect of the bill will be felt by the
public.
The above is from the great bear or
gan, the San Francisco Chronicle. The
Stock Exchange commenting upon the
extract, shows that the bill will
fall short of its purpose in this regard.
BY way of Illustration it puts the case
fOrcibly as follows: "a, B and G are
engineering a stock in the boards and
are keeping it before the public by
means of "wssh ~sales," or ''cross or
ders,n or whatever other name bogus
transactions are called. Their stock is
. Tuscarora wild cat, and as it only
rates at from 40 to 60 cents q share.
1000 shares knocked back and forth
Is quite enough to make a market.
The tax is one-tenth of me per cent;
1000 shares selling and buying in
wolves, at 40 cents a share, just $500.
One-teuth of one per cent. on the sales
would be Just so cents! OF couse no.
body is going to ''wash" a stock when
it costs as much as that! And so with
a IS stock-l00 or POO shares a day
would be a comfortable wash, and that
would cost about a dollar for the tax.
We have read a great deal in the
Chronicle OF late about what great
things the futile bill is going to do,
but we haven't yet seen any explana'
ton of the probable effect of any n OF
its features. That about the tax being
likely to prevent wash sales is all
bosh."
NorE.-A dispatch from Sacramento
received since the above was put in
type, indicates pretty clearly that the
Tuttle bill can not become a law. The
Senate Committee on Corporations
yesterday reported a substitute which
virtually kills the original. as the Leg
islature adjourns sine die on Monday
