Tne At,.mp, 60 "CsnCss" the wheat
assUwers.


SAN FRANCISCO, August 27th.--
Private advices from Calcutta re-
port an advancing market in wheat
bags and jute. 1t costs between
nine and ten cents to land wheat
bags here from Calcutta on the
back of the rates prior to the recent
advance. About S5O0,0CQ worth of
wheat bags, which have not yet
left Calcutta, have been sold for the
next seasons delivery at nine
cents, but all offers of that kind, we
believe, have now been withdrawn.
Leading holders Of wheat bags held
a meeting this forenoon to consider
the situation; but, owing to the abb
sence of two prominent operators,
nothing was done. Another small
consignment of wheat bags will be
put under the auctloneer's hammer
tomorrow.

ton, when the awards are made.
There were quite q number of pro-
posals sent on from San Francisco
on the 18th, including the Anglo
Californian Bank, the Bank of CAL
tf0rnia, the Nevada Bank, D. Mer-
cier and Hellman & Hausen.
Most of the offers to sell were un-
der London equivalent, but they
were all declined, except one of
los. 900 ounces from the Aug.o. CAL
Bank at l IA 80 per ounce.
The condition of the market is such
that the government can almost
make its own price for silver. The
foreign demand here has been un-
usually light for several weeks,an
the stock has been steadily accum-
ulating. We believe that there are
about 2,500. 900 ounces in fine silver
here awaiting a market. So far as
Can be learned, there Is not much
stock In London, but the demand
there Is comparatively small.

giles, reach nearly every part Of the
county, and certainly every impor-
tant settlement. There are few
communities In the East that are
90 perfectly provided with local
transportation facilities as the peo.
pie who dwell in Los Angeles
county.
Rail communication with the
East below the snow belt is going
to have a wonderful effect for the
better In Los Angeles. In the
fret place, In the matter Of travel,
the change will be great. Hitherto
ninety.nine out of every hundred
persons who have arrived In Califor-
mia landed in San Francisco. When
there the stranger found nobody in
terested In sending him to Los An
geles. Unless he came from the
East expressly to visit or settle in
Southern California, he was likely
to hear nothing about this section.
But he Was sure to do, what every
traveller or intending immigrant
does everywhere, viz, scan the col
umns Of the daily newspapers and
note the rates Of fare to different
points. Knowing little about this
section, one point would seem
about IS good as another TO him.
The thing that would rivst his at
tention, however, Is that he would
find he could get up to Oregon
from San Francisco for SIS, while it
would cost him SIS or $50 to come
to Los Angeles. In the great ma
jority Of cases, that would fix the
matter at once against this section.
Los Angeles has been out of the
way and has been practically inac-
ceesible to the i'm migrant.
With the Southern Pacific com.
pleted this would all be bravely
changed. During great part OF
the year the bulk OF Eastern travel
to this coast would then pass
through Los Angeles. For a
stretch OF over q thousand
miles the Los Angeles val
ley would be the first green
and inviting apot encountered.
Half the travellers, at least. would
stop off here to pick an orange or
two from the tree, novel and
highly Interesting experience to
them. AS this county Is but in the
infancy Of the development of its
resources, and as the completion of
this road will give it a great impe.
tus, 1t will pay the immigrant to
remain here and invest in real es
tate. and the opportunity will un-
doubtedly be embraced by thous-
ands.
There can be no manner Of doubt
but that, in year from to-day,
given q good season this winter,
this county will have undergone a
wonderful change for the better
Our condition is highly wholesome
aud encouraging rs it is. The
crops of the cereals are abundant
aud will command a remunerative
market, however the rest of the
State may fare. We have not only
the ocean but Arizona to fall back
upon for a market. The demand
for wines and brandies 10 steadily
increasing, at very much improved
prices. Our wool Interests are in
capital condition, and the fall clip
will command good prices. Our
bearing orange orchards are max.
ing plethoric the bank accounts of
their owners, and young trees are
coming into bearing by tens Of
thousands. Take 1t for all In all, If
Los Angeles fails to become
wealthy and populous in the next
five years it will be from a neglect
of her resources, or one of those
visitations of Providence which
are occasionally chronicled in the
affairs of men.

To Young Men.

Young men, if you contemplate
business career, you cannot look af-
ter your habits too carefully. Your
aim in life is to be successful in all
undertakings, and you can never be
successful with bad habits. Matters
which seem of small moment to you
now, may become in future the turn
ing-point in your career, either up or
down as they have that of many a
man before you. In illustration of
this, We print the following anecdcte,
as related in one of the most promi-
nent New York dailies. % ..'
Horace B. Clafiin, the most
prominent and wealthy dry goods
merchant of New York, was alone In
his Office one afternoon, when young
man, pale and careworn, tinidly
knocked and entered. 'Mr. Clafiin,
said he, Il have been unable to, meet
certain payments because parties fail
ed to do by me as they agreed to do,
and i would like to have $40, 900. I
come to you because you have been
friend to my father, and might be q
friend to me.' ~ fsvag a. = @514
"Come in," said ClaAin, sscome in
and have glass of wine." "No,'
said the young man, 81 don't drink" !"
'Have cigar, then?' 'tNo-I never
smoke" ''Well'' said the Joker,
81 would like to accommodate you,
but l don't think I can.'' 's'Very
well" said the young man, as he
was about to leave the room, s'I
thought perhaps you might-good
day sir." ssHold on" said Mr..
Clafiin; ''you don't drink9" ''No."
"Nor smoke, nor gamble, nor any
thing Of the kind?'' 'sNo sir.''
"Well," said Mr.. Ciafiin, with
tears in his eyes, 'syou shall have it,
and three times the amount If You
wish. Your father let me have IS, 600
once and asked me the same qees-
tions. No thanks-I owe it to yeu
for your fathers sake. "A g

Some More Chronology.

During the year Just buried and
wept over several things happened
which will never be mentioned in the
dictionary er encyclopedia, but should
be remembered by the public all the
same. a
The number of men who pulled
their guns towards them by the muz-
zle was about fifty. One trial will
satisfy you that it never fails.
Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine
was a good year for the fool who
points unloaded revolvers at his aunt
and other folks. He managed to keel
over about twenty victims, and is
'sreal sorry" for it. He wouldn't
have done it for nothing, you know.
During the dead year eleven para
graphers got off jokes on the mother
in-law and then softly slipped into
their last resting place beneath the
willows. 1t is we'll. Nobody has
missed them.
The number OF orators who in 1873
began their speeches with, ''Feilow-
citizens of this glorious country, was
| eighty-five the number in 1879 was
elghty-four. Let US be thankful for
small favors and have hopes Of the
future.
| Of the one hundred and fifty-two
householders who borrowed shot guns
and took aim at ''that internal cat, .
three hit the cat and the remainder
knocked over small boys and othel
live stock, and are now wondering
how on earth they could possibly have
done it.
Eighteen hundred and seventy nine

; times during 1879. This may infiu

is graduallyreet, but there is no dan.
|, become with the present brand
+ gsea captains.
! The number of mothers who left
rat poison and other fatal doses
where the children could get at them
WAS twenty-one. This is a decrease
over the previous year, and in the
dim future womankind may possibly
realize the fact that children, cats,
rats, cockroaches and ants are sus.
ceptible to the same influence.
! During 1879 only two householder
mistook the hired girl for a burglar
and popped her dead There is con-
sequently no demand for a national
convention of hired girls to discuss
the question: ''Shall we wear bullet
proof corsets and demand more
wages?''
The number of kind-hearted people
who went out hunting, mistook q
friend for wild turkey, fox or griz-
Fly and peppered him dead was four.
teen, with Rhode Island to hear from.
Every one of them felt bad enough to
cry, but mistakes will happen in all
families.

returns are still coming in by every
mail.
Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine
produced no improvement in drawing
teeth; no consolation to the man who
has to have his hair cut; no better
method for breaking In new boots ;
no new route for embezzlers to get
into Canada; no way of getting along
on the street cars except to stand up,
and no new way Of getting back small
loans. Considered as q whole, she
wasn't anything extra of a year, even
, for bad weather.
