the Import duty about 81 per 900
superficial feet. / am informed
by an American citizen who is In
the trade, that three or four small
cargoes Oregon wood, each year,
are always sure to find a ready
market. The same can be said of
the pumpkin pine, brought to San
Francisco by the Flume company,
and from there to this market,
where it always found a ready sale.
Ships loading for this port should
use shingles and laths for small
storage, also frewood, which is the
storage generally taken by the
captains in the trade, because it
finds ready market here. Cargoes
of from 100000 to 100000 feet are
greatly preferred to very large
cargoes, and they fetch generally
fuller prices. The reason of this
is, that a small cargo is more
easily financed for by the purchas
er, and that detention and the ex-
pense of lightering at the Woosing
bar are avoided. The most un-
favorable time for cargoes to ar
rive is during the months of Janu-
ary and February, the time of the
Chinese New Year, when the native
merchants are invariably wholly
absorbed in the settlement of the
old years accounts; money is then
generally very tight, and new
transactions are not gone into un-
til about the middle of March. All
superior lumber coming to this
market should be fairly clean and
sawn full thickness, thin lumber
being little required, except fol-
flooring, as all the coverings, con-
sisting of ] and ! inch board, are
imported from Japan. Cargoes
should be about equally divided

ITO destroy property without taking
life, +" is now the new cry of the dynamite
administers. There was q man in
London the other day, who set ERE to his
lodging-house, in order to make the in
surance on goods in his shop. The fire
burned mp six people who slept on an
upper floor, and the Court decided he was
guilty of murder. He had not planned
to kill these other lodgers, but only to
commit, in a manner, a fraud that in
ciuded felony. But the Court said that,
when by reeson Of a planned and sue
cessful felony life was lost, there was no
difference between such a crime and a
plot TO murder direct. A train-wreckef,
who puts log or tie across the track of
a coming train, for the purpose Of rob-
berry in the confusion of the wreck, is
just as guilty of murder rs i. he had
mangled or put an end to the passengers
by any other means. 1t is idiocy to talk
about any organized work of destruction,
or attempt, in Rossa's infamous work, to
draw lines between property and life. 1t

are assuredly right not to venture. This
is in the expression of adverse opinions
or even to indicate by any positive word
or purposely suggestive act that the Pres.
ident is going to die, though they may
think so ever so strongly. In preserving
a discreet reserve when the symptoms are
alarming and expressing their renewed
confidence and hope when the patient is
doing better 1 think they are doing a
wise and creditable thing, and what
should be expected Of them. There is a
professional side to this line Of conduct
which should not be forgotten. As long
as the President has chance for life, and
lie is a trite saying that ''while there is
life there is hope" it would be risky
thing to express an adverse opinion. For
should the patient recover IL leaves the
physicians in q very ridiculous attitude.
His opinion on such a subjec. would not
be worth much hereafter.
When the physicians approached the
noble wife of our Chief Executive yester-
day evening and performed their painful
duty, informing her that she must be
ready for the direct result that her hus-
bands death was near at hand, unless
averted by miracle, the brave woman,
still strong in the implicit faith that such
grand life could not be torn from her

when the contents of the evening bulletin
were learned. In conversation with the
doctors they learned that the situation
was growing more and more grave, and
they were given to understand that a
change must come soon. In fact, one of
the members stated afterward, they were
told that if a change for the better did
not come within twenty-four hours the

The Cameron managers would like
to slaughter Senator Davies, who is the
anti-machine candidate for State Trea-
surer, if they dare. The Cameronians
are not in love with Davies, because he
acted with the Independents in the Leg
islature, and is hand in glove with such
leaders as Wolfe and Mapes. They have
brought to the front Gen. Baily, who
acted with Conkling, Grant and Gamer
on at Chicago and is Republican of the
most Stalwart type. Shrewd politicians
aver with a good deal of emphasis, that
Davies has the strongest following among
Republican voters and that any attempt
to defeat him by the usual tactics OF the
Administration men. will react upon
themselves most unpleasantly. 1t looks
as if there will be lively times around the

OUR SPECIAL LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 81, 1881.
The past week has been the most re-
markable in the news annals of the Anne
rican capital. Other great events have
come and gone, plowiDg up the public
mind in their passage, other great alarms
have been sprung from time to time,
other great anxieties have pressed the
public pulse up to fever heat before, but
there probably never was such constant
and uninterrupted strain upon the nerves,
such series of alarms, such a week Of
ups and downs, of hope and fear, and
excitement, as the one beginning last
Sunday and ending to-day From the
moment of the Presidents relapse on
Sunday to the present hour there has
been scarcely a breathing spell of reason
able hope for his recovery. Yet the oc-
casional recurrence OF encouraging symp-
toms ana the almost coaxing voice of the
Presidents physicians, have afforded a
temporary relief. These respites of anx-
ETY. have only served to whet the edge of
excitement at every reversed unfavorable
report. This constant strain upon the
nervous system has had the effect, at last
to produce an exhaustion akin to lethar-
gy, and never since the dark days of the
rebellion, when the life of the nation hung
tremblingly in the balance, have the
whole people suffered such season ef
anxious waiting as since last Sunday
night, when the dispatch of Sec'y Blaine
showing for the first time the exact con-
dition of the President, announced to tn e
country how frail was the tenure of his
life All during the week the sorrowing
people have eagerly looked for favorable
news, and each day has closed with an
ominous forboding that the morrow
would bring forth fatal tidings. Since
Thursday night the suspense has been
positively painful, and now even with the
shade of hope" as expressed by DR..
Hamilton, this morning, the feeling of
depression is not lightened, and as the
fateful Saturday dawns fear of impend-
ing dissolution crowds from the public
mind the slender germ Of hope of possi-
BILE recovery.
There is disposition to find fault with
the doctors because they will not tell the
actual truth about the matter. Now,
while l have been equally disposed to
''kiek' at the occasional concealment or
apparent distortion of facts in the official
bulletins, there is line beyond which

this method Of estimate assumes that the
winter and spring crops of 1880 represented
an average condition. We haye followed
that assumption because that is the method
Of estimate commonly adopted 1t is
not, however, strictly correct. The July
condition Of winter last year averaged %,
and the August condition offspring IS. From
those ratios last years crop, had IL been one
OF average condition, would have yielded
303 200, 900 bushels of winter and 21e $780,
600 Of spring wheat so that an average
crop last year would have been 522, 200, ,OOo
bushels, or IL $4,000 bushels more than
the actual crop. The principal of averages
on which the departments reports are based
requires that the present percentages of con-
dition Of spring and winter grain should be
applied to these latter figures, which would
give 252y07l 900 bushels of winter and l76,-
ss5,OO0 Of spring, or total Of 42e, ,O56 900
bushels, or deci ease of 81 900 900 compared
with the crop Of $780,"
Respecting corn, there were this year
63,l4l, 900 acres planted with corn
against So, $685. OBI in the year 1880. The
average condition on August was only
", against 80 on July l, We quote
"The total area planted this year is G3,-
l4l 900 against 52,695,OOO acres in 1880, be-
ing an increase of about twenty per cent.
The total crop of last year, as estimated by
the Department Of Agriculture, was ,597,.
100000 bushels. As the August condition in
1880 was 9S, an average condition would
have given yield Of l l,56s,OOO,OOO bushels.
Applying TO these figures the current n per
cent OF condition, we have 1907 900 900
bushels as the yield indicated upon an acre
age the same as that of 1880. AS above
shown, however, this years area exceeds
that of 1880 by 20 per cent, allowance for
which brings up the present promise for this
years crop to l,44s,5OO, 900 bushels, or s9,-
100000 bushels below that of 1880. Accord
ing to this reckoning, the decrease from last
years yield ofcorn, as indicated by the Au-
gust condition, is 50 per cent. This result is
widely different from what has been ye-y
generally expected, the difference having
arisen on the important increase of acre
age, which has not been generally under.
