THE REPUBLICANS.
Last night the Republican County Con
vention concluded its labors by indorsing all
the. nominations, and adjourned sine die.
On the whole, the sessions of the convention
have been harmonious, for a political nomi-
mating body and, while the struggle by
friends of the many candidates were some
times sharp. there have been no bitter ami.
mosities created that viii prevent the Repub
hcan party concentrating on the entire ticket
Taken as whole, the ticket is a good one,
and ia made up OF representative men of the
several wings of the party in San Francisco.
The candidate for Mayor, Judge Blake, is a
concession to the workers of the party, and
he is withal an acceptable man to the respect
able element of the community. He has
been in public Office for years, and his record
is clean. Republicans generally believe he
win be elected, no matter whom the Demo-
Gratis put up against him. For Auditor, the
most important Office on the list, the nominee,
Henry Brickwedel, is probably the best that
could be named. He has as good record,
which he made while in the Board of Super
visors, as any man who ever held Office in the
city, and he has the respect of the people
The Board of Education is a good one; and
the same may be said of the Supervisors
although there are already rumors afoat that
the majority are favorable TO Spring Valley.
This, however, is mere assertion so far, as
but two of the nominees have any record on
the question, and both of these gentlemen
have been opposed to the water company for
years. The platformtis rather ambiguous as
to the Spring Valley hugbear, and pledges
economy with an "if" That the platform
could have been made stronger In these re.
spects is the opinion OF strong party men.
THE STOCK MARKET
Continues very quiet, the continued levying
of assessments having bad effect on the en-
tire list. Any attempt at raising values has
been met with all the stock wanted.
THE FREIGHT MARKET
Is strong, and extreme rates are asked for
all vessels suitable for wheat. The fact that
an immense amount of tonnage is on the way
has had no effect so far in affecting prices,
and for spot charters and for ships to arrive
"a per ton, U. K, is readily obtained.
THE GENERAL MERCHANDISE MARKET
Is considered in satisfactory condition by
the trade, though for the moment trade is
dull. A good fall trade is confidently ex-
pected, and stocks ara accommodating in the
hands of importers and jobbers with that ex-
pectation. Rice is a fraction lower. Salt is
a dollar ton better than last week.
PRODUCE MARKET
In the produce market quiet tone has
prevailed the past week, and quotations are
2Jc lower for choice wheat than last Friday.
The best price obtainable is 81 42I for No 1,
and 81 81 may be considered the outside
figure for No. 2.
