Editorial Correspondence.
SAN Francisco, May 7, 1882.


Starting in for business this morning,
we find the old and popular house Of
Marder, Luse & Co., at 52S, Sacramento
street. Here we find slight change
from old times, in the fact that Mr.. N. q.
Hawks has sold out his interest in the
establishment and Mr. Wallace "a most
obliging, genial and straightforward
business mani has taken his place
Mr.. Hawks has started in business in
the same line for himself about block
listant, at 532, Clay St Mr.. HIS popu-
larity among the craft on the coast will
insure him good share OF the trade
from the first Mr.. Wallace evidently
brings good wearing qualities to the old
firm, and will keep its justly earned rep
utation fully up to the required standard.
Having made satisfactory arrangements,
and having purchased more printing
material than we intended before COM
ing, we turn our attention elsewhere

Of Messrs Palmer 4 Rey at 205, Leides.
dorif st., we find large force of mechan-
les working like beavers. This firm is
lealing largely in printing machinery of
oil kinds, and they build and repair
presses with remarkable rapidity, We
did some trading with them and then
hurried on. At l3, Kearney street, we
find Mr.. Z. Hanschober, formerly Of
Port Townsend. He is handling valua-
bes in large jewelry establishment,
and looks just as he used to. From
here we visit the large safe manufactu-
ring establishment of Raymond & Will
shire at 2l5, California street. After
hansacting an errand for friend, we
take look through their fine establish
ment. 1t is worthy of note, and we
hurry away feeling that the time has
been proftably occupied.
Passing the Chronicle Office, we find
there is a commotion. A large placard
announces: "THE PRESIDENT HAS
SIGNED THE CHINESE BILL =!

patches on Saturday, still retains enough
