TIE threatening dry weather has had n
depressing effect upon the demand for real
estate tor two weeks past, and is particularly
noticeable this week, both in the small num-
Der of sales and the moderate value of prop
erty sold. Since the last rains, however,
there is better feeling, and those who were
inclined to dependency are smiling once
more at the prospect for good spring trade.
The demand for good paying improved bust
ness property is good, but the sales effected
are far short of the funds in waiting for
prof table investment, which is entirely owing
to the absence of a supply On hand to meet
the demand.
The examination of Juan Baptiste CALI |
ano, the Visitacion valley double murderer,
was on Thursday continued in Police Court |
No. until February 10Th. The reason for !

stabbed on The occasion of the double slaugh- |
ter, was too ill to appear in Court. 1t is the
purpose of the prosecution to show by the |
girl a motive for the dreadful deed. The |
murderer has been in prison now near two
months, and he appears to have been en-
tireiy abandoned by his friends and country |!
men. He has not received visit from either |
since his Incarceration, and he has not even !
a change Of clothing.
By an accident the manifest of the British |
steamship Boutwell, Castle, which arrived here |
two days ago from Hongkong, was left be.
hind. just before leaving port the consgnors
of the vessel handed the Captain package |
of papers, with the remark that the manifest |
was rolled up with them. The Captain did |
not find out that it was missing until he had |
put to sea-too late to rectify the error. A |
former law provided that in such a case fine |
should be levied and no cargo discharged un-
til the manifest arrived. This has been modi-
fed to the extent of permitting the Master of
vessel to swear out new manifest, made |
up from the bills of lading. and all articles
appearing on such duplicate manifest are al
lowed to bs landed in the ordinary way. Any
merchandise on board the ship in excess Of
what is shown on the duplicate has to remain
on board until the original manifest arrives
The Captain of thu Boutwell, Castle swore out
a new manifest yesterday morning at the
Custom house within the forty-eight hours
prescribed by law, and it il believed that he |
will be permitted to proceed without delay to
discharge cargo.
