Of the Board Of Trade of Sacramento which
appeared in the body of one of our annual
reviews. It remains now but to glance geE-
orally at some of the leading industries and
business lines, and consider their condition at
the close of the year 1882;
Money has been plenty and loans seeking
for borrowers The four banking houses report a
healthfu financial condition in the business circles
Of the city.
PUBLISHING Has been conducted by two daily,
one semi-weekly and one weekly journal, and all
have had prosperous year.
REAL EsTATE-Has appreciated in value, and bust
ness property has much advanced and has been in
reat energy, and has exceeded in moneyed value
that OF any preceding year.
THE HAY GRAIN AND FEED market has been far
better than in any previous year.
Wool dealers report the spring clip to have been
about 900 600 pounds average cost 26 cents. Fall
clip 800 900 pounds average cost, l44 cents TOTAL
for the year. coo pounds, the value Of which is
S3i7 900 The fall staple was not as good as that OF
1881 The prospects are for a good spring clip in
1888 and fair prices for good staple. Farmers Will
probably give attention tO sheep raising IN the
future The Spanish merino seems to be considered
the favorte stock Sacramento is an excellent wool
center and growers will find it to their advantage
to forward their woods here for sale, as they can
always find market at highest ruling prices, and
save storage commission and other expenses.
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS houses report an In
crease OF fully 10 per cent. In trade-the Jo5blpg
business having much increased.
HARDWARE houses report a steady trade; no de-
clinations and in leading lines gratifying advance
FRtIGHT SHIPMENTS. doubt is entertained re-
garding the material increase Of trade in 1882 over
1881, it will be dispelled by an examination Of the
figures Of freight shipments the official returns
present them. It will be seen that Sacramento
shipped of merchandise per rail in 1882 45,340l
pounds, and by water 80, 5S2, ,246 pounds; total,
II o22 1856 pounds whereas in 1881 she shipped by
rail 26,275, ,27O pounds, and by water 29,62o, 22i
rounds: total, 32, 582 246 pounds = the gain in
bounds IN 1852 being 2,O26 1872. The detail is as
follows 1.-THE figures are from December lst, 1881, to
November so, 1882:

As to prices the past has been remarkable
as has ever been known in hops. Early in the sEa-
son contracts were made for growing crops as low
as Is cents per pound. When the hops were ready
for market prices had advanced TO about so cents,
and from that figure steadily until over 81 per
pound was reached about the middle of November.
Since then reaction has set in and prices have de-
ciined to 756S0 cents There remain about $50 bales
kere yet in the hands OF growers which art, how
ever not offered at present, holders expecting prices
TO rally when the spring and summer trade
opens. The principal cause OF the extreme prices
realized for hops the past season has been the
almost total failure of the crop in England where 1t
is estimated the yield did not exceed one hundred
pounds per acre on an average. The amount OF
money that will be distributed among our growers
here this season estimate at about 81, ,00o, ,00o
Sacramento has the satisfaction OF knowing that her
product has been handled almost entirely at home,
while in former years it went largely to San Fran.
cisco. Our leading exporters have established con-
nectons with and ship direct to almost every large
city in the East and West, well as to England.
And not only is Sacramento headquarters fur her
own product, but other sections are realizing the
advantages Sacramento offers as market point OF
shipment and have commenced to send their hops
here Great preparations are being made to in
crease the acreage in hops next season, and good
many parties are going into the business OF growing
hops. From all indications now we should not be
surprised if this section would produce 900 bales
next year, and there is possibility of doubling her
last years product The chief handlers of hops in
Sacramento in 1882 were Mebius Co , Gregory l.
Co., Neubourg & Lagos, and Booth & Co.
IRON WoRKs.-The largest industry in Sacramento
is that represented by the Central Pacific Railroad
shops. The roll at the shops for 1882 was about
81 $50 600, while 800 persons have been employed
by the railroad company as against 1900 IN 1881.
The product of the industry OF the railroad shops
has been in excess of So 900 in value The pur-
chasing sgency of the company located here has
pended nearly $500 900. But as is obvious, these
figures are not carried into our total Of the citys
commerce.
LUxBER and its products have represented an in.
~
boxes, holdings, and mill work of all kinds. The
sales of hardwoods, willow and wooden ware, ETC.,
have been great, and in the matter OF wooden ware
alone the increase has beer 25 per cent over 1881

1882 was 62,770 barrels, of which 20,601 was pro-

addition to the home factory the firm have
an exter sve manufacturing branch at the

Last season this enterprisng firm, at an
expense of over $1,000, put into their

grape baskets. A large building to the
east of the main establishment is used for
this purpose. Cooke & Son, when they
added this branch to their business, said
they were going TO solve the oft-repeated
question of "what shall we do with our
boys and girls?" In this branch of
their business about seventy-five boys
and girls are employed, and over
the door of the work shop is placed

HoP GRowISG.-This important industry has made
immense progress during the past year While last
wear the total product amounted to only about
400 bales we have harvested this year npwarcs of
800 bales, gain of more than 5000 bales, or 20
per This increase largely due to the fact that
nearly every old yard had been added TO, and good
many new ones started. But besides this the sea-
son very favorable for the growth Of the vine,
and most every yard-with scare. " an exception
produced the largest crop ever harvested thereirom
The average Weld of sll the land in hops in thus
section mere than 2 200 pounds per acre; sew
eral large yards produced on an average 5000
pounds and over per acre, and we know OF single
acres producing $500 pounds In several instances
yards set out last spring produced much as 600
pounds per acre. The yield as a whole is very re-
markable, and will scarcely seem possible to OF
our Eastern and European hop-growsrs. Yet the
most remarkable of all is that the new yards
should bring such crops the first year. when
we take into consideration the fact that in
the East and Europe and even some sections on the
coast 40 cT"p at all is expected till the second year,
and the vii.es coIe into full bearing only in the
third year. The quality OF our product has been
very good, showing great improvement generally In
handling on the part of growers. AS a natural re-
suit Sacramento hops now take the lead and are
acknowledged to be second to none on the coast
1t is to be hoped that growers viii continue to
progress as they have done for the .ast few years.

Senator John Sherman, while recog-
nizing the defeat of the Republican
ticket in Ohio, does not look upon it
as q serious drawback to his party as
regards the future. He thinks it
wholly due to local causes, chiefly the
temperance question, which has agita-
ted the citizens of that state for the
past two years. He says: = attrib-
ute our defeat to complications grow
ing out of the temperance question one
month ago upon the basis of the Scott
law. | had no doubt of the election
of Judge Foraker, but it is manifest
that the attention of Republicans was
turned more and more to the contest
on the second amendment, and upon
that question we lost all the German
vote and q large conservative vote
that was not satisfied that prohibition
was advisable in Ohio. | know no
other reason for our defeat, and have
entire confidence that on general po-
litical issues the State is thoroughly
Republican. The contest on the tenn
perance question was unavoidable and
we had the misfortune to lose the
whole of the German Republican vote,
while not a single Democrat voted for
the Republican ticket in consequence
of our temperance measures. Many
thousand Democrats, no doubt, voted
for the second amendment, who yet
voted for the straight Democratic
ticket. The Democrats have carried
the Legislature and they will have the
burden of the temperance question,
and if they fail to meet the advancing
state of public opinion in Ohio on that
question, they will be defeated as we
have been. l do not think that our
defeat will have any effect on the Re-
Publican party of the country."

The Pension Lists.

Thus far the Pension Bureau has
received only one communication in
answer to the publication of names of
pensioners. In this one case the
writer mentions three persons whose
names appear in the list that he be-
lieves are not entitled to pensions.
In this case, and in all similar cases
-NHlIlGl4-IBay- ARISE the .'coDHGenJIa
communication circular" of the bureau
will be sent to the complainant. This
circular is q request for all infOrma-
ton at the command of the writer,
together with the names of witnesses
from whom evidence may be obtained.
The answers will be considered con-
fidential if the complainants so desire,
but the rights of no man will be de-
termined upon confidential communi-
cations. The case will be settled upon
by proper testimony taken in pres
enee of the claimant or with his full
knowledge. Commissioner Dudley
believes that the publication of the
list was not wise measure, as he is
informed that all pension attorneys of
this city have already begun to dis
tribute their circulars by the thousand
and are working their full Office force
night and day in mailing them to pen
siOners. Commissioner Dudley esti-
mates that each pensioner drawing
less than $40 per month will receive
from five to fifty circulars from claim
agents here urging him to apply for an
increase. The result will doubtless
be a food Of applications upon the
pension office, which will cause a de-
lay in the regular work of the bureau
and clog the progress of cases now on
file, as all applications must receive
attention. The commissioner warns
pensioners against being misled bv
the seductive circular of the claim
agent, unless they feel absolutely GER
tain that they are not receiving their
just dues at present, as a re-eXamina-
ton may result in a decrease instead
of an increase, in the pension already
being received. The attention of the
commissioner was called to an editorial
i'll a western New York paper suggest
ing that the Grand Army of the Re
public end similar organizations
should 60 over the lists of names in
their districts and ascertain, if posi-
bic, whether or not any on the list
were obtaining pensions under mis-
representations. Gen. Dudley said
the idea was an excellent one, and, if
adopted by the veteran associa-
tiOns throughout the country, it Will

tecting fraud, if any exists Wash-
