made from this point, and the largest and
latest shipments of produce into the Ter.
ritories are made by Sacramento produce
dealers.
Second-For agricultural implements it
is the best market, because it is the nearest
point to the place of supply from which
such bulky goods come. They are stored
here at nominal expense and shipped at
less cost for freight and handling than from
any other point, while the centrality of the
city gives dealers in this lire advantages
over any other market. The fact sustains
the argument, for Sacramento is the safest
and largest agricultural implement depot
on the coast, as is shown by the amount of
sales and the vast area of its trade.
ird-Manufacturers of wagons and
farm implements, buggies, carriages and all
wheeled vehicles, find that goods of this
class, put up in this dry climate, endure
far better in all other climates than those
constructed where humidity of the air is
great and prevalent. So, too, those who
ship made goods of this class here, find
storage in Sacramento t. benefit their
goods and facilitate their trade. What is
said of carriage material applies also to all
classes of furniture, as regards climatic in
fuence, while dealers as we'll as manufact.
urers enjoy the advantages of direct i'm.
portation of made stock and material to as
full an extent as do grocers and general
merchants in their lines.
Fourth-In all lumber and woodwork
lines the climatic influence is found to be
material factor of profit Woodwork, such
as fruit-boxes, holdings, sash. doors,
blinds, ETC., put up here of dry lumber
best procured here-are lighter for ship
ment, more satisfactory to purchasers and
more profitable to the makers. Hence,
trade in ruit-boxes, berry. chests, etc,
comes by preference to Sacramento from
Santa Clara and other valleys, directly
under the influence of nearer source of
supply.
FREIGHT SHIPMENTS.
If doubt is entertained regarding the
material increase of trade in 1883 over
that of 1882, it will be expelled by an ex-
animation of the figures of freight ship
ments by rail as the official returns present
them. 1t will be seen that Sacramento
shipped of merchandise. exclusive of lead,
during 1883, 81. 1856. $40 pounds, while in
1882 it amounted to but 22,5S9, 740
pouuds-an increase of 4, 796, $50 pounds,
or over 81 per cent. The total shipments
by river are estimated to be 80, $50. 200
pounds. Total merchandise shipments
from Sacramento for 1888, SO, 96S, $40
pounds gain over the shipment of 1882
of nearly 100000 pounds.

A..
Notwithstanding the failure of the fruit
crops in Ell Dorado and Placer counties,
and the partial failure of the grape crop
throughout the valley, L,36S, l20 pounds
more of green fruit was shipped during the
year 1888 than during the preceding year.
This is owing entirely to the high reputa-
ton that Sacramento fruits have gained in
the East.
The shipments Of canned fruits were L.
24l $50 pounds in excess of the preceding
year. an increase of over 200 per cent. The
amount of canned honey, salmon and vege.
tables also shipped is greater than that of
any former year, and from the present IA
cilities it is assured in 1884 to be twice
that of the present year. The number of
laborers employed in the gardens, orchards,
VINEYARDS and canneries is constantly IL
creasing, new orchards and vineyards are
being get out, the old ones enlarged, and
the constantly increasing demand for Cali
fornia fruits indicates that this industry
will be leading one for all time to come,
and cannot but materially affect the tinan-
cial standing and business importance of
Sacramento.
ITS BUSINESS.
The business of Sacramento has the tos-
tering care OF Board Of Trade; its busl-
ress men are united both in purpose and
labor, and the relations toward each other
are of a character to strengthen the GEM
mercial interest. Real estate is held less
for speculative purposes than for occu-
psncy. During the past year real estate
values have been steadier, business
property has been in greater demand, and
rents on the principal streets have appre'
ciated. Prices for desirable business prop
erty have advanced from 10 to 20 per cent.
Money has been quite plentiful and has
rated at from J to 9 per cent on good
security. Outside property (say east OF
Tenth street, has increased IN value from
10 to % per cent. A large number OF
business blocks haze been erected,
business property throughout the city i'm
proved, banking business has been active
and profitable, labor has been plentiful
and welltcompensated, manufacturers have
increased the volume of their products,
additional capital has been put into bust
ness. and new firms been added to the
commercial circle. The jobbing trade is
on tirmer basis that at any time IN the
past, and the efforts of rival markets, both
home and foreign, to weaken the volume
of trade and divert it from the city have IN
every instance been unsuccessful. Houses
that report a decrease in the volume OF
business may be counted on the fingers OF
ones hand, and those that report neither
loss nor advancement are few, while but
one material failure is reported.
1t has been the custom for many years
of this journal to make accurate calcula.
tions, based upon expositions of CONNER
cial statistics by the principal business
houses of Sacramento, of the volume Of |
trade. Thus, after lsborious collation.,
commercial transactions are shown to be |
as follows:

a NEW ORDER OF THINGS.

Her old supremacy, the result of necessity,
passed away, the people were free to
choose their market place, and Sacramento
for the first time was placed in the lists for
legitimate commercial encounter. But the
spirit which bore her through fire and food
was equal to the occasion. The transition
period was brief but bitter, and the
business OF the city came out of the
test ordeal confident, self-reliant and
determined, and since conquered a
victory upon the basic principles of CON-
merce and trade. How this has been
done is a matter of history which may be
recited with pardonable pride. In its
statement we have been careful to deal
with no mere theories, but to draw every
conclusion from sober fact. We have been
cautious to permit no enthusiasm to mis-
lead the judgment, but have gathered to-
getAer statistical statements which cannot
be gainsaid, and have based conclusions
upon actualities accompanied by indubita-
bic proofs. The business men of Sscra.
mento, and the more thoughtful of her
citizens not engaged in trade, began to con-
slider her position the moment it was found
that she must meet with sharp competition
and contend for trade. They recalled the
fact that it is the contributing trade which
supports town; that this must be Sc.
cured, and that what Sacramento already
had must be retained, if she was to adj
vance to prosperous future. This trade
could only be had by convincing large
number of the people nearest to Sscra.
merto that this market was the best for !
them. This could not be accomplished IN.
less indeed il was the best.

a wonderful woman. Up to her death
in 1869 at cighty-fvc, four years after
her husband, she could read without

Her voice was most CHEEKY, musical and

in spite of very evident wig she was n

her left hand, and pronounced gold

A POINT FOR POETS.

Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph
The poet stood at the EDITORS door,
And nervously there did he knock;
He'd knocked at that door so often before
His rap did the editor shock.
"What! you here againF' as the door swung
wide
"And another poem, by jng"
"Ah! yes; am guilty" the poet sighed.
s'The subject" "A Welcome to Spring"
"Now bring me hither my trusty shotgun,
And right hastily bar yon door;
Poetical license It's course has run
He shall write Spring poems no more.
But what name Is this that doth meet my
view,
Affixed TO this emanation:
'Fry,s the Hindoo poet Hoolabaloo-
Avery correct translationE"
Just an experiment" !" was the reply.
For IL my own name should sign,
The public would pass my poetry by
Without stopping TO read line"
The editor pondered, he scratched his head,
Then said to the printer SO gray:
.sBe sure that this poem YOU double-lead-
We don't get such things ev'ry day"
Next day twas publishcd-the critics went
wild
"such pathos we rarely perceive"
Whercai the editor loitiiy smiled,
While the poet laughed ia his sleeve
The moral is plain' Go where yeu all Y
known;
lfyOu hope for honor or fame;
Or the next best plan is to drop your own
And adopt someone else's name.

the arrest at Blyth of man charged
with offering counterfeit money for
sale. His arrest was brought about by
Mr.. Nichol, a reporter for the Hamilton
Spectator. True, there was nothing
very mysterious or very intricate in the
case. Still there is the fact that man
had for months been counterfeiting
money for sale. The official constables
and detectives had failed to put stop
to his practices. OF course, we must
not assume yet that the man arrested is
guilty. He is as yet only committed
for trial, and it will not do to assume
his guilt till he has been proven guilty.
Perhaps it will not be safe to infer that
the official detectives may be dispensed
with, and the ferreting out of crime be
left to newspaper reporters. But the
latter will do good if they do no more
harm than put the REGULARS" on their
mettle.
