nents, and the wholesale men are busy winding
up .he business of the year, SO near it's close.
The Christmas trade during the past fortnight
has ia all probability been the heaviest on rec
ord. The advertising which it has caused was
never larger here and in other cities. The ag-
gregate retail trade can be less easily measured,
but the concurrent testimony Of newspapers
everywhers is that it has been in greater volume
and larger in profit than in previous years. If
there has been less reported of extravaganza,
the average has been broader and deeper, and
in its way no better proof could be offered of
wide prosperity extending through all classes.
When it is remembered that salaries and wages
are now at the level of flush times, and food and
clothing close to the lowest winter prices
on record, it will be seen that valid reasons ex-
ist for the broad margin for free expenditure by
all classes after meeting the necessities of life
which a large Christmas trade indicates. In
prices, today, there were few fluctuations in val
ues. Eggs and butter are in good demand and
prices strong. The poultry market continues
weak. Dry goods men and boot and shoe deal
ers report their trade practically at a stand-still.
Druggists are having fair trade. Grocers are
doing something in the way of filling orders to
meet immediate requirements, Coffees and
sugars are firm; distribution light. 1t is quite
evident that retail merchants are making as few
purchases as possible until the settlements Of

STICKING TO ITS TEXT"

The San Francisco Chronicle, with its
accustomed evasion, returns to a repetition
CT It's charge that, some how some way, in
some mysterious manner, the railway com
pany is responsible for the present differ
ences in the ranks of the California fruit
growers. 1t would suffice to call attention
to the fact that it cites no proofs and relies
upon dogmatic iteration of its absurd ale
cations. But it must he noted as a signif-
cant fact that the Chronicle closes its ewes
to the trenchant resolutions of the Sacra-
mento frait-growers, in which they very
fatty give notice that they entertain no
such belief or suspicion as the Chronicle
intimates, and that the railway company
has acted in all this matter with perfect
fairness toward shippers and growers,
treating all alike. But Ia the face of this
declaration the Journal referred to returns
to the charge that the railway company
has endeavored to or has "gobbled upD the
fruit organization. Yet it is compelled to
admit the truth and logic of the statement
that the interests of railway managers are
common with those of the fruit-growers
and that these interests direct the conserv-
alton of small orchards and a multitude of
them, with consequent many shipments at
low rates, IN preference 10 large orchards
and few large shipments at high rates.
Its only response to this truism in railway
economies IS that the railway managers,
knowing their own interests are too bull
headed, stubborn and intellectually dense
to serve them. This absurd proposition it
IS expected the public will accept by viz
tue of its much iteration. The trnth is
reason teaches that the railway company
mas nothing to do, and can have nothing
to DO, with the domestic economy of the
fruit-grower organizations. The Chronicle
endeavors to befog the situation bv incul-
eating the belief that the trans2orters, for
some utterly unreasonable and wholly I'M
explainable cause, are plotting to iniur.
the very industry which that illogical
journal admits self-interest bids the
railway company to encourage and de-
velop. The reasoning of the paper in
question IS too absurd, and its attempts to
bolster its charges too puerile, to repay the
task of following it through its efforts to
fortify its position by SMILES and forced
parallels.

THE GERM THEORY.

NJ. Nerneuil of France is the latest
scientist TO take an advance step for the
benefit Of suffering humanity. He Is now
engaged in experimental inquiry into the
possibility of finding some method of at
tenuating the virus OF tubercle, with a
view to use it practically for incubation
against consumption, or as cure for the
disease. Since Pasteur has demonstrated
what may be done in like direction for
the prevention of hydrophobia, it is not
vain to entertain the hope that Verneml
may succeed in his efforts. II is the doc
trlne of Koch that consumption is trace
able to germs. He has found them in the
lungs after death The aim of Verneuil is
to take the next natural step beyond, and
ascertain how far the incubation theory
may be justified, by the introduction into
the human system of The cultivated germ,
after series of diminutions, as a means of
foftifying the body against the assaults Of
consumption. OF course nothing can now
be stated as determined in The inouirv
with accuracy, but the strides of medical
science are so unreasonable, and its as
suits so bold, that we will not be war
ranted il manifesting surprise if the en-
thusiastic Frenchman achieves the success
at which he aims. The fiat failure of the
Spanish doctor in inoculating for cholera.
and the unquestioned triumph of Pasteur
in treating hydrophobia, leaves Verneuil
fairly suspended in public opinion between
grave doubt and great hope.
