Francisco, which took a sudden drop about
a month ago, is said to be looking up con-
siJerably. The fall in prices was caused by
the rush of Oregon products to that mar
ket, and in consequence ofthe glut, half of
those who shipped lost by the transaction.
Some OF the shipments actually rotted be-
fore a disposition could be made OF them.
One farmer in the interior, who sent aboat

about ten cents per sack when settling up

Insurance COMPANIES The Lake.

les like this: "The San Francisco ChyoHi
Gle is making 1t decidedly warm for the in.
surance compact on this coast. The rates
are simply outrageous, and nothing more
than robbery, andl us poor devils east .soi
the Cascades are still further robbed by
being obliged to pay fifty per cent advances
on exposures. We would rejoice greatly II
this robbing insurance compact could bc
broken"
