Nmports and Exports for the Year.
Comparative Statements.
The figures showing the imports and
exports at this port for the past year are
4abulated below. While i'll some cases
they 10 not reach the amount of the
boom vears of 1878, they are above the
average for ordinary years. In the re-
ceipts Df coal it will be understood that
the Southern Pacific Company laid in a
large yupply the latter part of last year,
which had material effect in lessening
the receipts for this year.
Theamount of lumber received during
the first part of the present year was
light, hut the past two months furnish
figureswhich are above the average per
monthfor the preceding years. A large
supply was left in the yards throughout
che country, and when building was
practically stopped the imports were
stopped also. This supply has been ex-
haustel, and from now on there will be
q greater demand for lumber, and the
figuresof the past few weeks will be con-
tinued In this, as in other cases,
business is settling down to its legitimate
level.
The figures for merchandise have
fallen off some, owing to the reduced
amount of travel and the absence of the
heretofore large class of tourist travel !;
anothel cause is the greater attention
that is being given to home productions
all over Southern California. In this,
too, is sen the effect of the boom, as be-
fore 1881 the amount of grain exported
was muca greater than it has been since
that date

of various commodities for each month,

CUSTOM HOUSE FIGURES.

Hon. Geo. Kinds, Collector of Customs
for this port, and Deputy Collector Frank
Ellis, have kindly furnished us the fol-
lowing figures, showing the amount col,
lected for the present calendar year and
the amounts for the past three fiscal
years. No comment on the figures is
needed, as they speak more for the i'm,
portsnce of this port than words could
speak. 1t will be seen there is falling
off for the latter part of this year. but
the same result has been experienced at
all the ports on this Coast. The last
fiscal year compares well with the boom
years. The following table gives the
monthly collections and the sum total
for the present wear:

THE PEkALTA GRANT,
COmr. Croft Holds that No Such "A Grant
Was Made.

WASHINGTON, Feb. commissioner
''olf OF the general land office has rem
dered decision in the celebrated PoraIta
Eiant case in Arizona, in which he holds
that no grant OF the character claimed
was ever made.
He has decided against tle claimants
on every point and orders the case
stricken from the surveyor generals
docket
This claim has been for many wears be-
lore the department and embraces about
100000 acres in the central part of Ari.

In letter to the surveyor general the
commissioner says:
"GOu have asCertained the facts in the
case and report there is no claim under
the laws, usages and customs of Spain
and Mexico; and furthermore the present
petitioners have no connection with the
alleged grantee. Reavis at first based his
alleged rights upon the purchases from
certain individuals, but that chain of title,
through mesne conveyances, he has vol
unfairly abandoned. 1t seems as unten-

SAN Francisco, Feb. 24.-The rainfall
in this city and vicinity Saturday night
WAS the heaviest known for long time,
amounting to nearly two inches. The
cutters became small rivers, and un-
fortunate pedestrians were soaked by the
downpour. The storm is not considered
over. The seasons total rainfall in this
city to date now nearly equals that Of
the famous season OF 1862, the year of
Sacramento's great food. The records
show that thirty-nine inches of rain fell
here during that season. Up to the
present date the same record for this
season gives total of thirty-seven
inches, or only two inches less than the
season of 1862. The heaviest rains in
that season were in January, over two
feet being recorded here, contrasted with
only six inches last month. The heavy
rains generally cease with the present
month, only light showers prevailing
usually in March and April, when the
rain ceases entirely.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-The Western
Watchman, a prominent Catholic weekly
journal OF this city, prints to-day letter
from Roman correspondent, in which
he says: "The congregation of the Uni
versal lnquisition has issued decree,
signed by Cardinal Monanco, and pub
lished in the official organ of the vatican,
abolishing the Lenten fast and abstinence
this year. This is extended to the whole
world, wherever ordinaries shall judge
the Gispensation necessary. The reason
Tor setting aside the Lenton obligation, it
is claimed, is on account of the prevailing
influenza, which is making such ravages
in all parts of Europe and thought it to be
prevalent in the United States. This de-
cree, it is SAID, will be quite surprise to
Roman Catholics, as it is stated to be the
first one of the kind ever issued in the
history of the church.
