No ONE who looks at the surroundings
of Los Angeles can ignore the fact tn at
we are hemmed in on too many sides
by enormous ranchos. These fine
properties ought to be the homes of
thousands and tens of thousands of
settlers, whose industry and enterprise
would contribute to the upbuilding Of
our city. OF course. the rights of prop
erty are sacred, and nobody will accuse
us of incendiary projects when we say
that the Laguna rancho, the Rancho de

Rancho de los Bueyer and the Ranches
San Vicente y Santa Monica ought to be
cut up and placed upon the market. 1t

for dividing up the Rancho de

not be carried out any too soon.

A CREDIrABLE FAILURE.
The Maverick National Bank of Boston
Suspends.

Suspends.
Boston, Nov. 1.-The Maverick Ma
tional bank will suspend payment to-
morrow morning. The decision to close
its doors was reached after protracted
conference of the clearing house COM
mittee of the Boston National bank this
morning. 1t is stated positively that
this failure will not entail any
widespread financial evils. The
official announcement of the suspension
was made by the clearing house COM
mittee this evening, in call for meet
ing of the members of the clearing house
tomorrow morning, to take action upon
the proposition recommended by the
committee that all the banks composing
the association unite in making advances
in cash deposits in the Maverick bank.
The call states that the object of
making these advances is to relieve
the temporary embarrassment of the de-
positors until the bank is closed by the
instructions OF the comptroller of cur
rency.
The immediate cause of the suspen-
sion was the suicide of Irving
Evans, and the talk which followed
it. The loss caused the bank by
dealings with Evans is not large
enough to seriously lnjure it, being
not more than 5000, 900, but the talk OF
the street made the loss far greater.
The facts in the matter are in no sense
discreditable to Mr.. Potter. The depos-
its in the bank ten days ago amounted
to more than $10.000.000. During the
last week more than $1,700,0007 was
withdrawn. Friends of the banks
management assert that it will pay the
depositors dollar for dollar. receiver

OUR trade relations with Australia

OUR trade relations with Australia
show decided signs of expansion. We
are receiving gold in considerable guam
titles from that section and there is
activity. in other lines. The Sydney
Herald, of Oct. 5th, has the following
comments on the new movement:
The R. M. S. Alameda will sail today
for San Francisco, we'll patronized by
passengers and with large quantity OF
gold. The total shipments amount to
Al boxes of sovereigns, and the value to
e27 1863. Comparatively, the shipping
of gold to America by way OF San Fran
cisco is new feature in the outward
manifests of these vessels, and it is said
to be due to instructions from English
banks, to whom large balances of gold
are due from here, but who, having
heavy remittances to make to the
United States, advise their correspond
ents here to ship the gold direct to
America. By this means the rate of
exchange between England and the
States is saved. Some time back ship
ments of tin in considerable quantities
were made from here to the States but
recently the quantity appears to have
fallen off. Wool forms no appreciable
item of export by the American mail
steamers from Australia, despite the
efforts that have been made to intro
duce it; and only glance at the out
ward cargoes OF the mailboats hence to
San Francisco is needed to see that
there is no end of room for an expansion
of business in colonial products with
the States. In the list of cargo by the
Alameda rather uncommon item ap-
pears, namely, shipment OF opals, two
packages, valued at e400.
