WATER FRONT NOTES.


Tug Mystic lowed the steamer 8. NJ Renton
to Port Blakeley.
Steamship Walls walla will be due from San
Francisco tomorrow.
Bark r. K. Ham has arrived in Port Blakeley
from san Francisco to load q return cargo of
lumber.
The little steam launch Jennie June is adver-
tised TO be sold by deputy United States mar
shall on February 4.
Schooner Viking finished loading her cargo
OF lumber yesterday, and will probably sail for
San Francisco today.
1t seems as though the continuous footing of
whistles in the Jog Friday brought the "hoo-
doc on the San Juan back to life again. She
blew the cylinder head out of her engine at the
head OF Port Orchard while making her fore
noon trip, and cannot be out again before to-
morrow. 1t is really remarkable the number
OF small accidents this boat has had the past
few weeks.
Steamer Henry Bailey came in from Skagit
river with cargo of hay for Tacoma and
brought back so tons of oats for Seattle; the
W. +. Muuroe had 20 tons of hay from Skagit
river; the Wasco had Is tons in and 10 tons out
on the Whateom route: the J. K. Mcdonald had
500 barrels OF lime in from San Juan islands and
80 tons OF general freight out, and the Mabel
had DO tons out on the Snohomish river route

settler are unexcelled, and the country is
practically unsettled. Townsites laid out
by the railroad and also by private parties
as long ago as last spring are still without
a house upon them, but when the railroad
is running the rush to the new country
will be unprecedented
Another section of twenty-five miles of
the road was sub-let TO the well known
contractor, Mr.. Hugh Kirkendall. at
Helena, on Monday. The work COM
mences little east of the mouth of Moses
coulee and extends along the east bank of
the Columbia rive to opposite the mouth
of the Wenatchee. It does not include the
bridge across the Columbia river, but the
trestle work on this section figures up the
total of over 5000, 600 feet. The contract,
it is estimated, will amount to about
$500. 900. There is still section between
Moses coulee and Spokane for which the
sub-contract has not been let, and nobody
but James J. Hill knows the exact route
across the Big Bend.

The Failures of 1891.

The number Of failures in 1891 was 16 per
cent larger than in 1890, but only per
cent. larger than in 1889. The number of
failures ran up to ll,62O in 1884, gradually
fell 10 2,740 in 1887, and rose to L, 1874 in
1891. The failures, examined by sections
Of the country, follow: New England,
1,7S9 against 1,4S0; Middle States, 3,OO2
against ?, 8O3; Southern, 2,4l2 against l, 655;
Western, 2,602 against $500; Northwest
ern, 1,264 against 1,l32; Pacific, 1882
against l,O32. This shows the conditions
to have been more unfavorable in the south
than elsewhere. In New York the heayi-
est failures were: Commission paper

broker S2,500,000 assets nominal. In

Improvement in Sight.

OF the finsucal outlook. Henry Clews
says: In truth the masses are prosperous,
being well psid and having cheap living.
This being SO, business must be accepted
as sound ia spite OF the complaints of small
profits. II is quite certain that no leglti-
mate cause for a serioug decline in railroad
stocks can be found, particularly while
earnings continue so satisfactory. There
IS sound reason for confidence in the values
of many railroad shares, and either naanip-
ulation or outside buying will sooner or
later assert itself. The difficulty now is in
digesting the heavy amounts OF securities
returned from Europe If this movement
continues, we may be called upon to again
export gold, as the tendency of the mer-
chandise movement is now toward in
creased imports and diminished exports.
The foreign demand for Americans will,
therefore, 5e closely watched for some
weeks to come. At the moment the mar
ket is in dull but sensitive condition.
The chances appear to favor Improvement
after the April settlements are fully COM
pleted.
H B. Hollins & Co., of New York, say:
1t must not be forgotten that the investi-
eating public moves slowly, and there has
not yet been time for anything more than a
speculative movement which has not ma
terlalized. 1t is to be noted that the supply
of money is so large that the April settle
ments have passed without producing any
appreciate effect, even temporarily, upon
the rates of interest, and the banks are un-
able to find demand for all their available
cash az rates as low as u to per cent. on
call
F. NJ Lockwood & Co., OF New York,
say: Money all over the country is easy
because the demand is not particularly
sharp General trade does not vary much
with the preponderance of opinion that it
is much duller than could reasonably have
been expected in view of the big crops.

FINANCE AND MINING

Declines.
EASTERN FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Big Ore and Bullion Ouipnt-Bank Failures
Business Prospects-News From
the Mines.

Business during the week just closed has
been very active-due, Of course, 10 the
annual conference Of the Mormon church
and the capstone exercises of the temple,
which brought in NOT less than $4,000 peo-
pie, and it may be safely said that our mer-
chants closed their safes last night with a
feeling Of profound satisfaction. The I'M
reasonable weather, which has had de-
pressing effect upon the early spring trade,
is about over, and from this time on there
will be rapid improvement in all lines.
The disappearance of the snow from the
hills of the mining camps will encourage
prospecting.
The real estate market continues quiet,
while the building trades are fairly active.
The low price of the metals keeps miners
and mine-owners in suspense. and has a
depressing effect upon this industry.
Silver men, however, are confident that
both silver and lead are sure to rise again
within very short time, when the camps
that are now suffering will resume their
Wonted activity.
