The Clearing House

committee were in session until this
afternoon. The long conference gave
the rumor bureau an opportunity to
start the report that large bank was in
trouble, and the announcement of an
issue of 81, $50, 900 of clearing house GER
tiicateS lend some strength to this re-
port. Later the amount of certificates
was said to be only 1850, 900, but at the
end of the meeting the clearing house
officials stated that the original amount
of 1.350,000 was right, Their long
session, they said, was due to the large
amount of work before them in the way
of shifting loans. caused largely by the
great depreciation in prices yesterday.
They emphatically denied the story of
bank being in trouble. and said that
every bank in the clearing house. and,
so far as they knew. every outside bank
in the city, was in good shape. Those
who met at the clearing house were all
of the opinion that the situation was
somewhat better, but still serious.
AS yet no statements have been given
out by the firm of Nicholas q Dumond,
which suspended yesterday.
Sterling exchange was demoraliZed
this morning. The posted rates were
reduced twice, the last time to 4.S11%0
4.6315. The heavy purchases of stocks
for foreign account, the stringency in
| money and the increase in the supply
of bills against grain and cotton caused
the decentralization. Actual rates are
below the gold-impOrtlng point. In ad-
dition to the gold engaged by Lazard
Freres, reported early in the day, L. Van
| Hoffman & Co. have secured 5000, 900 in
London, to be shipped Saturday; La
denburg, Thalmann q Co. and other
leading foreign houses are negotiating
| for large sums, and the announcement
that at least S1,50O,OOO additional has
been engaged for New York may be
made at any moment.

command the figures given above. The
subtreasury was S251, ,1S3 debtor at the
clearing house, of which 100000 was
paid in gold and the balance in treasury
notes. Bank officials state that the ship
ments of currency to the interior will
equal yesterdays total. The rates of
domestic exchange on New York and
interior points rather corroborate this
theory.
A feature of the days operations at
the stock exchange was the purchase
of securities for investment. The move
ment was the heaviest i'll years and did
much to steady the list. One broker
who makes a specially of trading in
small lots said that up to II O'Clock he
had sold 100000 worth of broken lots.
There are at least dozen other brokers
in this line, and it is fair to
assume that they did their share of the
business. ltseemed as il the ticker would
never stop recording trades in odd lots.
These purchases are unusually impOr-
tant now, as it means that just so much
stock is being taken out of the street
and put in tin boxes. The investor
abroad has also awakened to the fact
that some American securities are worth
having, and, in consequence, every
London house here had orders to buy.
The cable was kept busy all day long
with orders and reports of purchases.
Up to l O'Clock conservative estimates
put the foreign purchases at 10000
shares, including st. Paul, Erie, Atchl
son, Louisville SS Nashville, Northern
Pacific common and preferred, Ontario
& Western, Norfolk & Western pre-
ferred. Saturdays European steamers
. will take out over $4,000 shares of vari-
Gus stocks.

Mr.. Peel thanked the leaders and Mr..

Il have arrived at the conclusion that

who used the words did SO in the heat

If it ever constructs any, which is ex-
tremely doubtful, will not be extended to
any point having any opportunity for
competition with that city. San Fran
cisco does not propose the construction
of railroad to Los Angeles; it wants
such construction delayed.
Let the good work go on and let every
part of the State have its natural heritage
of trade. Eureka, on Humboldt Bay,
wants railroad communication with the
Sacramento Valley in the most direct
way. Monterey wants direct railroad
communication with the heart of the San
Joaquin Valley. Los Angeles wants
railroads extending into the interior be-
hind it, and the deep sea harbor, which it
is sure TO have in the early future, will
make it Independent of all other ports.
San Francisco proposes to construct rail
roads connecting itself with the interior.
Let all these be constructed. In short,
let California illustrate her vitality by the
construction of lines of communication
everywhere. and prosperity will crown
all these efforts.

THE DIVE CONTEST.

San Francisco Supervisors have passed
and are now enforcing an anti-dive ordi-
nance, law refusing licenses to keepers
of dives. The dive proprietors have
formed an association, raised a large
purse and declare that they will resist the
ordinance through the courts.
This is gratifying, for it is very de-
sirable TO learn from the bench whether
municipalities can legally enact such
ordinances. If the courts decide that the
ordinance is not constitutional, it will
clear the way for the passage of another
which may be free from error. If it is
determined that no ordinance can hold
that discriminates in the granting OF
licenses, then we will know precisely
where to apply remedy for the weak
ness, since it must be possible for
municipal corporations to Iegislate in
these matters of police regulation against
influences that are dangerous to the COM
munity and opposed to peace and good
that the San Francisco ordinance is uu-
constitutional because it prohibits women
from following vocation that is open to
men. But if this is their only reliance
they trust to a reed, since an ordinance
can be framed that will avoid the obiec-
ton taken.
Another clause of the ordinance re-
fuses licenses for places where the
atrical or musical entertainment is
given and wines or liquor sold. As tc
this the diye-keepers say, if enforced, il
will close up tho small theaters and
music halls not dives, but where liquor:
are sold, and hence they seek to enlist
all such places under their banner.
1t is estimated that l,70O women an6
$500 men are employed nightly in the

THE GRAVEL ROAD QUESTION

An intelligent correspondent in yester-
days RECORD UNION thinks our strict
ures upon gravel for streets and high
ways too sweeping. He holds that good
macadam, five and half inches thick on
Sacramento streets, would be lost in a
| heavy winter. That would not be the
| case with the substructure properly pre-
pared; most failures in road building are
chargeable to insufficiently packed and
properly selected substructure, as well as
bad surfacing.
Our correspondent insists that pure,
red cement gravel, laid on hard rolled
bed, six inches on the sides and eight at
the crown, finished off with crushed
! gravel or rock, will give cheaper road
way than, and one as satisfactory as mac
cadam. What he describes is a species of
Inacadam; it demands broken stone for
the surfacing. That has been the chief
contention ofthe RECoRD-UNIoN that a
gravel surface is bad, no matter how good
=
never crushes under wheel contact, but
forever turns and grinds out the surface.
There is not a graveled street in Sacra-
mento, or in any other city, that loose
stone is not found at all times upon its
surface, stone that is notionly useless but
an impediment, and that cost much
c.nnI - 70
out one cent of compensation.
Even on the good graveled streets to
which our correspondent refers loose
pebble and stone deposit is to be found.
The County Hospital road, cited as an
example of good gravel, always has been
peppered over with this loose round
stone, and it has also been the subject of
repeated repairing.
Call the construction for which we con-
tend macadam, or by any other name, we
claim that true economy demands the
rejection of round stone, large or small
pebble or cobble from all street and road
surfacing. For the good road is some
thing more than the mere hard surface
that does not cut up under winter travel.
1t is the road with the smooth surface as
! resistance to the wheel: that presents
fewest objects of contact; that enables the
largest loads to be most speedily moved;
that requires the least expenditure Of
motive power to propel the vehicle; that
least makes uncertain the placing of the
horses hoof that, while costing most in
the outset, calls for least expense of re-
pairing, has the longest life and does
not itself furnish the means for routing
out holes that become ruts; finally, the
road that produces least dust and there
fore lessons the cost of sprinkling.
Nothing that our correspondent offers
in defense of good gravel, honestly
laid," convinces US that as good or as
cheap a roadway can be made with it
as with well-broken stone, the stone
being of the right kind and properly
crushed, bedded and underlaid by a good
substructure. Mr.. McClintock, the High
way Engineer referred to in a former
article, does not base his conclusions in
favor of fmacadam wholly upon experience
in bodybuilding in Massachusetts. On
the contrary, he is student of the sub
ject. and he treats it comprehensively and
from full knowledge of experiments,
successes and failures along the whole
line and history Of road making.
The record-union., 1893-05-27

law, and their resistance is not thing to
be treated cavalierly, for behind them is
very large capital dependent upon their
vocation for the rewards it receives for
supplying the dives.
The struggle now on between the San
Francisco authorities in the effort to sup
press public vice and immortality as
typifed by the dives, and the keepers of
these foul places, viii be watched with a
great deal of interest. Its outcome will
determine the policy to be pursued to-
wards like nuisances sought to be abated
IN all the lesser cities of the State.
