A GLUTTED COAL MARKET,
Over Eighty Thousand Tons Have
Arrived During the Past
Week.
Merchants Say That Prices Will Not
Be Any Lower in Conse-
quenee.

The coal market is glutted and the mer-
chants are wondering what they will do
with their heavy stocks during the next
fortnight. The chances are that some OF
them will not be able to handle all the car
goes that are now in the bay awaiting
their order, and in that event they will
have to pay demurrage to the owners of
the vessels.
During the week ending at Ii AS o'clock
last night over thirty steamers, ships and
barks entered at this port coal laden.
! These represent consignments OF nearly
IS, 900 tons of the black diamonds, and as
nearly all the vessels are chartered to load
wheat the masters are anxious to get out
and away again.
The great bulk of the coal came from
Swansea, that port being represented by
ten ships who's cargoes aggregate 10000
tons. The next port on the list is New
castle, n. S. W., and then comes Nanaimo,
Departure Bay, Glasgow and Cardiff. Be-
sides there are now at least dozen other
coal-laden vessels due from Europe and
Australia which will arrive during next
week. The article from Puget Sound will
continue pouring in, and coal merchants
have lively time ahead OF them.
The average consumption of coal in San
Francisco is sc, 900 tons week and great
deal of this comes from the Sound mines.
The Swansea coal is used principally for
steaming and gas purposes, and the New
castle coal almost altogether OH steamers
and by blacksmiths. 1t will thus be seen,
with $4,000 tons in port and $4,000
tons more due to arrive at any time, what
awaits the owners.
The great trouble in the matter will be
the finding of docks for the big feet. AL
most all the berths are taken up and
several of the ships will have to await tn ,ir
turn. The ships consigned to John Rosen-
fields Sons, the Oregon Improvement Com
| pany and j. D. Spreckels Bros. Company
will fare all right. The two former have
their bunkers, into which they can unload
a ship of 5000 tons in few days. The
Spreckes ships will go principally to the
sugar refinery and the gas works and few
of the others will sell loads to the Southern
Pacific Company.
Among the rest of the dealers 1t will be
q scramble for dockage facilities.
j. G. Wilson does not think that any OF
the owners of cargoes will have to pay
demurrage, while Henry Rosenfeld IS not
SO sure about it. Anyhow they are both
certain that the price of coal will not be
| lower this winter, and that is what princi-
| pally interests the householders. Accord
ing to them there is glut just now, blu,
the whole fleet will soon be in and then
the overstock will soon be reduced.

morning hour, when the professor walks
through the great common hall in which
all the "aspirants' work.
The men rise when he enters and listen
attentlvely to his criticisms. They never
meet him on more intimate terms than
this, except at the annual dinner to which
eash ateller invites its professor.
The length of time necessary for the
student to spend in the Antique" de-
ponds wholly upon the ability he has. 1t
may be two weeks. 1t may be two months.
Some day the master tells the student
that ne may leave the Antique" for the
atelIer, where they draw from the living
model.
The teaching is both practical and
theoretical. The practical part is given In
the, various studios eleven in number)
under the superintendent of noted pro-
lessor.
The theoretical course consists of
lectures on subjects useful to students
such as history, literature, archaeology,
esthetlcs, anatomy, perspective, geom-.
building. French students must be be-
tween the ages of Is and 80, but for
foreigners there is no age limit.

teaching OF painting, sculpture, engraving,

Prix Atelier where French students may
strive for the Prix de Rome, which gives
the happy winner five years of study in
Rome at the expense of the Government.
Since 1850 all the prizemen have been COM

''Mr. Stacy came to me-" said Pound
that he had pet mare which had devel-
oped an incurable disease. He asked me
if | would have it killed for him, as he
could not nerve himself up to the task of
killing her himself.

TREES FOR EAST STREET.
Harbor Commissioner Chadbourne
Wants the West Side
Planted.
Property.Owners Will Have to Pay
the Preliminary Ex-
penses.

Park Superintendent McLaren paid q
visit to the water front yesterday and in
spected the trees that have been planted
along East street by the Harbor Commits
sioners. Out of the lot he only found one
that had died.
"Al the rest are doing splendidly," said
he. land the next time l see Commits
sioner Chadbourne 1 am going to compile
ment him. The trees have held their own
well, and next season you Will be able to
almost see them grow.
"To make the street look uniform, how
ever, there should be a row OF trees on the
other side, and they should not be planted
only a few blocks, but the scheme should
be to run them from the Preside to the
Potrero, and then East street would be
one of the finest avenues in San Fran
CISCO"
After the inspection Superintendent Nc
Laren returned to the park, and few
minutes later Commissioner Chadbourne
was seen coming down the gangplank OF
the steamer Santa Rosa. He had Just re-
turned from Los Angeles. When told
what Superintendent McLaren had said
about the trees he chuckled and said:
"Why, I'm working on that scheme
now, but the property-owners must do
their share. Assessor Siebe has furnished
me with all the information l require, and
now l know every landlord and agent who
owns property on East street.
ITO each one of them L will address a
circular letter setting forth what l want.
1t will cost a dollar front foot to plant
those trees, and that means from $25 to
$50 from each property-owner. If they
cannot afford that they cannot afford %
cents. If the property-owners will pay
this small amount then we will take over
the trees and guarantee to keep them alive
and in good condition.
"a few days after 1 have sent out my
circulars J. am going to make personal
canvass of each owner and agent, and
think 1 will meet with success. r. d.
Chandler, the coal merchant, is enthusiasts
tic over the scheme, and l expect to find
the majority in the same frame of mind.
The only people l expect any difficulty
from are owners who live in Europe, and
have agents out here to manage their es-
tates. But even they, I think, will come
to terms, and then next year you will see
fine row of trees on both sides of East
street from the ferries to Lombard street."

THE DEMOCRATIC EX-CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS is FOR SILvER-A
SLASHING OF PARTY LINES.
From the Minneapolis Penny Press.
Jas W. Lawrence who two years ago
headed the Democratic ticket for congress
has some pretty vigorous opinions on the
questions of the day. Talking with the
Penny Press" this morning MIR. Law
renee showed that he was in full accord
with the silver men. He expects to see
a grand smashing of party lines in the
campaign of '96. ut looks said Mr. Law
renee, "as If the extreme gold standard
men would be in control of the Republican
convention, in which case the silver men,
or those opposed to any straddle such as
John Sherman seems heading for, as indi-
Gated in his talk about all kinds of money,
may be expected to withdraw from the
convention. AS to the Democrats, it looks
like the silver element would be in con-
troll, in which case the gold men will be
apt to pull out.
well, where are these silver men go
ing?"
THAT depends. There is something
very catchy to the masses In some of the
Peoples Party principles. Should control
of that party drop into a conservative
course, maintaining such doctrines only
as will be conceded safe and wise, why
will not these silver men go to them?"

FLOUR SITUATION.

With a. large percentage of the flour
milling capacity shut down, reasonable
freight rates to Eastern points and a
very marked scarcity of winter wheat
-four in the chief distributing points in
the East, and with prices at level which
makes spring wheat patent flour the
cheapest article relatively, on the mar
ket, milers are fin Sing it difficult to keep
out from under accumulations. For
some little time the trade doing has been
made up entirely of small orders for flour
to go into immediate consumption, and
millers have not been able to do any for
ward business at any reasonable price
Buyers have generally accepted the sit
uation SO far as prices are concerned, but
they are in no hurry to buy. They did
we'll enough when they started on the
last boom by buying enough flour at
about $3.50 to keep the mills running a
month to turn out. Those -four dealers
who did not sell against their purchases
certainly made money, but the amount
they took in was more than they cared
to hold after the price at the mills adj
vanced to 81, so they have since been
selling to their less fortunate brothers in
trade at prices. less than the latter could
buy for at the mills, with wheat costing
around SOC here. This sort of thing con-
tinues and millers find themselves COM
peting with their own flour everywhere,
and at a considerable disadvantage so
! far as cost is concerned. Not being able
| to decry the competing article, they are
| obliged to await a time when these sur
pluses will be cleared up and that will
probably be several weeks yet.
Another good boom in wheat would no
| doubt cause a repetition of this sort of
| trade. but it may be doubted that the
millers will again allow the wheat to so
| far get away from the -four prices quoted.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR ICE.

Chicago has been interested this week
by some experiments with a new chemi-
cal compound designed to take the place
of ice. The chemical costs 20 cents
pound. 1t is placed in the ice box Of
refrigerator. small amount OF water is
added to cause it to dissolve: the refrig-
orator is then closed and cold results i'm
mediately.
The inventor says that the compound
contains II ingredients and the formula
is a secret. The mixture Is light pink in
color, and is in the form OF crystals like
coarse salt. 1t is said to be perfectly
harmless and has an alkaline taste
When moistened it instantly becomes in
tensely cold. This effect lasts "A hours
or until the crystals are entirely dis
solved. Then 1t is placed on fire and
boiled down. until the water evapor-
ates and the CRYSTALS are left in their or
iginal form. 1t is then. ready for use
again by simply adding fresh water. It
is asserted that the chemicals lose none
Of their properties by the process, and
that the crystals can be used for years.
During the Chicago tests Ice was
in few minutes. and to the thickness
Of two or three inches in less than six
hours. The experiments were successful
in every way, and ice dealers ought to
be particularly interested in them. There
is little doubt that before many years
a refrigerating apparatus will be devised
by which houses may be cooled In sum-
mer as easily as they are now warmed in
winter. The new refrigerating COM
pound may be an important factor in the
solution Of the problem.
