FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Quotations Of Staple Products in the
Leading Markets
Stocks and Bonds-New York Financial
Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock
er& Co.
NEW YORK. Jan. 9.


There was little feature to the early car
ket today excepting dullness and some
what heavier tendency due TO the lower
quotations from London, where a less
optimistic view appears TO have been
reached regarding the prospects of sound
financial legislation by Congress. The sup
preston of the report of the American
sugar. refining was accepted by traders with
that perspicascity sometimes shown in
Wall street as bull point, it reing assumed
that either there were profits it would not
be advisable to reveal in the present att1-
tude OF Congress or that losses existed
which would not become known to the public
in the absence Of a published.report. The
virtual defeat of the Carlisle currency bill
by the vote in the House of Representatives
was also received favorably on the theory
that the country could better endure
existing currency evils than ''fiy to others
that we know not Of" 1t was on no
stronger arguments than these. apparently
that the rally in the market was based.
Independent strength was. shown By
Chicago gas under large buying to cover
short contIacts.s although it is believed that
a considerable short interest is still left
outstanding. The death of the Carlisle bill
which is now regarded as fact resulting
from the action OF the House certainly
removes a measure which was considered
pernicious in principle and dangerous in its
consequences. but it leaves the currency
problem still unsettled and mnaecing. sThe
outlook for any effective legislation on the
financial question: must be conceded to be
dark, and SO long as solicitude is felt both
here and abroad with regard to the currency
situation We can see little prospect OF any
sustained improvement. The resumption Of
gold exports is apparently the next import
ant influence which the market will be
called upon to meet and if the shipments on
Saturday reach considerable amount, as
now seems probable we are inclined to ex-
pect that prices will suffer declines.

HONESTY PAYS.

The farmer who is content with
average crops sold in the average con-
dition must expect only average prices.
He who produces anything and puts it
on the market in prime condition IS
the one who is going to make sales
first and get top prices. The average
man comes along later. No matter
what you have to sell put it in the best
possible condition for market and see
to it that you can adopt the same
motto that We once saw in a barrel
of apples in the east. When the head
was taken out of that barrel there Was
exposed q printed slip which said:
This package was produced and

tees that when you see the top you see
the whole" The commission man
told us that he never had any trouble
with anything that man sent in for his
reputation had been made. He not
only packed his fruits and vegetables
in the best manner, but sorted the
sizes, and when the package was
opened the buyer knew just what to
expect from top to bottom. We know
a farmer who takes his grain to mar
tells him to, and IS then asked how
many bushels he had. His grain is
never looked at nor weighed by the
man who has bought it for years; if it
is not in good condition he insists on
inspection, but if he knows it is all
right he unloadS and gets his pay. A
remit atiOu of that kind is worth more
than a good farm, for it brings Il
greater return. Honesty is not only
the best policy, out it is absolutely
necessary to final success. Careless
ness is the costlieSt habit a farmer can
fall into, and trickery, while it may
seem to succeed for time, must cost
more than it comes to in the end.

TRAIL UP SHASTA MOUNTAIN.

AS we rode down the ridge, the for
est opened on either side, making a
natural lane some three miles long.
We named this lane 1.-The Avenue."
During the trip down this highway we
stopped often for views. We saw
where immense slides had taken place
on the opposite side of the canyon,
and in looking back toward the noun
tain we got a grand view Of Mud
Greek canyon. From here We CD
tanned the finest view of Shasta 20 be
observed from any point; clear-cut,
stately, and without intervening hills.
This view is here presented to ehe
world for the first time, and l !rust
some artist may go there to paint it.
Deer and other game make their
home near 1.-The Avenue" undis-
turbed. Their tracks and sleeping
places are on every side, but we made
so much noise that only three deer
We're seen.
FINALLY we left the timber, and
reached the chaparral, which seemed
to present a barrier to farther pro-
gress. Manzanita growing thickly
from three to eight feet high stood
before US, not to mention ceanothus,
