VIEW OF TR A DE IN SOUTH
ERN CALIFORNIA.

Business conditions throughout the
country still remain generally unsatisfac-
tory. The price movement for leading
staples is a little more favorable, but
want of sufficient demaud for mRnufsc-
tured products still retarde actual lui-
provement. The money market Is grow
ing easier and the rise In the price OF
bonds strengthen public confidence,
the volume of domestic trade, as re-
flected in the clearing house returns,
was larger than that of last year, bnt
fell % per cent below the same month
10 '93.
La southern California on the whole
the business outlook is brighter. The
improved condition of the orange marke,
and the coming of the long retarded
rains have been conductive OF better
feeling throughout the district.
Oranges are moving rapidly. Good
demand, and satisfactory prices prevail
iug.
Lemons are lower, under the influence
of large foreign impoTtstions.
There is little or no impr vements ln

still light. Prunes only show any

In a careful review of the South Afric-
40 situation, the editor of the Review OF
Reviews exposes IN the March number
the unreasonable nature Of some OF the
demands made by the "Uitlanders" Oh
Preeldens Kruger's government. The
"reforms" in that government are de-
manded, it is shown, by men who retain
their allegiance to Great Britain or the
United States, ss the case may be, and
do not intend to become in good faith
citizens In the Trsnsv. al. Although
they claim that they are made to bear
an undue proportion of the burden OF
taxation. it appears that the Transvasl
government gets comparatively small
share Of the wealth of the gold mines;
most OF it goes to the "Uitlanders." 1t
is true that the Beers have thus far
failed to provide English schools in
Johannesburg, but IN most non English
speaking countries 1t has always been
customary for English-speaking colon
lists to provide English instruction at
their own expense. This difficulty will
probably be removed, however, in due
time, without recourse to any radical
change iu the government. Both Amer
leans and Eng ishmen have been freely
permitted to enter the Transvaal and
engage in mining. This clsmor for q
change 10 the institutions OF what is to
them still foreign country. albeit an
ospitable one, comes with bad grace
from these adventurous aliens.

A WASHINGTON letter OF March 9th

preeentstives in the house and senate
do about Mr.. Clevelsnd's reference t.
them as being citizens OF "badly-reg-
ulatei municipalities, corrupt and
unsafe territories, and undesirable
states" in his speech to the Preebyte
ran Home Missionary meeting IN New

able reception should he visit any OF
them. The house found it necessary TO

un-Americsn speeches ID Great Britain;
would now be in order for both house
and senate to ceneure Mr.. Cleveland for
having made sn un-American speech 10
New York. 1t only adds to the insult
that the Objectionable language should
have been us-d as an argument in favor
of home missions, which are naturally
favored by almost every body. The
real grievance which Mr.. Clevelsnd has
against those people is that they have
never agreed with him r his policies

Work On The Breakwatsr.-
The Arkansas Harbor &

The conditions at Aransan Pass sre at
this time more satisfactory to the people
than at any time before. The work Of
trackiaying on the terminal railroad COM
menced on Mordsy, and though inter-
rupted by the heavy rains, has been car
ried out TO the first cut, where the long
p le bridge ls almost completed. The
pile driver will be transferred to the Sc
cond cut. which will be bridged 10 few
days, and the track will then be laid to
the end OF the grade, opposite Hsrbor
Island. This work Will doubtless be
completed within ten days, and then
there should be wharf built at Catfish
Bend, to facilitate the shipment of rock
for the breakwater, and the receipt of
cargoes of lum Der for the extensive build
ing operations in Arkansas Pass.
The terminal railroad will be pushed
without cessation to the dockage front
on Harbor Island, where the docks will
be QUILT and perpetrators made 10 handle
commerce at the earliest possible date.
Ii these shipping facilities were now
provided, Arkansas Pass would occupy a
stronger posi- ion than any other Texas
port, the derth OF water across the bar
being made greater than that upon
which Galveston was built up. but
when the terminal 10 completed, there
will be greater depth of water across
