to farm-out the business as they had been
doing on the water front.

necessary bills. There is no means of
knowing what Goodall, Perkins & Co.
make out of the privilege of supplying
ships, but have been told from $65 600 to
100000 year. They pay the Spring
Valley Water Company 81, 800 per month,
and [ don't imagine that corporation
would let the other concern get such fat
draw-down.
"Now I am told that the vessels out in
the bay take comparatively little water.
They don't use much during the few days
they are at anchor; consequently | can't
see why the Spring Valley people
cannot supply the ships at the docks with
out sending their water through another
company. The middleman business is
not commendable. Two members of the
Grand Jury were here yesterday and said
that the Spring Valley people offered to
supply vessels directly from their mains.
No, think the whartingers and collectors
on the front could, after the service was
gotten down to system, attend to the
hydrants and hose. But as for that mat
ter the Spring Valley Company could en-
ploy an inspector or two to distribute
water to vessels, and would save money if
the Goodall, Perkins people now make
$50, 600 out of it. think some arrange
ment will be made to eliminate the mid
dleman altogether. As it is, the State will
take the initiative in dealing directly with
the water company"

lieutenant Hough, acting commander of
the Adams, visited the Cristoforo Colombo,
ana Italian Consul Grimaldi was among the
first to arrive. He welcomed Captain Ber-
tolino on behalf of the colony and the
Italian Chamber of Commerce.
In speaking about the cruise of the war
snip Captain Bertolino said it was for two
purposes: first, the training of the men,
ana second, to show the Kings nephew
the world. The Colombo will remain here
untll March l next, after which she will be
taken south, stopping at San Diego, some
OF the Mexican ports, possibly Panama,
aud will GO thence to Chile. After short
stop at Callao the cruiser VIII go through
the Straits of Magellan to Monteyideo,
klo de Janeiro and possibly New ork.
This Is the programme as outlined by the
captain, but OF course II is liable to be
changed at any time.

them are citizens of the United States,
they have still warm place in their
hearts for the mother country. The Prince
has enjoyed the trip very much and the
officers have learned a great deal from the
hard training they have been compelled
to go through while at sea"
The crew of the Cristoforo Colombo are
a fine-looking set of men. Some of the
officers are very handsome fellows, and all
are sure to be great favorites while the
cruiser is in port. Shore liberty will be

After the board officially learned of Mr.
MenZies' unofficial capacity, the chief
wharinger was told that Mr.. Menzies
could countermand the orders OF State
officials, but the master of a vessel who
obeyed him would get into serious trouble.
A petition was received from "a number
or wood dealers asking that the wharf tolls
on tanbark be reduced from 10 cents to 5
cents per cord. The reduction was ordered
made and to take effect yesterday.
The petition from the proprietors of
Cousins drydock for reduction Of rent
was denied.
A request was received from Captain
Howison, commandment of Mare. Island
Navy-yard, asking for place to dock the
tug Unadilla, which arrives every Friday
morning from the yard. 1t was thought
that if a landing place was reserved for the
tug the Navy Department should pay the
regular rates as paid by private persons;
otherwise she would have to take her
chances of finding vacant place. The
matter was taken under consideration.
Chief Wharinger Root stated to the
board that the damage done Washington
street wharf by the Unadilla in collision
last week was only trifiing, and was not
of sufficient importance for mention.
The following communication was read
by Secretary Keegan:

For years curious phenomenon has

exactly IN the center cf the lake, extending
lengthwise from one end of the lake to the

questioned them, and, not being satisfied
with their answers, they placed them
under arrest and took them to the Seven
teenth-street station, where they were
placed on the .detinue book.'
The wagon contained about two tons OF
bones, and last evening, through the
efforts of The two mounted policemen, they
were identified as having been stolen from
the Pacific Bone Factory. on the San
Bruno road, between the Six and Seven
mile houses. The wagon. had been
borrowed from peddler named Hansen

driven the horse all day and night, until it
was nearly dead. Besides charge of
grand larceny, a charge of cruelty to ami

The names of those arrested are: Charles

Of the Country Show an En-
largement of Business.
Disappointment is Observed in the
Iron and Steel Industry.
ombinations Retard Orders by Prices
Which Can Not BE Maintained, But
Trade on the Whole Is Improving
Wheat Rose Cents In the Week.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-R. G. Dun &
Co. says Saturday in their weekly re-
view Of trade:
election slackened many began to
think business dwindling, but subsid-
ence of deferred orders is not decrease
of business. Disappointment is OBJ
served in the iron and steel industry
because various combinations have
been and still are retarding orders
by prices which buyers believe can
not be maintained, and the
same is true in boots and shoes and in
few branches of textile goods. But
business is on the whole improving
and the employment OF many more
hands will extend purchasing power.
The settlement of the window glass
controversy, starting many thousand
hands, and the collapse of some i'm
portant combinations, with the same
effect, give promise of more business
Broadly speaking the gain has been
greater than anybody expected, and it
is not surprising if small part of it is
in excess of the present consuming de-
mand.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try show clearly the enlargement OF
trade, not at all points in the same
branches, but rybody helped by
more confident feeling. Monetary diff
ficulties have vanished as if by magic
and banks with an uncomfortably
large supply of idle money are hunting
borrowers as the borrowers were re-
Gently hunting tenders. Enormous
gains in bank deposits, 1000, 600 in
two weeks, indicate something of the
amount of funds recently boarded.
Wheat has risen over six cents for
the week without material change in
foreign advices, which have been on the
whole less stimulating Corn has SYM
pathized with wheat only a little and
is coming forward freely. The most
important factor in the wheat market
is that the visible supplies do not gain
as much as has been expected.
The collapse of the nail combination
and probably of the beam com bination,
and considerable reduction in quota
tions for nails and beams give reason
to look for larger demand for prod
ucts of iron and steel, but at present
the sales against speculative purchases
made some time ago are depress-
ing prices and Bessemer pig has
sold at S12.25, and according to
some reports a little lower
at Pittsburgh. The demand for
such products as are not controlled by
the com binations is somewhat increas-
ing. In minor metals tin is scarcely as
strong as it was week ago, but cop
per and lead are stronger.
Failures for the week have been 800
in the United States against 279 last
year, and SO in Canada against AZ last

AT ST. Paul, Minn.-Huge Elevator and

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 2S.-With a
fierce, raw wind blowing from the
north and the temperature four de-
grees below zero, fire broke out Fri
day evening at six o'clock in the ele va
tor of the st. Paul Elevator and Ware
house Co., corner Third and st. Peter
streets. The whole fire depart
ment was at the scene within
six minutes, but the building burned
like tinder box, and there was no
chance to save it. Shortly after
o'clock the structure fell with crash,
the debris covering the Milwaukee
track to depth of several feet and
temporarily stopping traffic on that
line. There were 100, 900 bushels OF
grain in the elevator. The loss is $780,
600, covered by $50, 900 insurance.
