Stocks QUIET YESTERDAY.
Reported Embarrassment of Two
More Brokers Because of
the Rise.
Wheelbarrows to Be Supplanted by
Flat Cars on the Brunswick
Lode in a We Hence.

1t was reported on the street yesterday
afternoon that two other brokers had been
smitten with the dollar rise IN Comstocks
and had fallen by the wayside. But it
was expected that both brokers would be
able to make a compromise with their
creditors and settle matters amicably.
Hence the matter was kept very quiet.
There were no new developments in the
matter of the failure of Harris and Atkin-
son, and no news was given out in relation
thereto. 1t is understood that their de-
hcits are in a fair way to be settled quietly.
1t was dull IN stocks also, but very
small volume of business being done. The
brokers were engaged in settling up, squar-
ing accounts and finding out where they
stood since the dollar earthquake struck
the peanut-stand on Pine street.
When the reported strike in Chollar, on
the Brunswick lode, was made, the ore
was being removed In wheelbarrows.
Since then the work of laying q railroad
track has been begun in order that solid
chunks of gold and silver may be NOV
on cars. The work of tracklaying will
consume week.
There is disposition in certain high
quarters to boom the Chollar in particular
and the leading Comstocks in general.
Inc DoOm'iS 10 De lnaugurated by pushing
the work Oh favorable looking drifts on
the Brunswick lode, SO it is said. The gen.
eral impression is that rise in stocks is
necessary for the purpose of attracting
capital to the mines and stimulating busi-
ness in California and on the Comstock.
The fact that large quantity of capital is
available in this City and State seeking in
vestment is pointed out as an indication
of returning prosperity when coupled with
a rise in mining value.
The bulls declare that the recent rise is
caused by strike OF ore on the Bruins
wick loie, and that on Monday there
will be a big advance. The bears say
that the strike, if any there was, did not
amount to anything, and that on Monday
something will drop. Yesterday Choi-
lar sold at 81 95 and 81, Con. Cal. & Va.
81 70 and 81 80. and Occidental at 81 55 and
81 20.

profitable calling. Figures for fifty
seven years Of her reign show that the
British people have given her under
the name of civil list expenditures
s11O275. 600. In addition to this vast
total, $4S,676, 765 has been expended Tor
the maintenance of seventeen resi-
dencs, stables and the like. The total
direct expenditure of the Queen alone
is over S1.S00,000 a year. There Is al
this date an annual expenditure in adj
ditiOn for other members Of the royal
family of $1,3O0OOO. The thrifty old
