The San Francisco call., 1897-09-20

A dispatch was received by the
Merchants Exchange last evening from
MarshfeId, Or. stating that the scow
which had been cast adrift by the tug
Tonquin was loaded, among other things,
with tImbers and scrap iron, but no men
tion was made of the giant powder. The
derelict was sighted by the steamship
Wslla Walla in latitude fl :39 north and
longitude 124:4 west. The ungainly
craft even with the cargo would prove
dangerous impediment to navigation
drifting as it is right in the course of both
steam and sailing vessels bound up and
down the coast. If however, added to
The scrap iron several thousand pounds
of giant powder are on board the results
OF a collision are too horrible to CEN
template. Many will recall the terrible
explosion which occurred off the Cliff
House in January, 1887, when the
schooner Parallel loaded with dynamite
drifted upon the beach. In that case,
however, the loss of life and destruction
of property were inconsiderable com pared
with what would result if a passenger
steamer should crash into the derelict In
a dark night with heavy sea running.

SONORA, CAL, Sept. 19.-WithIn the
past week great strike has been made in
the south drift of the 800 level of the IA
nous Rawhide mine. The face of the
drift has exposed an 18-ioot ledge, which
when milled will yield enormous re-
turns. Fine bodies of ore have been en-
rountered on the 600 and 1000 levels also.
Sinking is still in progress, and this mine
is amply demonstrating the fact that on
the mother lode it is depth that tells.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: Prices for cotton recovered
slightly to-day. Liverpool declined one
half sixty-fourths this morning. The
opening here was irregular, the near
months selling under last nights prices
and the later months selling to points
above them. There was no change in the
sentiment of traders generally, but there
was quite a brisk demand from houses
identified with the export business. This
demand and short covering advanced the
market still further, after the opening.
The last weekly crop bulletin of the sea-
son was again decidedly bullish, reporting
further deterioration in Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana. AS usual, the re-
port fell fiat. The receipts were again
very heavy and most of the advance was
lost. January opened at $3.50, advanced
to 6.41c, and closed at 6.S7c TO 6.3Sc with
the tone of the market steady"

the market is deprived of this class of
trading, no considerable feature. Mail
orders were. as usual on Tuesday, small

in jobbing stores and at first hands, was
very light. The price situation is gener-

position of sellers is strong in many lines.
Export goods and the finer grades are in
quiet request but staple bleached and
brown goods show no weakness. Prints,
too, are displaying a well-sustained front
Wooden goods are generally firm, the adj

NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-The market contin-
ued on the boom to-day, and the price rose
TO 80 cents. 1t was the first time since
that price was paid since Jan. 15 1885, and
even then the quotation remained firm for
only two days, while the sales were only
about AGO casks. A few days after there
was a perpendicular drop to 271a cents, af-
ter which the market steadily declined
and the recovery started just a month or
two ago. The factors were jubi.ant over
the advance to 80 cents, and they hope
that the price will be held up
AT the Board of Trade, at the first call,
the market was buletined firm, at 1884 a
30 cents with sales of 267 casks at 2924c and
222 casks at 80 cents. At the last call, it
was bulletined firm at 30 cents, with sales
of $40 casks.
Rosin-The market was firm with prices
unchanged. except for NJ, which had ad-
vanced cents. The reported sales for the

The CnpitaliSt.

The word capitalist" is simply an.
other word for the man who saves and
who finds ont what the public will buy.
This faculty for saving and for finding
out what the public wants is rare fac.
ulty. 1t is so rare TINT 1 believe relia.
bic statistics prove that 90 per cent of
men i'll business-that is, of men who
employ others-fail. They fail through
their incapacity or want Of diligence.
Only an infinitesimally small mum Der
Of them achieve fortune. They may be
called the explorers of the race We
profit by their errors. For one who in.

quires more delicate combination OF
qualities than the creation and conduc,
Of great business. The conditions Of
success are often too minute for obser-
walton. The life is full Of terrible anx.
ieties. especially in what is called
"hard times" when money is difficuli
to get. The penalty of failure is tire.
mendous. and yet the number of us who
are ready to tell the capitalist how t,
carry on his business. how to pay his
men. whom to employ, and on what
terms, is very large. If those who can
carry on business themselves were only
one-thouandth part as numerous as those
who can tell how it ought to be carried
on by others, the happiness Of man
would be well assured.-E L. Godkin

THE PAINTER.

Nature hath taken her delicate brush,
Her palette and paints and all.
She hath worked in the silence Of stafliRh1
hush.
She hath worked in the storms loud brswL
She works, and, 10,
The frescces grow
On the sides Of her ample hall.
She hath tinted the apple with dushes Of rose,
She hath covered the pear with white,
And the osier blooms where the honeyhee goes
She hath crowned with a golden light.
The leaf1ng sloe
Is draped in snow,
And the celandine stars CLEAN bright
She hath sprinlkled the meadows with silver
and gold
And the cuckoo flowers delicate hue
She hath kindled the gorse on the wind haunt.
ed void
And hath garnished the woodlands anew.
The speedwell's eye,
Demure and shy,
She hath touched with q heaven born blue.
And in and about and around them all
She hath filed in background Of green.
Tho leaf buds burst at her noiseless call
And spread out q verdurous screen,
And wearied eyes
In quiet wise
Find rest in the soothing scene.
