Trade Quiet and No Changes in VAL

On the wholesale streets yesterday trade was
quiet and will continue through the week.
Wholesale houses paying more attention
to getting the bills of the year collected and pre-
pairing for good years business in 1898. In
prices there marked changes. On Com
mission row business more active than on
the wholesale streets, there is good demand
for fruits. Some very choice oranges and bananas
are offered. The produce men were quite
busy. Receipts of poultry are light and eggs are
not coming IN very freely, but with a light East
ern demand the prospects for better prices are
not very fiattering. Other markets are moving

The Sunday Law.

Eds. Record Union: notice in your
issue of the 21st instant that the Cali
fornia State Sabbath Association is on
hand again with its Sunday law scheme.
This is an association that always
makes considerable showing on paper,
and by the reports Of its meetings, its
resolutions, etc, one might suppose that
it was recognized power in the State.
l attended it's last annual meeting in
San Francisco as / had the previous like
occasion in Oakland. At these meetings,
while the attendance was about a score,
the actual participants in the business
numbered not more than half as many.
There was a general complaint that
even the ministers, with a few excep-
tions, took no active interest in the mat
ter, and their presence could not be
secured even at meetings of committees
on which they had been appointed. AT
the last annual meeting there was much
difficulty in securing a President. There
was a general decSnation on the part of
those present, but at last the honor was
saddled upon a superannuated minister,
mainly upon the plea that he had moth
ing else to do" This was the most ra-
tional act of all the associations pro-
ceedings, for if, in this land which
boasts of civil and religious liberty,
there is any person who has an excuse
for trying to force upon the people the
observance of religious institution,
that person must be one who has moth
ing else to do. / make this reference
merely to show that this body of great
pretensions as a representative of pop
ular sentiment Is actually one of very
small dimensons-and Of smaller pur-
pose.
notice in your report Of the conven-
ton to which l have alluded, that DR..
Briggs in explanation Of the object of
the association, said that it was Ito
make a civil observance Of one day in
seven obligatory on every person and to
make this day the same in all parts of
the State" But in all the remarks
ouoted. and in the formulated petition
and resolution adopted by the conven-
tion. the "one day in seven" becomes
definitely fixed on Sunday, and the

NO MONEY In RAISING WOOL.
The Industry Nearly Wiped Out by the
Wilson Bill.
How Transactions Have DWindIed to
Almost Nothing the Last
Two Years.

AT the request of the State Agri-
cultural Society Frank L. Orcutt of
this city has prepared a statement
showing the effect of the present tariff
law on the wool industry of California.
Mr.. Orcutt's investigation shows that
it has practically ruined it, He says:
The wool clip for California for 1896
is 27,195.5 $50 pounds, designated as fol-
lows:
Spring shearing, 1854 11O pounds.
Fall shearing, 1871 ,440 pounds.
Pulled wool, 1,S20000 pounds.
Total wool production of California,
q 195, $50 pounds.
On hand December 81, 1896, 6000,-
600 pounds.
Total receipts of wool at San Fran
cisco from all points, including Oregon,
Nevada, the Territories and Australia,
67,721 bags, or 1914 500 pounds.
Following are the exports:
Domestic foreign-pulled and secured
(by rail, inclusive of shipments from
interior), 17,162,000 pounds; by steam
er via Panama, 376, ,112; total, II, ,53S,-
112
On hand December 81, 1896, includ-
ing secured wool reduced to its equiv
alent in grease, 100000 pounds
The difference between receipts and
exports arises from the consumption
of local WOODEN mills and wool ON hand
in the grease and secured. Foreign
wool is chiefly from Australia in transit
to Eastern markets
The wool clip of this State shows a
decrease during the past year from the
year preceding it of S,661, 140 pounds
a loss of about 25 per cent
Nominal quotations of the market De-
cember 81, 1896, We're as follows:
Spring clip: Choice Northern CHum-
boldt and Mendocino), to 111a; good
Northern (Red Bluff, etc., to 10;
same, defective, 7 to 912; good to choice
San Joaquin, twelve months growth,
to 615; Southern Coast, 3 to A.
Fall clip: Choice Northern (Hum-
boldt and Mendocfno) & to s; good
Northern, 512 to Z: San Joaquin, 4 to
51a; heavy San Joaquin and Southern,
21a to +.
NOte-At the above prices every
pound produced is at loss. This very
important industry will be wiped out
of existence unless immediate action is
taken by Congress and a moderate
duty placed upon wool.
This State, under a protective tariff
in 1876, produced 56, ,550913 pounds of
wool, with good remunerative prices,
and all prospered.

HE WILL join MRS, ELLIOTT.
Antoine kucheS Guilty of Assault on Lit
tie Emma Metz.
Another Instance of What the Society
OF Children'S Friends is
Doing.

The Society for the Prevention Of
cruelty to Children, and its faithful
ana energetic officer, Dan Healy-as
Well as all decent citizenS-have reason
Tor congratulation over the fact that
there was no miscarriage of justice in
the case of Antoine Kuches, the Greek
candymaker, who was arrested by
Healy while in the act of attempting a
criminal assault on Emma Metz, a g.rl
IA years of age.
The jury before whom the case was
tried, after spending the night in the
jury room, returned to Judge Harts
court yesterday morning and an
nounced that they had agreed on YER
dict Of guilty as charged"
Officer Healy had reason to suspect
that Kuches was in the habit of induc-
ing girls to visit his candy factory on
X street, between Fifth and Sixth, SO
he watched the place, and when he
saw the scoundrel lead the Metz girl
into room in the rear of the store he
pounced upon him at the right moment.
1t was such a clear case that even the
strong support of able counsel could not
save the fellow. Valuable assistance
was rendered the District Attorney by
lawyer c. M. Beckwith, who is one Of
the most active members of the society.
Kuches will soon go to join Mrs. Eli
oft in the State Prison-another dis
graceful specimen of humanity whose
career of crime was checked by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and the vigilance of Officer
Healy.
Yet this organization of Jealous men
and women who are giving their time
and energies to the work of protecting
children against cruel and inhuman
parents and from the influence and
clutches Of depraved creatures who
would ruin their young lives, is having
a hard struggle for existence. Hundreds
of cases that deserve attention it has
been obliged to overlook for want Of
the necessary funds with which to eX-
tend relief and succor to suffering chill
dren, and its members have been able
to act only in the worst cases where
the courts might take from their shoul-
ders a portion Of the burden
While the various charita BILE organ1-
cations Of the city are all deserving of
the help of the good citizens, there is
none that should appeal with more
force to the generosity of the public
than this society which has taken up
the cause of little children. hungry,
half-clothed and abused child is
greater object of pity than a destitute
man, because the latter is able to hustle
for work, even though temporary, and
is not as dependent as the child of
drunken and brutal parents or who is
at the mercy Of depraved creatures OF
either sex.
1t is hoped that the announcement
thus far extended to the friends OF
children by intelligent juries will slim
ulate its warm hearted members and
energetic officer to renewed efforts in
behalf of suffering children.

James Muir Sentenced for Battery on
a Woman.

The case Of James Muir, charged with
battery, was called yesterday morning
in the Police Court.
An L-street woman testified that
Muir came TO her room while she was
in bed. She had been drinking and
called him names, and he struck her.
They had been living together for about
four months. She declared that he had
not enticed her away from home.
Muir denied that he had struck her
and said he went to the room to look
for a friend and she was drunk and
abused him and threw a water pitcher
at him and afterward cuspidor. He
had always worked since he had been
in town and had given her as much
money as she had given him.
He was found guilty and sentenced to
100 days in the County Jail.
