were progressive merchants and had con-
hdence in themselves. They remained by
the fight until it eventually became tire
some.
Then they came to the conclusion that
1t did not pay, this rivalry in which goods
often sold for less than what they cost,
and they gave way to the larger firm.
Among some of their more recent con-
tracts was the glass for the Parrot and
Native Sons buildings, which it is said
were taken at loss.
ruler d. Co. forced the fight all through
and after bitter struggle for business
supremacy came out of it victorious.
Since Woods & Co. retired, one more,
and the only rival In the plate-glass bust
ness, gave up in despair of further pro-
longing the ruinous competition. This
was the old-established house of r. H.
Rosenbaum d Co., at 567 Market street. The
Rosen baum concern lost money in meet
Ing the prices of Fuller & Co.. and, after
paying 100 cents on the dollar of indie bted-
ness, sold out the stock and left the field
to the one house.
William 6. Fulford, one of Mr.. Woods
partners, Immediately upon the dissolu-
ton OF his firm associated himself with
Fuller d Co., and it is generally believed
that he will represent certain patronage
or interests OF the defunct concern.
The result of these changes is regarded
by business men as the assurance of a
monopoly and consequently general ad-
vance in prices, since there is no competi-
ton in the trade. Fuller & Co. nave
branch houses in the large interior cities
OF California, where the prices during the
competition with Woods & Co. precluded
q fight TO any extent by other merchants,
but as the business stands at present re-
tail dealers declare it invites Eastern
establishments to come into California
and try their skill at com peting.

F. N. Woods & Co. Alb
Sorbed by Powerful
Rivals.
Their Withdrawal Leaves a
Monopoly in the Hands of
One Firm.
Another Wholesale Paint, Oil and
Glass House Succumbs in the
Competition.

Dealers interested in the paint and glass
business are more or less agitated over the
latest change in the local wholesale situa-
ton, which practically leaves monopoly
of that trade in California to one firm.
The last vestige of opposition has been
wiped out by this transaction, and hence
the uneasiness among the retail men who
deal in oils used in painting and iIlumi-
mating, and in paints, glass, etc., all of
which are grouped under one branch of
trade.
The monopoly, for such it is said to be
by business men we'll informed on the
matter. was effected when the house of F.
n. Woods d Co. sold out to the large whole
sale firm of w. P. Fuller e. Co. Tuis
transfer took place quite recently, and its
details are not all concluded at the pres
ent time.
The big stores and warehouses of Woods
& Co., at 81 and 80 First street, are now
almost denuded of their valuable stock.
with which went the prospects of con-
tinued competition in that line of trade in
California. For nearly month the stock
has been melting away in the ordinary
channels, and Fuller & Co. have been re-
ceiving all the profits from it. So that
now the firm of Woods q Co., after few
years existence, is completely absorbed
by its powerful rival, and not competitor
worthy OF the name remains in San Fran
cisco.
Woods & Co. established themselves
themselves three or four years ago, when
the firm OF Whittier, Fuller e. Co. dis
solved partnership GA the withdrawal of
Mr.. Whittier. They opened business on
an extensive scale Oh First street, and at
once began an aggressive career which
promised much for the enterprising pro-
prietors.
Prices were cut after period extending
back for many years, through which old
time figures held undisputed sway. A
fight was on. Fuller & Co. met the re-
auctions of their competitors, and quickly
the fight for business passed the stage OF
customary rivalry. 1t developed into a
warfare that left little or no profit to
either side.
f. n. Woods used to be member of the
old firm of Whittier, Fuller Il Co. He
had ample wealth and an investment, it
is estim ated, of something like 100000 in
the new house, and he determined to re-
main in the competition. His partners,

by Judge Coffey in the Ann Callaghan

valuable and has been in litigation for
many years. The legal point at issue was

Attorney Charles S. Wheeler raised the
objection that the proposed trust was void
on account of the fact that it was in con-
prevention of the law of California as laid
down by several decisions of the Supreme
Court.
After hearing argument on both sides
OF the question Judge Coffey said that in
his opinion Mr.. Wheeler's argument was
not only unanswerde, but that it was un-
answerable, and gave judgment declaring
the trust null and VOID. 1t is from that
judgment that the appeal has been taken.

ers waxed hilarious on New Years day!
The old-fashioned modes of making
calls have been lost in the newer methods
of doing erything. Nowadays the
would-be hostess sends out cards for a
New Years dinner or midnight supper,
and lone but invited guests are admitted
beyond the sacred portals of her drawing
room. 1t is good idea and does away
with the old habit OF receiving one and all
on the first day OF the year, besides spar
ing an indulgent hostess the embarrass-
ment OF listening to maudlin greetings OF
gentlemen who have made too many calls
and have i'm bibed of divers drinks with
out considering the quantity or quality.
In these days the men who are not
lucky enough TO be invited to a private
celebration quietly steal away in threes
and Fights and have the uproarious time
that good fellows always enjoy. OF course
their wives and sisters soothe their manly,
aching brows the next day. and gently
administer bromides and spirits of am
monia to remove the dark terra-cotta taste,
but what's the odds so long as you re
happy!
This year is not next year; tomorrow
has no more to say to yesterday.
Miss Virginia Fair is without question
one OF the most popular young women in
New York society. Certainly the pretty
Californian Birdie Fair has quite de-
serted her native heath, and also sweetly
ignored the California colony, neverthe-
less she is delightful guest at reception,
cotillon, bicycle meet, skating party,
luncheon or box party, besides being a
jolly and enthusiastic player on the golf
links.
She and her handsome sister, Mrs. Her.
mann Oelrichs are charming hostesses
too, and this winter will be frightened by
several dinners and receptions at their
Fifth-avenue residence.
On New Years day Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver
II. P. Belmont gave an up-to-date lunch
con at their Seventy-second-st house,
and among the invited guests were several
Californians: Mr.. and Mrs. William r.
Travers, Mr.. and Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs
and Miss Virginia Fair.
Vaudeville entertainments at private
functions are the prevailing craze. The
