Apologetic.
In consequence of removal of
machinery and materials from one
floor to another in The Astokiax
building yestcrdav, to better ac
commodate our work, the paper
this morning is not quite up to the
standard of excellence.
Wheat and Freights.
We are indebted to Messrs. Kodg-
crs. Mover & Co. for a com of
-their monthly circular, which con
tains a carefully prepared estimate
of the stock of wheat remaining- in
California on the first of January,
which vre reprint belew:

Or, 1.OCW.00O tons of two pounds.
This statement is of particular
Talue at the present time, as it
gives a starting point from which
can be figured out with ap
proximate correctness the de
ficiency in the tonnage sup
ply. We therefore, repeat the
statement published in our issue
of the 22d of December, corroding
the tonnage statistics to date, and
using the above statement instead
of the loose estimates heretofore
published. The figures are taken
from the San Francisco News:
Teac
Estimated .stock of wheat on
hand January 1 l,0.oro
.SuIpnedJan.ltodate (wheat lions.
and flour reduced to whuat) 1.478
Engaged tonnage in port
(carrying eapacitj ) 88,0C5
Disengaged tomuige in iort
(earrjhu: capacitj) . 3J.5M
Tonnage on the way (curry-
ing capaein ) 'iA3su
405,0a!
.Apparent deficiency in ton
nage supply ..
A81,(OS
From this amount must be de
ducted the quantity used for seed
ing, local consumption, etc., for
irhich purposes 200,000 tons is a
liberal allowance, and it is there
fore evident that there are in round
numbers 390,000 tons of wheat
available in California for export,
for which tonnage cannot possibly
be obtained tlunnjr the current
crop year. Wo have made no de
duction for tonnage used in the
trade with the Atlantic states, the
coal, lumber and island trades, nor
for the possibility of tonnage being
drawn to Oregon, which has been
done to some extent already, and
probably will continue. This, it is
thought, will more than offset any
arrivals not down on the list of
Tessels bound to San Francisco.
Oregon also has a very heavy
wheat crop,' and will doubtless
coatribute somewhat to Californias
xport surplus, both in shipments
of flour and wheat. With such
-startling figures before us we think
the claim that freights
strong position and would keep
the tipper hand throughout the
reason is borne out by the facts of
the case. It is not unlikely that
the English wheat market will re
main at a low point throughout the
balance of the season, in which
case no very material advance can
be made in freights, but it is also
strongly probable, and may be con
sidered a demonstrated fact, that
wheat must remain at a low range
of values, as any improvement in
the English whe.at market is likely
.to be entirely absorbed by freights.
On the 25th of November, Mr.
Billings, president of the North
ern Pacific Railway company, in a
letter to Gen. Sprague announcing
the negotiations for a loan of forty
Million dollars by the company,
.said: "Wc will now push the
work on both sides of the conti
nent with the utmost vigor. The
day of doubt is past and somehow
I feel almost as if my lifes work is
.accomplished. Anybody now can
3mild the road, but I pray God to
spare my life until I can see the
J3ast rail laid."
Yankee Snrcess.
The British Trade Journal, in a
recent issue has an item entitled the
secret of Yankee success, which has
sorae very sensible observations
upon what was seen by a special
correspondent of that paper. It
savs: "ine Americans nave, as
a matter of fact, gone far ahead of
all other countries in this respect,
and have had to educate, as it
were, some of their national cus
tomers up to their superior knowl
edge. A French firm, for exam
pie, sent to America for a certain
style of pitchfork. They were
made to suit the requirements of
the customer, who, however, did
not want them, because they were
lighter than he had ordered. The
response was 'you have the
strength you require, what more
do you want.' The truth was the
French customer had retained
the idea that there could be no
strength unless the article was
heaTy and clumsy looking, and it
was not until they found out the
truth that had been proved by
American experience, that they
consented to adopt the light forks.
The same truth is now being
manifested in England by the re
cent introduction of American
small agricultural tools, the ship
ment of which, I am told, is this
year largely increasing. The ques
tion is, will the Englishmen con
sent to take a leaf out of an Ameri
can book."
The Cincinnati Enquirer says
that "Senator John P. Jones, of
Nevada, is the ablest and wisest
man on all questions of fin
ance in the senate, and is capa
ble of teaching all congress on
these questions." This is a high
compliment to pay to a member of
so illustrious a body of men as the
United States senate, and is doubt
less inspired by the thorough
study Mr. Jones has given the
question of bi-tnetalism, of which
the Enquirer is an ardent advo
cate. It is admitted, however,
that Senator Jones has not only
gone deeper into the principles in
volved in the single gold standard
position than any other public man
in this country, but that he can
teach many foreign writers on
finance on their clnesen subject.
The battle over silver must soon
be fought, and the immense inter
ests arrayed against it will furnish
occasion for good work on the part
of its advocates.
riPWliat pleasure it is to pay ones,
debts ! In the firt place, it removes Unit
uneasiness which a person feels from
dependence and obligation. It afTonl.s
pleasure to the creditor, and therefore
gratifies our social affection. It jiro
motes that future confidence which ismj
intercstinn lo an honest mind. It ojHns
a prosneet of being readily supplied
with what you want on future occasions.
It leaves a consciousness of our virtue;
and it is a measure we know to be right,
both in point of justice and. ound econ
onn. Finalh. it is the main .support of
simple reputation. I'aj us, that we may
pay "titers.
