Snectal Correspandence of The Tribune. SAN Fraxcisco, Oct. 19.—The fluctuations in Sierra Nevada continue to be the all-absorbing topic’ and the all-sbsorbing interest of ver§ many. Its market price has become as uncer- tain as that of Ophbir, which through the rise and fali of many stock dynasties retains its name of * King-pin,” and is always an index of the current prices. The amount of inflating aud collapsing which Opbir has undergone is inconceivable, and it yet retains all of its-original clasticity. There is no time when manipulators caunot get up an excitement on Ophir. They havenot been equally successful with Sierra Nevada and Union Consolidated, which, notwithstanaing the fame of .the unrevealed bonanzas, have been going down, down, down during the past week with a steady persistence ominous to those who had jumped in at high ‘prices and fatal to marmin holders. Pine street has been a gloomy preeinet these last days, Groups of despondent-looking men and women embellished the curb of every broker’s oflice. ‘They take a sad satisfaction in lingering around. the neighborhood where their money has disappeared. *‘Sold out” is adver- tised in every curve of their dejected attitudes, {n every line of hopelessness in their faces. Also they all tall to biting thelr nails with a vigor and assiduity which, devoted to some other occupation, might bring ample reward. It has never passed into history that nafl-bit- ing is one of the adjuncts of a stock-panicscene, and yet it is a fact that with the issuance of every fresh bulletin from the Board-room on a bad day, all the street hangers-on with an action which {s simultaneous though not precoucerted fall to at their nails and bite away till the first shock of the news is over. In fact, what a small operator has left in the matter of mails after a month’s unsuccessful tilt with the market is a tritle not worth men- tioning. The merest tyro in stock matters can easily guess the state of the market by the appearance of the streets. A thousand reasons have been given for the premature dedline m the Lwo stocks upon which 50 many have pinved their hopes, but every obe shrinks from believing what is most. like to be Slle truth, that there is no bonanza there after Feeling in Virginia City—where the pople bave raked and scraped togetber everything they had on earth 1o put in these two stocks— rap very high.

IWOMEN-OPERATORS. Some of the boldest operations in the stock market have been made by adventurous ladies possessed of fortunes in their own right, who laugh to scorn the small, safe returns of bond investments, and tempt tne uncertainties of the stock market with iron nerve. Many of these are wealthy widows, while those who swear marital allegiance do not by aoy means *pool their fssucs ” with their lords. One lady, who had experienced the ups and downs of stock too often to e agreeable, de- termined, just previous to the Iast rise, to try her own hand at stock-dealing. She went to Virginia City, penetrated to the inner circle of the ring by some strategic n(:illc_v nly a woman Gould conjure up, acted on al,gclxlwoim); obtained, and became a rich woman as quickly as Lord’B_rron incuflme famous. Such, t, is Rumor’s version. o e er Jady, who 1s one of the mogt daring speeatators on Bine street, has followed the for- tunes of Sicrra .'c\'adnbtlhr;zgfizmuz its rises and ines with impregnable faith. de}c:l‘x.g" time it t?ns gone down she has bon;ht She is utterly undismaved by threats of panic,— indeed, bss alwAyS sufficient nerve to take ad- vantage of such times.

When Mr. Mackay went to Furope last time, be jovited to accompany him a young gentle- man who was an old friend of the family. It is characteristic of the Mackays that the friends of the old time are the friends of the new, how- ever many others may come jnto “the charmed golden circle. ~ i The young gentleman declined the invitalion on the ground that he was at work winning a wife, and he must stav at home and make some money. Untortunately, the prosocctive wife was a rich man’s daughter, and he was obliged to make a very great deal of money. Mr. Mackay cut the Gordian knot of the diffi- culty with all the case ot a Creesus. He bade the young man select a broker, which the young man did with alacrity, and he placed to the young man’s account suflivient money to carry on a good business. Then be adviced his confi- dential man to furnish the young firm with profits, and whisked his fricnd off to Eurove with him. 5 There the young man met his Dulciues, and after a stormy courtship, owing to the jealous interference of a fond father, married hier. Mr. Mackay preseuted the bride—Mrs. Henry Rosener, there is no mystery in the matter— with a pair of diamond earrings, whose size has becu estimated by rumor of many various de- ‘z’nl:)ea. running all the way from a pea to a foot- all. ‘I'ie pea size is_the story the more zenerally accepted. Mre. Mackay I6aded the bride with presents, amongz others a parure of jewels, the distinguishing feature of ‘which was a diamond watch and chatelaine. The happy pair returned the other night, and the bridegroom was met with the pleasant ac- count of half a million of profits in the firm, the Tucky broker having pocketed a similar anount. Tlese Aladdin-like tales, Lowever, are offset with many a story which rums just the other way. .

The places of amusements are well patron- ized, although there is really no novelty to at- tract. Alice Oates is having a wonderfully successful season at the Bush Street Theatre with a very bad company. Her createst success has been in “Girofle-Girofla,” in which she was always liked best, but on Monday night they are to bring out * Le Petit Due,” which is intended to be the feature of the engagement. They say it is awfully improper, so it will probably draw weil. - Mrs. Oates, however, although sometimes rough, i3 never vulgar in the French suegestive manner. She is as wild a littic tom-boy as ever frolicked oo & stage iu parts which admit of much license, and she has contracted an odious havit of guying and gagping iucessantly, but she never taints the moral atmosphere with her ver- formances. Her successful season is due rather to the de- mand for light entertainment and catchy music than to the excellence of her troupe. - She made good use of her brief-visit toFrance, in the matter of costuwing, for she looks like another woman in each of the handsome new tollets she wears. Her trunks arc apparently joexhaustible. But her voice is goue, and she i3 obtized to tide over.the difliculty with gor- eousness of raiment and excuss of action. She has done well even on that stock this secason, but it will hardly carry ber successfuliy over the continent. At Baldwin’s they have been playing “A Woman of the People,’ and Miss Rose - Wood has made a hit as Warie. . Rose Wood has bad a checkered experience during ber engagement at this theatre, She Is on the topmost e of favor duriug the run of one play. and away down with the next. She is a singularly uneven actress, and delights in oune role, while she grievously disappomts in the nCXE. One critic has had the daring to compare her with Rachel in **A Woman of the People,”” a2 compliment which she almost deserves. It is when the demaund upon her is greatest that she most excels. Until now ebe has never had so great a success as in * Agnes,” where she holds the stage almost all the time, aud plays upon many varying moods. ‘Althouzh well liked and always.warmly ap- plauded, she is hardly the popular favorite she deserves to e, for_she is, with one excention, the best leading lady we have had in San Fran- cisco in many years. That exception is, of course, Miss Bateman, whom San Franciseo people’ regard with an admiration and devotion whose intensity is amusiog, . Miss Wood will be missed when she zoes away, and people will_often long to have her, back again, unless the East will contribute a little better material to “the Californin stage than it has yet done. ‘There isa new star risen o the dramatic firmament who receives the muniticent salary of $7,000 a year, and who dictates tezms to his manager with ull the capricious exactingsof a spoiled prima donna. The Chiuese Tueatre has been renovated and decorated for his appearance, and there proba- bly would bave been new seenery painted if they were in the havit of using scenery. As it {5, this latest Chinese importation may insist upon it after he learns the ways of the country, for he positively refused to begin his engagement until bis dressing-room had been laid with an American carpet, and furnished with an American bureau and dressing-glass. The unfortunate manager was put toan ex- cnse of $70 before the imperious star was sat- ed. This proves that American managers do not have all the trouble to themselves. JASSARTH. Names. New York Times, A very curious chapter might be written upon the contrast between many noted localitics aud the names which they bear, a contrast so slaring in many cases as to sugeest a prophetic irony on the part of those who, mamed them. Salem (peace) afterwards lengthened into Jerusalem, barmonizes with_the associations of a spot which has witnessed the multiplied horrors of the three bloodiest sieges in history. ~ The Louvre, now one of the greatest monuments of civilization in its hizhest form, literally signifies “place of wolves,” with which its site: once abounded.

If bis policy has descended with his wealthito his eldest son, the public neeil not expeet to sce the Vanderbilt stocks treated as Jay Goula treats those he controls. ‘The rumors that the rise in.Western Union was caused by that Company’s cetting control of Edi- son's clectric light patents, with the intention of placing the eiectric lzht n all the cities aud towns of the country where it has wires; that the stock was going 10 500: and that the slight. decline in the closing quotations was dae to a relapse in EQi- gon’s neuralgiy, may be taken as fair speciinens of what will pass for a joke amonig stock brokers and thelr victimy. o Gold remarned at 1003 all‘ddy.
