14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1897. PROSPERITY DAWNS ON WOOL MEN Prices Sent Upward by the New Administra- tion. THE FOREIGN PRODUCT IS TABOOED. An Unprecedentei Awakening and Large Buying Inaugu- rated. A HEAVY DUTY ALREADY PRE- VAILS. The Final Action of Congress on the Dingley Bill Looked Forward To With Joy. Itis not the dawn but the midday of prosperity that now shines on the wool- growers of California as the result of the incoming of the new Republican admin- istration. After four years of dismal darkness and stagnation of business in consequence of the murderous free-trade policy of the Democracy, all i* now light. Thereis a boom on right now in the local market such as has not been witnessed in a veri- table age. A complete reaction bas sst in and the woolmen are bubbling over with joy. The present rapid advance in prices is acknowledged by buyers and growers alike to be rather speculativg for the time being because of the fact that the new tariff bill has not as yet passed through the Senate and no definite duty rate ias been decided upon, but nevertheless it is considered more than safe speculation and those who are buying are satisfied that they are taking no undue chances. It is positiveiy certain that Congress will impose a heavy duty on foreign wool, but | just what the rate will be is, of course, at present purely a maiter of conjectare. The Dingley bill, as it left the House of Representatives, fixes the tax at 11 cents a pound, but it is the general belief among | the wool men that when the Senate gets through with the measure the rate wiil be found to have been reduced. It may come down to 9 cents and possibly 8, but even this will assure continuous prosperity. | The wool men feel confident that the duty | will go no lower. In anticipation of the action of Congress prices in the local market have already advanced from 2 to 4 cents a pound on tie various qualities of wool over the prices that prevailed last year. For exampble, in 1896 San Joaquin ‘‘'vear’s wool’’ brought but 614 cents, sna in isolated cases 73§ | cents, while the present rate for the same article ranges from 8} to 10} cents. ar Los Angeles wool was quoted cents, but now it cannot be bought for less than 8 cents. Here is another: Livermore wool averaged between 614 and 8 cents here in 1896, but now they are offering as high as 13 cents for it while it is still on the sheeps’ backs, and it is nard to get at that figure, The buying of wool whichis unclipped— that is, wool which is still on the sheep—is something that has not been done in these parts, except in a few isolated cases, since 18 But it constitutes the bulk of the business being now transacted. It is almost unprecedented, say the dealers, and they see in it a prophecy of boom times. Of course, there is 2 great deal of foreign wool here at present, and more is coming here over the sea. This will all have to be worked off before the home product can readily take possession of the American market, and it is estimated that about a vear's time will be required to accomplish it. Butin the meantime, as the foreign artiele is taken up and used, the home wool will gradually fill in the gap until there is none of the competitive product Jeft. The foreign supply will be increased by the arrival of the cargoes that are now en route in various sailing vessels, as these will necessarily have to be admitted iree of duty; but any wool ordered after the 1st of April will have the 11-cent duty im- posed upon it, and will therefore pe a los- | ing purchase. ““Yes, sir, these are great days for the wool men,” said Ed C. Denigan of the firm of Thomas Denigan, Son & Co., yes- terday. *‘The market is on the jump and there is every indication that prosperity will continue. We are all confident that the tariff bill will go through all right enough, but of course do not know just whnat the duty will be on foreign wool. We are satisfied, though, that it will be sufficient to benefit the home producers. They are certain to get some protection, and heaven knows they need it. “Dauring the last four years we have had a declining market. Now we have a beautifully rising one, and naturally we are all jubilsnt. In fact it has been so long since we have seen any prosperity —_— NEW TO-DAY.

It all goes to | show that the people knew what they were doing when they plunked in their votes for a complete change of the coun- try’s policy.” Clarles A. Hulme of the firm of Hulme & Hart corroborated everything said by Mr. Denigan—for that matter every wool man in town did. “Last year the California clip was 8,000,000 pounds short of what it bad for- | merly averaged,” said Mr. Hulme, “and if that is not evidence enough of the evils of the free-trade policy I don’t know what is. This means a decrease of over 1,000,000 | sheep. You see the growers were being | forced out of business. The present rise of prices bids fair to put them on their | feet again, and I tell you itis high time, | for they were in desperate straite.

Avoidance of Damage Suits oi More Concern Than Getting Mere Franchises. REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS AT- TEND. Practical Exchange of Views Which Has Clearly Opened the Way for Negotiations. OAKLAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCISCO CALL.) 508 Broadway, April7. | Representative men of Oakland and of the Valley Railroad have met and each of the parties now know just what the other wants. A very practical conference was held this afternoon at the City Hall. The Valley road was represented by President Claus Spreckels, Vice-President Robert Watt, Engineer Storey and Direct Isasc Upnam, Thomas Magee, Cap Payson and Louis Sioss. Oakland was represented by Mayor Thomas, ex-Mayor Davie, Counciimen Pringle and Watkinson; W. V. Witcher, president Merchants’ Exchange; Supervi- sor Talcott, ex-Councilman Mott and James P. Taylor, president of the Board of Trade. Alter a brief introduction among them- selves, the matter was at once taken up. 2x-Mavor Davie stated that the right of for the Valley road in this city was undoubtedly the chief feature to be de- MRS.

In the drawing- | Toom, where the xolemn binding words were spoken, a Iattice of white :blossoms was woven over the face of the large mur- Tor that lines the entire side of the wall facing the door.

The bride had only one attendant, her | sister, Miss Genevieve Goad, who acted as maid of honor, Claude Terry Hamilton was best man. The two little aanghters of Dr. Mackenzie led the bridal proces- sion, stretching the white satia ribbons | which formed the aisle for the bridal pariy. The bride was extremely beautiful in her handsome wedding gown. It was of rich white satin. The skirt was made | perfectly plain, and the bigh-neck corsage completely covered; with point lace. The veil fell in voluminous folds to the hem of the skirt and was fastened to the coiffure with a wreath of orange blossoms. Miss Genevieve Gosd wore a dainty £own of white crepe lisse over white silk. The corsage was trimmed witk chiffon. Mrs. Osgood Hooker, sister of the bride, was attred in a black grenadine made over bright green silk. After the ceremony refreshments were | served from the buffet. All the guests re- mained to see the bride and groom go away and velted the young couple with rice, Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh left last evening for a briaal tour, keeping their destination secret. The bride’s traveling gown was a hand- some brown broadcloth, tailor made. She wore a small hat to maicn. Among those present at the wedding were: Mr. ana Mrs. C. G.

Vice-President Watt stated that a franchise is not such an important matter as a guaraniee againat damage suits from properiy-owners. “In the San Joaquin Valley,” said Mr. Watt, “'we have already vaid $10,000 or $12,000 in damage suits aud $40,000 against us is now pending.” Mr. Spreckels stated that the m sranting of a franchise is very little “They told us taere would be no difficulty sabout a right of way in Stock- ton,” said President Spreckels, “but we met with much difficulty. In Fresno we were given the right of way and found we hed a great many suits on our hands. In the San Joaquin Valley we have had great | trouble, and land worth $30 an acre sud- denly increased to $1300 when we wanted s piece of it. These are the matters which are of great concern to us.” W. V. Witcher asked what the Vailey road would require to induce them to He said that Oakland wanted a road, and by their presence here | to-day the Valley road officials showed that they wanted to come if they were met half way. In reply to this Mr. Spreckels 33id that they. could not at this time say exactly what wonld be required. After further discussion Vice-President Watt made the following statement: “We have two considerations. In the first place we have found a southern entrance to Oakland, and this is a good one, for it reaches all the southern towns of impor- tance and is on the way so that we could establish a branch line te San Jose. The provosed northern route is not so de- sirable, because the grades are very heavy. It would take us through Castro Valley, but we would have to send our trains nup an 80-foot grade and through a 6000-foot tunnel at Corral Hollow. The Southiern Pacific hauls on heavy grades in the Sierras, but we want to obviate this if pos- sible. The Southern Pacific’s grades in the mountains are not over fifty feet to the mile, but there 1s a grea difference be- | tween thisand eighty feet. “The Goat Island terminus which has been suggested is a good one, and it would give us a petter route to San Francisco as as an entrance to Oakland. Now with relation to the California and Nevada line, I do not know what we could do with it. A portion of the right of way may be available if it can be se- cared, but we would then have to run up through the hills north of Livermore. Point Richmond is 7.7 miles from the foot of Market street, and in front of the piers we have ample water—as much as seven fathoms—as well as ample room for all purposes required.” Claus Spreckels then declared that the Valley road would like to come to Oak- land. He said: e want to come to Oakland it we can. Why shouldn't we come in? There are plenty of people here and good advantages for us if we can see our way clear to reach the city. This is a plain business proposition, and of course we are looking out for the best interests of the corporation we represent. 1If it be within the power of Oakland, and I be- lieve it is, to offer such advantag will make it best for the city and best for us to come here, why, we want to come.” Mr. Watt supplemented Mr. Spreckels’ CAUSED A 615 SURPRISE remarks by saying that the Valley road has not enough money on hand ‘o build into this city at this time, but with assist- ance it migut be possible. Various de- tails were then discussed and the conier- encs broke up with the understanding that Oakiand was willing to make aany effort within reason to obtain the road and that the directors were willing to come if sufficient inducements ve offered. As 500n us the visitors had departed ths Oakland committee held a short meeting, at which it was agreed that a representa- tive execative committes of fifteen should be appointed to carry oa negotiations with the Valley road. Next Friday afternoon a meeting will be beld, at which the full committee will be appointed, which wiil then get to work at once to find out what is necessary to bring the road here and how to acquire it. SOME FAST GREYHOUNDS. Five First-Class Eastern Dogs Arrived With a Trainer Yesterday From St. Louis. Owners of greyhounds will have an op- portunity of feasung their eyes upon some firsi-class Eastern running stock next Sunday at Ingleside Park.

They Were Made in Cincinnati and the Improvement C ub; Obj:cted. 1 The principal business transacted by the Federated Improvement Cubs at its | mesting last nigut was in connection with the proposed carnival of the Goiden Gate. After the disposition of some routine work President George R. Fletcher called | for the report of the committee on the | carnival. ‘Ine report proposed to assess | each subordinate club $10 snd $1 for each delegate ior the purpuse of building a | float” represenung tie improvement | leatures of tke City through the iufluence of the clubs. In harmony with the objects of the | commitiee’s recommendation W. M. Weil and Fred Rasb, who represented tbe ! execative committee uf tie carnival and | who Were present, were invited (o speak. Weil won the appiause from the deie- gales. After him came Fred Raab, less e.oquent but equaily as forcible, and at the conclusion of his remarks he pro- duced a handful of carnival souvemrs in the shape of lapel buttons, which were aistrivuted round to the members. Theun it_was that W. J. Williams raised trouble. He observed that these buttons were manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, aud lost no time in stating his discovery. This was a surprise and had the effect sim:lar 10 what a red blanet would if wbrown into a bull-pen. Great excitement followed, and a ma- jority of the members spoke in opposition 10 the moneyed feature of the recom- mendation, while others favored the with- drawal of the club's uelogates to the car- nival committee. Delegate A. Barendt, however, threw oil on the troubled waters by offering a resolution tnat the club tender its moral support to the carnival and recommend- 1ng the financial question to the consider- aton of the individual clubs. This was unanimously adopted, and the bution question ended. Delegates M. V. Stevens, C. Balzarini, | R. Kirk, R. A. Daniels and J. H. Lyigens were seated from the New Park Lane Club. Dr. Salsfield offered a resolution request- ing the Park Commissioners to provide a roadway within the park limits from Third avenue and H street to Stanyan street for the accommodation of the residents of the Sunset district. The committee on nuisances was in- structed to 1nvestigate and if need be take | legal action for the abatement of the Tehama-street Carpet-beating Works. Messrs. Williams, Lang snd McEwen were appointed a committee on a bridle road in the park. WILL 80X FGR CHARITY, The, Manhattan Ciub Has Ar- ranged Its Programme of Sport. O'ympic Directors Are Scouring the Country for Good Fistic Talent.

Sport- ing men admit that Hawkins is a clever fellow and a hard puncner, but they snal their hend when *Dal'” mentions the champion lightweight as one of his pros- specuve opponents. Hawkins must be looking for a little advertising, as he cer- tainly is aware that Lavigne cannot get down to 128 pounds without entering the ring in a weak state. Hawkins should take on nis old opponent Gans, of Balti- more, again before making overtures t> the champion.

CANNOT GET THE MONEY. The Protestant Orphan Asylum De- prived of the Barron Bequest. | When the late Edward Barron died he left an estate valued at about two million dollars. Of this amount $5000 was, accord- | ing to his will. to go 10 the San Francisco | Protestant Orphan Asylum. George BarTon, ron of the deceased, made a con- test of ‘the will in the courtsin San Jose | on the ground that his parent was of un- sound mind ana that he was unduly in- fluenced by his wife. He succeeded in breaking the will and a new trial of the | matter was ordered and the case is still pending. The officials of the asylum association insisted on the probate of the will and set up the claim that the son in beginning the action did not legally serve them with a notice witnin one vear atter the will was filed for probate. The lower court de- cided that proper notice had been served, s0 the association applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to compel the iower court to annul its order.
