The cargo of whaling supplies with which the schooner Bonanza was loaded was not damaged by the leak that caused the littic craft to abandon her voyage to Point Barrow. She was placed on the dry dock, where her cargo was discharged, and will ‘resume her voyage in about a week. The heavy weather strained her timbers amidship and the rud- der casing.

NORTHERN 0TS HAS PREFERENCE Dealers Talk on Govern- ment’s Supposed Discrimination. S 1505 S Superiority of Grain Hay Is Advanced Over the Timothy. The report has been current for some time that the Government is purchasing oats and hay from the markets of Oregon | and Washington to the detriment of the State of California, which, it is admitted, is being overlooked in that important mat- ter. i “ Several reasons are given for the neglect suffered by this State, one being the in- ferior quality of the oats that had been | at one time purchased for the Govern-| ment in this State for the Philippines. | Some are inclined to blame the trans-| actions of inspectors whom the Govern-| ment employed to pass upon the quallty | of oats purchased and accepted from the contractors, which, upon its arrival in Manila, was found to be not only unsa isfactory, but such as would not be ac- cepted from any responsible dealers in | the trade. There are those who are connected with | the trade who do not believe that the ‘Government authorities are showing dis- | erimination in favor of the Northern mar- i i i 1 kets, while ldmltung that big orders have been recently placed at Portland, Seattle and Tacoma. During the last two weeks the Govern- ment has placed an order on the Northern markets for 1600 tons of oats, though no houses of this city have not yet been def- Initely advised that it has been fulfilled. 1t is said that the prevailing price of | oats here is much Jower than on the Sourd, where it Is admitted that the last Government bids were $160 and $130, whereas this market's prices have been anywhere from $130 to $130, MARKET LACKS SUPPLY. The exceedingly large purchases made | in the Northern markets by the British | . Government for South African shipments | have been the means of materially ad-| vancing values in those markets, that: Government having paid from $160 to$170. | The British Government has, however, | made some purchases in San Francisco | ar about $1 45 to $150. | At that time, about a month ago, only] a small portion of the order could be filled through the San Francisco market, owing | to the lack of supply of the quality de- sired by the English. Another reason given for the lack of | orders for oats in this market is that :n | all probability the Government may have irvestigated and found that oats were ot | obtainable in sufficient quantities to fill| the desired orders. Now that the new | crop is arriving, it is estimated that orders can be filled shortly from this market even under $1 35. The last requisition of the Government for oats was not advertised in the San| Francisco market, but the reason may | be that timothy hay, such as the Govern- | ment is using in the Philippines, could not be obtaihed here and if oats and hay were brought to this market, it wouid | be the means of adding $250 or more per | ton to the Government cost, | The Government frequently finds ft| necessary to make up a mixed cargo of hay and oats and as the timothy hay is | only obtainable in the Narthern markets, except at an increased cost on account of freight, it may be that the Government | concluded to make its purchases of oats | in the same markets where the timothy hay is obtainable. i | GOVERNMENT PAYS HIGH. | On every hand it is urged that the| prevailing price of oats in San Francisco | is much lower than in the States of| Oregon and Washington. | A. Miller, of the firm of Miller & Co,, wholesale commission deals in hay and grain, sald yesterday that the Gov- ernment in purchasing its hay from the Northern mansets pays about $23 a tom, ard he further declared, as did J. G. Johnson of Benicia, that it could buy bet- ter grain-hay In San Francisco for $12. Miller said that the officers in Manila | were mostly all Eastern men, who are rejudiced against California grain hay n favor of timothy hay, which, with blue grass, is used altogether in the Eas Miller stands by the argument and a surance of many well posted authorities | on the subject, and declares that Califor- | nia grain hay is far superior to the tim- othy both in strength and quality. Miller goes on to say: Our Senators and Congressmen are evidently not working as hard for our State and its in- terests as are the Senators and Congressmen of Oregon and Washington for theirs. It is a fact beyond Gispute that our hay is of superfor quality and will give stock .more Such has been proved by the chemi- cal analysis of some of our most prominent chemists, we having submitted samples of both our own and the hay from Washington for the purpoge of a fair decision. Hay is gen- erally half and sometimes one-third the price the Government is paying in the north for a | poorer quality. No good reason can be as- signed why the Government should not take advantage of this creat difference, both in | quality and price, and purchase its hay in this | market. NONE BETTER THAN OURS. There is no trouble in obtaining all the hay required on short notice. We can compress it as desired and can to-day put it free on board at $12 50. J. G. Johnson had this to say in sup-! port of his argument that the Government | can find no better hay for its horses than can be purchased in this State: As a proof of the nutriment to be found in | the California grain hay, the use of it by{ some horsemen in the East, I should think, is sufficlent evidence for the 'Government of its superior quality. For the last four or five years we have been shipping, California grain hay for very valuable racehorses. If the .own- | ers of such valuable stock did not know the Strength and untriment in it they certainly | would not have it brought from here in prefer- | ence to using the hay they raise at their very doors. Our hay that sells for $12 here salls for $35 in the East, but the Government could ship any quantity from one to 100,000 tons, and for $12 it could be put alongside the ves- sel. But people in Washington and Oregon | have a stronger pull with the administration than have we folks of California. ARTILLERYMEN LEAVE FOR WEEK’'S CAMP AT STOCKTON First Battalion Departs for the Mill City for Instruction and Drill. The First Battalion of artillery left last | evening for Stockton, where it will be | in camp until the 22d inst. for instruection and drill.
