[From the Commercial Herald] SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. Imports for the week under review embrace fall cargos of Tea, Coffee, etc., the markate for which are at present in demand. Bagurs and Syrup continue in active request, with an upward tendency. Rice is depressed. Previous of all kinds are rather buoyant. Rice favors the buyer. Spirits are neglected. Tobacco are the term dealer. At present we are exporting the presence of a large consignment of strangers in the city, congregating here in attendance whom the Fair of the Mechanics Institute. This is much the largest and finest industrial exhibition ever held on this count, and shows wonderful progress in mechanical and film arts, all worthy of special attention, and we regret our liability to do fall justice to the many exhibitions therein, simply for the want of space. Buffets is to say, that many visits to the Institute are required to compare the whole. The building and contents are, indeed, wonders to all, and especially to those who have for twenty-five years been residents on this coast. FLOUR—We continue to receive moderate supplies from Oregon and the Interior, sending prizes to some off a little. The steamer John L. Stephens from Oregon brought us the bulk of 1,000 bbls. The exports for the week include the bulk of 1,400 bbls for Central American ports per Costa Rica. 75 bbls to Panama. 256 bbls to Tahiti per Nautilus. The mehr Active, for Russian Possessions carried 4,000 qr sks. We note the sale of 2,000 bbls Golden Age Superfine for Hongkong at $40. Our leading mills both here and in the interior, are comparatively idle, for lack of an export trade. We quote Golden Age, Golden State, and Starr Millis Valley Extra at $435 25 $125 Be, with heavy contract miles for future delivery at very much lower rates. We note shipments of Flower to Guayaquil, Ecuador, per Hawaiian bark Omega, say 2,800 bfl sks, 2,900 qr sks; by same vessel to Central America, 1,000 hf sks. WILEY—The ship W. R. Grace was successfully loaded at the Antioch landing by the Grangers. Other ships will doubtless follow the same routine. The Fr bank Panilla takes a full cargo of Wheat to Callao. The receipts of Wheat continue very meagre—unusually light for this season of the year. The large river barges are idle, doing nothing, rotting, it may be, when they ought to be fully employed bringing grain to warehouse, for safety if the farmers are unwilling to make sales of it. As it is, we have no competitive buyers in the market, as was the case a year ago. Now everything is flat, unprofitable. No considerable lots of Wheat could now be sold at present rates. The little offering just suffices to feed the local trade wants of millers. The export inquiry is of no magnitude as our prices, even now, are far above the Liverpool quotation for average cargoes. Transactions for the week sum up as follows: all in lots: 19 $0 sks choice old milling; $182; 5 $0 sks inferior new for export; $141 $0 sks old milling; $154; "fair" for export; $157 $0 sks do; $154; Liverpool quotations for average, 10s ad @10s lod; club, 11s @11s, a very wide range. BARLEY—The arrivals are quite liberal. The Lochfleet for Liverpool carried 3,000 ctls. There is some interest for Chevalier for export, and sales made at $157 for 150 tops for shipment to Liverpool. Other lots of choice quality are held at $169 @169. We note sales of 5,000 sks coast feed at $135 @135; 2,000 sks do; $167 @167; 2,500 sks bright new; $169 @169; latter for brewing next fall; choice old brewing is held at $175. OATS—The stock of old is yet free, with continued Oregon supplies. Sales inconsiderable within the range of $169 @169 for feed. Nurprise; $165. RYE—The crop is large. Sales of 2,000 sks Coast at $197 Wetl. CORN—The demand is light, with small sales at $176 Wetl. Alexander T. Stewart. A Saratoga correspondent of one of the city papers thus describes the appearance, etc., of the famous New York merchant, A. T. Stewart. The writer says: "He dresses in black. His clothes are well made and fit him perfectly. His only jewelry consists of a plain gold watch, worth about $500, which he seldom disturbs from its place in his vest-pocket. He loathes all unnecessary personal adornment. Three small, plain linen-covered buttons appear on his shirt bosom No watch chain is visible. He wears a black beaver hat, which weighs a half pound less than the heavy gray stovepipes, which fashion ordains shall be worn this summer. His hair, of a reddish gray, is neatly dressed at all times. His beard, which is more tinted with gray than his hair, is short, and trimmed regularly, so as to be kept at the same length all the year round. Where a cumbersome mustache ought to be, a hair is never permitted to attain more than a day's growth. He is of a slender, though compact physique. His complexion is ruddy, and bespeaks the best of health. He always looks as if he had just left the toilet table. This man is seventy-four years of age. In conversation, his keen blue eyes are never for an instant taken off yours. His face bears the impress of prudence, discretion, self-confidence, a calmness impossible to ruffie, and above all of honesty and truthfulness. He never speaks loud enough to be heard ten steps from where he stands. Eaves-droppers can not catch even the sound of his voice. He shakes hands with you cordially, nay even warmly. He is courtesy and politeness itself. His conversation is always couched in the refined language of the educated gentleman. He uses no slang. He is witty and at times vivacious. He is no teetotaler; he drinks only at meal hours; his favorite wines are Johannisberg, from Prince Metternich's private vineyard, the like of which is not easily found in this country; he is fond of sherry and madeira; his wine-cellar contains probably the room are valued contains a heavy wine double extension; but table chairs, ed by paneling-of-staintally constructed valued at $2,500 duplicate this entire room; on Bush stairs specially got up, but lar Enterprise to furnish dwellers in letn. A BRILLIES The Union Gas constricted the possible building in which we call attention CALIFORNIA PURCHASED URING HARLEY- The arrivals are quite literal.

Since then other lots have been purchased at 27%, 28%, at which holders are now firm in their demands. New York adresses of Aug. 14th, in Emmet Wells circular, state that The speculative feeling in our last has been continued in this greater portion of the operations being on that basis as high as 20c being paid, consumers holding off not having much faith in the movement. Some parcels of Old have changed hands on private terms. The result of the early operations last year was disastrous to the buyers, and we would advise growers this season to holdades from pressing immediate early prices will be the best. Reports from all over the country are favorable for the crop, with the exception of a slight attack of plight in some sections of Ontario County. The first bale of the crop of IA was received this week by Smith & Girvan, ranked in Ontario it will be satisfactory. It was sold to Quinn & Nolan, N.Y., on private terms. CORN MEAL- Is in fair request for feed, jobbing at $42 lton. Pockets for table use, 3%/3%/3%/3%. WOOL- The steamer John L. Stephens from Oregon brought us 256 bales.

Comb sells slowly at 20%/22c; strained is a drug, and is offered at nominal prices, say 79%. According to quality. DAIRY PRODUCTS- New York State Cheese is jobbing at 18%/7c; Western Reserve, 13%/7c; Oregon Butter is in light stock, selling at 20%/7c; according to quality. Choice Fresh Roll Butter has now advanced to 35%/37c Point Reyes, 49o. California keg and pickled Roll is in demand at current rates, say 20%/32c for Firkin, and 32%/33c for pickled Roll.

He is the last of his race." A VALUABLE GAS WELL.- An abandoned oil well at Leechburg, Pennsylvania, from which much gas, but no oil, has been obtained, is now, says the National Oil Journal, being utilized and made to yield a profit as large as if its product was petroleum itself. The well was sunk in search of oil, and at the depth of twelve hundred feet a vein of gas was opened, the flow from which was so great as to prevent further drilling. The well was abandoned when Mr. Rogers, of the firm of Rogers & Burchfield, conceived the idea of utilizing the rapidly wasting gas in furnishing fuel for their rolling mill. He purchased the well and fitted up a large iron receiver, where it was freed from the water with which it was impregnated when thrown from the well. From this receiver the gas is conducted a distance of one thousand feet to the rolling mill, through a two-inch pipe. They are burning it under a battery of four large boilers, which produce steam sufficient to run seven pairs of rolls and two large steam hammers. The amount burned in the mill does not equal one-tenth of the supply furnished by the well; and the firm now propose to lay a large pipe, and carry the gas to their annealing and sheet furnaces. Mr. Rogers expresses the opinion that it yields a better and purer heat than coal, and enables them to produce a larger quantity of iron. By the use of the gas the firm saves the price of one thousand bushels of coal per day. A STORY OF TOM MARSHALL.- On one occasion Tom Marshall heard R.J. Breckinridge preach, and falling in with him after the service, accompanied him home. "Why don't you preach better?" said Marshall. "I do as well as I can," answered Breckinridge. "Why don't you preach as the Saviour did?" continued Marshall. "That's hard to do," rejoined Breckinridge. "Preach in parables," said Marshall; "that is a very simple and easy thing POULTRY—The supply is good, while the demand is moderate, and trade fair at our quotations. We quote Hens and Roosters, $7 50/80; Brothers, $34; tame Ducks, $66; tame Geese, $12 50; pair; live Turkeys source at 20/20; Hare, $15/20; and slow sale; Venison is plentiful at 8/10. CATTLE—Meats of all descriptions plentiful and cheap; quality excellent. Slaughterer's prices are: Beef, quarter, first quality, 3/70; second quality, 3/4%a. Mutton is plentiful at 4/90. Spring Lamb, 60 (calves) are sourced at 9/90. Hogs are in fair demand, and prices are firm at 9/90; the latter rate for small, which are very scarce, and 8/90 for dressed. The latter for choice small hogs. FRUIT—Supplies of Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, etc., continue in excess of the demand. Prices rule low for common sorts, which largely predominate. Many of the Peaches received are not worth the freight and have to be "dumped." Tomatoes have again become an overstock, and are in excess of the demand. Blackberries and Red Currants are yet obtainable, and so are Fruits and Melons of all kinds. Grapes are abundant and cheap. Too much trash is sent to market, that ought to be kept at homes and dried, or else fed to hogs. We quote as follows: Apples, cooking, 56/750 box; choice, 750/125. Plums, 15/800 box. Peaches, 30/800 box. Basket: Mountain do, 50/800. Grape: Sweatwater and Chaselas, 15/800. Museum: Rose of Pern and Black Hamburg, 20/800; Wine, 15/80%; Tekay, 60. Raspberries, 16/800 box.

Agricultural implements—the display of Steel Plows and other implementations of husbandry at the Fair of the Mechanics Institute is very creditable to the manufacturers on this coast as well as to all she leading dealers in this important line of business. Among other exhibitors we note those of Liffort-Kellogg & On-Marcus Hawley & Co. Baker & Hamilton Tradesman Ona Marecx O'Hawley & Co. Baker & Hamilton Tradesman Ona Marecx O'Hawley & Co.

MAGS AND BAGGING—There appear to be a decided break in the market, and prices for Standard Real Irish Barrel Grain Sacks have dropped to Mintage for most hand-signed. The active manure on account of their extreme hardness and fine finish, are used very extensively, and are probably employed by two thirds of the farmers on the coast, and to give entire satisfaction; they range in price from $1 to $44 according to size. Two Pacific Mail Steamship Company have recently launched two of the finest steamships in the world, the City of Peking and the City of Tokyo, each of which cost $1,150,000. They are now receiving their machinery and outfits at New York, and will sell for this port, one within the next thirty days, and the other within sixty days. On their arrival the China line will be composed of the Great Republic, China, Japan, City of Peking, and City of Tokio. The Alaska and Colorado now on this route will be held in reserve for emergencies, one at Hong Kong and one as San Francisco to use as extra ships in the ten season. The Panama line will comprise the steamers Granada, Colima, Montana, Constitucion Ancon, Arizona, Costa Rica, Pacific Winchester, and Salvador. A Story of Tom Marshall heard R.J. Breckinridge preach, and falling in with him after the service, accompanied him home. "Why don't you preach better?" said Marshall. "I do as well as I can," answered Breckinridge. "Why don't you preach as the Saviour did?" continued Marshall. "That's hard to do," rejoined Breckinridge. "Preach in parables," said Marshall; "that is a very simple and easy thing to do; that's the way our Lord sets forth the truth." "Well, Tom," said Breckinridge, "I have as high an opinion of your talents as anybody else has, and I set a higher estimate on your reading and information that most people do. I defy you to make one in literature—outside of the New Testament." "Non sense!" exclaimed Marshall; "I can make fifty,and I can find a hundred." "Well, try it,and let me know," replied Breckinridge. Shortly afterward they met again. "Well,Bob," said Marshall,"what about those things—the parables? I have tried my best,and I can't make one; I've looked everywhere,and I can't find one. What does it all mean? I give up it." "You see," replied Breckinridge,"why I don't preach in parables.I can't do that." —Galaxy. A celebrated artist of Boston who excels in painting animals,saw,ahe was passing through one of the rural towns Massachusetts,a very animated-looking bull. Thinking he would like to take him on canvas,his got permission of the owner,the honest old farmer,and in due time produced an excellent likeness of the bullwhich was sold for $200.On seeing the farmer soon after,他 told him he had sold the picture of his bull for $200.“Good gracious!”said the old man;“why I would have sold him the bull for less than that!” What is wanted in Kansas are more telegraph poles,或 stronger ones.The average pole holds only about four horse-thieves comfortably.-Milwaukee Sentinel. The Ninth Industrial Exhibition, Held under the auspices of the Mechanics' Institute, opened August 18th, in San Francisco, to be continued one month. Among the exhibitors we call attention to the following: CALIFORNIA FURNITURE MANUFACTURING COMPANY. One of the most extensive displays, and correspondingly costly and magnificent, contained in the Pavilion is that made by the California Furniture Manufacturing Company, successors of N. P. Cole & Co., and, as representing the perfection obtained in an important branch of local manufactures, it exudes surprise and admiration. Heretofore large sums have been expended abroad for the furnishing and adornment of the palatial residences of San Francisco, but an inpection of these specimens affords sufficient assurance that the work executed in this city is equal in elegance and every quality to that obtained from foreign artisans, and imported at extravagant prices. The company occupy a large area in the central section of the north gallery, which is divided into three apartments, indoored with glass partitions, and representing the principal divisions of a residence. The first is a dining-room, the second a drawing-room, and the third a sleeping apartment. Each is fitted up with beautiful carpets of effective colors, bronze ornaments, elegant mirrors, costly gas fixtures, etc., and the furniture is on a scale of royal splendor. The drawing-room set embraces sixteen pieces, presenting about as many different styles, which is in keeping with the latest fashionable rule, requiring variety rather than uniformity. The most conspicuous are a sofa and large easy-chairs, in ponceau broche; an easy-chair, in black satin, with gold satin puff; a reclining-chair, in light-blue satin, with inserted figured satin through the centre; a fancy medallion-chair, in drab satin, with blue satin puff; gilt chairs in ponceau satin of varied colors; and an etagere, finished in wax and gilt. All of these are entirely of home manufacture, and the company have filled several orders in the city for precisely similar articles. The price of this drawing-room set and fixtures complete is fixed at $5,000. The furniture of the chamber corresponds in elegance and superiority of material. It consists principally of an elaborately-carved walnut bedstead, a Sultana lounge, rocking chair, easy-chairs, tables, glass-door armoire, all in back walnut, and a commode and chiffonier, finished in ebony and wax. The drapery and ornaments are very rich, and in all there is a harmonious effect. The contents of this model room are valued at $2,000. The dining-room contains a heavy walnut mirror, dining-table double extension, book-case, buffet, easy chairs, and table chairs, all the articles being ornamented by paneling-of French walnut and most substantially constructed. The dining-room set is valued at $2,500. The company are prepared to duplicate this entire set on order, at their salesrooms, on Bush street, and the display is not especially got up, but merely represents their regular enterprise to meet the fastidious requirements of dwellers in San Francisco.—S.

BETHESA DIMERAL SPRING WATER OF WAUKESHA, WI. Arain we are called upon to cite another instance of Bethesa's marvelous triumphs. The subjoined will give an idea of its continued success in effecting cares: ROSEVILLE JUNCTION, Cal., May 25, 1794. San Francisco—Gentlemen: I take pleasure in informing you of my almost miraculous cure from the use of Bethesa Water. I had been under treatment of several physicians in Sherman's office; own town Riverside was key to my own well-being and acclimatization fever sorris on them: also an inward fever. After the use of Bethesa Water two days, the inward fever left me entirely; within the short space of two weeks the sore on my limbs burst; and ulcharged a large quantity of bloody urine. One of my knees was so swollen that I felt it after the sort quite dislaced I could become胀 as I am able to walk and see as well as ever, enjoying their free use and am well. MRS AMANDA M. SMITH.

The Union Gas Machine Company have demonstrated the possibility of ligating the immense building in which the Mechanics' Industrial Exhibition is held, so that all visitors admit that gaslight is better, if not cheaper, than daylight. The city people have for many years enjoyed the luxury of gaslight, while the people residing in the country were compelled to burn dangerous fluids and oils. So many accidents have resulted from the use of Kerosene that there has for a long time been a demand for some substitute, which would have equal illuminating power, but would be safe for even children to use, without the possibility of explosion. Human ingenuity was sufficient for the task, and now every hotel, every store, and every dwelling may be cheaply and splendidly illuminated with gas. A machine has been invented by this company, costing not more than $250 or $350, by which gas may be generated by water, provided a person has a tank of water twenty or thirty feet high. We do not hesitate to pronounce this one of the most valuable inventions on exhibition at the Pavilion. The machine produces gas for 100 lights, and may be increased to 200. The gas burns with as much regularity as coal gas. This is accounted for by the great improvement, adopted by this company, of running their machine by water. Gas machines running by weight proved a failure for this reason: when the weight runs down out goes the light when least expected, but the Union Gas Machine will run for months without the least danger of suddenly enveloping the inmates of the house in darkness. It is not only adapted to country use, but has several other advantages: 1. It is the only machine adapted to city use. 2. It is the only gas machine that generates gas by water. 3. It makes the cheapest gas, only costing $150 per thousand feet, while coal gas costs two or three times as much. 4. This is the only gas machine that has proved a success for a term of years. 5. It is self-regulating, being always ready to light. The office of the Union Gas Machine Co. is at 633 Washington Street, San Francisco. DURYEA'S SATIN GLOSS STARCH. All people of taste and refinement have a special dislike for linen unless it is purely white, and all who are conversant with the subject know that spotless linen is an impossibility without pure starch. As this is a subject of general interest, and there are several brands of starch in the market, all are anxious to know who makes the very best starch. In a conspicuous place in the Pavilion, visitors can see several of the medals awarded to the manufacturers of Duryea's Starch. We find that it received the first prize medal at the International Exhibition in London in 1862, at Hamburg in 1863, at Cologne in 1865, and at Paris in 1867 for "Perfection of Quality." The company furnishes us with the following statement: "In every instance where Duryea's Improved Corn Starch has been exhibited in the United States and Europe, it has not only received the highest prize medal, but in most cases, in addition, a superlative report and diploma for its incontestable excellence. It therefore stands commended, without comment of the makers, as the BEST IN THE WORLD." Much of the so-called starch in market contains impurities, which are noticeable by a yellowish tinge or musty smell. Starch in its natural purity is perfectly white, free from sourness and disagreeable odors. To manufacture pure starch, it is necessary to have pure, soft water, and the Glen Cove Starch Works claim to have the advantage over every other company in this respect, as the water they use is soft, colorless, and entirely free from minerals. Their spring covers an area of 100 by 150 feet, and is curbed with plank, extending above ground to prevent any drainage into it. Of course, any one can see NOTICE TO THOSE AFFLICTED WITH RUPTURE DR J.A.SHERMAN respectfully notifies his patients, and thus we wish to consult him and obtain a method of curing Rupture, that he is now in San Francisco, and may be consulted at his office. 240 Montgomery Street, Principal office, 1 Ann Street, New York formerly GBT Broadway.

TYLER REACH.President Office corner Fourth and Townsend St.,San Francisco. The Pacific Irrigating Pipe and Pump Co. A.M.JEWELL,Sauce Office and Factory SOUTH POINT MILL Berry St.,between Tenth and Fourth St.,San Francisco. CANNED FRUITS, ETC. The display made by Cutting & Co. is very pleasant in an appetizing point of view. They have arranged in handsome pyramidal shape specimens of all the articles peculiar to their line of business. There are canned goods in bewildering variety, comprising all the articles necessary to a complete repast on the most desolate island in mid ocean without limiting the number of courses. You might begin with soup, follow the soup with a variety of fish, and pass on in order to meats, with vegetable side dishes and relishes of every description, finally ending with a profusion of fruits such as are found nowhere else in the world, and preserved milk and coffee. He who first imagined the device of preserving perishable articles of food by canning them builded wiser than he knew, and was a public benefactor. The pickles, catupus, and other relishes are an important feature of the display of this enterprising firm, which has made itself known at the East and in England, where fine goods of this kind are properly appreciated. These specimens are only samples from the immense establishment of Cutting & Co., which employs dur­e season of canning fruits and vegetables and preparing their relishes no less than eight hundred operatives. The reputation of this firm is so well known that little need be said in regard to the excellent quality of goods they put up. For twenty years the business men of San Francisco and the Pacific coast have bought and sold their canned fruits, and the demand is such that they are sometimes unable to fill their orders. It is certainly a great treat to be allowed to enjoy the luxuries of summer at a very moderate expense, and it is to be expected that the reputation of this firm, which is already growing at the East, will in a few years be equal to that which it now enjoys on this coast. The advantages of California over other sections are more apparent in the fruit interest than in any other, and it is a credit to the Pacific coast to be able to supply the markets of the world with canned fruits. It is hardly necessary to add that the firm of Cutting & Co. is the oldest in San Francisco in this line of business. HUM XPOSED FANCY GOODS.

WAKELEE'S PATENTED Granulated Squirrel Exterminator, A New and Most Destructive Poison for the Worst Feast of California. For years the farmers of the Pacific Coast have been spending money in experimenting to find a safe, cheap, and efficient way of ridding their grain fields of their worst enemy, the squirrels, which destroy their life. Dollar worth of grain per year; and unless a strong and communal effort is made to kill them off, they will become more numerous every year. Wakelee's Granulated Squirrel Exterminator is just the thing the farmers of California have been looking for. It is sure death. One or two grains of it will kill a squirrel so quick that it gets there. The Poison is put up by its granular form, and easily handled; in nine pounds at 81 per pound. It goes a great way, as ten to fifteen grains of it are sufficient to place at each hole. Also successfully used for killing gophers and rats. It has been thoroughly tested in different parts of the country, and gave unanticipated satisfaction. It is kept and sold by draughtsmen and designers generally through the country. The following are some of my testimonials, viz: SANTA CLARA, April 29th, 1874. H. P. Wakelee, Esq.: Your Squirrel Exterminator was used according to your directions on my Quito Farm with excellent success, and in my estimation it is just the thing the farmers want to kill their squirrels. J. K. ARGUELLO. San Leandro, Cal., April 3d, 1874. H. P. Wakelee, Esq.-Dear Sir: I have given your Squirrel Exterminator a fair trial, and find it to be an economical-and very destructive preparation, and I can safely recommend it to our farmers. J. M. ESTUDILLO. Doougherty Station, Alameda Co., Cal. Mr. H. P. Wakelee, San Francisco.-I have used your Squirrel exterminator, and found it to be just what you claim for it. It is sure death. Yours, C.M.
