There is scarce an industry in San .Francisco at present which is not inore or less affected by Chinese competition. Cigar manufactiers and dealers are disgusted with the growing depravity in taisto oil the part of the citizens which leads to the annual conuinption of nearly a hundred millions of Chinese cigars, the vilest in odor and appearance of all nicotian prodiuct-s ; the boot an11d shoe manufacturers ire grieved by the reflection that more than three thousand heathens are stetilinig away their custom and turning out at least one-fourth of all the leather goods manufactured in the city; the Italian fisherien and vegetable gardeners sigh to see pig-failed drawers of nots monopolizing the best fishing grounds in the harbor, or the bamuboo polo ind its twin swaying baskets providing "galrdel truck" for whole streets of families, while they themicselves knock uan patronized at the doors. Even the Irishimin, who (xpected no0 coli>-. tition in his profession of scftave14tg., imprecates bad luck t p the saddle-colored gutter .. A.Spe who picks papers and rags froim the mud before hiiii. The maniiiutifatctuire of clothinig, tin-wtare aind woolli fabrics has also 'heeni extensivelv indertalken, and, as is the case witi the other industries which the Chinese have emtered ulpol, mandte profitable to an astonishing degree. IRven as pawnbrokers they have snuown marked Iusineiis adbility, and will grind the faces of the poor in a way which wVould be highly credita ble to their shrewdest coimpetitor. They are betaking themselves to new pursuits every day, and there are now few mielanies and miaui facturers, htow'cver senure t hey might. once have deemed theimuselves to be in their specialties, who would feel surpriseld 110111d a (hilluan si1l denly offer himself in the market i& their coipet.t )r.
