public today. but few days ago ne'
complications arose. This morning
was stated that matters were turtle
from settlement than ever. The EN-
ployment Of dining cars on the Contra
and Southern Pacific lines has not We
been determined upon, their use beini
made to depend upon the action o
other roads. II the Northern Pacific
runs them on through trains, eastern
connections of the Pacific roads vii
doubtless put them on. In that cas-
they will be run into San Francisco.
Benents Of the Chinese Trade.
SAN FsANcnoo, June lS.-Noue of the
opium imported is going east. most of il
will be used in this city. Those best
qualified TO judge estimate thar before
July LIST. when the tax is increased from
IS to so per pound, over 5000, coo
worth of the drug will have been inn
ported and held for use in this city.
This heavy importation shows to what
extent opium is smoked here.
Eneraeas wheat Yield.
SAN Francisco, June 19.-White &
Lissak. grain merchants, who from time
TO time compile and issue statistics of
the grain yield, stated today to an Asso-
ciated Press representative that the
wheat yield Of California this year
would, at the lowest calculation, be
100000 bushels. The probabilities
are that the quantity will exceed this,
but it certainly will not be less. Had it
not been for the hot weather in the
early part of June, the crop would rea oh
the enormous figure of 90, 900 900 bushels
as 1t IL there, be close onto a million
and half tons for export. The pro
blem now to be solved is where are the
vessels to come from to carry wheat to
market. 1t is strongly hoped in soane
quarters that the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company will be willing and
able to carry out its promise made
OF shipping wheat to Liverpool via New
Orleans. The first two consignments
OF new California wheat, this years
crop, arrived today. One lot came from
Solano county; the other, from Stanis-
laus county. Last year the first new
wheat did not arrive until July 9th,
though IN 1881 it came in as early as
June 7th.
