There is no change to note in the worlds
San Francisco. The special correspondent
Of the ADVERTISER, writing on the 18th in
slant, gives the following particulars:
THE NEW YoEk 1iARKET.
The advance in sugar has been fairly main
tanned, though the market is not so firm as
at last writing. The prospect of higher
prices fails to stimulate the movement in
raws or refined, and no new feature has been
developed. Sellers are firm and ask higher
prices, in many instances, than can be OBJ
tanned on the present basis of values. Con-
sumers. however, refrain from buying. Fair
to good refinery is held at 5 3-16@5 SIG
cents, and centrifugals at 1906 1-9 cents
for 92097 test.
WHAT BRADSTRRET's SAYS
On June 9Th is as follows: London has
shown during the week more or less signs of
weakness, and beet closes Cd lower. The
consumption for May shows up we'll in COM
parison with previous months, and the net
increase in consumption since January 1,
deducting all exports, shows an il crease of
20,755 tons. This includes a good deal of
refined held on account of exporters, which
is reckoned in the consumption, as it has not
yet appeared in the export movement. 1t is
fact that good deal of sugar has been hello
back in Germany and Austria in order that
the market might gain strength. Stocks
are at present Increasing and the demand
for the refined article has, and in all prob
ability will continue to show signs of re-
striction.
FOREIGN MARKETS.
More than 10000 tons of Cuban sugar
have been cleared for Mediterranean ports
alone, which will have the effect OF showing
rehners in the United States that they will
soon have to pay as much as Europeans for
their sugars. Rains ontinue in Cuba and
shortage is certain; stocks in all the ports
are smaller than last year. German refners
are purchasing beets for October and De-
cember delivery, the crop this season being
backward. The balance of crops from
British and French West Indies are being
shipped to England. In fact, to briefly sum-
mariEe the situation, all consuming and
producing countries are now above the
parity of the United States markets, and
American supplies must be curtailed unless
prices are advanced or those of the points of
production are declined. In Havana, owing
to bad weather, grinding has been suspended
on many large estates, and the reduction in
the crop is estimated at from so, 900 to 100, 900
tons. The stock of raw sugars in London on
May 10th was 94,513 tons, as against 111,92O
tons at the same date in 1sS4-or decrease
of II, 4o7 tens.

On Thursday the Chief Justice will hold
the Intermediary Court. The only case on

An elaborate book, called the Tariff and

Wells, Fargo & Co. here, enables him to
calculate, in few moments, the cost of

patient skill in compilation.

How cheap sugar can be sold, and yet
leave the producer profit, is the question
of the hour in this line of industry. The
cost of producing beet sugar in Germany is
estimated at 81 70 to So per hundred. With

MINING must surely be one of the
most active enterprises in and about
Shullsburg at this time. Read what
the Pich and cad proclaims. "The
dawn of successful mining era
here has appeared. Primitive meth
DDS of mining have been abandoned
and the slow and expensive drilling
by hand has been superseded by the
most perfect machinery which ac-
complishes more work in an hour
than could be done in day by for
mer means. The sound Of the en-
CINE whistles at the Shullsburg and
the Stump Grove mines as they
awaken the echoes among the hills
and prairies and regularly indicate
the hours of commencing and quit
ting labor is grateful to the ear; to
see the happy miners going to and
from their labor is pleasant to the
sight, and the many loads Of the
sparkling lead ore which are haul ed
through our streets on their way to
the smelling furnace are undoubted
proofs that the mines are worked
with judgment and that the enter
prises are a success All this change
in our mining affairs has not been
brought about by the croakers who
sit idly in the background frowning
down every enterprise which may
benefit anyone elso than themselves,
but it is due mostly to the ability,
tact and energy Of a woman. Not
withstanding these mining enter
prises have met with many an omin-
Gus frown from local sages, have
been opposed by rival schemes, and
hindered and delayed by unneces-
sary aud yexatious litigation, still
they have been pushed steadily for
ward, have been managed with skill
and good judgment and now prom
ises grand measure Of success az

ity as it must be to those who lave

credit upon Mr.. Perkins manage

whether there is another county in
the country that can produce as good
a showing in all respects Chronicle.

Such is not an everyday occur
rance, and the fraternity regards it
as more than common, dollars aud
desire necessary for such being the
prevailing obstacles. But, of course,
there are exceptions, and our es-

such an one. Last Thursday even
ing he took principal part at the
hymeneal altar, being united in mar

Of another amputation Of the foot
taken off at the instep, through fear
of blood poisoning. Last Thursday
DIR. Marks of Milwaukee, surgeon
for the railroad company, came here
for that purpose, which he performed
assisted by Drs. Vivian & Son and
Eastman. About an inch more was
taken off and John is doing very
nicely at this writing, considering
the pain and suffering he had to en-
dure. He has proved himself one

throughout his entire atlliction. We
trust that now he will realize the
very best results that circumstances
will permit.
