A QUEER SITUATION.
Effect of the Latest Russian Ukase on

Effect of the Latest Russian Ukase on
California Wheat.
A San Francisco dispatch of the 2lst
says: Wheat options advanced l to .
cents per GENITAL to-day in response to
Eastern markets and owing to the news
that Russia had forbidden further ex-
port of that cereal In regard to
the effect here of the Russian ukase,
Secretary Erledlander, of the Produce
Exchange, said: "This market usually
follows that OF London, on which Europe
also depends. Liverpool and London
are now dependent on New York and
Chicago, as the United States now holds
the wheat. The San Francisco market
is now in peculiar condition.
The market has cornered itself with
out manipulation by reason of
scarcity of wheat and the al
most unprecedented number of ships
available and under charter for wheat
carrying. 1t is estimated that the stocks
of wheat in this state December will
not aggregate over 10000 tons, while
there are at present in port vessels
of 250,000 tons. Fifty more ships
are due here by the end of
this year. with an aggre-
gate of 10000 tons, making a
total of 10000 tons carrying capacity.
If all received cargoes, it VIII leave
surplus OF only 10000 tons of wheat by
the end of the year, and from this We
must provide for our own use and for
exports in the way of flour to Asia
and South America. The market
is relieved somewhat by Ore
gon shipments, but they cannot
send us enough to balance onr needs"
Owing to the surplusage OF wheat-car
rying vessels, charters to the United
Kingdom are rated at so to 50 shillings
and it is contended they may drop to
25 shillings. Should there be a further
decline in ocean freights, it is predicted
that spot wheat, which is now quoted at
Sl.S7 will 90 to 81 per GENITAL"

Shortly after noon on the 22d, when
the big Brooklyn bridge was covered
with promenaders, stranger jumped
from the center Of the main span to the
East River, l40 feet below, and was

clad in the garb of a 'longshoreman. As
he rode along he conversed nationally

who were with him. On reaching
the center of the span the man
jumped up and said: 81 guess

he was joking, replied: "All right; you
jump and I'll follow" He did Jump,

once, his head just showing, and sank
for the last time. The body has not yet

have Just come TO light. Last Saturday,

press stopped at Pixley, Cal, on its

men, masked and armed, were
waiting in the shadow of the tank
house just beyond the depot. They had
been lettering about there during
the afternoon, and were seen at the last
minute by some Chinese who gave the
alarm. The train was backed some dis
tance and then ran by the ambush at
very high rate of speed. No clue to
the robbers has been found as vet. 1t

Brooklyn his sister, Mrs. Norman

passed away. He had been appar-
emily getting better, and the
physicians had no idea that the end
was SO near. DR.. pancoast, who
had charge of the case, had left the
hotel about O'Clock secure in the idea
that his patient was doing as well as
could be expected. His brother, Pc
lice Inspector Conlin, left for New York

There is silver lining to the political
cloud in Iowa; the Democratic gov
ernor, Mr. Boies, is reelected, but the
remainder OF the Republican ticket is
elected. and the legislature is Repub-
lican on a Joint ballot. The prohibition
law and the railway influence have
thrown Iowa among the doubtful states

Massachusetts used to give splendid
Republican malOritles, but Of late wears
they have been cut down to almost
nothing, and three times within few
years the Democrats have elected their
candidate for governor. The principal
cause of Is is the rapidly increasing
Democratic vote in Boston. The COM
pleXion OF the vote i'll that city has
changed amazingly during the past
twelve or fifteen years. The Irish and
French-C Canadians are settling in that
city by the thousands annually, and al
though it is the Republican policy to
give them steady employment and
good wages. they insist on voting the
Democratic ticket 1t is queer state
of things when protected workingmei.

vote the free trade ticket. But in the
present instance, the Democratic can

young man, his administration had been
commendable, the party did not resolve
for cheap money. and therefore many
