In San Francisco, yesterday, wheat
was selling at 81 471k@1 so per GENITAL
for good to choice shipping grades;
milling wheat, 81 521S@1 55 per GENITAL.
We are informed that DIR. Aug. G..
Kinney is having more surveys made at
the cascade rapids to get all the informa
tion necessary to thorough understand
ing of the problem there. The doctor
proposes that the tops of few rocks
there shall be removed, and asserts that
with that done boats will be able to
navigate those rapids during ordinary
high water, say three months of the
year.
1t is pitiful, in this city full, to see the
people who love Saddle Rock oysters
from experience in eating them, as they
come around to THE CHRONICLE show
window and weep over the shells here
to be seen. As one said last evening:
ST love The Dalles, but I'd rather stay
where can get Saddle Rocks every
day." The sight of those shells carry
the mind of the writer back to Havelys,
and-well, rather makes the mouth
water for more than a sight such as
this. Shades of Schafer, Fulton mar
ket, New York, the oyster room never
to be forgotten" says another.
The Columbia is swarming with blue
back salmon. They are the finest of
this species ever seen here, many of
them weighing from eight to ten pounds.
Ordaro have hoar, yaooix,od xrrifbiY, ha
past week for several tons of seines for
catching these fish. The wheels at The
Dalles are catching about ten ton per
day, and large quantities are being re-
ceived here from the Cascades and from
down the river. This is very early for
the run of bluebacks, about six weeks
earlier than they come last year. They
are excellent fish and considered about
as good for canning as the Chinook.
In the San Francisco wool markets
business has been good for the past
week, and representative dealers have
had a liberal share of trade. At the
moment, there is no supply of really
good free stock, as both shippers and
scourers take such wool as fast as offered.
The bulk of the bright foothill and good
San Joaquin arrivals have been sold and
there is continued demand at ruling
prices. The only styles of woods that
have not moved freely are defective and
poor descriptions, both short staple and
years fleece. All other woods GO off
quickly. Report sales foot up nearly
400,0 pounds at from 10 to 16 cents
per pound.
There will be another brisk shower of
old chestnuts fred at Hermann during
the coming campaign. Every old swamp
land swiper, every onion-eyed, red-nosed
and bowling old political sorehead in
his Congressional district will tell again
and again what Hermann didn't do, and
promised to do, and might, could, would
or should have done. And yet Hermann,
the peoples champion, will bere-elected
by overwhelming majority. He will
also sit above them like Democritus,
turning harmless jokes on the follies and
sorrows, the feeble struggles and the
evanescent chestnuts of the simple old
soreheads. Such is political life! Now
we represent the esthetic and more beau
tiful spirit of politics and talk decently
about decent folks, and again, we stand
not with the angels, but with the apple
woman, and fire unclean missiles through
the ambient air.
