THE WHEAT SITUATION.
Indications OF q Decline in Prices-ToI
mage Engaged for New California Crop

Indications ola Decline in Prices-Ton-
mage Engaged for New California Crop.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.-The local situation
In wheat has undergone little change, business
having for a long time been confined to very
narrow limits, with the exporters practically
out of the market, and millers are pursuing a
hand-to-mouth policy. In England nearby
cargoes have recently fuctuated to some extent,
with occasional marked advance in conse-
quence of a more active demand in France.
Otherwise there have been no changes of any
note, and none which could be accepted as
favoring the immediate appreciation OF local
values. In the meantime, however, a
number of vessels have been chartered
here for future loading. and a few for present
account but later were provided for by the ex-
porters who had the wheat mostly on hand be-
fore charteriug. The new season will open
with flattering prospects as regards the yield OF
wheat and an adequate supply OF cheap ton
mage, though there is no expectation OF really
ing such high prices for wheat as prevailed dur
ing large part of 1891. The list of engaged tom
mage in port is steadily increasing, new charters
having Outnumbered the clearances of late.
Yesterday there were twenty-one vessels on the
engaged list, and ten of this number were for
new crop loading, the aggregate tonnage being
36 400 tons On the corresponding date OF last
year the engaged tonnage was about tho same,
being $1,000 tons, but there was a great differ
ence between the amounts OF disengaged
tonnage in port, the total being yesterday
1l1,o0O tons as against $4,000 the same
date last year. In 1891 the available supply of
free ships was for a long time exceedingly small
owing to spectators having cornersd about all
the tonnage on the way that they could get hold
OF. Their venture in that year proved disastrous
to them and there has been no inclination on
the part of others this season to assume such
hazardous risks, consequently wheat and
freights in 1892 will be adjusted on a more
equitable basis.
There was quite drop in the local sample
market yesterday, English values having q
marked downward tendency, but futures were
higher In Chicago and New York. Local re-
ceipts were 4,725 centals. There were sharp
dealings in futures and trading was active

My Dear Doctor-This day l come to
you In an important matter and request
you to attend to it at once. Ny grand
daughter aged nine years had la grippe a
few months ago and although recovered,
is very weak, exceedingly nervous and has
slight attacks OF ST. Vitus' dance. We are
very much worried about it. She can
hardly cut meat at the table, her hands
and fingers tremble in trying to button her
shoes, etc. 1t is impossible for her to 90
to Seattle and would like to know if you
could treat her after the short above des-
cription. She is also very fond Of playing
the piano and likes to read and to learn.
Every time she PLAYS now few minutes
only or reads, she is utterly exhausted and
must quit. Now what shall We do about
that7 Expecting answer by return mail,
Yours truly,
