WHEAT ADVANCING.
Chicago Market Firm at Three
Eiphths Higher Than SATURDAY..

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Wheat opened TO-
day 1se to Ssc higher than it closed
Saturday, Notwithstanding 4d decline
at Liverpool to begin with. Paris was
higher, however, and mail advices from
Europe were exceptionally bullish- Re
ports from the Northwest were not so
rose colored as they had been, and gen
orally the news of the day favored
buying rather than selling.
The visible supply decreased 164, 600
bushels, Notwithstanding the heavy re-
ceipts at primary markets. In con-
nection with the visible statement, the
fact of Kansas City having increased
stocks only 26000 bushels and Toledo
having decreased $500 bushels, not
wfthstanding the very heavy receipts
at both places the last week, was a
subject of general remark
A fair cash business was done-15O,-
900 bushels and fifty boatloads at the
sea-board. The amount ON ocean pass
| age increased 10000 bushels. The
worlds shipments to Europe Last week
were ), ,290,0 900 bushels, against D, ,10S,O ,OJU
| bushels the week before, and 4,S11,OoO
bushels the corresponding week last
year The Atlantic port clearances OF
wheat and flour were equal to 330,OOO
bushels.
The closing cables reported Liverpool
only I'D lower than Saturdays final
quotation, Paris 10 centimes higher for
near and 50 centimes lower for later
deliveries. 1t was generally supposed
however, that the quotation of Novem-
ber- February term at Paris ON Sat-
urady was quoted in error 1 franc too
high, and that instead of 80 centimes
decline the price cabled to-day was 70
ceutimes higher than the true clos
ing price of the last week.
The general tendency of prices was
| downward up to about II o'clock, about
which time the bullishness that pre-
vailed for a short time. around the
opening began once more to assert II
self The news of the day was all IN
before the price started on its second
advance, and the bears meantime had
parted with a good dead of wheat. The
price of September, which had sold ear
ly at 76c, declined to 753sc, on advices
from the seaboard that foreigners were
resening cargoes there. Outside mar
kets were strong, and the bulls took
hold with renewed courage.
The Chicago shipments, amounting to
over $4,000 bushels, were the strongest
bull card, and was used in putting the
price of September to 771sc with rush.
September opened 11sc TO ssc higher at
7531 @76c sold off to 753s advanced to
771sc, closing at 761s@77c. ~

NARROW ESCAPE.
An Italian Saves His Family From
a Horrible Death.

OAKLAND, Aug. 9,-Paul Carrosa

merry buildings, and lived there with
his family.
The fire occurred shortly after 2
O'Clock this morning. Carrosso was

WHAT GAVE HIM AWAY.
A Tag on His Coat Lapel Branded
Him as a Liar

He is the pink of neatness and pro-
priety, he is violently in love with the
sweetest girl in town, and to add to
the misery of these absorbing circum-
stances, he is at present decidedly poor.
The latter condition is of recent date,
however, and it was only last week
that he donned the first ready-made
suit which had ever graced-or, as he
considered, disgraced-his wardrobe.
He called his mother and sisters into
the room, after getting into it, and
turned nervously around before them.
Does it fit decently?" he queried, in
an agony of doubt. 'Why-y-y, what's
the matter? Oh, yes a tag. L suppose
all this sort of clothing is tagged, isn't
2"
Never before, surely. were garments
tagged as were those, however; there
was a tag on the hem Of each trouser
| teg, one upon the LETT coat tail, and
another on his vest front, and still an
other on the sleeve. Even when bid
ding them goodbye. after waiting i'm
patiently while all the visible bits of
cardboard were cut away, they called
him back to remove still another. The
result was that he finally reached the
house of his iEamorata in anything but
peaceful frame OF mind.
She, too, was nervous, and they de-
parted for the thcater in haste. He no
ticed, just as soon IS he slipped out OF
his topcoat, that ter eyes sought his
figure constantly and interestcdly, but
his inward uncertainty about that suit
made him glover so that she said moth
ing, and the performance was half over
before he gathered courage to speak Of
the subject himself.
How do you like my new suit of
clothes?' he asked, at last, with what
calmness he could muster, and the girl
blushed nervously.
They're quite pretty, / think, she
said, with an apologetic smile, but
-"s
81 don't know whether they fit me
very we'll or not" he interrupted, des-
perate with the fear that she had di-
vined the secret of their origin, for
tried new tailor, and, although he
gave me several fittings, and-what's
the natter" he broke off to exclaim
wildly. as he saw the light of dawning
laughter in her eyes. What is it, dear

pretty lashes grew stronger momentar-
