ALL GRAINS SHOW A DECLINE

No Buyers for Shipping Wheat, Even

Also in Flour.

San Francisco, March 30th
All grains show decline. Wheat is
lower, and shippers will not buy, even at
the lower prices; a cargo of 56. 237 centals
down from Port Costa for South Africa;
speculative values show further decline.
Owing to the drop in Milling Wheat, there
has been a decline in Flour for Bakers
and Family Extras Barley is lower and
quite dull at that. Oats show an easier
feeling: prices. as revised, show changes
in the downward direction. \ wider range
on White Corn is the only change re-
ported. No Corn nor Oats arrived to-day
Fruit prices show no material changes.

VIII Probably Be Seated.


The noE-action of the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections yesterday in
the Corbett election case is regarded As
significant. The committee was called for
d special meeting yesterday, but it was
postponed a the last moment by the sub
Stitutlon OF tile name OF senator TIFiey
for that Of Senator Faulkner as a mem
Der or the Committee. Everything had
been arranged for favorable report on
the case.
Senator Chandlert0l The Times reporter
early last week that the committee would,
by a party vote, report the Corbett case
favorahly. There are nine members of this
committee-four Democrats and five Repub.
leans. The easel is not rega rded as a party
measure.
Senator Turley, it will be remembered,
was appointed to a seat in the Senate
to succeed the Hon. Isham G Harris, who
died in June last. OF course. he was
seated upon the governors appointment,
and, naturally enough. he is of the opinion
that Senator appointed by the governor is
entitled 10 a seat. Now that AIR. Tdrley
has been made member of this committee
it is asserted with much positiveness that
he will join il reporting favorably TO Mr..
Corbett.
There are several Democratic Senators
who are certain to vote for seating Mr,
Corbett, and, with practically solid sup,
port from the Republican side of the
chamber, the probabilities are that Mr
Corhett will be seated, with several votes
to spare.
