BETTER TONE TO WHEAT MAR
KET AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Barley Inactive and Receipts Com.
ing in Treely-Fancy Oats
Scarce.

San Francisco, Aug. 31st.
Chicago Wheat is stronger; the local
market is steadier and there seems TO be
more disposition to do business; a cargo
down to-day from Port Costa for England.
Flour has remained unchanged during the
week; export business has been quite ac-
tive. Barley is still inactive and coming in
freely from along the coast; options are
quiet. Oats have been arriving sparingly;
prices have undergone no changes, trading
being still of a hand-to-mouth character;
Fancy Oats are scarce and are wanted.
Corn is steady; the demand is fairly good;
practically nothing but Eastern Corn on
the market at present. Rye has been firm
ly held some choice bringing 81 1919
During the week Pc aches and Pears have
been advancing, both packed and in bulk;
the receipts of both have decreased con-
siderably. Berries have arrived sparingly
and have cleaned up well; very few Rasp-
brought fancy prices. Grapes have been
more than abundant, and, with the excep-
ton of shipping days, have sold at low
prices. ounces arrived during the week,
but they are not much wanted Water
melons and Cantaloupes are in limited sup
ply and are firm. Figs and Neotarines
cut but little figure and might as well be
out altogether.
Dried Fruits new CROP have ruled very
firm, and prospects are good for the prices
being sustained and even going higher.
Aprlcots were more active at the begin
ming, but are now more quiet but prices
show no weakening. Prunes and Raisins
have an advancing tendency.
Butter is weak the trade turned to
packed goods, and fresh goods accumu-
lated The presence of large quantities of
Eastern Eggs on the market has weakened
local stock; the quality of native Eggs is
poor, generally; market weak.

A Prophecies Confounded.

One of the most diverting tales tolo
in connection with the art of anagram
making relates to a certain Dame Elean-
or Davies, wife of Sir Joshua Davies,
says a writer in Lippincott's Magazine.
She lived in the time of Charles I and
was a constant croaker and foreteller of
evil. At length she made herself SO OBJ
noxious to the government that she was
cited to appear before the court of high
commission. She fancied that she was
gifted with prophetic powers, because
the letters Of Eleanor Davies formed the
nnagram "Reveal, o Daniel" This was
not a good anagram, as it used the 'l''
twice and did not employ the IS" at all.
She resisted all the efforts of the
bishops to bring her to reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by a witty
dean, who hoisted her with her own
petard by making another anagram, not
80 complimentary to her prophetic in.

success began in the composing room,
when a female compositor revolted at
the unaccustomed combination of men

doubt it was all very sudden and unex-
pected. 1t shook the editorial and COM

limited number Of worthy people who

notorious Californian earthquake. The
climax was precipitated when the Justly
indignant editor, whose motives, liter
airy judgment and good taste had been
impeached, declared that 1.-THE Luck of

very next number Of The Overland
Monthly or he would resign his office.
Wisdom finally prevailed, the article

CURSE TO THE NATION.

By their vote in the autumnal
election the people decided that the
tariff should be revised upon protec-
tive as we'll as upon lines.
There is no question that this was
the voice expressed, and we are glad
in this behalf that the president has
convened congress into extraordina-
nv session. Let a wise tariff law be
passed. Check the foolish business
of selling bonds to pay government
al expenses. If the country is in sore
distress from the depredations of a
Cleveland administration-and every
body allows that it is-let the dis
tress be removed. If free trade is
the cause Of our national sorrow-the
people say it is-let no one stay the
progress of reform for a single day.
Some do not believe that protect
ion will cure existing %exils; but there
is no doubt left as to the popular ma
tional desire. Give us protection and
revenue, with ample time to note the
results.
There is n point upon which
most Americans are agreed: That
Cleveland's work for the past four
years was notably un-American and
terribly blighting upon the country.
For outside the Anglo Maniac strip
from Passamaquoddy bay to Sandy
Hook, there is no considerable body
of people with spirit to laud hi'
praise. He has been a curse to the
nation, a blast to industry and a by.

1.-TWO months ago, sir, Samuel It'd

in this town. The angel Of peace had

His Mother Would Do.

park to one of the pottery towns. The
opening was a big event, and the Prince
of Wales was asked to perform the cere-
mony. A deputation waited on the
prince accordingly, a wealthy and
worthy magistrate being spokesman.
Honest old John was noted less for

The status of politics at Neihart is
peculiar. Ere this issue is printed,
the candidates for alderman in three
wards will have been named, but un
til the last horn blows there will be
no candidates named. And when
they are named, they will not
represent any political party. There
are known to be a good many Bark

known to be several good men in
each ward. But the election is
purely a matter of persons and quail

it will be hot and heavy. There is

truth of the precept.
