CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Wheat was very dull
but firm today. Strong outside and foreign
markets and anticipations of less bearish
statistics Monday caused some covering by
shorts, resulting in %0%c advance in May.
Other markets also leaned decidedly toward
the bull side corn and oats advancing about
Nc each and provisions closing 21k@712c
higher Wheat opened very tame, but quite
firm at about nc higher than it closed the
day before. May 91Bc. 1t sold few mo-
ments later at 92c and for some time held
at 91B@92c. The weeks clearances Of wheat
and flour, as reported by Bradstreet's, were
considerably smaller than they have been
running for a long time back. The amount
of the weeks clearances from both coasts
is 1904, 900 Blu, against $685. 600 blu week ago
and 4,222OO0 blu the corresponding day of the
year before. The Minneapolis and Duluth
receipts today were $50 cars, against 6SS last
week and 376 the corresponding day of 1896.
Chicago received 22S cars, against 80 last
year on the similar day. Minneapolis and
Duluth receipts for the week were 633 cars
less than they were the week previous. 1t
was reported from Minneapolis that 40 cars
OF their receipts today were Armour & Co.'S
wheat, en- route from Eureka station to Chi
cago. Weather in Argentine was reported
more favorable. Beerbohm estimated the
"OlAO shlplIitHIS lOI the week 10 Europe
at 100000 gu and expects a decrease in
the quantity on ocean passage Minneapolis
announced its estimate to its stock of wheat
for the week from 100000 blu increase as
reported yesterday to from 100000 blu to 6OO,-
600 Blu increase In addition to wheat de-
hvered yesterday afternoon for December
contracts, 100000 blu were delivered out to-
day by Armour & Co., and paid for by Allen
Grier & eller. 1t had already been taken
for granted, however, by the trade that all

time back had the money in the bank ready
to pay ON demand. Outside markets all
showed strength. The days clearanees of
wheat and flour were swelled to total of
$4,000 blu the additional information that
New Orleans shipped 205,000 blu wheat and
$4,000 bbls Of -four, and Galveston 56, 900 bu
wheat. The market became much firmer in
tone near the close and made its best prices
for the day then. Shorts covered quite freely
and as offerings were moderate prices moved
up easily. May finally rose to 921a@925sc,
and was bringing 921ac as the session ended.
December was dealt in very sparingly. 1t
closed at SO or 15c lower than it did yester-
day.
Corn was dull. May ranged from 29A029Hc

VINTAGE IS OVER
Winners Wish That Producers Were
More Numerous

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. H.-The CAL
lfornia vintage of 1897 has been the most
extraordinary in the history Of the in
dustry. With less acreage than some
years ago, the vines have been so pro-
life that the dry wine product Is greater
by far than usual and has been exceeded
in only one or two seasons The coun-
ties Of Sonoma and Santa Clara have
surpassed all former yields and the quail
ity Of the wine promises to be among the
| best for many years. At the same time
the producers and the merchants are
confronted with the problem OF it's dis
position. The cessation Of the friendly
relation which existed during 1896 and
'08 between, the two classes adds gravity
to the situation.
On Wednesday next the members Of
the California Wine Makers Corpora
ton will meet in this city to decide for
their part what course shall he pursued
and what price shall be fixed. Presi-
dent Henry J. Crocker has just returned
from New York and will enlighten the
producers on the state Of affairs in the
East and the opportunities presented
of establishing direct markets in that
portion of the country, while Manager
Hotchkiss will report on the vintage of
the season and the volume of dry wines
which will have to be cared for AS thus
far compiled, Manager Hotchkiss' re-
turns of the dry wine vintage Of this
season are as follows:
Sonoma County, 100000 gallons.
| Santa Clara County, 7,750,00O gallons
Napa County, 100000 gallons.
Miscellaneous, 100000 gallons.
| Total, 25,750,000 gallons.
or the 1897 vintage it is estimated
that the California Wine Makers Cor
poration holds 15,75O,00O, and the dealers
and outside growers the remaining 10,-
900, 900 gallons. In considering the mar
keting of the crop the leftover stock
from former years will have to be taken
| into account.

FLOOD DAMAGE
People at Monte Cristo Threatened
With Starvation

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov 27.-The de-
struction of nearly thirty miles Of the
Everett and Monte Cristo railway by
the recent floods threatens to cause a
famine in the small mining town Of
Monte Cristo, which is cut off from the
outside world.
w. r. Biggers, in company with ten
other men, reached this city yesterday,
having walked distance of thirty miles.
Mr. Biggers said there was already a
scarcity Of food in Monte Cristo and
that the only salvation for it's 500 people
was to get out as quickly as they could.
The storekecpers have restricted the
amount of sales to each individual. The
day before MI. Biggers left forty men,
women and children had started to walk
to Tunnel No. 1. Most of the way Is
through snow two feet deep.
Speaking of the damage done to the
railroad Mr.. Biggers said: "In some
places the track. roadbed, steel rails
ties, ballast and all have been swept
out of sight. The rails were broken as
If they were glass or bent into all sorts
Of fantastic shapes by the terrible flood
which rose to height Of thirty feet over
