Flour Very Firm-Barley Again
Higher for Both Feed

San Francisco, July 21st
Wheat continues on its upward course,
not only in this market, but reports from
all centers are of like character; both
spot and futures have further advanced;
the local speculative market did not adj
vance as sharply as it did yesterday. how
ever. Flour is very firm, with pro-
nounced upward tendency. Barley is
again higher for both feed and brewing
and firmly held at the quotations; options
are also stronger although transactions
are not numerous. Yellow corn is still NOM
inal, with white firm: none arrived to-
day. Very little new rye here; the mar
ket is stronger.
Apricots are dragging and are lower
the cots in bulk are mostly poor stock
The changes that appear are, as a rule,
toward lower prices. Watermelons move
slowly, owing to cool weather; those from
Lodi are ripe enough, but from Fresno
they are too green. "A fresh lot of 100 cases
of Mexican lines is on the market; they

produced twenty methods of writing in

but We doubt much whether they would
preserve this quality at the present

that this art, so important in diplomacy.
as long as couriers are liable to be in
tercepted, was held in adherence by
the Elector Frederick the Second, who
considered it as a diabolical invention.
Trithemius, Abbot of Spanheim, had
composed several works to revive this
branch of knowledge; and Boville, an
ignorant mathematician, being unable
to comprehend the extraordinary terms
he made use of to explain his method,
published that the work was full of
diabolical mysteries. Poissevin re-
peated the assertion and Frederick. in

BOOM IN FURNITURE.
Big Factories at Grand Rapids Are
Crowded with Orders.

Grand Rapids, July 24.-The fall fur
niture season opening" is drawing to
close, and in figuring up the results
the manufacturers find that it has been
the most satisfactory opening they
have had since the spring of 1892. The
number of buyers in the market was
500, and the arrivals next week will
swell the total for the month to 400
or more. Conservative estimates place
the increase Of the business this season
over that of July, 1896, at 25 per cent.
or better. Some of the manufacturers
report orders booked already to an ag-
gregate larger than the entire sales OF
last fall and there are none that do not
report an encouraging increase. All
the factories here are running full time,
and most Of them with full forces of
men.

Negaunee, July 24.-The blueberry
crop promises to be an excellent one
this season, and the first berries are al
ready in the market. The season will
be at its height in about two weeks,
and from now until then the number OF
pickers engaged in gathering the ber
ries in Marquette, Delta, Alger and
Luce counties will increase daily until
perhaps 1000 persons will be engaged
in the work. The blueberry crop of
Marquette and adjacent counties will
be worth 100000 to $4,000 this year.

gathering of guests at the hotel be-
cause of ''grand opening" ball given
the night before by Manager j. B. Bry
ant. The fire followed within an hour
of the closing of the dining-room, but
even from the tired sleep of that hour
the 12O guests and 30 employees were
lives from the very rapid spread of the
flames. Several persons were hurt,
none seriously, however The cause
of the fire was an explosion of gaso-
line burner on the ground floor near
the kitchen of the hotel. Ii was used
for heating water, and a watchman lit
1t about $3.50 o'clock and went 10 an
other part of the building. Five min
utes later that portion of the building
was filed with flames, and within an
hour the main building and the de-
tached annex were in ruins. The loss
is about 100000. Some so of the guests
and most of the servants, all sleeping
in the main building, escaped in their
night robes and several lost heavily in
valuable clothing and jewelry. Mrs.
Muhlhauser and her daughter lost dia-
monds worth 1000.

Destroyed Democracy.

If the principal of making a tariff
for revenue only, on which the demo-
Gratis carried the national election of
1892 and made Grover Cleveland presi-
dent for a second term, had been hon
estly and logically applied by those to
whom the people committed the power
of legislation, the tariff law would now
be substantially as follows:
1. All goods brought into the United
States from any other country shall pay
customs duty of 80 per cent. ad valorem.
2 There shall be no free list. Every
thing shall pay 40 per cent. ad valorem.
This would have been Il consistent
and respectable tariff; and it would
have supplied revenue enough. But ule
men TO whom power was intrusted to
make a tariff for revenue only proved
themselves to be imposters and hum
bugs. Instead of sincere revenue
tariff they made a bastard tariff for
protection and deficit. They covered
themselves with shame and contempt,
and they destroyed the democratic
party. They can never recover, but
perhaps the democracy may yet rise
again.-N. Y. Sun.
