WED MEATH A
 SNOWY BELL

A very pretty and interesting home wedding took place on the evening of Tuesday. June IA, at the home of the brides parents on Thirty-second street, Oakland, the contracting parties being Miss May Camilla Chamberlin and Felix B. Galindo The impressive ceremony of the Episcopal church was performed by the Rev. Mardon Dewees Wilson, rector of St. Peters Church, San Francsico
 The bride looked lovely, gowned in white silk, with orange blossoms holding the bridal veil in graceful folds, and carrying bouquet of exquisite white roses She was attended by her young sister, Miss Emily L. Chamberlin, and Miss Alice E Wilson, daughter of the officiating clergy man, both looking very fair and sweet in their snowy dresses and dainty ribbons and carrying bouquets of Cecil Bruner roses. The best man was Joseph Galindo brother of the groom.
 The bridal party stood beneath a we'd ding bell of purest white, suspended from a canopy of graceful greenery, where the ceremony was performed.
 After a merry presentation of congratu- lations the large party of invited guests sat down to a sumptuous table beautiful in floral decoration and tempting as to the things which go far to make glad the inner man.
 On their return from their bridal tour MT. and Mrs. GalindO will make their home in San Francisco.

A DEPRESSION IN
 THE WHEAT MARKET
EXTREME LOW PRICES ARE NOT
 WARRANTED.
Doubtful If the Pit Can Be Forced More Than Cent or
 Two Lower.

The wheat trade has again experienced a week of extreme depression. On Mon- day last the press reported Letters wheat turned over to trustees, Armour heading the arrangement. Tuesday saw Septem- Der wheat gradually hardening, with July and spot relatively strongest.
 The trade had its ideas worked up for a bull turn. On Wednesday September had advanced to 72% cents, with July at S012 cents. The market looked healthy. Thurs day at the opening September sold at 731a cents, July at S21a cents. with outside buyers feeling more confidence, arguing that Letter had disposed of his holdings to Armour, and an advancing market was in order. Quite the contrary happened. The heavy selling of wheat by mysterious brokers started the crowd to wondering whether Letter had fully closed his deal with Armour. The last three days of the week proved he had not, and that who- ever had been in with Letter had un- loaded and left the young man to shift as best he could.
 September wheat closed on Saturday at 67 cents, July at 7212 cents, as compared with 95 cents and $1 9 less than thirty days ago. Conditions do not warrant these extreme low prices. The market at the present time is an unnatural one. The forced sales by Letter naturally ex-
 
 heavily long in the Liverpool market. The shorts are made to suffer now that their turn has come. They are shown no mercy Armour and his following will make Letter sell his wheat as low as possible The banks appear heavily in terested. Wheat spectators have no re- gard for such interests; So long as no one steps in to stop the decline Letter must bear the brunt.
 It is questionable whether prices can be forced more than a cent or two lower. The trade must consider one essential point. The grade now deliverable on Board of Trade contracts is worth from b to 20 cents per bushel more than the former grade which was deliverable when prices were around 50 during 1S95-96 No red winter is the present standard IL is known as milling wheat, and demands premium from b to 21 cents over Mo- spring. the former standard. Prices were on Saturday equally as low as they have ever been. The bears are surely selling themselves into a hole which it will take hard scrambing to get out of. Un- doubtedly Liverpool and Paris markets will soon check their declining tendency. The small amount of contract wheat in the United States could easily be carried by any one of the big operators
 The local market breaks under S1 90 for December with great deal of heSitancy. The small crop of the State and the un- certainty regarding Oregon and Washing ton together with the expected increased China, Japan and Philippine demand this year, hold the trade in abeyance If December wheat drops to- $1 9 that will probably be the low point for some time
 Barley hangs fire around S1 16 for De cember. Eventually lower prices must demand will force a decline.
