Chicago Change


Chicago, April 27.-The foreign wheat
markets, which were controlling factors
here today showed a deal of irregularity.
Liverpool quoted declines of one and one
fourth to two cents, while Paris came two
and three-fourths to three and one-half
higher. The extremely favorable crop bull
letins had bearish effect, as did also the
needed rains at the northwest. Trading
began at a decline of one-fourth cent in
July wheat. For half an hour the market
acted strong and rallied twice to yester-
days close, but at the end of the time men,
toned an avalanche of offers struck the pit
and prices dropped with q thud from ninty-
three and one-half to ninty-one and one
fourth, caused by lower early cables, favor
able crop news and declines at the north
west. Closing quotations from Liverpool
showed spot No. /, northern spring wheat,
three cents up for the day, the price being
1884, per bushel. Relief came to the bulls
from an unexpected quarter Antwerp was
reported as buying cargo of the Califor-
mia wheat off the English coast at an
equivalent of s1.33 per bushel, and the Ant
werp market advanced six and three-fourth
to seven and seven-eghths, fourteen cents
in two days. English wheat items caused
a stampede among the shorts and just be-
fore the close July sold at ninty-five. May
rallied from $1.18 to $1.211s.
Corn was heavy at the start on free SELL
ing by elevators but rallied with wheat.
Provisions were generally in sympathy
with the other markets.

SISTER SHIP TO THE CHINA.
Pacific Mail Company Preparing for the
Hawaiian Trade.


Ii the present plans of the man
ayers of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company are carried into
effect there will be built in this
city within a year a steamship
that will surpass in size, speed
and elegance of equipment any
vessel now in Pacific waters, says
late Examiner. The need of a
steamship of the same class ss
the China has long been felt by
the Pacific Mail Company, and it
is this need that has led to the
preparation of plans for the new
vessel. The recent performance
of the China in making a record
breaking voyage from the Orient
and thus cutting down the run
ming time from Yokohama to this
port by more than a day has &C
centuated the public demand for a
faster aud better service between
this city and Oriental ports. Add
ed to this is the danger of loss of
patronage because of the service
offered by steamships running to
Puget sound ports. Each of
these conditions has had its effect
on the con- liberation Of the sub
ject of the building of a new
ocean liner. 1t is asserted on
authority that the arrangements
for the building of the ship will
soon be completed. 1t is the
present intention to build the new
We. sci at a local shipyard and to
give her an American register.
She is to be somewhat larger than
the China and will have a speed
that will compare favorably with
the big Alta utic liners.

cess In this line. Any member of Ameri-
can regular army soldiers have done wen
in civil life after getting out of the army,
either in the right way at the conclusion
of their enlistments or in the wrong way
by "bobtails," or dishonorable discharges.
A few years ago. a cavalryman named
Black was ''bobtailed' from his troop
out at the Preside of San Francisco for
general wildnesS The officers of his
troop hated to see him CO. for he was by
long odds the very best horseman in his
regiment, an utterly unbeatable and dar-
ing acrobat on his mount. BLACK didn't
have sou-narque when he was escorted
to the Presidio's main gate by a detail
of the guard, but he walked down to
San Francisco riding academy and got
jab as instructor for 500 a month in wages.
He taught the prettiest girls in San Fran
cisco how to ride horsebac ok, and some
of them became so interested in the young
eX-soldier that they got their papas 10

envy of his own. Blacks riding academy
was one of the swell places of San Fran
cisco for some years, and then Black gave
IL up upon making a money marriage.
He behaved himself like a little man from
the day he left the army and arrived"
A cavalry sergeant named Forsythe, sta
toned at Waila Walla long before the
boom in the state of Washington, saved
his pay and added to 1t by engaging IN
little profitable deals in the town. and at
the conclusion of one of his enlistments
he took a furlough and had a look around
the country He thought Seattle would one
day be pretty warm site for city, and
he laid down his savings in investments
by the acre in and around the site where
Seattle now is When the boom began
Forsythe simply woke up to find himself
rich, and he bought his discharge from the
army by telegraph. He didn't go to pieces,
either, as so many eX-soldiers and ex-
sailors who make money ashore do, but
he unloaded his property at the psychology
ical moment, and he has got enough money
now to keep all of the coyotes of the plains
away from his door for a good many years
longer than he will ever live.
