commanding the German squadron at
Hongkong. Prince Henry, immediately
after his arrival at Hongkong, gave a.
banquet to the higher officers of the
other fleets, among whom were Rear
Admiral Dewey. At the feast the Prince
proposed a toast to his own country,
then to Great Britain, then to all the
other powers except the United States.
Finally, just before the dinner was
over, the royal host proposed a toast to
his country.
When Rear Admiral Dewey saw that
apparently his country was to be
sighted he left the banquet without
ceremony. The next day a representa-
tive of Prince Henry sent roundabout
apology to the American commander
Dewey sent back word to the Emper-
or's brother that he would accept moth
ing but a written or personal apology
from the Prince. The latter then call
ed upon Dewey and apolcsized, saying
that in the confusion Of the dinner he
Ghe Prince) thoughtlessly neglected to
put the American toast in it's proper
place on the programme.
While Mr.. Post was at Hongkong
Prince Henry gave ball, but Admiral
Dewey, although invited, did not at
tend. The affair was not allowed to get
out, and Mr. Post received it first hand
from one of the officers Of the Ameri-
can fleet.

BOTTOM FALLS OUT OF WHEAT
MARKET.
Spot Entirely Nominal and q Sharp
Decline In Eutures-Barley
Also Lower.

San Francisco, June 1st.
The bottom seems to have fallen out of
the wheat market; spot is entirely nom
inal and futures have declined sharply
following a bfg drop at Chicago; the first
new wheat arrived at Stockton yesterday
from Bakersfield. Barley is lower; both
on and off call the market is weak and
quiet for spot; arrivals from the north
continue. Very little doing in oats and
previous prices stand. Corn Is quiet, as
1t has been for some time, and there is
nothing to warrant a change in prices.
The hay market is about steady at the
revised figures given below; to-day's re-
ceipts were not heavy. No changes in
bran and middlings. Rolled barley is
lower.
Auction strawberries brought 81 25@3
per chest. Receipts were 371 chests of
berries, 4,442 boxes Of cherries. AIS boxes
chests of currants. Peaches brought
81 25Q1 so per box; they are still rather
green; currants do not sell well. and will
not until raSpberrieS are cheaper.
The butter market is well supplied and
prices are weak; creamery is lower No
changes in cheese Store eggs are firm
and move well; ranch are steady; prices
are unchanged.
