San Francisco. March 21st.

San Francisco, March 21st.
Wheat is booming speculative values
are advancing at the rate of several cents
day and spot is also higher; very little
Offering, as holders are waiting for
further rise. Barley is even more excited
than the wheat market, as will be seen
by the advanced spot and future quota
tions. Oats follow in the wake of barley !;
prices are advanced and holders are
firm. A slight advance in corn is noted;
were it not for the Eastern corn here the
market would be higher.
A further advance is noted in hay and
the market is very firm at quotations.
Rolled barley is higher, following the
advance in the whole article. The ar
rival of Oregon bran to-day checked the
expected advance.
Apples and oranges are very dull Or
anges are weaker; no auction was held
by the Exchange to-day; there will be
an auction on Wednesday and another
on Thursday, Lines and lemons are
weak and DUH A steamer is expected
tomorrow with about 500 cases Mexi-
can lines
Butter is steady at unchanged prices;
receipts from the northern and southern
portions of the State are increasing:
good shipping demand sustains the mar
ket. Cheese is higher, excepting for new;
very little old here Ranch eggs are not
moving as well as they have been going;
there are none going into cold storage
at present and in consequence the mar
ket is more literally supplied; some deal
ers hold for higher prices than our fig
ures; store eggs are steady

I ckhart made the presentation speech, and so thrilling was his elo- quence that there was hardly a dry eye i'll the great throng. Captain Cook responded, and, while he lays no claim to being a speaker, the crowd ap- plauded wildly every sentence he ut tered.
 The coaches in which the company rode were beautifully decorated with flowers and the national colors. As the train pulled out, the boys waved their caps from the windows, which called forth mighty yell from the crowd.

Desperate Conflict Between a Mob and Troops on the
 Streets of Milan.

to have returned to the famous days of 1S4S, with the rattle of caval.y, the incessant cracking of rifles, th2 dis cordant cries and words of command and the bugle signals. Full particulars are not known as they are not allowed to pass, but surprising was the quick ness with which the barricades were formed in popular quarters, especially on the bridges over the canals. Carts, carriages and street cars were over turned and piled up with furniture from the adjacent buildings, to the noisy joy of the crowd.
 Distressing scenes occurred all over the city-wives searching for husbands and mothers for sons. with explosions of grief after vain search or when find ing them wounded or dead. In the pop uiar quarters the mob resisted until nightfall.
 It is said that no such serious oc- currence has taken place before in Italy. The events have even surpassed the terrible riots in Turin, when the capital was transferred to Florence. General a-Beccaris showed how he felt his responsibility and acted promptly, firmly and energetically. Tn fact, before night the troops had de stroyed all the barricades and were camping in the streets and squares. No part of the city was without its com ple1nent of troops. while from Ihe sur rounding provinces re-enforcements were sent in immense numbers. Most of the English and American people left Florence on account of the riots.

INFANTRY AND
 ARTILLERY.

One of the pleasing incidents in connec- tion with the arrival of Company B, Sec ond Infantry, and Battery B, Heavy Ar tillery, from Sacramento last night was the expression of patriotism shown by the Servian Benevolent Society," who met the troops at the ferry as the society was returning from a picnic and barbecue held at Sausalito
 The society, accompanied by a brass band escorted the troops to their quar- ters, corner of Tenth and Market streets, where the honors of a passing salute were rendered. Company E was later transferred to the armory, corner of Page and Cough streets, where the two com panies from the Sixth Infantry also are quartered.
 All of the infantry have been amply provided with blankets and are reason ably well cared for, having no complaint to make of their treatment after arriv- ing here. Battery B, however, did not fare so well and the men have already soldiers life in the service of his country. They complain of a scarcity of blankets and many of them will be able, hereafter, to tell the difference between a nice soft bed and the soft side of a hard board from practical experience.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, May 8.-An alarm was sounded shortly after midnight last night for one of the most disas- trous fires ever known in Sacramento. A few minutes before the alarm mighty volume of flame shot up through the roof of the new Metropoli- tan Theater and half the city was illu- minated by ,the magnificent blaze. There were a hundred people on Fifth street, between J and K, before the fire bell sounded, and that number had been multiplied by five before the engines came laundering along.
 The Metropolitan Theater is a com plete wreck. Although a double line of hose was run through the K street en- trance and into the auditorium, nothing was saved. The handsome interior is a mass of ruins. The gallery fell and the water that was driven by the en- zines had no perceptible effect in stem ming the blaze. The fine auditorium Is a scene of desOlation.
 W. K. Cothrin, a nephew and agent for Mrs Foye, owner of the Metropoli- tan Theater property, said the building was insured for $2S,O00, and that it was held by it's owner to be worth $70,00O. Mr. Cothrin was wholly in the dark as to the origin of the blaze.
