Wheat.

Wheat has lost nothing OF the inertia
characteristic of the past few months.
Farmers apparently will not sell short of
80 cents net, says the West Coast Trade.
Exporters do not want wheat at that fig
ure, and, in fact, are in no wise anxious
to do business upon basis OF prevailing
quotations, which are nominally LIE
lever than week ago. European pur-
chssers are not bidding for Pacific wheat,
and there is nothing to promote business,
with everything just at present to aug.
ment the dullnsss. Seeding, and bad
roads help to keep things quiet in the
anterior, and there is no lack of apparent
faith that next month or June, possibly
will develop something to benefit the
holder
Just at present the course of specula-
ton is formulated TO an extent by the
daily crop news from various producing
sections. 1t is the critical season in
most parts of the country, and while the
most conservative take with . grain Of
allowance the news given currency at
this time, there are doubtless good ress-
ons for believing considerable damage
has been done at some points.
The April report OF the .tatistician of
the department of agriculture will show
the average condition OF winter wheat on
April to have been 77.9, against So. Z on
April /, 1898; Sl.4 on April l, 1897, and
ten-year average Of S4.4. The averages
for the principal winter wheat states are
as follows: Pennsylvania, 50; Texas,
al; Tennessee, II; Ohio, Sc; Michigan,
20; Indiana, ~; Illinois, "a; Missouri,

AT the recent meeting of the state

AT the recent meeting of the state
board of pharmacy at Tacoma it
was decided to vigorously enforce
the provisions of the new law which
provides that none but licensed
pharmacists shall do business in
the state. 1t is estimated there are
about 600 competent pharmacists
in Washington, and between 100
and 200 who are not fit, and will he
prosecuted, if possible. The regis
tration fee is 50, which will provide
a large fund to be used almost sole
ly in prosecuting incompetent
tradesmen. Besides these licenses,
new forms have to be made Tor
those of shop. keepers and itinerant
vendors. The new law allows the
board discretion to grant licenses Of
this class to dealers in patent med
icines where no knowledge of com
pounding drugs is necessary. The
board expects to have more or less
trouble in enforcing the law on ac-
count or probable test cases.

Claim They Are Not Treated
Right by Americans.
SOME CHANGES DESIRED
# They Are Granted the People OF the
Island Will be Easily Govern
ed by This Country.

San Juan de Porto Rico, March 81
CORRESPONDENCE of the Associated
Press. )-Although there is not at pres
ent any danger of serious disturbances
there is much Dissatisfaction among the
lower class of natives the
island and there has been a good deal
of violent ak of the ignorant against
the new regime. The chief cause OF
this anti-American feeling is the in
crease in the cost of living since the
American occupation began n the i'll
treatment that many of the natives in
the country districts have received at
the hands of rough soldiers. Dissatis-
faction is also expressed at the delay
in making the island Il part or a terri
tory of the United States. with the
privileges and advantages that would
accrue to the island from such a rela-
ton. especially in the matter of trade.
AS things have turned out, the prices
of all kind of commodities have adj
Vanced considerably, and the cost OF
living is very much higher now than it
was in the days of Spanish dominion.
The merchant, moreover. is uncertain
as to what customs duties will have to
be paid, and he does not care to order
more than is actually necessary. Nor
is the agriculturist in a mood to extend
his cultivation, until he can be assured
of a safe market for his products.
Everybody is getting along with the
least possible expenditures, and there
is undoubtedly much misery and dis
comfort. Many who are without en-
ployment are lying hungry about the
towns, and they constitute the material
which Observation-Disclosures use in working
up irritation against the Americans.
The conduct of the United States
troops in Ponce, CaEuas and other
places has aroused many of the natives
to defend themselves, and in some en-
counters the soldiers have come off sec
ond best. These collisions are probably
the basis of statements made in the
United States, which represent the
Porto RicanS as strongly inclined to
start a revolution. The fact is that a
little more courtesy in dealing with
them would not only have a wonder
fully quoting influence, but would
greatly facilitate the settlement of
other questions pressing for solution.
