the Produce Market.
Office OF The Post


While there has been no unusual actiy ty
in the Wholesale grocery trade this week, yet
iobbers have not suffered for lack Of orders
and business is considered fair and prices
fairly maintained Heavy staples at this sea-
son of the year are always in demand and
constitute the bulk Of the iobbers orders,
and consequently prices are being held IN by
the large consumption
The most marked advance has been Noted
in bams-%c during the past two dlys. and
packers are inclined to maintain firm pri,es
Local iobbers say that the demand has been
unusually large this sprins. and it has been
difficult to get prompt shipments. sugar is
very firm and another advance is looked for
soon. California canned fruits are being
quoted strong with futures steadily advanc-
ing. Flour has varied but little for the past
three months and is steady, though the crop
shortage report may have some effect upon
prices in the near future. Cohees are low,
having reached bottom last Saturday IN New
York, When futures for June closed at 60,
bid ana july sold at 4.7Oc Two wears ago

Saturday was really lower than the price
OF 4G0c made two years ago, when the new

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.

Port OF Galveston, June IA.
ARRIVED
Sch Francis NJ Hogan. Baltimore.
Arizona republican., 1899-06-01

i by dynamite, and so much bigger fish i than anybody at AdeIphi h}d ever seen i came up the river that everybody, ex- cept a professional colored fish erman, named Italian, was afraid to fish on the apron any longer. Kallam was a peg-legged person. He had a strong iron hook in the bottom of the peg to lend security when Ee
 was peTched upon the I'3rrcw apron.
 One day he was fishing for bass and had his hook buried in some gravel
 and drifrwCcd. Finally he caught a
 big bass. which jerke(i so suddenly and
 violently that HaIlam was torn from
 his moonngs and pulled into the
 stream. Then Q thing happened that
 might not happen again in a thousand
 year. In some manner, in which Mir.
 Turner could net explain. and which
 perhaps Hallam, himself, could not, 9
 large minnow was impale1 on the
 hook of the peg-leg. It. was instantly
 seized by 2 gigantic catfish and Hal
 lam then began a struggle for ex-
 istence. He was an expert and strong swimmer and struck out for the h.
 diana shore with both the catfish and
 the bass in tcw. He was met at the landing by sympa,thizing friends who dragged him out. Both fish were cap- tured.
 At this point, the man whom Mir Turner was shaving, claimed 9 priv i1ige of not paying for his shave. The claim was made under a fime-hOnOred barber shop custom which allows man who has been cut in a b3rber'S chair. to go free. The claim was al- lowed and Mr. Turner observed that barber ought not talk catfish in busi- ness hours. It robs him of h:s re- sponsibility.
 Later in the day a MT Williams brought to The Republican office bucket containing a well developed and live catfish of two pounds. It had a full set 05 whiskers. leaving no doubt that it was what it pretended to be. MT. Williams said he caught 1t about four miles below town in the vioi nity in which Elder Roberts said he caught his fish MT Williams says there are thousands of them there It was also learned yesterday that the last time the water was turned out of the Salt River Valley canal a school Of thirteen catfish was seen not far from town. Evidence IS therefore accumu- lating that there are catfish in the Salt river, and that they are also ac- cumulating. Tn which event there will soon ba nonative Arzona or aboriginal fish in the nver, but that will not be a great loss. They are mossbacks. anyhow, and not fit to eat. They will naturally and properly give place to tlle more enteuprising and edible cat fish.

THE CERRo PINTO PLACERs.
The New Placer Diggings Recently
 Discovered in Lower California

1 The new placer diggings known as the Cerro Pinto placers of Lcwer Cali 1 fornia, are attracting a good deal of at i tention in Tucson. As the crow flies ! the new diggings are less than four ; hundred miles from Tucson, although by rail. water and burrC the distance is about five hundred and fifty miles. 1 The -sare located in the Santa Clara range of mountains and about twenty five miles from the coast, San Pablo bay being the nearest point on the Pa cific coast. From the gulf side the nearest point is Mulege, the capital of the district. which is nearly enc hun dred miles from the placers, the latter being about directly west of the town. Santa Rosalie is about one hundred and twenty-five miles from the dig gings.
 The first authentic news was brought to San Diego by A,len c. Frazer of Los Angeles, who came up with SS,G00. Since then 200 ounces have been re- ceived by the local banks and firms in San Diego. For the past seven or eight years Indians have brought gold to Ensenada and other coast points and it
 
 came from. There is now no doubt that tEe gold came from the new dis gings. The latest news from the camp reports some five hundred men there, mostly Mexicans. It is claimed that they are taking out from SIP to $15 per day. The placscs cover an area of about twenty-five miles square, and are about one thousand feet above sea level.
 The excitement at San Diego is in- tense and the transportation com p2nies are overwhelmed with applica- tiors for passage. Many small sailing craft are being fitted out for the mine Several mining companies have al ready been organized and many busi- ness men are going to the placers Several cf the mines on the peninsula are almost deserted by the employees Who have gone to the new camp.
 The Cerro Pinto placers can be reached more quickly from Tucson than from San Diego, as the first four hundred miles from Tucson can be made in ten hours by the way Of Ben Son and Noga.es to Guaymas. From

culminated a few weeks ago in peti-
 ton to the imperial government as the suzerain of the Transvaal to redress the grievances of the Uitlanders has
 been gradual, widespread, spontan-
 eous and sincere. The men that have
 encouraged it, and that now speak for it, are men of admitted probity and we.ght, and Of IS disincerested aims as human nature permits. They stand, indeed, somewhat apart from the mine owners, who with the increasing cor ruption of the Boer oligarchy are in clined to believe that ultimately they can buy what they desire of President Kruger's government. Finally, Tn their discontent and in their demand for relief, the Uitlanders from the con- tinent are at one with those from Eng land and its colonies. The French Uitlanders and Frenchmen with in vestments in the Transvaal have car ried their complaints to the French foreign office at Paris. The Germans in Johannesburg and their principals in Berlin have in turn made similar representation to the cha3cellery in the Wilhelms trasse. From no Euro pean government now are the Boers likely to find support in refusal to treat seriously with England over the Uftlanders' demand. European pres sure will be rather toward substantial concession.
