WHEAT HIGHER FOR SPOT AND
FUTURES.
A Firmer Feeling in Barley, and
Holders Have Advanced
Their Figures.

San Francisco, Jan. Path.
Wheat is firmer, owing to an advance
at Chicago; locally both spot and futures
are higher; the Chicago advance is purely
| of speculative character, no encourage
ment coming from foreign centers; a
cargo down to-day from Port Costa for,
Great Britain. Indications of a dry spell
have caused a frmer feeling in Barley,
and holders have advanced their figures;
no Barley arrived to-day. The Dat mar
ket has been dull for the past week, but
prices have not declined, the supply is
light and those here are firmly held;
there are no Grays in first hands. Corn
has been dull and weak, and prices have
been on the decline.
During the week the Hay market has
shown much weakness and prices have
declined; at the moment there is a
steadier feeling; receipts have been more
liberal and buyers have held back in an
kticipation of lower prices. Bran and Mid
dlings have arrived sparingly and prices
have been sustained.
| Strictly fancy Apples are in limited sup-
ply and are higher. The market is lib
orally supplied with Oranges; about seven
cars came to hand yesterday. There IS
fair call for both Apples and Oranges
late to-day. There is better demand for
/ Lemons, but prices show no Improvement
In Dried Fruits there has been good IN
curry for ApricotS and Peaches; both
have been scarce Prunes are moving bet
ter at advanced prices. Theirs has been a
better demand for Raisins.
During the week the market on Butter
and Eggs has declined; the mild weather
has caused an easier feeling and receipts

In 1916 we imported to the value OF
$147, 600, 900 and exported but $Sl,0Oo'-
600. In 1920 the imports and exports
approached more nearly an equality
ST4 SOC, 600 in the one case and S69,6UO,-
600 in the other In 1871 for the first
time in our history, we exported more
than we imported by nearly SS,O000oo'
and again in 1913 our exports exceed
ed our imports by S5,S00,000 The de-
cade here treated embraced the period
of our second war with England. In
1926 there was slight excess OF ex-
ports, and again in 1927 we exported
$74, ,OOO, 600 of values while we imported
only $71. 100000
In 1880 the excess of our exports was
represented by nearly $9,000,OO0 of
values. There was also a somewhat
larger excess in 1888, but in 1910 we ex-
ported $123, 100000, while we imported
but sos, ,25S, 600, giving us an excess OF
exports over imports of nearly go, ,o0O-
600 of value In 1913 this excess reach
ed more than $40, 100000, and in 1S47
more than S34, 100000.
The balance was against us from that
time by from $2OOO0,0O0 to S50,000,000
until 1858, when our imports were
S263, 1888, 600 and our exports .$272, OIL
COO, an excess of the latter of more
than $S.672,G00 With but single
slight exception the balance of trade
was against US until 1874, when our
excess Of exports suddenly jumped from
$69, 100000 against US to an excess in
our favor of $1S,S76,000 The next
year was against US $40, 500, ,O0O,. and
then for twelve years the balance of
trade was, all in our favor without a
break aS follows.

The totals of our imports for the en-
tire period, therefore, from 1870 to
1893, both inclusive, amounted to 500

amounted to S3O.952, POP, ,9S5. Thus the
excess of our exports over our imports
for the century and ten years over has
been Of the value of 1872, "a, ,496. In
addition We have in that period import
ed specie to the sum of 81 ,040, 100, ,320,
and exported $3,400,623, ,5S1, the excess
export thus being S1,460,473, ,261.
But it is to. be noted that prior to 1921
specie was included in the merchandise

specie has been greater than shown in
the above figures. Merchandise and

tive table. showing the growth and
fluctuations of American commerce in

some interesting statements. the deduc-
tions from which wim be obvious

The French are having trouble with
canned food for soldiers, as we'll as
other people. At Sens recently a large
number Of the men of the Eighty-sec-
ond Infantry were made violently sick,
and two died, by reason of consumption
of preserved or canned food. AT IIavre
another regiment suffered severely from
the same cause. At the last named
place 10000 tins of canned meat had
been provided for the men, but on the
outbreak of sickness the entire lot was
cast into the sea. But in the French
cases there appears to have been no
upturning of politics in consequence,
no excitement or investigations, with a
view to fixing responsibility. All that
was done was to issue an order forbid
ding the issuance of canned food that
had been kept in store for a certain
length of time.

When member of the City Board
of Health, feels it to be his bounden
duty to inform the people and the city's
legislative body, that the condition of
the city dumps is menace to the pub
lie health and demands a certain rem
edy, 1t is rather surprising to find the
Secretary of the beard contradicting the
statement and advising that there is
nothing in the conditions to justify
alarm, nor indeed that there is any
need to stay the slack water'' about
the dumps, from receding into the river.
The situation suggests the thought that
the Board of Health should have a
Health Officer and Secretary somewhat
in harmony with the membership on
scientific and sanitary lines.

The news is that the Filipino insur-
gents are torturing their prisoners of
war, while our surgeons discover that
the insurgent soldiers are using brass
tipped bullets, which produce the worst
OF wounds. Evidently Aguinaldo has
learned the Spanish lesson well. But
that these two facts prove his people
to be capable of conducting a civilized
form of free government is something
no sensible person will contend for.

The people of the city of Sacramento
are. under infinite obligations to that
self-su sufficient member of the Board of
Trustees who illumined their intelli-
gence Monday night with the profound
information THAT water in rivers runs
in layers; that slumgullion discharged
into a stream, regardless of its specific
gravity, will take to the surface, scoot
over the suction pipes of the water sys-
tenn, and accommodatingly avoid con-
taminating the under stratum. 1t will
be news to the world that there is a
cleavage in water. beyond the several
lines Of which one layer of the fluid will
not hold communion with it's fellows.
