The Wheat Situation.

Up to TueSday a decidedly better tone
had been prevalent in the wheat market
Tor the week, as regards values, SAYS the
West Coast Trade. The reverses OF
British arms in the Transvaal, further
reports OF damage in India and rumors
regarding the possibility of quarantine
complications at some southern ports,
coupled with a moderate decrease OF
wheat on passage has had strengthen.
ing effect, though of how substantial
proportions is slightly in doubt. Cash
wheat in Chicago made a gain Thursday
to Monday of 2 3-4c and May went to
! 81 lac to SO 1.2c, while the local mar
ket has taken on 1c, in response to a
slight revival in inquiry for cargoss.
Vessel owners, however, have taken inn
mediate advantage of the improved stu
alton to return charter rates to higher
level, and the nominal quotation for
Puget Sound loading has returned to
38s 3D.
Lack of tonnage for spot loading makes
the needs of buyers light, and holders
still maintain waiting policy. If the
bettermsnt in wheat continues perma-
nent, however, shippers look for increas-
ed transactions in the near future. Re-
ceipts for the week were SO cars, or APP
proximately 200 bushels.
Final government estimates of the
American crop has been published MAX
ing the total yield for 1899 547 ,3O6, $40
bushels, produced on 44,592,516 acres.
This estimate while exceeding the total
yield OF any previous year, barring 1898
and 1891, is still below the figures pro-
mulgated by many commercial authori-
ties. AS regards Washington and Ore
gon. the combined yield is placed at 49,
100000 bushels, total at least 5000 900
too large, but this discrepancy is prob
ably made up by underestimates else
where. Final estimates by Beerbohm
on the worlds crop for 1899 places the
yield at 323,000,000, against $4,000 900
in the bumper crop year 1898, and this
with the large surplus carried over is
regarded as a bearish factor.
Some damage has been done to crops
by the open winter and lack of snow for
protection in eastern states, but reports
do not indicate that this is widespread
and serious, while in Oregon and Wash
ington wheat is looking splendid, though
OF course subject to possible damage
from heavy freeze as snow covering is
lacking.

The HERALD has had q number of re-
quests from the Spokane chamber of
commerce asking for circulars or other
descriptive matter OF Pullman and vicni-
ty, stating that they could place many
OF them to advantage in the east where
many people were looking up informa-
ton OF the west where they expected to
make new homes for themselves. Pull
man has had nothing OF this kind for
many years, but The HERALD is con-
templating issuing at some time in the
future an elegant illustrated edition, or
booklet, descriptive of Pullman and the
Paiouse country. Many settlers and
much capital would be attracted to this
LOCALITY by proper presentation of facts
through a medium of this kind.

PULLMAN has in Mr.. Gelwick an ex-
cellent night Waterman, and our citi-
zens can sleep in peace knowing that
their property is protected by his watch
tul eye, but the system in which Mr..
Gelwick is paid for his services seems to
be somewhat wrong. The city pays but
$40 toward the salary, the balance being
made up by popular subscription, and
Mr.. Gelwick is forced to gather up his
wages quarter here and dollar there.
This system also seems to be some
what OF an imposition on the citizens,
and this expense would be more evenly
divided ii the salary were paid in full by
the city. So long as the city REQUIRES
the services OF night watch, we believe
itwould bs more equitable to paw him
as other city officers are paid, and not
by popular subscription, which is usual
ly unpopular both to subscribers and
collector.
