RUSH OF GRAIN FROM THE NORTH.
'•There probably was never before such a
rush of wheat from the sound to California as j
there is just now," saya the- Tacoma Ledger, j
"chiofly a result of the failure of the Call- j
fornia crop this ring. Barley aria Oat ship
ments from this region to California are also
nuite heavy. Three or four almoat exclusive |
cargoes of wheat have been dispatched from
Tacoma to San Pranclaco within the last three
or four weeks. The regular liners have been ;
carrying a great deal of the product. The Pa- j
cllic <%.ast Steamship Company has 4500 tons i
of wheat barley and oats, chiefly wheat, now :
in the warehouaea uf Tacoma awaiting ship
ment to the Golden Gate on its steamers.
Some of it will go on the steamer "Walla Walla, ■
due here to-day from San Francisco, and the
Willamette will be here to-morrow to load 2000 :
tons of grain for the company. The Tacoma
Grain Company will put a part cargo of wheat
In the ateamer Alice Blanchard at Tacoraa to
day for Pan Francisco, and will this after
noon begin loading the steamship Cleveland at
this port with 900 or 1000 tons of grain for the i
same destination. The Tacoma Grain .Com
pany yesterday finished loading the small [
steamer Rival on the lower Bound with wheat :
for Pan Francisco, and chartered the steamer i
Laknie. which arrived yesterday from Alaska.
to take wheat from Portland to San Francisco.
The Lakme will proceed to Portland at once. '
The wheat b^ing shipped from Tacoma to Cali
fornia Is chi-fl.v of a high-grade milling qual
ity and a low-cracie food material."

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK BTOCK MARKET.
NTW YORK, April 2r, —The market for se- \
eurltles wns Blugjglsh and almost Rtagnant to- |
day. Prices ruled below Saturday's close, and !
while there was a brief pause at one'tlme dur- I
ing the morning; In the downward course, due |
to strength shown by one or two of the In- I
dustrials, the paKPlng tendency of the market
■was practically uninterrupted. The trading was
narrow and professional, and declines really !
represented BOthlnc more than a natural re
action from Baturday*s advance. The supply
of storks continued very limited, holders ap
parently being content t<> hold their property
for higher prices. Neither Is there any very
active demand for stocks at the present level.
The consequence is that the movement of prices
Is rather narrow. There being no genuine d<-
mand for stock and no real i.ressure of liqui
dation, prices naturally lu.«e one day what was
rained the day b»fore or sain the next day
what they lorn to-day. There was some sell-
Ing in this market to-day for Lo/idon account,
■which may have represented liquidation by
timid foreign holders. There was some specu
lative activity also, and quite a. wide move
ment of prices In some of the higher-priced
Industrial specialties. Otherwise the market
was In the hands of the room traders. The
waiting attitude of traders Ik likely to con
tinue until the occurrence of some event gives;
a clear Indication of the course or probable
duration of the war with Bpatß.
The future of the »1 tek market Is also de
pendent largely on the course of the money
market. There was nothing In to-day's develop
ment to Indicate accurately what that course
will be. There is some demand for currency
from the interior, Chicago exchange on New
York falling a^aln to-day to discount. There
was a sharp advance in the foreign exchange
rates, demand swrtlag bills rising % per cent.
The bond market was very dull to-day and
prices drifted to a lower level. Total salet),

L< >NDO.N MARKET.
NEW YORK. April 25.— The Evening Post's
London financial cablegram Bays: The stock
markets here were steady to-day on the large
receipts of gold, but the close was dull. The
Bank of England to-day adopted a policy of
which I gave you Indication weeks ago, name
ly, for absolutely the first time it raised the
buying price of bar gold above 77s 9d to
77s 9^>d. About £500,000 in gold came In to
day. I have reason to believe that probably
a further £500,000 of gold will go Into the bank
this week.
The depression at the close was partly con
nected with a Fmall failure, which Is the re
sult of the difficulties of a large speculative
operator in West Australian mines. A meet
ing of the creditors to-day acceated 10s on
the pound.
Spanish 4*s and Americans were compara
tively steady, but dull after improvement. The
unortaintlties of money prospects promise to
bother business for some time. The, New York
money market Is closely watched, especially
the effect of the United States n<-u loan,
which it is believed must cause money rates
In New York to rise.

NEW YORK WHEAT MARKET.
NEW YORK, April 25.— strongest kind
of war prices raged in all of the grain and
provision markets this morning. Liverpool set
the pace with a sensational Jump of 4M.-'3 1 5V4d
■■ /idvance In wheat quotations, and the bulls on
■ this side, after a week of cringing before the
bear element. Immediately secured the upper
hand and squeezed the shorts to the tune of
oVic a bushel before midday. It was a time of
extraordinary excitement in the local whe:it
pit. Millions of bushels changed hands, and
at times the rlnc was in a Ftate of wild con- I
fusion. The May option leaped to 1 laVfc and |
July Ss%c, the latter, compared with 94?ic at
; the close Saturday. It was well along toward
the noon hour before tho tremendous demand
was satisfied and prices eased off a little from j
the top. Besides the Liverpool strength., the
local bulls were aided by reports that Russia ;
was bhort of supplies and asking big advances |
' for her wheat. The prominence of that coun
: try as a competitor of the United States gav<
: this news great significance. Tho visible sup
i ply decrease of 3,240,000 bushels was twice as
! forge as expected, and also helped the forenoon
strength.
I-ater'ln the day the crowd sold out a part
of Its purchases, causing a cent break from the
top, but renewed closing firmness left final
prices iv<<ssic ne^ higher, near months show
; i Inc the ureatest strength About tfO loads of
I wheat, 160 loads of corn and GSO.OOO bushels of
oats were taken for export at all ports to-day.
May Wheat sold from $1 11% to Jl 16%. closing
' at the latter flgnre. July ranged from SB%c to
i 3ST4c, closing at MUc

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
j CHICAGO, April 25.— Sensational advances In
\ foreign and outside domestic markets, a de
crease of over 3,000,000 bushels in the American
visible Wheat supply and small world's ship
ments caused the upturn in Wheat which all
other markets ■ followed. Although Liverpool
opening cables to-day quoted Wheat at 3i>4d a
bushel advance, this market displayed a halting
tendency after the first rush of trading, and
throughout the session gave evidence of heavy
liquidation on hard spots. While in the first
half hour of the session Liverpool had risen the
equivalent of 3s4c a bunhel, New York 2V*jC,
Minnesota and Duluth 6c, Chicago In the same

time was only up 2c. The Enelish country
markets showed a gain of 7%c a bushel since
Friday last. Liverpool continued to climb until
the close of the futures showed a grain of 5%
©6%c per bushel. Duluth and Minneapolis
added to the bear's torments by reaching a
! point S%c above Saturday's close. This mar
ket finally got started, and from around 92c
rapidly climbed to P3c. May, which had started
only lc higher at $1 15, suddenly jumped with
lc and 2c between trades to $1 30, the highest
price In several years. The Atlantic port
clearances of Wheat and Flour for the day
amounted to 600,000 bushels. The world's ship
ments to Europe last week were 7,413,000 bush
els, afrninst 9,062.000 bushels the week before
and 3.523.000 »he corresponding week of LS97.
i Russia supplied 1,808,000 bushels of the total
I compared with 3.240,000 bushels the week of the
i year before. The quantity on ocean passage
I was reduced SSO.OOO bushels laf>t ' week. The
I domestic visible surprised the trade by show
i ing- a decrease of 3,240.000, against a reduction
1 for the same w«-k of laEt year of only 778,000
bushels. The heaviest decreases were at Chl
capo, Minneapolis, Duluth and New York. May
ipped back to $1 17, but rallied to $1 20,
closinsr at $119% sellers, a net cain ofo%e.
After the advance In July to 93c, the market
became very feverish, selling: off to 92c, up to
93% c. down to 92>,;c. then up to 92% c, closing
1 at 92% c. Five minutes after the close 93% c was
paid on the curb for July.
Corn was active and strong throughout the
j session. Sales for export of about 1,000,000
I bushels, an advance at Liverpool of l%c and
2 / 4 - at London were the chief factors. July
closed with a n.?t gain of IVic.
Scarcity of Oats, advances abroad and the
strength of Wheat and Corn helped the Oats
! market early and contributed to an advance
of lT^jC in May and lVie In July.
Provisions were stronz and active. War
j news and heavy outside speculative buying
were the chief factors. The close was near the
top. July pork closed with a net gain uf 45c,

There could not possibly be a whiter
city than Cadiz, unless It were built of
snow. As you near the coast you see in
front of you a white mass which appears
to be floating upon the water, just as you
are. The first thought of a foreigner is
that he is in sight of an iceberg. The
white mass, glittering in the sun and
rendered more dazzling by the blue sea
and sky, looks exactly like a monster Ice
mountain partly melted, so that outlines
of castles and hills appear upon it; but.
only for a second does the illusion last,
for you know there are no icebergs in
that part, and you are quickly informed
that it is Cadiz. No other town in the
world presents such a magic appearance.
The expense attending the marriag-e
of the Prince of Wales was about
£41.000.
