YESTERDAY'S WHEAT MARKET. Prices fireak Spveral Cents, but tlie Undercurrent Is strong. fcAS Fbaxcisco, Aug. 23, 1897. The following resume of the wheat market is furnished by K. A. Eresse, Produce Exchange liainbroker, 412 Pine street: San Francisco. 9:15 a. it. session?. Wheat opens easier in sympathy with Eastern marims. First sales were made at $1 66, against $1 6714 at the close on Saturday. Prices may go down some lower, but cannot remain down. De cember closed at $1 64% and May at $1 631^. 10:15 a. m. session. Wheat trading heavy, the largest ever known since the great Dresbacb. deal. Prices are hard to follow. There has been good buying of wheat by strong partias. December sold at $1 67 auC closed at $1 65s/ 8 . 11:15 a. v HBSIOtf. Biff, bane, went wheat prices at the opening. De ember opened at $1 6; J i/iand closed at $1 655/ a. There is an undertone of strength to the market which is causiuE considerable comment. Wheat looks cheap enough. 2 P. M. SESSION. Wheat opened stead;-. December, 91 65i/j; closed at SI 6514. There is a firm undertone to the market. December barley, 97c. Chicago. Wheat was acain the star attraction to-day. Liv erpool reported 40 shillings for May shipments. i I'arls markets were strong. On the early curb September wheat sold at $1 02%, but later the price worked to (1 Oui/i. sellers. At the opening mere appeared a flood of sel ling orders. Septem ber opened at 9Hi/aC to 98V3C Prices were 1 cent apart at differe t sides ot Ihe pit. The price quietly dropped to 9514 c. Defore one could catch his breath the price was again 99% c. Commis- j sion-houses then began pouring out their long wheat. Buyers were less mc ined to take wheat on the bulge, and a rapid arop of 3 cen:s quickly followed. Buying by the clique started another bulge which took the price to 98% c. The price ranged between 98% c aud 97c until the lit-i half of the session, when a determined ertort was made on he part of the shorts to drive prices down. [September sold at 95V&C and closed at 96c, De cember 95% c and May at 971-ij, sellers. '1 he day's news ua< inclined to the bull side. North west crops continue to be poor. Foreigners were fair bnyt-rs The V;sible supply decreased 500,000 bushels. The amount of wheat and flour on passage in creased 150,000 quarters. Bussiau shipments were 600,000 bushrls lesi than New York. New York reported a com ntiou formed to bear the wh at market. Their efforts wiil have hard work going against the world's demands. uropean countries require 000,000 bushels more wheat than America can spare. Talk of higher ocean rates that will keep higher prices down U all folly, if foreigners must have wheat and farrrern will not sell unless at their own pr:ce, it is difU' ult 10 see where rates are going to stop wheat teaching a certain limit. The shorts based ti)elr judgment upon this theory when wheat was around 80 cents. The result bus been di.nstrous Wheat will have its setbacks. Mich 'hinus are exp<cted, but wheat basnot sold at $1 on sentiment. It reached tha: price necause current conditions warrant tne price. There has never been a year when con ditions -.vere as lavorabie to higher prices as the present. In 1891 the advance had no real foun dation to stand upou. France bad many markets to draw from that year, whereas this year finds every foreign country short of wheat. England kept out of the market. The buying for the pas" six weeks has been fjr Continental a' count. It remains yet tor Kngl-nd to buy ber stocks. There will be a steady, natural demand for wheat ior mauy months to come.

A certain shopwalker in one of the large drapery establishments in the West End of London was noted for his severity to those under him. One day he aDproached a junior assist ant, whose counter a lady had just left. "You let that lady «o out without mak ing a purchase?" he askad, severely. "Yes, sir, I " "And she was at your counter fully ten minutes?" "Doubtless, but then, you see '' "Exactly. I saw tnat, in sDita of all the questions she put to you, you rarely answered her, and never attempted to get what she wanted." "Well, but " "You need not make any excuse. I shall report you for carelessness." "Well, I hadn't what si;e wanted." "What was that?" "Six shillings! She's a book canvasser, selling 'All About the Jubilee." The shopwalker retired crestfallen, amid the audible titters of all the assist ants in the department, who greatly en joyed his discomfiture. — Spire Moments. • — » • In twelve marriages out of every 100 one of the parties has been married before.
