PRICES FAR ABOVE QUOTATIONS. | They Are Paid for Several Lots | of the Booming Cereal. ITHE PURCH!S®S MADE IN SECRET. | | | Belief That the “Bears” on 'Change | Are Clandestinely “Bulling” | the Market. is the wheat-zrowers’ year. For ‘H,he first season in many just past the { farmer is able to rule the marker, where | formerly the converse was true. According to facts that have just come to light the board quotations in San Fran- i cisco are not at all to be depended upon as a criterion of the vslue of harvest of the wheat fielas of California. | As a matter of fact shippers are actually paying more for spot wheat than prices quoted for December opticns. And the figures for the latter are close to §1 54 per cental. { Itis well understood that an agreement | exists between the heaviest shippers to | refrain from paying more than a certain figure for export purposes. In this way, by softening the demand, it is hoped to | hola prices down. Judging from the peculiar clandestine culiar movement, with depression for its object, is not proving as efficacious as wa: hoved by its instigator: Up to date nothing show that crops in the Argentine, India and other | as come to light to This has given courage to the farmer. Instead of jumping at the opportunity 10 sell his wheat for 50 per cant more than it | | has brongnt for & number of years, he is | disposed to ho!d on to his crop and make the most of theimproved situation. Farm- | ers will notsell, and bauks ar» notin a po- sition to force them to do so, Most ofthem product until the end of theyear, in ex- pectation of reaping the full benefit of the cipated between now and opening of the ew vear. Shippers and speculatorsare already feel- ing this wheat stringency that is thus be- ing produced, and there are those who are sanguine that the ‘‘combine” to bear the market will soon go to pieces. | From an unquestionable source it has | been learned that within the past few | days s=veral sales of spot No. 1 wireat were de a $1 54 per cental, while the board otations stood at $154 for December. | This was done on the quiet and by one of the largest operators in the San Frau- | | cisco market. One of the sellers in speaking of the purchase was made for one of the parties to the arrangement not to bay more than | a certain agreed price. He refused to | divulge the name of the purchaser, but | did not hesitate to comment freely on the situation. | “These big operators got together,” he | said, “and made a solemn compact not to vay more than the figures they fixed. | They evidently did not count upon the intelligenceof the farmersand the valuable | t | | sources of information accessible to them | | through the news columns of the news- TS, rom my own experience I feel con- | fident that while they have bound them- | selves to certain figures, they are now each | seeking to take advantage of the others by | | surreptitiously, through agents, buying | up as muck wheat as tuey can get hold of, | even ata considerable ndvance over ruling | board quotations. They had hoped to | deceive the farmers by controlling the quotations at the Produce Exchange, | which are the ones prinicd in the news- papers, but their stratagem has evidently not been succe-sful. The farmer has | recognized his opportunity, aad is disposed | to even take chances to make the most of | it. Most of them will store their wheat | and hold it until January, as they are in | a position todo so without inconvenience.’’ SWALLOWED ARSENIC. William Spaulding Attempts to Com mit Suicide in the Park. William Spaulding, a young man living with his mother at 433 Golden Gate avenue, attempted to commit suicide in | Golden Gate Park Monday afternoon by | swallowing a dose of arsenic. | About 2 o’clock he walked through the | Haight-street entrance and had gone only afew ysrds when he pulled a amall box containing the arsenic out of his pocket and emptied the contents into his mouth. Some piople who observed him asked | what he bad done and he told them. They ;ut once summoned a hack and he was ! i driven 10 the branch hospital in the park. Dr. Stafford worked on him =all afternoon and he was able 10 be sent home, accom- panied by his mother. It was reported that he had attempted suicide through grief over the death of his er, but his mother said last night that it was not so. His father and sister are | both dead and ware buried about a year {ago, but he did not grieve particulariy { over them. She could assign no reason lw;;y he should have attempted to end his 1le. o oL TodT ANTA ROSA. The Southera Pa-ific Makes a Round- | Trip Rate of $1-50. ! The Y. M.

Ton Steamer for the Central American Trade, The British ship The Hahnemann is waking an unusually iong voyage from Newcastle, England, to San Francisco, and insurance men are beginning to get a lit- tle anxious. She is now out 176 days, but on June 23 spoken in latituie 55 south, | longitude 78 west. According to that she | must be making very slow time and she dock. The Hahnemann is a smart ship, even under unfavorable circumstances, but nevertheless it is likely to be some | time before she is heard from again. Captain Bindon is well known in this port, and his friends say that he can port. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Ala- morrow. In spite of the fact that not an ounce of cargo could be handled until the | Australia got away the big steamer is now almost loaded toherlimit. Caotain How- ard, the superintendent of the dock, has | seen to it that the stevedores wasted no time, and in consequence the work of loading the vessel has been done well and | expeditiously. The deck load will con- sist of over 400 tons of apples and onions, while the remainder is made up of ma- chinery, leather, canned goods, dried fruits, bales of overalls (a large shipment), doors, sugar pine lumber, paper, coffze, barley and a hundred and one other arti- cles, not forgetting bicycles, which are sold cheaper in Sydney and Melbourns than they are in California. >. Tabrett, marine superintendent of honor of being the cleverest fisherman | among marine engineers, even if he did poil & new suit of clothes and have to | pay for a French_dinner as the resuit of | bis endeavors. Satu:day last A, D. Little, | chief engineer of the steamer Alameda; H. C. Tabrett, D. D. Wass, the well- known electrician, and Cbarles Stallman of the Pacific Tool and Supply Company, | started for a couple of days’ fishing. The | proposition was that whoever came home with the fewest fish should pay for the dinner ‘as soou as San Francisco was reached. Tabrett was the best fisherman of the quartet and was feeling correspond- | ingly happy. Suddenly he got a bite that | made him think he bhad a 10-pounder on | the nook. In his excitement he calied } upon Stallman for assietance, but the two of them could not land the tish. During the exciting struggle the two men tum- bied into the creek and Tabrett's string of fish went with them. The latter floated | away out of sight, but the rod and line were recovered, and then, and not till then, was it discovered that the genial | superintencent’s 10-pounder was a jagged | piece of quartz, which had no gold init. | Tabrett paid his bet last night, but vows to get even with Little and the rest of the bovs when the Alameda returns to port. | The work of rebuilding Folsom-sireet | wharf is to begin at once. Yesterday the Harbor Commissioners let the contract to the Thomp-on Bridge Comnany for $8180. The highest bidder was W. N. Fleicher, $9822, while the second lowest bidder was the San Francisco Briage Company, $8488. The cave-in on Broadway whart, Chief Wharfinger Root said, was due to overload- ing, cau-ed by the rush to Alaska over the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s lines, This Goodall, Perkins & Co. deny and assert that the wharf was structurally weak. At the last meeting of the commission the California Paving Company was granted the privilege of a bertn at which they couid drcik a scow to receive street sweepings. Tne privilege was granted on the assertion of Joseph Scheerer that Dr. Lovelace bad entered into n contract with him on bebaif of the Health Department. Yesterday Dr. Lovelace wrote that neither Scheerer nor the California Paving Com- pany had received a permit or entered into a contract witn the Board of Health to collect street sweepings. 1ln the eir- cum-tances the board rescinded the order granting a berth to the paying company’s arge. J. 8. Kimball & Co. are building a 1200- ton steamer for the Central American trade. She wiil be 185 feet long, 35 feet | broad, 14 feet deep and will have a guar. anteed speed of twelve knots.

He is, or at lcast was, a mechani- cal engineer, and traveled extensively through Central America. He was there long enough toleazn the Spanishlanguage thoroughty. Aiterward he was in the employ of the bonanz: firm of Mackay and Fair of Ne- vada. At length, however, he went to Nebraska and settled down there. Since | then he has been Clerk of Douglas County, the county where Omaha is situated. He | has also been State Commissioner and has filled other offices. Mr. Jenkins was appointed to succeed Otto Munchmeyer, who died by his own hana July 26 last in Salvador. There has | been a rumor that Mr. Munchmeyer's death was because of worry over account but no cfficinl report was ever received by the State Department. Mr. Jenkins wiil lock up the facts in the case. He will sail for his post to-dav on the City f Para. | Mr. Jenkins’ family is in Omana. 00T WEST OF CASTRO New Noe Valley Seeks to Im- ! prove Its Condi- | | tion, A Number of Children Deprived | of Bchool Facili- ties. Noe Valley, that in the early daysof San Francisco was a waste, having the festive | goat as its only tenants, has, like other outside sections, not only changed its in- habitants but also the contour of its geographical surroundings. Now the valley is known as “The West of Castro street,”” with a growing population of | prosperous and progressive people. The people of this district have an im- | provement ciub, and this ciub bas done valley. It has by a fair representation of | the needs of the people induced the Spring | Valley Water Company to take up the | old four-inch water mans that suppiied the people with water years ago and sub- stitute eight-inch mains through the greater portion of the valley. And with the new mains came & generous supply of | bydrants atong the streets, which are | thickly populated. This the residents I appreciate, as a matter of course, but, as they say, hydrants are all weil enough | and a necessary protection in case of fire, but they want an engine-houseand & com- pany located in the valley besides. The next want of the people, as made | menifest by the numerous peritions pre- | sented to the City Hall officials, is a | schonlhouse for their children. The last | school census gave the section 350 chil- | dren of school age. Out of this number there are over 100 children deprived of accommodation in any of the shanties rented as schoolhoures within the boundary limits ol Noe Valley. At pres- ent th-re are four little stores rented for the accommodation of the school children who cannot gain admissicn 1o the regular school building at Jersey and Noe streets, and as a consequence the children are forced to remain un the streets, deprived of an aducation. Notwithstanding this there are new buildings being added to those already oceupied which will as a matter ol course in time still add to the population of the district. Hans Peterson is building two houses on Twenty-third street, between Sanchez and Noe; Stephen Bone is erect- ing a house on the same street, at its in- tersection with Vicksburg, and also an- other on Fair Oaks, between Twenty- fourth and Twenty-fifth; E. M. Long is building on Twenty-third, between Vicks- burg and Sanchez; Jacob Heyman has started four houses on Alvord street, with several more structures 1o be commenced {in the near future, and all intended for family residence. Thomas R, Judson, in whose hall the | improvement club meets, 1n speaking on the necassities of the valiey said: “We have not a<ked for anything out here but what is ab-olutely necessarv. We have been urging for larger water maina for years; now we have ot them. We want a large schoolhouse for the chiidren; this is an absolute nece:sity. We also need an engine-house out here and additional electric lights. We are not unreasonable in our demands, as we have been contrib- uting our proportion of taxes to the im- provement of other portions of the City for a number of years, and now we simply ask the peofle to give us a portion of their taxes to improve our section. This is all we w‘nn(, and we think we are entitled to it.” B g iy e el New Electric Light Company. The Central Light and Power Company has been incorporated by Frank Pauson, C. L.

They have | been visiting the San Joaguin Valley and | other parts of California in order to see | how things are done here. | “Already we have visited and inspected the methods of carrying cn farming and | auxiliary enterprises in over half a dozen States,” said Mr. Schindler last night. “En route here we stopped for a time in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico. In ali these agricultural implements were made a special study by myself, while Mr. Gardenire lookea upthe other matters. ““While here, also, I have specially in- terested myself in the different kinds of machinery used on the farms. The reap- ers particularly have received a good deal | of attention from me. But, besides these, 1 have been examining the different kinds of plows in use here. In Russia we use only cone or two plows, or at most three, at | a time. “Qur motive power is oxen. We find these best suited (o our purposes. Inre- gard to our harvesting machines, we pre- fer the combined self binder and reaper. We have hitherto not emploved any of | the great harvesting and threshing ap- paratuses which as one machine you use 10 handle California grain. g ““We_will go from here to Utah, Colo- rado, Nebraska and North and South Da- kota. From there we will proceed through Canada and on to New York. Our trip to different parts of California has been especially pleasant and instructive.” | The gentlemen will probably remain | here only a few days. Some of the ma- chinery used in Califurnia will probably be iniroduced in Russia at an early day. Mr. Schindler went to Stockton and saw i the making of reapers, plows and various other machines, and got fi-ures on them. THAT KENNEL CLUB ROW. A Lively Time 1s Expected This Even- ing at a Meeting of the Ad- visory Board. Sportsmen and those who are interested | in the breedingand raising of thorough- | bred dogs will be afforded an opportunity thisevening of bearing what promises to { be a mostinteresting case which will come i up at a meeting of the Pacific advisory | board of the American Kennel Club. Ii will be remembered that for some months past feelings that were not of the pleasantest have existed between the editor of a local sportsman’s journal and | members of the St. Bernard Club. Arti- | cles appeared in the paper from time t time which were repulsive to the feeling of members of the St. Bernard Club and sportsmen who take an interest in kennel matters. The result of all this unpleasantness came to a head when the St, Bernara Club preferred charges before the advisory board against the editor in question. The American Kennel Club with beadquarters | in New York was informed of the exist- | | ing state of affairs in the great City of the far West, and it dispatched its secretary, Mr. Vredenburgh, or a journey of 3000 | miles to investigate the charges. They will be heard and acted upon 1ikis even- ing. The St. Bernards are not alone in the fight. Judge Mortimer has also asked for a hearing and he wll be represented at the meeting in proxy by a well-known newspaper man who is deeply interestea in the outcome of the yverbal conrest that will doubtless furnish pienty of food for discussion until next vear's dog show. Mr. Vreaenburgh will arrive this even- ing. He will be the guest of Mr. Barker during his visit and wiil locate at the Colonial Hotel. i - | i Doc Starke Convicted. In the United States District Court yester- day the jury in the case of the People vs. William Starke returned a verdict of not guilty on the first count—that of manufactur- | ing counterfeit money—and found him guilty on the second and third counts—of having in his possession and passing counterfeit money.

NEW TO-DAY. | A NERVOUS DEBILITY SUFFERER in an aggravated form shows it on his | face—a haggard, worn-looking man. The same with women. But what of the man who has lost all vital and manly power, and yet looks like a physical giant? That is just the question to which Dr. Sanden has devoted twenty years of study. Itis true that men who look strong ARE weak in this respect. Dr. Sanden has found the cause and explains it in his little work, “Three Classes of Men,”” which he sends free by mail, sealed from obser- vation, or can be had at his office. It gives tull information relating to Ir. Sanden’s Eleciric Belt. “I have full control of myself now and am | feeling better than I have done for vears.
