All of the local zrain handlers continue to report firm markets for wheat and i|oats, and, although there have been no d further advances, prices rule very strong on all grades and some of the leading dealers are expecting a higher range of values for both staples. Orders for Flour are pouring in to the interior mills and, although most of the plants in operation are running to full capacity, the aggre- gate output is still far behind the con- sumption. The demand from local bak- ers and grocers is gradually improvine. despite the liberal quantities being given away by the rellef authorities and the movement in shipping channels is about up to the normal. ‘There is not much life to the markets for Barley. Corn and Hay, and in the absence of important business prices for all three are nominally unchanged. Feed- stuffs are dull and weak, and it is re- who have been carrying large lines, are try- ing to effect clearances of Bran by shad- ing prices. The Bean market continues in excel- H. | lent shape for the selling interests, there being a brisk movement In shipping channels as well as a steadily improving demand for local use. All kinds are moving freely at the familiar quotations, large White ‘heing the most active and firmest description. In the Dairy, Produce line Eggs on- tinue firm, owing to the continued heavy speculative buying in the country, which is curtafling the receipts at this point. The same may be said of Butter. Buy- ers offered 173c per pound for creamery jextras on 'Change yesterday, but were {unable to secure any. Cheese is firmly held, most receivars being unwilling to part with their holdings at the prevail- ing prices. Trade in fresh frults was of good rro- portions yesterday, nearly everything on the list being in good request at satis- factorv prices. Gooseberries #ind Cur- rants were the only articles to show any | weakness. The crate of Apricots that { came in fror: Coachella on the preceding ;day ‘was sold for $1.50. The situation In Vegetables was practically unchanged, Asparagus, Rbubarb and new Potatoss | being the only descriptions to show ihe least firmness. Receipts of Peas were | very light, the previous low prices hav- ing checked the movement, but there | was plenty of old stock on hand, or which there was practically ne sale. Large young Caickens are finding a good market, but Pigeons, Squabs and small Broilers are selling slowly. There is np demand whatever for Ducks or Geese. Market Quotations.

STOCK MARKET SLUGGISH. Uncertalnty Follows Sharp Break After the San Francisco Fire. NEW YORK, May 15—Today's stock market gave signs of f: into the dull and uncertain state which is the rule after first recovery from such a sharp break as that which followed the San Francisco property losses. The reason is that the recovery resulting from the declines having been overex- tended rather than from any radical change in the conditions that caused the decline. A variety of. explanations was found for the heavy tone devel- oped in the market today, but the fact is that much has xeen accomplished toward covering up the contracts on: the short side of the market, which were put out during the period of acute deprenlon of sentiment. e existence of the short interest -.nd m potential requirements. has made a useful medium for the ag- lonal operations for requirements pressing to secur ’z‘::v:nwly wu’immx‘ht into lwmmle Toe Sennspivaia. nots. msms. ot 350 | thy n or - 0 fact in itself that resort financmg was consid- A California « White | 10! market was ascribed in part to a dis- inclination to enter upon the stock market commitments until after the ndjournment of Congress. Somethlng was also made of the Standard dividend declaration, which was at tho same rate as the corresponding period | of last year, but less than for the pre- | ceding quarter of this year. ARMY OFFICERS GIVEN TOUCH OF FERRY-BOAT DISCIPLINE With Rope Around the Forward Deck of the Piedmont. Two over-officious infantry officers were given a touch of steamship disci- |pline on the ferry-boat Piledmont, which made the last trip from Oakland to the city on Sunday night. There was an enormous crowd aboard, and when the vessel neared her slip there was a scramble to get out in front in order to catch the last street cars.| The two officers forced their way through the crowd and clambered over the rope behind which the passengers are lined up. When the second mate of the Piedmont remonstrated, they treated him with fine scorn’ “Army officers,” saild the mate, “should be the first to observe the rules, as an example to others.” One of the military men muttered |a remark consigning ferry-boat regu- lations to a place supposed to be more sultry than was San Francisco im- mediately after the earthquake, and both refused to budge. The second mate whispered some- thing to the deckhand in charge of the rope, and that supernumary pre- pared for action. When the apron was lowered the mate called out “All Right,” and the scene that followed this sig- nal was one that the Pledmont's pas- sengers are still laughing over. ‘With a firm grip upon the rope, the deckhand made a rapid run across the prow, in front of the two officers, and in a trice a bumptious section of the | United States army was literally be- | ing scattered all over the deck, Taken | unawares, the two men were sent spin- {ning by the rope and then were dragged Itoward*me outer rail. The crowd, | velling its delight, rushed forward over | their prostrate forms, none too careful (about stepping upon them. When the | vanguard reached the apron and took |a hurried look backward the deckhand | was still busy. One of we army men | was struggling to arise from under | the heels of the passengers, whils the other, with the rope tangled about his knees, was being dragged backward on his hands by the stalwart sailor. The jpy of the crowd continued to | manifest itself until the last car had | departed on its way through the ruins. —_———— WANT SMEMBERS OF THE CHIT-CHAT CLUB TO MEET Secretary Wheelan Thinks That a Lit- tle Shake Should not Inter- fere With Gatherings. F. H. Wheelan, seeretary of the Chit- Chat Club yesterday addressed the fol- lowing letter to the members: “I am very sorry to report that the late readjustment between the sedi- mentary and the sandstone underlying the territory in which our club was wont to pursue it sactivities had as one of its sad results the loss of all the club's records and accounts. Hap- pily, its traditions and a thousand imemories of interesting and instruc- tive nights, of good cheer and good fel- lowship remain to us. Many of us feel that the unbroken record of more than thirty years should not be shat- tered now. e Wsee no reason why geo- logy should be permitted to interfere with literature and the pursuit of truth. “Unfortunately, I find that an unac- customed shaking has apparently stirred the lees of my memory to such a degree that I cannot recall the name lof the next essayist.
