L. J. FERRY. Superintendent OceanicS.S. Co' (Pi mi rvle's Hearline IB OBsessea eculiar urifying I Shop-lifting; Canes Belesrated to the Limbo of Dead Thing.

The Massey-Beblesheimer shoplift lng cases are still sleeping the sleep that apparently knows no waking, in Justice Owens's court. No recent effort has been made to resurrect them, al though it Is now nearly seven months since thearrests were made, and more than $1000 worth of stolen goods recovered by the detectives. Plunder identified as coming from a dozen different stores is being held as evidence, and the owners' chances of ever having it returned to them in merchant able shape-are growing beautifully less as tne moths are getting In their work In the early spasmodic efforts to bring the defendants, Mrs. Massey and Mrs. Bemesheimer.

to trial, the ex cuse for delay was that their counsel were busy with other cases in the Superior Court. Then the Police Court muddle came up, and the excuse was made that it would be poor policy to try such important cases while the validity of the Police Court was in doubt. But the status of the Police Court has been settled long ago, and yet the Massey-Bebtesheimer shop lifting cases hang fire. The defendants have influential friends who have left no stone un turned to get the cases settled out of court, and it begins to look as though these efforts had about succeeded in having the cases re'egated to the limbo of dead things. At least, they ure already on the so-called "dead list" kept by the bailiff of the court.

It was different in the case of old man Evans, who was detected as an adept shoplifter some weeks ago. He was less fortunate in his choice cf counsel, and the matter of securing bail. The result was that he was given a speedy trial and is now serving a 180-days' sentence for petty larceny in the City Jail. People are wondering why, if Mrs. Massey and Mm.

Hebiesheimer are innocent of the charge, as they p.ilege, they do not demand an instant trial and forever clear themselvss of the stigma attaching to their names since several trunkfulls of stolen goods were found In their possession. LOS ANGELES WINS. Xext State Convention of Republican Clnna Will Meet Here.

While a sick-spell is one of the easiest things iu the world to accumulate, it is equally easy to remain well by the exercise of a little care, and the use or the proper medicines. Constipation is the great first cause of sickness.

The clogged and inactive digestive organs poison the blood with all manner of noxious impurities, which in turn are deposited in all the tissues and organs of the bodv. If this condition is neglected, a sick-spell is the consequence. It is easy to avoid this. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a sure and permanent cure for constipation.

They also cure headaches, heart-burn, biliousness, sour stomach, flatulence, and the multitude of all ills that result from constipation. One "Pellet" is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. Druggists fell them. There is danger in substitutes. Taint what you say what yon do.

The local wheat market today experienced the heaviest decline in many months. December wheat, which thirty days ago was quoted at L87, sold down to 1.394.

Speculative Interest is reviving, and the market for Americans and Grand Trunks especially are widening. Numerous brokers have deserted the Kaffir market for Americans.

Grand Trunks were benefited by the excellent April statement, showing that practically the whole of gross increase traffic secured is net earnings. Americans were bought largely here and by New York. The buying of bonds for New York was unusually large, notably Union Pacific and Atchison 4s. There was also clique buying of Union Pacific, Norfolk and Western, and Northern Pacific preferred. Prices closed one-half a dollar under the best.

Brazils continue to rise. Gold Is in strong demand for Russia and Japan, at 77s. lod. Silver continues strong on Spanish orders, ine Bank of England discount rate will probably go to 3 per cent, tomorrow. The Paris bourse was firm.

ASSOCIATED I'llKtiS NIGHT CHICAGO, June 1. There was no definite reason for a show of strength in wheat that was displayed at the opening. But scalpers seemed to regaid a reaction as due after the severe slump of yesterday, and for a while there was a moderate demand on this theory. The news of the day provea so intensely bearish, however, that buyers drew out, and as soon as the demand was checked holders of long wheat began to press It for sale. The bears became aggressive sellers, and it was not long before there was general demoralization.

July, which closed yesterday at 974, broke to 92. and September from 814 to 75. the weather for the crop could hardly have been oetter, ana stocks abroad are increasing. But perhaps the most depressing news came from St. Louts, which wired that new wheat was coming in there freely from Texas, where the harvesting and threshing were being pushed vigorously.

Liverpool cables were 74d. lower. With May out of the way. June became the regulator of casn prices. It opened at 1.18 and closed at 1.08.

against 1.20 yesterday. The market became extremely weak near the close, Liverpool cables apparently being the chief factor. July closed with a loss ot 606; September, 2. Unfavorable crop news strengthened corn at the start. The absence of shipping demand and the closing weakness In wheat undermined the faith of the bulls.

BOS1M.W June The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow of the wool market: "Considering that we haTe had one holiday the past week and that Saturday, as a half holiday.

Is always a dull period, the market has been fully as active since our last report as it was the week previous. The situation is dominated by the West. Growers and dealers are not at loggerheads over the. new clip and while they are fighting It out. wool is being shipped East on consignment.

Wool Is held very firmly in the West, but there are not a few buyers who expect to see western holders weaken in their prices eventually, and they are deferring action In anticipattion of this. The sales of the week in Boston amount to 1.640.69 pounds domestic and 495.000 pounds foreign, making a total of 2.135.000, against 2.340.000 for the previous week, and 4..2.000 for the corresponding week last year. Sales since January 1, 1898. amount to 30.483,310. pounds against 21 147,286 last year." Frnlt at Sew York.

June 1. 1S9S. STOCKS AND BONDS. The stock and bond market has leen quite firm in Kan Francisco during the past week. This is largely due to the improvement of business there, consequent upon the largfc amount of work being done for the military expedition to the Philippine Islands.

The improved reports from the fruit-growing section of the State have also had an encouraging effect on the money market. COMMERCIAL. STRAWBERRIES AT AUCTION. On several occasions there have been efforts made to establish the custom In San Francisco of selling fresh fruit by auction. These efforts have not originated with growers, but with some firm or firms of commission merchants, who wished by maintaining an auction to obtain a monopoly of the trade.

One of the latest efforts of this kind was to hold an auction of strawberries in San Francisco, an effort which proved unsuccessful after a short trial. Regarding this, the San Francisco Chronicle says editorially: "The greater part of the berries coming to this city of the varieties sold as 'Long-worth' are produced on the line of the railroad from San Francisco to Sa linas, Watsonvllle being the shipping point. Some time ago some commission houses united to start an auction house, and by guaranteeing prices for a short time and a proposal to reduce commissions secured all the berries from Watsonvllle. Hood prices 'resulted, they were In a fair way to get all the trade on the line. Then the fun began.

It may seem hard to understand how commission merchants could break up an auction, but they have ways which other people know not of. First, the 'manifests' disappeared from the sides of the cars where the railroad men are accustomed to tack them, so that the auction house could not know, until everything was sorted and counted, what berries they had and whose they were. This delayed business for an hour or two, and early delivery is essential to the success of an auotlon. The auction men say that the commission men stole the manifests. Then there was the lie about the Watsonvllle berries being poisoned by arsenical sprays, the fact being that berries are not sprayed with arsenic or anything else.

The auction men say that the commission merchants started the lie. It is in such ways as these that commission merchants can fight to break up an auction, and that their opponents say they do fight. We do not pretend to know the facts of the case. We only know that the poison lie did hinder buyers from frequenting Watsonville auctions, but did not Particularly interfere with the sale of the same berries by commission men. As a result the auction At this writing we do not know what the outcome is to be.

It looks very much like a repetition of the experience of the country dog." THE TEA OUTLOOK. Reports received at Yokohama, up to May 2, show that Japan's tea crop was greatly damaged by a severe frost, occurring on April 23. The damage was most pronounced in two districts, where there was already a decrease In acreage compared with last and previous years. A dispatch from Tacoma says: "Japanese papers state that the tea industry Is surely declining in several districts, owing largely to the Increase of expenses attendant upon tea manufacture. "Estimates for the cost of picking, firing, amount this year to 8.70 yen per 30 kemamme, compared with 6.45 yen last year.

Skilled labor is found to be higher throughout the districts than ever before, because of tie greatly in- creased cost of living. "The Central Tea Dealers' Guild of Japan received cablegrams from New Tork on April 22 stating that the tea market prospects there were rendered very unpromising by the outbreak of the Spanish war. "The guild then sent circulars to tea dealers throughout Japan urging that Hie most stringent rules be adopted in manufacturing and shipping tea to this country, which constitutes Japan's best market. "The tea-growers are considerably disheartened. The last season was a poor one, the Japanese market being greatly overstocked after June 15, previous to which shipments were large, because the United States was expected to collect a duty on tea after July 1." C.F,XF.RL IUSIXESS TOPICS.

A NEW ILLUMINANT. An exhibition of a novel llluminant was given recently in the presence of a number of representative business men. The new lighting wonder is called tiie Washington incandescent light, and was invented by George Washington, a descendant of one of the brothers of the great patriot. The San Francisco Chronicle says: "In order to produce this light a mantle is heated to incandescence, the flame being produced by kerosene oil. The oil is fed to the lamp through a small wire tubing, and there it is turned to vapor by the heat of the lamp.

The vapor Is mixed with air, resulting in a rarefied gas, which burns without any visible flame, yet furnishes a steadv. brilliant light. The oil tank used for large lights is made of drawn steel, light In weight and easily moved. When ready for use it is about two-thirds full of oil. The other third of space Is filled with air, the tank being charged with a small pump.

"It is claimed that the cost of the light is but one-twentieth that of either gas or electricity. A portable lamp, about the size of an ordinary table lamp and requiring no connecting wires, was included in the exhibition. The light was a thousand-candle power, the stated cost being one-half a cent an hour. "The new light is well known in Europe. It has been adopted by the French government, and is in use in the railway stations of the four leading lines of France.

It is also used for lighthouses on the coast of Brittany, in one place supplying lamps of 42.000-candle power. The Boulevard Hauss-man and the Avenue de l'Opera, Paris, are illuminated by this light, as are also several large factories in the French capital. In Belgium, where the light was first introduced, it has been adopted by many towns for street lighting."

NEW YORK MARKETS Shnrcs and Money, (ASSOCIATED 1'KESS NIGHT NEW YORK. June 1. Wall street todav interpreted Commodore Schley's engagement at Santiago as a success for the United States forces. Even the rather meager details of the affair and the counter claims coming through Spanish sources, did not greatly disturb this conviction. It is not entirely a sentimental result that stocks should rise upon news of a naval victory.

for dealers In stoekss take the practical view that it insures an early termination of the war, and a consequent revival of commerce and Industry. Prices bounded upward at the opening, and furious uctivity developed, together with the buoyant tone, the buying demand permeating pretty much the whole list. But it must be remembered that there has been quite a large volume of buying recently in anticipation of a naval victory. There has also been the remarkable advance in Koek Island, carrying with it a erotm of allied stocks In anticipation of today's action at the annual meeting on the dividend. This meant large selling to take profits on the culmination of the event.

There was further profit-taking during the day, which was most marked In Rock Island and People's Gas. There was very pronounced undertone of strength, however, all through nif iim. aim seme or me stocKs sustained realizing. The day's net changes are in consequence very much niixtd, many Important stocks showing losses, and the extreme advances In others being very much reduced by declines in sympathy with the weakness of special stocks.
