What Tacoma Is Polng Will Soon Re Doubled Here. Tacoma Ledger. At no time In the history of Tacoma have her export lumber, flour and ce real mills been taxed more heavily than now. The two large flouring mills are run ning day and night. The two cereal mills are doing likewise, and the' same Is true of the two large lumber manu facturing concerns. The Puget Sound Flouring Mill has carried a night shift constantly for many months. It does the greater part of the manufacturing of Hour on the Sound for export, and with Its large equipment closing down at night would result In appreciable Iobs. The Watson, Olds & Co. mill was some time, ago forced to continue run ning far Into the night, the mill's In creased orders for flour for export be ing the principal cause. The orders lied up so fast of late that beginning Monday the mill bn been run day and night with two force.. The steamer riicoma, sailing from this port tomor row morning for the orient, will carry a hi-nvy shipment of flour from this lant. The bulk of the vessel's cargo of .wo tons will be Washington flour. The Ht. I'aul Sc Tocorna lumlxr mill within the last two Weeks put on a rtlght force and Is now running 24 hours tally. A short time ago the day bands put In several hour extra tlmo each evening, but the preasure of orders li'miindcd the Increased crow. There ire live lumber shl at the company's wharf loading for Tahiti. Australia snd .ther Parlflc. ocean point. Other Ves sels are m route. The big Tacoma lumber mill I run ning full blast In the day time and two hour extra at night. Nine vessels Including one steamship are loading there for Kurope, Australia, Houth Af rica and other countries. The Hill Oreal Company has been forced l run Its mill day and part of the night for the lav three week. For the lost few day It has occasionally run all night to keep up with orders. The Cascade Cereal Company Is bard pressed for lime and steadily operates fur Into, the night. On year ago there was but one cereal mill In the Bound country. That was the old Cascade Ootmeal Mill. Now two cereal mills are running here and a thirl one Is In operation In Seattle. All are of the same rapacity practical ly, and all are about equally hard pressed to supply orders. The leading staple produced by the cereal mills, which Is rolled oats. Is steadily advancing In price all over the country. Within the last week It ha Jumped up a dollar a barrel In Tacoma, The market Is firm and the tendency strongly upward. The advance Is a natural nnult of a light oat yield over the slates in general. The price of oats In the f'uget Hound market has gone up ti.M a ton within the last sev en days and the tendency Is favor able f'r a further rise. Quotations on prices paid the furmer now are from iiriiu to t ') a ton. which Is M more than at any lime lat year. The g'-n eral crop Miortgc does not apply to the Pound district. On the contrary the yield has lnn-n Very heavy and the fortunate growers are In clover. Kvery section Is txTig drained of oats to supply the established markets California Is buying large Quantities of the Pound product. I-ast year large .Uiintlties of oats were stored In ware-hous.-s In Seattle and Tacoma until late In the spring. None are now In storage at these ports, and prospects me there will be none. Kecelpts of oats at Tacoma since October 1 have been 1C.D00 sacks, half of which are for milling purposes and the other half for feed. I'uget Sound oats, the grain In spectors say, are not so plump In the berry this year as last, owing to dry weather. The absence of rains has pre cluded the possibility of staining and they are as bright as a dollar. The Gnx-ery World says: "The price of rolled oats has advanced sharply of late, going up In loss than a month from IS.35 and 2.M) to 13.25 and J3.D0 for llrst to seconds. It Is said that this year's oat crop will be 100.000,000 bushels short as compared with last season's harvest, over 400.000. Accord ing to this the man who said that the use of bicycles would advance the price of onts b.-oause they made the bicyclist so hungry that they made up for the loss on horses appears to have bullded better than he knew." The flouring mills are taking the great part of the state's yield of blue stem wheat for milling purposes. Club Is about the only grain being shipped crude. MISS KATIE MULLIN. Miss Katie Mullln, of the Maglnel Mullln Concert Company, Is one of the few lady players on the saxophone, the most difficult instrument to perform on. She Is also the only lady playing this Instrument In this country. The Gal veston News says "The Magrlnel-Mul-lln Concert Company gave the grand est concert which has ever been pro duced on the beach at Galveston, and was attended by such an Immense throng that thousands were turned away." The Nashville American says of this company: "The petite and popular Miss May Mullln, the only lady cornet solo ist who has ever graced Nashville so ciety, then presented a tripple-tongue cornet solo, marvelous for its clean cut execution. Upon encore, Miss Mul lln and her younger sister, Katie, suc cessfully essayed a comet duo, which was a wonderful revelation of the pos sibilities of the cornet." They appear here for one night only, at Fisher's Opera House, Tuesday, Oc tober 20th. GKAND RALLY.

BIG JUMP IN THE WHEAT MARKET A Kist of four Cents Causes General Alarm Amonijst the liuycrs. FOREIGN DEMAND IS BRISK Umdon. IJv.-rpool, Berlin. Chicago, Ban Kranclm o and New York Markets Much Excited More Bhlpments of Wheat to India Chicago. October 17. The seml-exclt- ed state of the wheat market, as y es ter lay's session was cmlng to a close. wa Increased this morning Into a fairly go1 specimen of general alarm. That fear wan well grounded a It turned out. There wa not a single bushel to be had for less than 1 advance on yester day s closing price, and very little at under 74 cents, or IN. cents higher than it closed at yesterday for December de livery. The reason for such sudden and ma terial rise, following the big jump of the previous day stuck clear out from official bulletin boards. Foreign mar kets led In the scramble just as they did on the day before. A public dis patch from Liverpool quoted an ad vance tlwre over night of 24d per cen tal, which Is an equivalent of 3 cents per bushel. Private cablegrams re ported Liverpool and London wheat ex cited at the advance already named at the former, and "'id at the latter place. New York wired that forigners were active buyers there and claimed that 175 tx sit loads equal to 1.410.000 bushels wore taken there. With that for a starter the prices bid for December at the opening were from 734 to 74 cents against 72''. cents at the end of yester day's session. The crowd had scarcely got accustom ed to the 74 cent wheat when further dispatches of an exciting character started them again and the price rose to 74T. A San Francisco message said that two more steamer cargoes of wheat had been taken for India, and that In quiries were now being made for sailing vessels to take wheat to the same des 1 1 nation. The signllleance of the latter point In the dispatch was the Indication it gave of the expected long continuance of Indian requirements. On top of all that, a private cablegram reported the Berlin market excited and five marks higher, that being equivalent to 31 cents per bushel. It is no wonder that speculators scrambled for wheat. And they did. There was simply no bear news of any kind and the only chance the anxious shorts had was when a speculator, satisfied with the profit In sight, put his line on the market. There was plenty of this done, but everything was grabbed at and the price never stopped advancing until 76Mi cents had been scored, exactly 4 cents above yes terday's closing. ' Here realizing In creased and was sufficient to break the price of December to 73S at the cluse. San Francisco, October 17. At the closing session of the produce exchange call board today wheat had a gradual ilecline. In the local speculative mur- ket. the highest during the present ex citement was reached when Deceni'ier wheat was sold for J1.50 pet cental, against (1414 as the best price paid yesterday. The opening figures this morning were $1,474, an advance over yesterday's opening of 94 cents. The lowest point reached today for December was 1.464, while yesterday's lowest figure for the same option was J1.3S. After the tl.60 mark was reached today December gradually .weakened until at the close it had reached a fig ure below the opening price. May wheat took practically the same course as De cember, opening at 11.50, an advance over yesterday's opening of 9 cents. then strengthening up to J1.B1 and then receding to $1.484, at which figure It closed. New York, October 17. The bull campaign In wheat was marked today by another sensational advance In prices and heavy trade. The total trans actions in futures aggregated 9.7SO.0O0 bushels. Prices started up with 4c above last night and during the session were elevated 1 cent more. May show ed the most strength, touching at 84Ts, or an advance of 34 cents over last night, and Ihi cents over the close of last Saturday. The corn and oats markets were stlnv ulated to unusual activity by the Jump In wheat, and showed good advances. THE NEW YORK BANKS. New York, October 17. The Financier says of the bank statement: It Is complicated by conditions which do not appear on the surface. The banks lost to the Interior some $2,000,000 and the only offset was the Increase of specie aa shown In that item. But with the gold received during the week It did not figure in the statement and this fact, together with the assurance that Imports are bound to continue in heavy volume rather fuvors the idea that Iho money market will not exhibit thut de gree of stringency which a superliclal study of the statement might Indicate The discrepancy between the total loss of cash and the amount which went Into the Interior is large, and the j only way to account for It Is on the I supposition tbat large loan were made for gold Importing purpose. The open j premium ruling on gold Indicates that there must be a demand for it. and there Is doubtless tome hoarding, but the current statement does not reflect i thl In a general way. As compared with August 19 last, the deposit of the New York banks have Increased only $2,000,000. although the Imports of gold since that time have been in the neighborhood of $50,000,000.

"I am more of a gold man than ever," said a prominent citizen yesterday who attended the Pennoyer meeting. "I have been in favor of the gold standard, but was willing to be convinced that my position was wrong. I went to hear Pennoyer, who appeared to me to be nothing more or less than a calamity howler. A ten-year-old child could have made a better argument than he did. Instead of giving good and suffi cient reasons for the support of the free coinage of silver movement, his entire speech was devoted to calamity stories, vilification of Cleveland and Mitchell, and abuse of the First Na tional Bank, of Portland, which In any other country than thia would have been considered criminal. He was supposed to have been addressing Astorians and Clatsop county people, but a very large part of his audience was composed of residents from the state of Washington. I did not hear a single fact stated which In any manner would have led me to change my opinion. What the people want Is facts, and not oratory, and sto ries, which prove nothing. Stories are all right to Illustrate facts, but stories alone do not make an argument." REBEKAHS, ATTENTION.
