Review of the Markets.


Trade in the mercantile line has been
unusually good tor mid-winter, in Wholesale
quarters The only important changes in
prices to note in groceries. Java cotfees and
refined sugars are down handsomely. It
seems to be the opinion that cotton goods
will rule strong during the coming season,
and that further advance may be expected.
Flour is quite unsettled since the recent rise
in wheat. There is quite broad margin in
the quotations. Some brands of xxx of
very good reputation are held at Sc. 90 " Dbl,
xxx is held firmly at Dc. 50 tor wholesale
and lob lots, and S6.75@7OO for small In
teror qualities are not now in much demand,

cess flour, which is in demand throughout
the country as the equal if not superior OF the
very best winter wheat brands, sells to deal

flour is in moderate demand at IS. 5O@6 90 "
bbl; buckwheat is not much inquired tor, and

The local offerings Of wheat have been un-
usually liberal, stimulated of course by the
very high rates which have prevailed We
have to note a very sharp decline within the
week, aggregating 10c v bushel on all quail
ties. The decline is largely in excess of any
similar movement in the great markets, and
can only be accounted for by the supposition
that buyers found themselves paying more
for grain than it was worth, or than it was
likely to be worth in the spring. The sudden
hut'ing down ola large number of the flour
ing mills OF the State, not only in Minnneapo-
lis but in nearly all the principal centres of
flour manufacture, has undoubtedly had de-
pressing influence on the current buying
price OF wheat. The reason given for this
evidently concerted movement is the alleged
oisproportion between the price of wheat and
its product, flour. Millers asserted that they
lost money on every bushel of wheat that
they bought and manufactured, although they
were careful not to give figures to support the
statement, or to give producers credit for tho
profits made on the vast amounts OF flour
formerly sold on advancing markets, which
was manufactured from low priced wheat
But there will be no serious embarrassment
likely to follow the sudden disinclination of
local manufacturers to buy our leading cereal
Millers will want wheat in the spring, if they
do not now, and will then be compelled to
pay all that it is worth.

ent OF the Chicago Tribune states that the

in the following horrible manner: He first
drove penknife into each temple, but not
satisfied with that, procured an old, rusty

inches long, and then drove that into his fore
head to the handle and then broke it of,
leaving the blade in his head. He was soon
after discovered b, his parents and endeav

than half a mile before being caught. He
was covered with blood from head to foot.

County, Kansas, left that place for Kiowa
Barbour County, with four wagons loaded
with corn. Not returning at the time they

they were murdered by Indians, and their

by the report that the remains of fonr wagons
and harnesses have been found on the road
by hunters, and by the fact that party OF
