terday morning. This state of the market con-
tinued for about half an hour, when prices
became steady and the demand for futures
was good at inside quotations. Sales of
futures were the largest for the week

carefully and bought here and there a few
choice lots, and some others were taken for
shipment. Toward the close there was a
better demand for No. l hard; December,

DULUTH, Nov. 20.-In our market we have
experienced another day of dullness, with
some degree of activity. Curb feeling was
ste dy but weak, although there was a fair
amount of buying orders on the floor at the
decline, and some trading was done. Opening
trading reached decline of 5sc on both De-
cember and May at 9275c and 994c. 1t held
very steady at these figures for some time,
but was not very strong but somewhat active.
1t declined slightly to 9934c for May and
925sc for December, with rather more
BUYERS than sellers at the decline, al
though they did not appear anxious.
Values gradually grew frmer shortly
before noon December had reached 9Ssc,
May $1.0J1Ec, with some buying demand
Northern wheat has only sold in small way,
December. at S90S9H; cash has been in light
demand, No hard selling at t9214092$s9921ac 81
with No. Northern at 9712, No. 2Northeru at
sac. Toward the close the market continued
firm, but not active, values at the highest
point of the morning with sellers. AT the
close the feeling was steady, but inclined to
be a little weak. December, 921sc; May 81
with sellers. The afternoon market
was very quiet with but little disposition to
trade. A firm undertone prevailed, which
prevented any decline but did not encourage
buying TO any great extent. May sold at
9259c early; cash No. l hard regular, 1Ac.
AT the close the feeling was somewhat i'm
proved and better prices asked. December

led to the scatfDld. lie responded
to the Latin prayers with IA full. clear
voice while on his bendad knees. When
the moment came to rise to have his
arms and hands plnioned he kept look
ing up, slowly repeating his prayers.
lie then walked through the contracted
opening. and down the narrow stairway
with his face turned from the few civil
ians and soldiers who stood about the
opening. When he was about to take
his place on the trap the deputy sheriff
asked if he had ANYTHING to say. lie
turned to his confessor, Pere Andre.and
inquired: ''SAall not say few
words?" No." quickly replied the
priest, ''make this your last sacrifice.
and you will be rewarded . Riel turn
ed and remarked in English: Il have
nothing to say There was some
delay in adjusting the moose, but Riel
did not mark upon it. and as the cap
closed over him he could be distinctly
heard repeating his prayers. At the
supreme moment he died without a strug-
gle.
During the night Pere Andre urged
upon kiel not TO attempt an address
upon the scatfold, and suggested that
reprieve might still be on it's way, but
this idea kiel strenuously repealed. He
said he knew his hour had come. and
that he was not only prepared. but that
he would not have 1t any other way. us
nothing but the alternativeo of prison for
life awaited him, and to him. death
was preferable to that.
Riel's time has been devoted assdu-
ously to prayer. Soon after his cap

ed to throw off his allegiance to the
Roman Catholic church. and took the
cue of a prophet. claiming to see visions
and fore.eling events. Latterly. as his
fate seemed more surely sealed. lie
sought comfort again ip his original
faith.
In appearance, his beard was dark.
neatly trimmed, and his hair was brush
ed back from his high forehead, with
tendency to curl, in contrast to the
straight hair of his Indian progenitors.
His nose was slightly Roman, and his
skin dark. but not swarthy. Looking
at him and witnessing his manners it
was easy to discern the influence he had
winh his people. His address was that
of skilled courtierand his college tram
ing never deserted him. The perfection
and grace of his speech We're all the more
remarkable, In contrast to that OF his
followers.
