MILLS AND MARKETS.
waiting for the Threshing--OPera-
ton of the Rollers.

Milling has been extremely dull all of
this month, not more on account of repairs
to the canal than from the sluggish condi-
ton of the market, the miilers not produc-
ing preferring to buy for orders to starting
up their mills. The Miller will review the
situation this week as follows:
THE GRAIN MARKET.
There has been some life ON Change the
past week, the rapid and steady decline in
values pushing the shorts to cover and de-
veloping some desire to buy on the part of
the few who hold bullish views. The volume
of business has not been large, but there are
many signs which augur healthy and lively
season when the crop begins to move
freely. But little new wheat has come
in as yet, although the threshers have been
busy for ten days or more and il is the opin-
ion OF many that farmers will hold their
wheat as long as possible, the majority of
them seeming to have inflated views of the
future of prices, "dollar wheat" being freely
talked about in many sections. The local
papers seem TO believe that there is a deter
mination on the part of millers and elevator
men TO let the first heavy shipments of the
new crop go by this city TO aid in breaking
prices at the lake ports, but the fact that
much of the crop has been damaged makes
1t certain that the hard wheat will be kept I'm
this vicinity for use by our mills, although
they will not hinder the passage of the infer
Tor grades tosother markets.
The verdict of the threshers is anxiously
awaited. Latest reports from the North in
dictate that the harvest this side of the bound
AIRY line will not be finished for ten DAYS or
more, the fields in some portions of the Red
river valley being under water to an extent
that prevents the entrance of machines but
as a whole, the harvest has progressed quite
favorably, and the crop promises to turn out
better than many have anticipated.
DoINGs OF THE MILLS.
The operations of our mills were on a con-
siderably larger scale last week, there being
five mills in operation part of the time
The Hour output of the week was
60,S5s barrels-averaging 1918 barrels
dGily-against p, 1925 barrels the preceding
week, and 100, 104 bbls for the corresponding
week in 1884. This week there are six mills
running, all but one of which are of the
larger class. They are turning out about
l0,GC0 barrels daily. As for next week, there is
some uncertainty about the product holding
oat as strong. There are about even chances
for some $500 barrles daily being cut OF by the
shutting down of two of the mills now run
ming. The flour market is quiet ard very
dull, some millers reporting drop of % cents
per barrel in prices on account Of the decline

caused Shooting Affray--WOnt-
EOmery Taken Back.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Quinlan
went into the Theatre Comique and arrested
colored man named Sam Montgomery,
placing him in the lookup to to await extra
dition to Keokuk, where he is wanted on a
charge of assault with dangerous weapon.
Quinlan had orders to arrest him. which he
did, but the only story obtainable is that of
the negro himself. lie told the affair to a
GLOBE reporter, saying there was no reason
for lying up here, as it would not help him
down there. Last summer he was head
meat cook at the Stanley house at Keol1uk.
4 girl named Brown was head pastry cook
at the time and made him the unintentional
victim of joke. She had a grudge against
a fellow-servant and for his benefit made a
tempting pie, into which she placed crOton
oil. The man ate the pie and Montgomery
assisted him. When the well-known effects
of crOton oil began to play on their interior
organisms the man wanted TO kill the
woman, but was restrained by Montgomery.
The girl ran and returned with 4 revolver.
Montgomery told her not to fire. and to
scare her displayed his own weapon. Moth
ing daunted, she cooked her pistol. and, to
save his life, Montgomery fired. The ball
struck her in the hand and arm, disabling.
but not fatally woundng her. He fled
from the city, and, in the meantime, the
grand jury returned an Indictment against
him. This is his story, told with every APP
pearance of truth.
A requisition is on its way, and when in
dorsed by Gov. Hubbard the negro will be
taken back TO KeOkuk
