On the cold gray stones of New York,
And yearn for the vanished ducats
That floated away like cork.

To their offices down near Wall,
And think of the time was stranded

Oh, well for the broker man
That he smiles as the tape runs out!
Oh. bad for the lamb that stares-
He little knows what he's about!

OF clover cool and soft, and scented sweet,
With dusky clouds in deep skies and hanging
over,
And scented silence at my head and feet
Just for one hour to slip the leash of worry
In eager haste from Thoughts impatient

And watch it rushing in its needless hurry,
Disdaining wisdom's call or duty's hush.
All! it were sweet, where clover clumps are
meeting.
And daisies hiding, SO to bide and rest;
No sound except my own hearts sturdy beat

Rocking itself to sleep within my breast
Just to lie there, filled with the deeper breath

That comes of listening to wild birds
song;
Our souls require at times this free un-
sheathing-
All swords will rust if scabbard-kept too
long,
And am tired-so tired of rigid duty,
So tired of all my tired hands find to do
yearn, faint for some OF lifes free beauty,
Its looser beads with no straight string run

Die for the small joys held beyond their

NEW BOARD OF TRADE.

The Duluth market ranges about 2 cents
per bushel above Chicago prices, because of
the superior quality of No. 1 hard wheat,
which chiefly arrives here. Every ten
minutes during a session Of the board Chi
cago quotations are received by telegraph
and posted. From ~ cents to ~ cents is
about the range of No. 1 hard over the
highest figure made at the Chicago board
sales. Hence arises very lively oppor-
tunity to indulge in what is known as
''straddling," in which the telegraph is
brought into active requisition. Six grades
of spring wheat are included in the Duluth
classification: No. 1 hard, No. 1 northern,
No. 2 hard, No. 2 northern, No. 3 northern
and rejected.
Commission merchants charge consignorS
1 cent per bushel for making sales, and in
the board dealings between members the
commission rate is q cent. Sales
always specify the month when
the wheat is to be delivered.
The recorded transactions on the board
for April were 80, 900, 900 bushels. There
are several houses which will handle dur
ing the present year from $4,000. 900 to
100, 900, 900 bushels each. The total board
transactions for May were 90, 100000.
THE BIGGEST DAY
Of the month was the 27th, recording trans
actions amounting to 1900, 900. The board
is at present occupying temporary quarters
in the Metropolitan block, and the room in
which it meets is less than forty feet
square. A fine new Board of Trade build
ing of pressed brick, with brown-stone
trimmings, is now in course of erection. 1t
will be 50x115 feet in dimension, five stories
in height, and was designed by Wirth. the
st. Paul architect. 1t will stand on Supe-

shipments were the result of a forced move
ment for the support of the Lake Superior

wheat grown in Minnesota was raised near
the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers, and

of the old lines to Milwaukee and Chicago
the natural routes TO market
the difficulty of shallow canal at Sault
Ste Marie, since deepened, making freights
higher from Duluth to Buffalo than from
the Lake Michigan ports. and the absence
of market at Duluth. After hard fight
for seven years the struggle was abandoned,
and in 1876 aad 1877 Duluth sank into the
depths of dependency, with diminished
business, diminishing population and an
increasing debt. But the rapid settling up
and occupancy by farmers of Western Min
nesOta and Northern Dakota
TURNED THE TIDE
and ushered in an era of prosperity by the
force of natural trade selection. For the
product of this great, rich northern wheat
belt, the leading competitor is Minneapolis,
but this matchless hard wheat, rich in
gluten, goes only to Minneapolis now to be
made into -four, much of which in turn
goes to Duluth for shipment to Eastern
markets. From the time this wheat
first found its way to Duluth, the growth
of the city has kept pace with the increase of
acreage harvested. And right here is where
the sanguine statistician gets in his work.
This is his argument:

city for cold storage. From Portland, Or,
the western terminus, the wheat comes
pouring in, each hundred miles adding
more cars until five trains are the record for
single day. This company also brings in
large quantities of silver ore and bullion
from Dakota and Idaho. The cars are re-
loaded with agricultural implements. kero-
sene, coal, salt, lime, plaster, groceries,
ETC. The Northern Pacific has additional
southern and eastern connections with the
South and East over the double track bridge
across the bay which also admits to Du-
luth the Chicago, Minneapolis & Omaha,
which carries away large quantities of coal,
lumber and merchandise.
Among the roads unloading immense
quantities of wheat at the elevators fol-
eastern shipment is the ST. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba. In return it carries
back coal and lumber. To reach the vast
MOUNTAIN OF IRON,
ninety-four miles back of Duluth. the Du-

This road shipped 81, 105 tons of ore to Lake

Duluth may be named the Wisconsin

Delaware, Lackawanna s. Western.
Duluth, Morris & Southeastern, the
Thunder Bay, from Port Arthur,
Ontario; the Grand Marais &

latter road which, if completed, will be one
of vast importance to Duluth, opening up a
magnificent new territory, will probably
be voted bonds to the amount of $500, 900,
In return for which the road is supposed to
locate its machine shops and terminal feat
ures at Duluth.
The lumber interest at. Duluth is also an
extensive one. There are large number
of mills in the vicinity, of which Duluth
counts ten within her limits, with eleven
more in the district. Three were destroyed

system of docks in use in unloading and re-
loading is very complete, and extends over
at least half a mile of

They are provided with double tracks of
railroad. The catching and shipping OF
fish is also an industry of importance to
Duluth. Its extent may be estimated by
the statement that shipments for the last
season amounted in value to $114, AS.
Another feature of commerce here is the
cold storage business. The Marquis de
Mores has at Duluth large cold storage
warehouses for the transportation, storage
and sale of dressed beef and mutton, Pacific
ocean fish and Oregon fruits. The meats
are chiefly from the ranches in Montana
directed by the marquis, although this cold
storage line extends through to the Pacific,
with branches in the Canadian Northwest
and the Southwest and East of the United
States. 1t is predicted that within a few
years the receipts and shipments Of cattle,
