The Minneapolis Mercury says the sensation
caused by the $100,00 loss in wheat deal
of H. w. Holmes, Of the SiGdle-F Fletcher Holmes
company, millers has subsided since the ex-
planatiOn has been made that Mr.. Holmes was
alone In the transaction and that no other mil
Ter or dealer is mixed up in the disaster.
While the other members Of his own firm and
the majority Of Minneapolis operators believed
that the market would continue to decline and
took prompt measures to protect themselves,
Mr.. Holmes cluDg to the hope that wheat would
rise, and persisted in staying on the bull side.
Last Saturday he was overcome by nervous
prostration on account of the excitement which
he has undergone, and he has remained at his
home in critical condition ever since. When
Mr.. Holmes first went into buying wheat quite
a number of capitalists were doing the same.
Michael Doran and P. h. Kelley, Of St. Paul,
had 100000 bushels at one time, and took
the back tack after getting badly bitten by the
bears. Col. John T. West, as is well known,
bought million bushels at 80 cents, but, as is
not so we'll known, let it 60 at sacrifice Of
about cents per bushel.

Discouaging for Admissionists.

A Washington dispatch says there seems to
b. but little prospect Of Dakota being admitted
as a state at this session of congress. The
Democrats Of the territory, to very consider
able number, have written to the members of
the committee on territories, objecting to d.
line of the Missouri river be followed. In
stead, it is the disposition Of the House territor-
ial committee to adept the latter suggestion,
and they will either lay before the House bill
TO this effect or report adversely on the Senate
bill admitting only the Southern half. As it ia
highly probable the House will be guided by
the committees action, no matter which OF
these two courses it may adopt, the natural re-
suit will be to throw the entire subject back
into the Senate where the most vigorous meas.
ures will be necessary to bring it to the front
again.
