poets OF winterwheat are poor and Du-
luth, with over 1900, 900 bushels in store,
has nearly one-fhird OF the total visible
supply of the country. The last week.
representatives of half dozen leading
New York exporting firms have been here,
and it is reported that all, or nearly all,
have been buying wheat. They include
such well known men as ]. l.. Gill, +.
Bailey, Of Rice, Quinby & Co., VIM. ii.
Wallace, +. V. Dare, of the New York
house OF Armour, Plankinton 4 Co., and
others, and all are eagerly watching the
situation, which is intensified by the fact
that OF the 100000 bushels here. one
half is held by carriers, and is practically
out OF the market, and 5000, 600 bushels
OF the remainder is in the hands OF ship
pers to go to New York. The New York
men interviewed on the situation all talk
bearish. They say that later reports from
the winter wheat sections than those
which were made the basis OF the late
government crop report show improve
ments, and that the prospects in the north
west for big yield are excellent, that the
flour market is overdone, and MinneapO-
lis mills cannot run much longer at their
present rate, but will largely cut down
their production; while the country elevator
companies acknowledge TO S,000,0 600 bush
els still in their houses, and that as soon as
the production OF -four drops OIL, this will
flow to Duluth, and that now held by car
riers will be forced on the market
This view is not taken by any OF the big
houses here, such as A. j. Sawyer, Dunn,
Thompson, and Owen and Farguson * Co.
Reports came yesterday from Minneapolis
that only two mills have asupply Of wheat,
and that others are picking 1t up where
they can, with the result that cash " heat
is all being taken at a heavy premium.
The result here is that there is an unusual
demand for wheat, and orders from the
outside seem to show that Duluth holds
the key to the wheat situation just now.
One Chicago firm bought nearly 500, 900
bushels Saturday. Few holders care to
let go Of their wheat and the market is in
tense condition. In -four Monday stocks
are expected to decrease rapidly, and after
a few weeks all the wheat left here will be
in the hands Of carriers holding for eleva-
tor charges.

terday: 81 think the good that will result
from these Investigations is very generally
undercstmated. / know II is easy, In
looking back over the inquiries held at
Albany and in New York city, and even
in reviewing what we have done in our
committee, TO come TO the conclusion that,
after all, but little has been accomplished
in the way of reform. ! do not believe
this is so. The mere agitation of the sub
ject OF those giant monopolies in the press
OF the country has had healthy effect,
and the examination into their methods,
even should no legislation follow imme-
dia.ely, will point to the remedies which
can hereafter be applied besides lending
the full force OF an official finding OF facts
TO the attempt which is being made to
stamp them out"
"Will your committee report a bill to
reform those evils?"

L0ngfellow's poem Of this title tells
how the Moray ian nuns 'cOnsecrated the
banner in chapel or church and pre-
scented it 10 the hero with inJunctons
that he should bear himself With bravery
and magnanimity under its folds and
that if lac fell in battle the banner should
he used as his martial cloak and STROUD. ="
The concluding lines are:
Ard the warrior took that banner proud,
And II was his martial cloak and shroud.
Ii is a fact that Count Casimir Pulaski,
visiting Lafayette when he lay sick ut
Bethlehem, Pa. in 1919, procured ban
ner from the MOravian Sisters in that
place. But all the pretty ganIture
woven by the poet around this simple cir
cumstance has been brushed away by
historical research. The sisters did not
live a clustered life, and Pulaski bought
the banner from them IN the prosaic
order of trade, for by selling this kind of
work they supported their house. On
the death of Pulaski the banner passed
into the hands Of Capt. Bental0u. of Bal

During the recent visit OF the Prince
Of Wales to Hungary he was much
struck with the magnificent mustaches
worn by tho coachmen Of that country.
One man in particular reused the admir-
alton Of his royal highness by the fierce
ness and grace Of his hirsute adornments.
The prince engaged him. On reaching
Marlborough house the jehu saw that the
coachmen, footmen and, in fact, all the
servants wore faces devoid of hair. lie
at once sought a barber and had his face
shaved clean. When the prince saw him
