WHEAT AND FLOUR.

Though the Former Is Going Up Rapidly
the Latter Rises Very Slowly.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 2.-There are two
mills, representing daily capacity Of
z 1000 barrels, shut down this week, and
more promise to be idle a week hence.
Millers say that although wheat keeps
going up flour is unstable, and that
there is no other alternative for them
than to stop grinding until there is a
change in the relative positions of wheat
and flour. The flour market continues
very dull, with millers inclined to ask
more to offset the advance in wheat.
Offers range little higher than a week
ago

seldom known among cabinet officers.
1t is the usual fate of such officials to be

from the moment they take possession Of

they relinquish their grasp on the han

typewriter and clerk in the bureau Of
steam engineering left 5000 vacancy to
be filled. The civil service commission
was called upon to furnish list of eli.
gibles for the selection of clerk to fill
the place. The selection was made, but
the appointee declined the Office. An
other and another declined: Yesterday
a telegraphic refusal was received from
the twelfth appointee. A similar expe-
rience is, being undergone in filing po.

office. Nine ladies have refused the ap.
pointment, and the tenth has just been
