MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

There appeared to be fair order trade in
futures early in the day, and there was con-
siderable local demand, making fair activity
for the first hour. Later the demand fell off
with the higher prices the market had gained,
amounting TO about 34c and dizziness was the
most prominent feature. Prices settled grad
ually, but there was no great pressure, and
they huctuated for some time around 97l2c
for December.
The general range for most Of the day was
between &c and 9Ia4c. Reports from the
country show very small farm movement of
wheat. Rains have been very heavy in the
North, and with bad roads and> wet stacks
word looking to the marketing OF grain has
been slow. News was not important. EX-
ports were quite moderate.
: Following are to-days closing wheat quo
tations:
No. hard. October, 99c; No. northern.

October, o1c; December, 92lsc; on track,

CASH WHEAT.
There was quite good request for No.
northern and hard wheats this morning, and
the Off grades sold quite well, while No. 2,
and the difference in price between it and
No. 1 northern seemed to be widening.
There was complaint Of great scarcity of
cars to h0ndle wheat in The yards here, and
much trouble was met in getting wheat
transferred in elevators to go from one road
to another some elevators refusing to accept
orders for transfer. That was causing great
trouble in handling grain promptly.
Wheat receipts for twenty-four hours were
4l2 cars, with 1873 cars shipped. Receipts of
wheat at Duluth, 259 cars The grain inspec-
ton for yesterday was as follows: Wheat

CHICAGO, H., Oct 15.--There was q good
big market in wheat to-day, and the sustained
advance in prices up to an hour before the
close was about Ac. But the market was
neither as broad nor as strong as the news
and the outlook indicated. The market
opened with little depression, which was
attributed to further short selling by the st.
Louis crowd, aud to the fear that Wall street
complications might cause some selling out
here. After 8 few minutes both these in
huenccs were out of the way and bull news
had the field. The advance, however, was
opposed by Hutchinson and a large follow
ing of room traders. and selling by Comstock
was again met. This made the progress
toward better prices slow. The bull
points were, first, firm public cables and
hrmer private cables; second, the Dow-Jones
cablegrams giving decrease Of l,I4n,OOu

LudicrOus Experience of Bust

Ludicrous Experience of Bust
ness Man While Hunting Ro-
dents.
Columbus Dispatch.
j. Cable, of East Town street, had
remarkable experience with rat last
evening. He was hunting rodents and
stopping up rat-holes in the rear of his
store about o'clock. One of the pests
which he had been chasing suddenly
disappeared.
About half an hour afterward he
placed his hand on his hip and found
that Mr.. Rat was there between his
underclothes and trousers. This was
stunning, and Mr.. Cable, though coolly
setting about to get the rodent out, was

An English Girl Who Worked in
form.
Illustrated American.
Beatrice Potter is at present one of
the most famous and talked-of women
in England. She is superbly handsome,
tall and vigorous, of a decided Spanish
type. with brilliant olive skin. big
brown eyes, blue-black hair, and won
derful scarlet lips that give color to the
warm pallor of her charming face. Miss
Potter is of ariStocratic connections,
and owns large fortune in her own
hight, but it is neither her beauty, birth
nor wealth that entities her to the
distinction she enjoys just now. For sew
eral years past she has been a devoted
pupil and disciple of the great sociolu-
gist, Herbert Spencer. Studying his
methods. imbibing his doctrines, and
striving to put into practice some of the
theories he preached, she soon found
herself cut adrlft from conventional
ties and prepared to go out in the world
to serve her fellow creatures. Then
did she undertake her recent startling
feat, the success of which has put her
name in every ones mouth. Having
stories of the horrors endured by
women in sweaters shops, she dressed
berSelf in the OdiOuS rags worn by that
class, went down into the city, found
work, and for two months lived and
labored side by side with those miserable
white slaves of the needle. Few knew
her secret. and so cleverly Were her
plans carried out that neither en-
piOyerS nor employees ever suspected
her identity. When Miss Potter had
thoroughly informed herself of all min
utiB relating to the criminal tyranny
exercised by the sweaters, and on the
hideous lives led by their femals vic
tins. she threw off her disguise, re-
turned to the West End of town, gave
exhaustive newspaper interviews, and
appealed for legislative interference.
So strong and unanswerable were her
arguments, seconded by her own ex-
perience. that parliament is at present
discussing ways and means for Fighting
this great wrong. Miss Potter is as
uncomprOmising socialist as is
is compatible with her broad
intellect and warm sympathies.
Although not of them by birth
or condition. her heart is with the peo-
pie. She has been deeply touched by
the manifold miseries of the London
poor, ana is ready TO devote her ardent
young life, with all its possibilities of
selfish pleasures, to alternating the
wretchedness of the pauper population.
In all of these signs of the times one
seems to see the slow but sure prepare
ton women are making to fit them,
selves for self-government. Every day
chronicles the story of some woman
| who, finding her life untrammeled by
| the more sacred duties of home. has
slipped beyond the bounds of narrow
| conservatism to lend hand In raising
