MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
ChaInher off Colnlnerce.

Wheat opened lower on the improved
weather in the Northwest, and disposition of
some longs to realize. The volume of trade
was large and the market active. The de-
mand for September wheat was good on the
break yesterday morning and as the buying
was reinforced by advancing prices with
some excitement at other places, the market
worked up 34c. Heavy offerings checked the
advance aud prices were easier again. The
hot winds of the last few Gays are believed
to have damaged the crops in some quarters,
but as to the extent of the harm 1t is too
early to determine. Reports of it are conflict
ing, but many places seem to have suffered

tendency for wheat.

CASH WHEAT.
Receipts OF wheat were so cars; ship
ments so cars. There was a very fair de-
mand for good wheat, with the offerings
rather small, especially of fresh arrivals. A
good deal of elevator stuff was on the tables.
Low grades were dull an6 supply little
larger. Prices were firm and in about the
same general range as those of yesterday.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
Flour-The added daily output Of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
1900 bbls. There was much frmness
with flour makers to-day and they were feel
ing pretty stiff on their figures made yester-
day Enthusiastic ones were talking about
S5.85@5. 80 for Boston and other New Eng
land points. on, patents, and $500 for
patents in wood here. There were others,
whose flour seems to give quite as good satis-
faction, who talked about 81. s5@4.90. The
latter figure would be no more than equal to
the advance in wheat, or hardly SO much,
and is very reasonable change; The higher
quotation would be none too high to pay
reasonable profit If it could be secured.
Bakers quoted at S3.75@4. 20 and low
grades at 81 .50@2. Shipments 23,6S0 bbis.
Bran and Shorts-The demand was active
for all coarse mill feed, and bran brought
S1O.50@11 bulk. Shorts were quoted at
about S1l.750125O, and middlings at

THE BABIES OF THE WORLD.


The Cradles of Single Year
Would Encircle the Earth.
ST. Louis Republic.
1t has been computed that between
$4,000. 900 and 81, 100000 babies are born
in the world each year. The rate Of
production is therefore about seventy
per minute, more than one for every
beat of the clock. With the one-a-
minute calculation every newspaper
reader is familiar, but it is not every
one who stops to calculate what this
means when it comes to years supply.
1t will, therefore, probably startle a
good many persons to find 0D the
authority of a well-known hospital
writer that, could the infants of year
be ranged in a line in cradles, the
cradles would be overf1Owing and at the
same time extend around the globe. We
have the ingenious conclusion also that,
Supp0Slng the little ones grew up and
the sexes be equally divided, we would
have an army al hundred times larger
than that of Great Britain, and wife
for each soldier besides.
The same writer looks at the matter
in a still more picturesque light. He
imagines the babies being carried past
given point in their mothers arms, one
by one, and the procession being kept
up night and day until tine last corner
in the twelfth month had passed by A
sufficiently liberal rate is allowed, but
even in going past at the rate OF twenty
minute the reviewer at his post would
only have seen the sixth part of this in
fantile host after they had been passing
him at the rate of 1000 an hour during
the entire year! In other words, the
babe that had to be carried when the
tramp began would be able to walk
when but mere fraction of its COM
rades had reached the reviewers post.
and when the years Supply of babies
was drawing to close there would be a
rearguard, not of infants, but of romp-
ing six-year-old boys and girls.

More than that, there are other
ambitious politicians in the Republican
party who see the hopelessness of con-
testing for political distinction against
a bank account These poor but am
bilious Republicans have made up their
minds to knife Merriam, and to drive
the blade up to the hilt. They are max
ing no noise about it, yet they are at
work. and their work will tell in the
final count.
Gov. Merriam's main reliance for re-
election is in the party shibboleth and
the aid of money. The corporation in
fiuences are for him as against the field.
Where money can corrupt it will be
forthcoming, and will be judiciously ex-
pended. But with the Australian law
in force in the cities and large towns
money is not the important factor in an
election that it once was. The new law
eliminates the heeler from the polls and
gives the voter better show to exer-
else individual independence.
If the Democrats are only half-witted
they will elect their ticket in Minnesota
this year. Providence has given them
the opportunity, and if they have a lit
tie bit of sense to avail themselves OF
the opportunity the victory is theirs.

the door to see what was going on, and
there would be yell, and the door

The race continued until Queen Ann
town was reached. Queen took to the
woods In Kinnear's Park, and then went
down over the bluff just beyond to the
wharf at Johnson's mill. Here the
chase ended. Queen was badly winded,
but when cornered showed fight. A
chain was finally got around one of her
foreIegs and then around the other, and
Queen was a captive. She was got
back to Commercial Wharf with little
difficulty, and was easily led aboard the
boat, where Midget had been taken an
hour before. The Ferndale left for
Olympia at o'clock. Queen and Mid
get are old circus elephants, and have
always been looked upon as d0cile.
They are both natives of Africa.
