MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS,


Wheat opened strong aid higher, with a
good demand all around for covering short
May contracts. The market opened at 77aSc,
declined fraction and then advanced 10

the advance was a large decrease in country
stocks of ,346, O0n bu in February, beUer
export demand and advance in prices gener-
ally in this country, with more disposition
TO buy in Europe. Liverpool quoted gen.
eral tendency upward. with large inquiry
and few sellers. Weather was reported in
iensely cold in Europe, causing anxiety for
the outcome of the wheat plant Trading

Receipts OF wheat, including Sunday, were

was strong and track samples were picked up

existed and most of the samples were taken
on hat account. Quite large number of
outside orders were here for the purchase of
milling wheat with reasonable number of
them supplied from the larger arrivals.
There was some increased hrmness on the
part of holders caused by the excitement and
upward turn IN the speculative market.
Flour was not much Quickened but mIllers

GOT A SEAT BESIDE HIS GIRL
How One Touch OF Nature Made
Carload of Passengers Kin.

How One Touch OF Nature Made
a Carload of Passengers Hin.
New York Herald.
A young man and his hest girl got into
a Third avenue al" car last evening at
the Fifty-third street station and looked
| around for seat. 1t was just about the
time that the people were going to the
theater, and the car was crowded.
There were two seats down by the
door, however, at which the young
couple had entered. One was on
either side of a musician in uniform.
The young man put his sweetheart
in the nearer seat at once and
then stopped and asked the musician to
take the one beyond him. The fellow
He attracted the attention of the per-
SONS in that end of the car. and their
looks and whispers reused the rest Of
the passengers.
All eyes were directed at the young
man standing in front of his girl and
holding on by strap. and the musician
sitting sulenly in his seat with his
small instrument in his lap. The girl
was smiling and hluShng and gazing ut
the young man out of a pair of beauti-
full blue eyes in manner that might
compensate him for any amount of
hardship encountered in her behalf.
She was very pretty girl, with teeth
as white as snow, and there were many
men in the car who would be glad to
have chance to hold on by strap
for her sake. Her little hands were
folded modestly in her lap, and pair
of patent leather-tipped toy CATERS
peeped from beneath her draperies. He
was lucky young man. though he
wasn't quite comfortable, as he saw he
was occupying the attention OF the
whole car. He looked back unuttera-
bic love, Of course, on the fair maiden
as he hung on by the strap, and pres
entity as if shocked by the same impulse,
the tnree men went over to the inStru-
mentalist. Get upr' they said, De-
tween their teeth, as if with one voice,
and the musician rose enough to get
free of the division, and dropped heavily
into the next seat. The nearest man of
the three motiOned the young man to
the empty seat. He thanked them and
took it. The girl bowed. and barely
audible "Thank you'll" escaped her ruby
lips. The three men took off their
hats to her and returned to their places,
greeted with the pauditS of the Car.

APARROI'S SHARPNESS.
The Pertinent Inquiry Addressed
to a Dead Dog.

The Pertinent Inquiry Addressed
to a Dead Dog.
Chicago Tribune.
The little, round, fat man with the
gurgllng laugh tells the story, and de-
clares his willingness to make the uSu-
al affidavit to its truth. 1t occurred in
war times in Charleston, when that
city was under martial law. Just then
-four was a scarce article, and several
of the bakers succumbed to temptation
and made short-weight bread. This
came to the ears of the authorities, and
the provost marshal was armed with a
pair of scales and sent around to the
bake-shOps early every morning to
weigh the bread as it was taken from
the ovens. All shOrt-Weight bread found
was cOntiScated and carried away. This
summary method of procedure had d
good effect, and, after few cOntiS c L
tons, the provost marshal usually found
all things regular.
One morning a certain one of the
bakers received TIE usual call from the
marshal, and his bake was taken from
the oven, weighed and found correct to
an ounce. But during the night this
man had surreptitiously baked a guam
tlty OF light weight bread anu slowed IL
away under the counter. Just as the
marshal and his detail were leaving the
shop pet parrot, perched upon the top
OF big cage, called out: Look under
the counter" The marshal did SO,
discovered the lightweight bread
and carted it away after giving
the baker sound lecture. The man
was so mad at his parrot that after the
at,lHinrS hlH I'M ran0hnn fnr thu
treacherous bird, wrung his neck and
threw him into the gutter. But Polly
was not dead by any means. In a few
moments he opened one eye, ruffled up
his feathers like man does before he
has had his morning cocktail, and stag
gered about rather blindly i'll the gutter
until he came upon the carcass of a dead
dog. Polly cooked his eye at the de-
funct canine and then said: "Say,part-
ner. did you say anything about that
id bread?''

British Grain Trade.

LONDON, March 3.-The Mark Lano
Express, in its weekly review of the
British grain trade, says: 1.-The severe
weather has bettered the tone OF the
markets. English wheats are held. The
sales Of English wheat during the past
week were 1887 quarters, at 29s 10d,
against 54.504 quarters at 20s I'd during
the corresponding week last year.
Flour IS weak under heavy shipments
from America. Foreign wheats are
firm. excepting Californian, which has
declined Sd owing to the enormous
quantity that has arrived. Beans and
peas are down I'd. Corn and barley are
prices we're hardened by the cOntinu-
ance of frost. English wheats advanced
cd. Flour WAS firm. Corn stiffened.
Oats were Cd higher. Beans and barley
were a turn dearer

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SEASON.
Medical journal.

Medical Journal
Be sDecially careful of draughts and sudden
changes.
Do not overwork. OF what use is wealth
without health?
Keep your feet dry, but do not wear over
shoes all the time.
Remember that the pores OF your skin,
when in health. are always open, and that
closing them causes sickness.
Dress warmly, but not heavily. Wooden
clothing that permits the eXhalations of the
body to escape Is best.
Eat strengthening and hearty, but not too
much greasy food. 1t is mistake TO sup
pose that fat food contains the most vitality.
If you feel chilly at any time, take drink
OF pure whisky at once. Dutfy's Pure Malt Is
the purest and best and has the highest rec
concentrations.
Do not call the doctor for every slight all
ment. If you have cold. feel depressed and
lack appetite and vigor, you need something
TO tone and build up the system. Nothing
will do this so readily as the pure article we
have mentioned.

Il had bill for SO against man up
there"
"And he wouldn't pay and you went
for him?''
Well, he refused to pay, and l said
something about licking him. He Of
fered me half the bill to do it,"
"And you pitched in?"
II did. 1t was an account four years
old, and thought it a good thing to
even get half of it,"
But where is the debtor?"
"Oh, he's up stairs. He gave me $13
after got through, and then tainted
away, but he will come to after awhile
and go home in carriage. If you will
