Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat was easier in futures during the
early trading, in the face of big decrease in
United Kingdom and continent. The late
favorable conditions in the prospect of win
ter wheat in the Southwest and some other
portions of the winter wheat sections has
been adverse to advancement in the scale of
prices. Wheat has moved faster in the
Northwest than had been expected for some
weeks, and, while each bushel received
makes one less back in the interior, it weak
,ens the present market by coming on it ear
lier than was expected
Cash Wheat-The receipts at Minneapolis
and Duluth were 339 cars, SO cars going to
the latter point. There was good general
demand, and most of the samples were
worked off quite early. The only grade that
appeared to drag to speak of was poor No. 2
due principally to the narrow ditferen e ex-
listing between that grade and No. north
ern. Prices, as rule: were strongly sus-
tain ed, considering the weakness in futures
and the large offerings; May wheat opening

DEMPSEY WAS THERE.

Brilliant Sparring Between Con-
ley and the 'Nonpareil."
DALLEs, Tex, Jan. 5.-At $40 Jack
Dempsey was introduced as the cham
pion .middle-welght of the world, with
Mike Conley, his trainer. Conley is
some larger than Dempsey, and to any
one not acquainted with prize fight
ing it would seem that the
two men were unevenly matched. For
three rounds they gave the enthusiastic
audience an exhibition of the most sci
entific boxing ever seen in Dallas.
When Conley struck out Dempsey was
always out of the way, but ready with
a return blow, which sounded through
out the theater and brought cheer after

Helena, Montana.

The prosperity of Montana is not subject to
the vicissitudes Of success or failure of crops,
to drouth or flood, to financial stringencies
or panics. Her crop of precious metals is
lifted out of the ground with hourly regu-
larity and increasing bulk, insuring business
opportunities based upon foundations Of
stability and endurance.
The mines now opened produce
annually in Gold, silver, Copper
and Lead, S42 900, 900, ninety per cent
of which is disbursed III the State. There
are thousands more equally as promis-
ing awaiting capital for development.
There Is Iron, Coal, Building Stone. Clay
and Timber in Abundance.
Investments in Cattle. Horses and
Sheep, with good management, average a
profit of more than forty per cent year. The
vast bands of stock roam throughout the en-
tire year, in excellent condition supported
by the cured grasses on the ground. The
business is managed by Associations in such
manner that every PERSONS possessions are
as safe on the range as if confined to an in
closed pasture.
The city of Helena is the political.
financial, social, railroad, business and edu
cational center of the entire State.
