MINNEAPOLIS.
Chamber ofComnperce.

There was an improved feeling insWheat
but at the same time the three holidays inter
venlng before another market, tended to dis
courage the opening of new trades. There
was considerable disposition TO buy July and
sell September which made the former the
strongest. The deliveries were about 200, 900
bu, much smaller than expected Stocks
were generally higher. The calling of the
special session of congress, Aug. Z, was con-
sldered bull feature, and considerable
wheat was bought on this account The light
short interest, however, made an advance
rather uphill WORK Still, an advance of 3L9c
and 2l2c higher for cash wheat. Weather in
the Northwest was generally cool, with rains
i'll portions OF it. New wheat was received at
St. Louis ana Baltimore. Wheat ranged as
follows:
July, opening. 578sc; highest. 60c; lowest,
57$sc; closing, 60c; September, opening.

APublic Park at Valley Forge.

The governor of Pennsylvania has
signed the act which provides for the
requirement by the state of the land
embraced in the camp grounds of the
Continental army at Valley Forge and
the maintenance Of this territory as a
public park. A recent survey, at the
request OF Francis NJ. Brooke, presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Chamber of
Commerce, by engineers of the Phil
adelphia q Reading Railroad shows
that the still existing entertainments,
constructed in the winter of 1777-7S, are
1925 feet in length and from to feet
in height. There are also two earthen
redoubts. These eartlworks are ON
the brow of high hill facing the south,
the position being protected on the east
! by the Schuylkill river, and toward the
north by the Valley creek. The land
which will be converted into state park
does not include the house occupied by
Washington as headquarters and the
land Immediately adjacent, which were
acquired by an association and restored
shortly after the centennial celebration
of the evacuation of the camp. 1t was
on this occasion that the late Henry
Armltt Brown delivered the Grafton,
! which, through the school readers. has
made the story of Valley Forge familiar
to the youth of the country. After fifty
years of unsuccessful etfoFtthe preserya-
ton of the Valley Forge camp ground
is at least insured, largely because OF
the untirlng attention given to the
matter by Mr.. Brooke.

SynthesiS OF Air.

Prof. Dewar concluded his remark
able lecture OH the atmosphere and
liquid air, by performing before the
audience, at the Royal institution, an
experiment which. it is stated. has
never been made before--the synthesis
of atmospheric air. Fluid nitrogen and
fluid oxygen were mixed together in the
proportion of tour to one. aud so formed
air when they returned TO the gaseous
state. He also showed that heat rays
were not affected by passing those from
Il gas flame through bulb of liquid
oxygen and burning piece of paper
on the other side.

they can 0e obtained, if not, let the
coins bear the date of 1892 or 1898. A
charming souvenir would be a Column

also possess especial interest.
When ribbons OF rich, dark colors or
different colorS are used the handsom-
est effect Is secured with one coin of
gold and two of silver, or vice versa,
rather than all of one metal. A slight
difference in the size of the coins is also
usually more effective. For instance,
with dark blue ribbons q shining silver
dime, with the yellow gold of a dollar
gllttering on either side, looks well. If
Que wishes something almost equally
pretty. but of less value. a dazzling new
cent fianked by silver half.dimes meets
the requirements.
Very dainty are the ribbons of rose
pink and pale blue weighted with spot
less silver, while with a white ribbon
god affords desirable contrast. Where
thSSouvenir consists of valuable coins
one should procure from a silversmith a
small top bar in silver or gold. but for

Popular In ENGLAND.

During all of this time Mr.. Buchanan
seems to have been supported by the
Intelligent and sensible people of Eng
land, for in another part of this letter
he said: Il have no doubt the circular
is popular with the majority of the peo-
pie of England. Indeed. many of the
most distinguished members of parlia-
ment have never been at court because
they would not wear the prescribed CO.'S
tune"
In view of all these facts it is hardly
surprising that the American people
should smile at the performances of the
two Jersey diplomats abroad. Perhaps
the sound Democrats of the country are
not far out of the way when they sigh
for little of the Democracy of the
brand of William l.. Marcy.

win Gust, master Of ceremonies, Mr..
Buchanan said:
II am exceedingly anxious to appear
at court i'll the simple dress of an Amer
lean citizen; and this not only because
it accordS with my own taste, but be-
cause it is certain that if the minister to

attending circumstances | do not feel
disposed to yield to the idea that any
dlSreSprct was Intended by this circu-
lar, either to my country or to myself"

Matters were soon arranged, and Mr..
Buchanan was received "in the simple
dress of an American citizen, "and in the
following letter 10 his niece, Miss uar-
riet Lane, he gave an account Of his VIC
