THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

Saturday. This was the top for the day,

dragged down to 57as@57kc, closing at
the low point for the day. The lack of
outside business seems to be the only
reason for the decline, as there was moth

TRIED TO CORRUPT HIM

There is serious question being
bruited about the State Capitol which in

the state auditor. This question comes
about through a small incident that hap
pened to Mr.. Dunn a few days since, and
some Of Mr.. Dunn's best friends are in

Penny Press" however, is prepared to
vOuch for the entire truth of the main
story, leaving the question of the state
auditors capacity to manage his personal
finances to be settled by the general pub
lie. The story is about as follows:
A gentleman, whom we will call Smith
because that is not his name, called upon
the state auditor and asked for a private

Smith then in a low voice proceeded
to inform Mr.. Dunn that three years age
he had gotten a permit to cut pine timber
on the state lands up in ST. Louis county
He had paid $4,000 for such permit to
somebody and the lands were estimated
to have 6,000,00O0 or 100000 feet OF
good merchantable pine growing thereon
Yes interrupted Mr.. Dunn, in a con-
fidental whisper, Il have heard some
thing about that permit. Now, honestly

advance tempted longs. whose realizing re-
suited in the closing break. May corn lost

good deal of this strength was left over
and there were a good many orders from
the outside brought In by the news of adj
vance which went out last night The fact
that Northwest deliveries were only about
two-thirds lf what they were yesterday
and less than they were a year ago also
tended 10 strengthen the situation, as did
the stronger Liverpool cables. Shorts were.
much alarmed at the situation and there
was free covering, while the scalpers got
bullsh and bought for the long account
and the offerings for a time were rather
meager. But later there was cable from
Liverpool saying that the worlds wheat
shipments last week were over nine million
bushels instead of a little seven mil
lion, announced yesterday. and the mar
ket began to weaken. Lucky longs began
TO realize profits and there was free short
selling, under which the price went off
lie from the high point, when. the liberal
clearances from the seaboard checked the
decline and sent prices up again. Decem-
Der opened at 60izQ6fc, held for time at
6olz@eos.c, broke to 5ss4c. back to 6ol1c and
at noon was 60ikc. The market turned ex-
tremely weak during the last hour for no
especial reason that could be discovered,
except that everybody apparently tried TO
sell at once. December dropped quickly
from 60isc TO 59Ac and made no reaction.
Corn opened firm and a shade higher,
but the advance was all lost and some
thing besides toward the close. May kept
within the range of 29Q29isc and 29ssc and
was close around it's lowest near the end
of the session. The latest trading in May
was at 291sc. To-day's receipts were 4Sl
cars, and the estimates for tomorrow are
610 cars.
Oats were slow but held very steady
as well as featureless. September kept at
191sq19Ac and May at 207sM21c. There was
hardly any change during the last hour,
with trade very dull, May closing at 205sc.
