FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS

Flour-The level of prices is somewhat
higher than last week. although the
wheat market scarcely warrants such
event but the demand for flour appears
TO be holding out as well as it did last
week and this alone is a sufficient mo-
ment to warrant at least small advance
In prices. Winter wheat mills are buying
flour quite freely in the Northwest, and
are paying full quotations therefor. The
general trade continues to buy freely al
though individual orders are generally
somewhat limited In quantity Sales of
round lots are being made to &C South and
East on the basis of $305 to $40 for first
patents In wood here Sales of from one
to three or four cars have been made at
from $3.O5 to 1920 in wood here, while the
small retail trade is taken in less than
car lots on the basis of $3.40 here.
Bran and Shorts-The demand keeps up
Tor these articles at somewhat higher
prices than those quoted last week. Mills
are now in position to more nearly die
tate prices and terms and buyers are less
inclined to insist on concessions being
made. The Boston price is $13.25 in 200
Id sacks delivered. This at the present
rates of reight and cost Of sacking would
net somewhere around $3.50 here. Little
business can be done that basis as
most millers are asking $6.75 for standard
bran and sales Of coarse bran are quite
liberal on the basis Of 81 or better in bulk
here. There is no improvement in the de-
mand for shorts and prices are unchang-
ed. Middlings rule steady.
Feed and Meal-Sales are being made
on the basis Of 50 for coarse corn meal
or cracked corn, f. Q. b., at the mills
Some sales in small way Of corn meal
are netting as high as 1925 here. Mixed
feed is less active than pure corn product
and quotahle at $9.25@9.75, f. o. b. at the
mills. Granulated meal is firm at 81. 40 to

Hay-There is still nothing more than a
peddling trade doing in hay. Offerings

GRAIN MARKETS.
THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

The market opened weak this morning
on large northwestern receipts and large
shipments reported from the Black sea
to the continent. May opened at SEC,
sold up to 56hc, and then broke to 551kc,
which is a new record for May wheat on
this crop. The expectation of a big in
crease In the visible supply made the
trade very weak and they sold the mar
ket down in anticipation of it. When the
increase was announced, and found to be
smaller than had been expected the shorts
wanted their wheat back, and in getting

Mr.. Powe, in speaking of snakes, said
that the 'coachwhip snake" was the ter
ror of the negroes. There was an old
superstition among them that the coach
whip would whip a man to death and
then put the tip of it's tail into the nos
trils of the victim to see if he was dead
An old negro man went out to catch the
horses Of the party, which were turned
into pasture, while they were out fishing
and hunting, and on the way began
to think about snakes The old man had
bride on his arm, and by some means
one of the long leather reins had got
loose and was dragging behind him,
His imagination had worked him up so
t It the sweat was standing out on his
skin. He CHANGED to look back and
catch a glimpse Of the rein He let
blood curdling yell and ran. He looked
back and on came the rein, which he took
for coachwhip snake after him to beat
him to death The negro actually ran
until he fell exhausted, and then fearing
the superstitious act of having the tip
of the snakes tail run up his nose he
clapped his hands over his face and pre-
pared for the whipping. ST.. Louis Post

PRESCIENCE.

The new moon hung in the sky,
The sun was low in the west,
And my betrothed and
In the churchyard paused to rest,
Happy maid and lover,
Dreaming the old dream over.
The light winds wandered by,
And robins chirped from the nest.
And, 10, in the meadow sweet
Was the grave of a little child,
With a crumbling stone at the feet
And the ivy running wild,
Tangled ivy and clover
Folding it over and over.
Close to my sweetheart's feet
Was the little mound up piled.
Stricken with nameless fears
She shrank and chung to me.
And her eyes were filled with tears
For sorrow did not see.
Lightly the winds were blowing,
Softly her tears were flowing,
Tears for the unknown year
And a sorrow that was to be.

Cattle are driven before a storm and
will often go with wind 60 or 100
miles from the accustomed range unless
they reach a sheltered spot. Horses turn
their backs to storm, but the buffaloes
face it every time. They seem to keep
in about the same condition of flesh the
year round and are as good eating in
the spring as they are in the fall, and
buffalo steak is about as fine a morsel
as ever a man made meal of. About
two years ago I purchased the Jones
herd Of buffalo, which was at Omaha.
There were 81 of them in the herd, and
we paid (for have partner now) $751;

A NEW AILMENT.
Women Who Imagine They See Objects
That No One Else Sees.

Sees
Says writer in The Popular Science
Monthly: "Among the curiosities of
thought which the physician meets
with, unexpected perceptions suddenly
appearing before the mind with the
same vividness as ordinary perceptions,
but without any accompanying external
excitant, are not uncommon. A person
may look at an empty chair and yet see
a familiar form seated in that chair,
and may even hear remarks made by
this imaginary figure, and not doubt for
a moment that the figure is an actual
entity. have seen persons talking with
such imaginary individuals, and have
had them assure me that they were as
sure of their presence and Of their voices
as they were of my own. I have seen
persons manifest the greatest alarm at
the presence Of animals about them,
and refuse to believe from assurance
that those animals were not there.
"a young woman having once been
frightened by the sudden presentation
to her of white mouse has been trou-
bled for years by seeing this mouse run
ming about her, upon her clothing, upon
anything she is handling, and even upon
her food; and, as a result, she is in a
state of constant agitation and perplex-
ity, though at times convinced that this
is the product of her mind. She washes
her hands and her clothing frequently
because she is convinced that this ami
NAL has made them dirty; and she can
not divest herself Of the belief that it is
real have been sometimes able to con-
vince persons that such fancied figures
were not real by asking them to push
one eyeball up little with the finger.
This makes all objects about them seem
double, as any one can prove to himself,
but it does not double the false image
the product of the mind. The young
woman just mentioned was much COM
