moderate gain in price by today's trad
Ing. Early weakness gave way to ex-
traordinary strength, which was follow
Cd by fairly steady feeling at some de-
cline from the outside. The strength
came from foreign advices from a large
decrease in the visible supply of 1850 900
bu., and from talk of manipulation. The
amount On ocean passage was unchanged
Export cleararces were fair. Cash
wheat was strong and 1@1Ac higher.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow 36 cars.
July closed &c higher than Saturday.
Corn was Arm at the opening on large
cawals from store. There was good
ing at outside figures. The visi-
96arply decreased 432, 900 bu, and the
amount on ocean passage 100000 bu. Es-
timated receipts for tomorrow 400 cars.
July closed easy and nc lower than Sat

- Oats were easy on good realizing. The

THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.
The market started out little weaker
this morning, the first in July being at
At this price good buying developed, and
July sold at $3.50 before 10 o'clock, an
advance, of 21sc from the low point. This
was the top of the day and on realizing
saleS<most of the advance was lost. The
wafket shows great strength, however,
rds the advance comes easily, and on the
upturn there was practically no wheat
for SALE Cables were strong, opening
from Cd to Is higher and closing at the
same price. The visible supply decreased
2,850,00 blu, and is now 700, 900 bu less
than year ago. Shipments from the
Atlantic seaboard, 100000 blu of wheat
and flour. The weather map shows rain
general throughout the country, but this
has ceased to be factor, and the chief
feature now is the big demand for cash
wheat in all the markets. This demand
seems to grow larger with the advancing
prices, and the probabilities are all in
favor Of still further advance. The re-
ceipts of cash wheat was large in the
Northwest, 514 cars today against POI
cars a year ago. The demand was good
for all the No. that was offered and it
sold readily at Ac over the May option.

Five Miles Up to a snowstorm.

There is little to suggest II snOwstorm
in the appearance Of the aerial curls and
feathers that are named by mctcorologists
cirrus clouds. But DR.. A. Benson during
q lofty balloon voyage in Germany passed
through cirrus cloud at height exceed
ing five miles and half and found that it
consisted of small but perfectly formed
flakes of snow. 1t was u little snowStorm
floating high in the sky. If it had de-
scendcd carthward, it would have been
turned into mist or rain.
During this voyage, which was one of
the most extraordinary balloon trips on
record, DIR. Benson attained a height of
very nearly six miles. He would undoubt-
eddy have lost COnsCiousncSS-as Mr.. Glai-
sher did in his still lofticr ascent many
years ago-if lie had not rCsortcd to an cN-
pcdient which reminds one Of the ingcn-
ious devices of some Of Jules Vcrno's eX-
traordnary heroes.
DR.. Benson carried with him bags of
