CHICAGO MARKET
Tie Days Transactions on the Chicago Board
of Trade

| CHICAGO, April 1.-The rains which
broke the drought affected the wheat, and
May closed &c lower Wheat started with
| PC break on the rains in the winter wheat
| belt. The market was very much excIted
at the opening, from 545z to SOC being bid
Tor May IN different parts Of the pit at the
same moment but the price soon began
! to steady itself at around SAC, with m ore
buyings than sellers at that price. The
visible supply figures as they were being

ating the covering operations of the
| shorts, and the price gradually worked up
on the encouragement thus given it until
it touched 55Hc. The exports from the
Atlantic ports were fairly iberal, amount

recent advances in silver being benefit to

Primary market receipts all told were

wheat on ocean passage decreased 4S0, 600
bushels. The visible supply figures weak

were regarded as somewhat bullish.
Owing to that the price was well main
tanned at about 80 cents Notwithstanding
the easier foreign market. The changing
of long wheat from May to July widened
the spread between the two. May closed
at 55% bid and July at S612.
The Orange Judd farmer says that pres
ent general condition of winter wheat is
S5.4, which is below the conditions year
ago, when the government report gave
the condition at 96.7.

Thirty Below I'm North Dakota.
Says the Dunseith Herald of Feb. H.:
Mercury down to 80 degrees below zero
every day for the past week. The air is
still, the cold is not penetrating, and no
one complains. Farmers think nothing
of driving thirty or forty miles Gay.
Carpenters are at work on store builds
ing, merry crowd gathers every night
at the ice rink, and we read with sympa-
thetic pity Of the suffering of the shiver-
ing people of the Sunny South. By
day the sun shines with steely lus-
ter and at night the stars glitter with an
effulgence which makes the dark blue of
the sky seem black. When the moon is
full her soft light turns tho snow-clad
pralries into q field of sparkling diamonds.
The aurora borealis sends out its long
white streaks of blushing light, now
spreading, now diminishing its varie-
gated hues. Scenes like these beautify
our winter days and render them de-
liphtful

The market remains in an unsatis.

favor, the same as they have been for
many months.
While the consumption of wool
throughout the United States is to-day
about normal-the years 1893 and 1894
not beng considered have not
been stimulated as all had hoped and
many expected. The principal cause of
this is the Immense quantity of foreign
stock that is being landed on our shores
every week.
The sales reported from the seaboard
markets each week show marked in.
crease in the amount of foreign woods
sold, IN comparison with previous years,
so much so that it shows foreign wool is to
large extent taking the place Of our do-
mestic wool. While bright woods of
good staple and character hold their
own, all dark, heavy, weak staple and off.
condition stock moves very slow and at
extremely low prices.
There are still too many uncertainties
existing to predict what the future
course of the market will be, but we can
see no reason for expecting any material
change IN the near future.

The Grand Forks business men held
an enthusiastic meeting and expressed
themselves strongly against the closing
of the university. Like Artemus Ward,
who was willing to offer his wife's rela-
tions as a sacrifice on the altar of patriot
ism, the speakers at the meeting sug-
gested that the two normal schools and
the soldiers home be closed in order that
the local institution might run. One
of the speakers referred to the aid that
the city received from having the sup.
plies for two or three hundred people
purchased from the local merchants.
But no one suggested an unsel1sh plan
by which the institution might be kept in
operation. Grand Forks is rich city ia
rich country, and ber business men ali
have pockets IN their trousers. We
would suggest that they 60 down IN their
jeans and help the university along for
a year or two.
