time at the rate of 1000, 900 bushels a
week, it is reported, or nearly ten
times as much as was exported last

fashion of looking cheerfully forward
to the inevitable, and made use Of their
lnauseleums, whil2 they lived, as pleas
ure houses and the surrounding gar
dens as appropriate for all fresco enter
tainments. 1t was a poetic inspiration
on the part of Akbar to have placed
his tomb out in the sunshine and IN the
middle of the wide marble court, with
only the blue vault Of heaven over 1t.
and the Koh-i-noor flashing like star
from the top of the little marble col
umn at the head.
FERGUSON does not mention the hoh-
i-noor, nor does the little column four
feet high, said to have been covered
with gold, but It still stands there with
the empty socket on top, and it was,
at all events, unique and pleasing
idea. Few deserted cities are more i'm
pressive than Futtipoor Siiri, and the
splendid gateway of the mosque, which
towers to the height Of 100 feet above
the ground, dwarting every structure
within the walls, is a landmark for all
the neighboring country. Every build
ing which has in any measure escaped
the ravages of time is of the same red
sandstone, and the only exception is
the white marble tomb of Selim Chist1,
which stands in the courtyard OF the
mosque Such miracles of delicate
tracery and such fantastically twisted
brackets were surely never before
wrought in unyielding marble, and as
the sculptured cells in the temples of
Mount Abut represented the highest at
tainment of Hindoo art in this direc-
ton, so the tomb of Selim Chisti may
stand as an example of what ingenious
Mussulman architects may accomplish
within the range of purely geometric
design, circumscribed as they are by
the limitation of their creed.
The most unique of all the little
structures standing in the neighbor-
hood or on the near margin of the
bank in the vast court inclosed by the
palace walls, is the one commonly
called the sultana's kiosk, and lovingly
designed as the boudoir of an imperial.
We know little today of the jewel
which it sheltered, but onemay at least
hope that it was worthy of such a
casket The red stone is peculiarly
deep and rich in quality of color, and
as every inch of it is carved and fretted
it resembles closely a Japanese bibelot
of. verrnillion lacquer.
The "House of Beerburs Daughter"
and all the others, of which no two
are alike, show a similar eXuberance of
fancy, so that no one of these fortu-
nate sultanas had reason to be jealous
of a rivals installation, since all were
equally we'll lodged. Nothing at F'ut-
tipoor Sil1ri is more impressive than the
view of the walls, and the strange out
lines of the structures towering above
them, when one leaves, at sunset, the
gateway on the north, where stand
two great elephants of stone with in
terlinked trunks, and, descending the
steep pathway incumbered with fallen
fragments, he reaches the isolated tow
er bristling1 with elephants tusks. Here
he may look back to the deserted cap
ital, or forward to the western glow,
beyond the crumbling ruins of the last
and uttermost wall, where the great
vultures and adiutant storks balance
themselves on the broken battlements.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Dull Because of the Absence of
Outside News,

The local market was exceedingly
dull, following the absence Of outside
news. No reports were received from
Chicago until after noon and then it
was learned that Chicago had no com
munication with the East and only
with st. Louis. The opening OH the
local board was firm, and 1se was
gained over closing prices of Monday,
but the absence of news made traders
timid, and there was small decline.
The range was only Ac. December
opened at 527s@59c, and closed at 52&4d
527sc. May opened at 57ss@5711ac, and
closed at 571s@574c, against closing
prices yesterday of 577s@572sc. There
were no reports on clearances or pri-
mary receipts. Gable gossip was linn
tied to reports from continental mar
kets, showing a higher range at Ant
werp and Berlin.

was paid generally for cash wheat. A
