THE WHEAT nARkET,

The weak condition of the wheat
market continues to be matter of
much comment. Instead of imprOy-
ing as was expected it would, it seems
to have grown on the whole, much
more unsatisfactory. There have
been great many misleading Stats
tical representations which have done
much to confuse things, and the big
crop here ia the northwest seems to
have led to the idea that there must
be an enormous over production. In
its review of the wheat situation for
the week, the Minneapolis Tribune
says: 'Beginning the new crop year
on July with visible supply Of
wheat about 100000 bushels less
than July 1, 1894, a confident assur-
ance that the farmers reserves were
extremely low and statement from
the government statistician that the
winter wheat crop was the smallest in
many years, and the total wheat crop
would be only 100000, 900 bushels, it
seems to many that wheat should ad-
vance in price. 1t was generally be-
lieved- and now a certainty-thata
big spring wheat crop would be har-
vested. Locally we have ample proof
of that fact. The insignificant move
ment of winter wheat to winter wheat
centers has fully confirmed the re-
ports of serious failure of winter
wheat and those who were sanguine
expected day by day to see the foreign
markets excited by these alleged facts
and by the constantly diminishing
visible supply. Unfortunately for the
friends of higher prices foreigners re-
fused to take alarm. Hence we find
the supposed buyer an active seller in
our own markets. Perhaps, in the
history Of the trade there has never
before existed a condition like unto
the present. And without any sug-
gestion of superior knowledge accrued
to use it is asserted that the trade
does not appear to appreciate or rea-
lie just what is going on or the sur
roundings of the trade. The Tribune
refers to the extraordinary demand
for the cash article coming from
strong hands that are able and willing
to shoulder the burden. The trade as
whole are exercising good Judgment
and more caution than usual. 1t has
begun to take cognizance of facts that
are forging ahead, which has been re-
peatedly stated in these columns.
These, in brief, are that there is a
shortage in both old and new in the
worlds supplies, and the fact that the
price is really a surplus price. In
otner words the present price is at the
bargain counter at and below cost
"There are rumors of a big deal on,
and perhaps as yoluminous as was
ever attempted. 1t is said that it
reaches from Liverpool to the North
western wheat fields. Whether these
rumOrs are true or false is question
If true it bodies i'll for legitimate

A FORTUNE FOR A BUTTON.
The Tearing of One From 8 German OFF,
GERS Coat Cost the Money.

The Cyclops, Captain Vogelgesang was
making her regular round of calls among
the Haitian ports in 1879 and touched at
Gonaives jus, after the opposition to Presi-
dent Solomon had developed into one Of
the fierce local rebellions that often arose
during his regime and rendered an exist
ence in his domain very precarious one.
The lives of those who remained faithful
to the government were put in jeopardy,
and they We're obliged to escape immedi-
ately. Some of them sought refuge on
board the Cyclops, which had touched at
Gonaives to discharge her cargo, and Cap
tain Vogelgesang refused to deliver them
up.
AS the captain was returning to the
landing place from his interview with the
general commanding the rebel troops, the
soldiers laid hands on him and tore but
ton from the breast of his coat Che was in
uniform at the time), hustled him about
and altogether subjected him to very rough
usage. He got away finally through the
intervention of the general and by telling
the people that it was not possible for him
to send the refugees away from his ship
unless he were allowed first to go on board.
He agreed to land them if he got word
from the consul before 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, and promised not to start away
before that hour. He also agreed to blow
his steamer whistle as a signal that he
was about to get under way.
No cargo could, under the circumstances,
be landed or received on board, and as
no word came from the consul, who had
wisdom enough not to be found, the whis-
tie was blown and the anchor engine
started to heave in the cable. The troops
ashore, not willing that their prey should
so easily slip away, had anticipated this
movement, and had manned the guns of a
small battery just below the landing,
which commanded the anchorage, fully
determined to blow the Cyclops out of the
water if she attempted to escape.
There was considerable excitement oc-
casioned by the loading of the guns, and
great dismay and CONSERVATION when the
steamer, having weighed anchor, turned
quietly round, passed close to the guns,
and left without shot being fired The
reason was quite apparent as the vents of
the guns were found securely spiked with
nails that had been forced down into the
chamber and bent so that they could not
be withdrawn. The German government
took up the cudgels for Captain Vogelge
sang and succeeded in getting 81, 900 in
demnity for the brass button which had
been torn from his coat in the scrimmage.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
No Important Business at its rleeting
MOnday.-Present Membership

The Commercial Club held its re-
gular meeting last night but transact
ed no business of importance. The
secretary reported that fifteen names
had been added to the membership
since the first of September.
Regarding the M. & ST. L. train,
President Alleman said he received
a letter from Mr.. Mohler, few days
ago, and while nothing had yet been
done he learned that the matter was
still receiving the attention of the Of
ficials of that road, and if anything
could be done it doubtless would be.
Rev. L. w. Beattie called the at
tention of the club to the existence of
the Choral society and it's work. He
said that the society was laboring I'M
der some disadvantages but it hoped
to weather them all right, and was
now negotiating with Mr.. Clarence Mar
shall, director of the Northwestern
Conservatory of Music, Minneapolis, to
take charge of the club. If this is done
the benefits from the society to the
musical interests of the city will be of
great value. He said that no financial
aid was asked from the club, but that
the individual interest of each men,
Der in the work was desired.
The matter of entertaining the
commercial men at some future date
was again brought up, but was laid
over for consideration at future
meetidg, and the club adjourned to
meet again on Monday, Oct. Fl.

Offers to Do Marvellous Things.

Norman Wizard laid some rather re-
markable propositions before the army
board of Notifications. He offered to
convert an old Rodman smooth bore cast
iron gun by the Reading Wizard process
into a 10 inch rifle, which could be fired
one-third more rapidly and exhibit
greater endurance than the best Of the
modern steel rifled guns.
He also proposed to convert the 20
inch smooth bore cast iron Rodman gun
just removed as obsolete from Fort
Lafayette, New York harbor, into 20
inch rifle by the same process.
Finally he offered to build an all
steel high power 16 inch rifle which, by
some popularity of construction not dis
closed, would increase in tensile strength
with every shot fired.
Mr.. Wizard asked an allotment of
funds for the purpose of bringing to
completion and test his first named
proposition. The board took the ques-
ton under consideration. Exchange.
