GRAIN MARKETS.
THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

this morning there were few buyers. May
opened at SIC, which was the top price for
the day, sold down to 5618c, up to 5S34c on
the large decrease of Bradstreets, but no
one wanted any at the advance, and prices
broke down to 56Ac, closing at that bid
and at a loss Of &c for the day There
was nothing in the news today to cause
any decline, but the trading is SO light that
any advance is hard to sustain The clear

fami ne point. And the people are do
ing bus mess on credit; paying to the
class, that has this gold Moloch in the
field, three times as much for the use Of
the credit per annum, as the increase
of wealth per annum.
This miserable jargon Of the "specie
bo>sas," If not tragical to the death
D int, would be an unactable comedy
where the lockers on would laugh
themselves to death before the play
was half out.
But with debt of thirty-fve billion
dollars round the neck of the people;
it is declaring purpose to commit a
crime against man, unparalleled in
history.
And with these awful conditions
confronting us, to demand gold
standard, is to carry the torture to a
tiercer malice, than did Satan, when
he frescoed the walls Of hell with
groups Of happy angels, in order to
Heighten the horrors OF the demand.
When the quantita tive principle,
that inheres in money, the soul in the
equity Of money, (regardless CT mate
rial as to value)-when this principle
is considered, then contraction be-
comes a factor Omnlpotent.
AS ~ has DCCH uoCuS W OliS WIN
mand" Of the Secretary or the Treas
ury, since authorizing contrac-
ton, it has less Of God in it and more
of Satan with it, than any word in the
language.
For as the volume of money goes up,
prises rise, and as the volume goes
down prices fall, making it impossible
to reach just equation between
debtor and creditor
And so long as 'debt" exists.-a
thing that should never have had ex-
istence:-but SO long as it does; to
contract or expand the volume of the
money, is the greatest crime govern
ment can commit against It's people.
1t leads to anarchy in society-and-in
the final analysis, -des troys civiliza-
tiOn.
The effects are in such unequal de-
grees as to at last present two classes:
the one class a 49," the other class
''97."
The one class dies of want, the other
ofeXcess. The ''3'' per cent class gets by
the absorbe increment
'97'' per cent Of the property real and
rsonal.-then the nation dies.
AS the march is being made towards
this ultima, society demoralizes 10 the
same ratio, that wealth centralizes.
History attests these great laws
that have lived through all the CEN
turtles Of the past.
Take the land to illustrate:
When Egypt died per cent owned
it.
When Babylon died per cent own

When Persia died per cent owned

When Greece died per cent owned

THE COURSE OF TRADE.
From the Minneapolis Penny Press.

From the Minneapolis Penny Press.
We are compelled to admit that the
outlook for trade" last week was any
thing but encouraging. We are sorry to
be unable to make any other announce
ment at the close of the month of No
vember The great Mercantile Agencies
of the country-Bradstreet's and Dun &
Company, are decidedly pessimistic in
their views for the future. These agen-
cies are compelled to admit a falling off
in volume of business" and at once seek
to account for the same from half a
dozen different standpoints. These agen-
cies claim that Thanksgiving week al
ways tends to render trade dull" Then
they say, "the mild weather" has had a
good deal to do with upsetting business.
Then they lay it to the great storm, and
so on and so forth.
There is but one encouraging sign along
the business horizon, and that is reported
by Western Jobbers, who notice a decided
increase in the demands for clothing,
wooden goods, rubbers, shoes and holiday
specialties.
The iron market is most decidedly
weaker, and one OF the most discourage
ing features connected Herewith is the
fact that an Eastern Railroad Company
has placed an order for 10000 tons of
steel rails with a London manufacturer
for the first time in many years!-the
first direct product of the glorious ben
efits arising under the Wilson-Gorman-
Brice Tariff Bill
Gold continues to flow Europeward,-
some two millions of the yellow metal
having been shipped during the week.
This places the gold reserve at point
scarcely turning eighty Millions with no
prospect of any relief.
The western receipts of wheat amount
ed to 4,505 POI bushels-an increase of a
million bushels over the corresponding
week Of last year; and for the four weeks
of November the receipts amounted in
round figures to 30,O00,000 bushels
against slightly more than half that sum
last year. The exports of wheat, -four
being counted wheat, from the United
States and Canada amounted to $780,
600 bushels or 100000 less than last
week

basis of 1925 up to $6.75 for fine stuff
Middlings can be had at $3.50 to 1915 COW
ering all qualities. !
FEED AND NEAL.
Millers report steady trade;taking an
output equal to the amount of corn at
their disposal at prices unchanged from
those ruling during the past several days.
Sales are made on the basis of 1915 for
coarse corn meal and cracked corn, with
Csc differential charge for each third
of oats added to the mixture. Granulated
meal is in good demand at $3.50 to ST. go
per barrel in cloth, for yellow and white
respectively. Bolted meal, 1Oc per barrel
less; in wood zoe extra.
HAY
Offerings continue small but Of a quail
ity generally not wanted by the class of
trade which is in need of stock. Retailers
are in the market for good hay at around
80 per ton, and their wants cannot be sat
isfied with the amount Of such at the
present time. Poor stock sells down to
$3.50. but anything under $6 goes ex-
tremely slowly
CORN. ,
Millers were in the market to pick up all
offerings of spot corn at 24W241ac, with an
occasional sale in a private way ranging
up to 25c for choice etock. Offerings
were extremely small, and the demand is
as yet unsatisfied. There is some corn
to be had to arrive, but it is difficult to
say just what prices would be accepted
as buyers and sellers were somewhat
apart.
OATS.
Offerings Of oats were again fairly good
with values ruling at the same level
which has prevailed for a week or more
No. white are selling at 1612c; No. 3
ranging from that price down to lac for
mixed.
BARLEY.
Offerings of barley are fairly large con-
sidering the demand and prices show no
change; quoted at 25c for stock arriving,
according to quality. Higher grades sal
able on a shipping basis.
RYE.
No. rye is still quoted at gle; for No.
rye, 30c was bid Trade is narrow on
account of the dullness of the market
and small offerings.

DIR. HOYT'S RECENT UTTERANCES
SEVERELY CRITICISED.
Editor Representative:
Rev. Wayland Hoyt, of the First Bap-
fist church, in his Thanksgiving sermon,
delivered yesterday, in upholding 1.-The
single gold standard" is reported as say
ing, Every wage Garner, every land
owner, has learned that it is impossible
to legisls.te fifty cents to one hundred
cents; that they are bound to have an
honest sound dollar which is also Chris
tan dollar
What a pitiable sight, to one under
standing the doctrines of bimetallism, to
hear a minister Of the gospel. from his
pulpit, trying to uphold the present Eng
lish policy of finance!
DR.. Hoyt is a man, who, by his untiring
research. profound learning and exalted
character, has won for himself the re-
spect and love of all citizens of Minnea-
polis,-and yet his remarks yesterday
about the fifty cent dollar shows utter
ignorance on his part of the money
question"
Standard Dr. Hoyt would be thanking
the Lord for stopping the coinage Of those
cheap, debaSed two cent gold dollars
Christ was not q money changer; nor a
plutocrat, and yet one of his wayward fol-
lowers, from a platform erected in the
lar-"the money of the modern pharoalls
and Shylocks," the present unit and
measure of all values,-"a Christian dol
lar" We forgive DR.. Hoyt for his utter
ances for he knows not what he says"
A dollar which is filling our land with
crime, with prostitution and the wrecks
of human characters, is not "a Christian
dollar" He calls it sound dollar.' Yes,
it is the sound Of the clod" upon the cof-
fin! 1t is producing the sound of the
"actioneers hammer" all over the land
Further he says it is an honest dol
lar" A dollar that is rObbing the people of
their property,--a dollar that has been
cornered by a few English Jews, cannot
be rightfully called IAN honest dollar
If our present financial policy is what
DR.. Hoyt terms "Christianity" and our
.'gold dollars" christian dollars then
1 fear that the people and "Christianity"
will have to part company.

changed prices delivered. No change in
freight rates has occurred, and hence
prices, net at the mills, are the same as
they have been ruling for some little
time past. Sales Of first patents are net
ting 1886 to $40 in wood here, with the
higher prices only obtained in less than
car lots. Trade while in the aggregate
is large is confined to small lots bought
to supply immediate wants. This is
largely owing to the approach of the holi-
days. The demand for export bakers ap-
