GRAIN MARKETS.
THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET

The market was strong on better cables
and light Northwestern receipts. May
wheat opened at 547sc and sold up to 5514
0553sc. The visible increase ca me in about
as expected, but on the report of adj
vance in interest rates in New York, the
market sold off again to 5412@543sc and
held around this price for some little
time. The big decrease in the English Wis
fble supply scared the shorts, and the
market advanced to 553s @5534c, closing
at 551ac bid. This is the third day of the
advance, and 2Ac above the low point.
This may be advance enough for the time
being; a large of cash wheat had been
sold to arrive on this advance and this
will begin to show up the last of this
week
The visible supply increased $50, 900 bu
against decrease last year of half a
million blu.
Local stocks increased 24O, 500 blu, and
Duluth stocks increased 100, 600 bu
The clearances We're large, sos 500 bu Of
wheat and -four from the four Atlantic
ports.
Gables were steady and fractionally
higher
The primary receipts were SIT 900 bu
against POI 900 blu last year. Minneapolis
and Duluth received $50, 400 bu of todays
total. The amount on passage decreases
10000 bu. and the English visible supply
decreases $500, 900 bu showing that they
are eating into their stocks, and that
there will be a good demand for what
wheat this country has to spare. A good
deal depends upon the condition of the
Eastern money market. If that settles
down, prices should do better.
Local receipts We're 372 cars against 142
cars last year. The demand for grade
wheat still continues, and No. l northern
sold within 12c of the May option, with
&c bid to arrive during the entire session.
At this rate cash wheat will be at a pre-
MUM over the May option before the

THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.
FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINs

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
FLOUR-Trade is at a standstill, and
millers do generally expect it to pick up
before the 10th of January, which is the
usual time for a revival of trade after the
holidays Flour is being delivered freely
from the mills of October sales, and in
many cases November sales have not
been touched. but these were generally
made for January shipment, and hence
the mills have plenty of time at their
disposal. The small advance in wheat,
which has occurred, and the strength in
cash wheat, which has advanced to about
May price. has made it necessary for
mills to raise the price of flour. and this
condition still further tends to hold buy
ers out of the market at present. First
patents now are held quite firmly at So,
as the low point for large lots.
First patents. ......... ....... So .O0eD3. 40
second patents........ ...... ) S0e03 90
BRAN AND SHORTS-There is an easy
feeling in these products. and values do
not improve. The best qualities of bran
can be had at Sc. 70. but the market may
be said to be very firm at that figure.
Sho1ts continue very weak, and a reduc
ton in price has been made. The quota
ton now stands at $685. %. covering all
grades. Sales are very small. Middlings
are quoted at $SdS. so according to grade
and are moving slowly al that price.
Brokers can get limited quantities of
standard bran on the basis of Sc. so here.
FEED AND MEAL-Millers are still
quoting these products on the basis of SO
for coarse corn products and report very
light trade doing in everything. The de-
mand for corn products however, appears
to be somewhat better than that for the
mixed feed. Mixed feed is quoted at 50. %
M9.75 according to the proportion of GA is
in the mixture. GRADUATED corn meal is
quoted a 81. 20@1 80 per Dbl, cloth. Bolt
ed meal is quoted at 1oc per Dbl less than
graduated.
HAY-Offerings of hay continue small
and the general condition of trade is un-
changed. The bulk of arrivals selling at
around S6. Poor qualities quoted down to
81 90. The quotation of s. for fancy up
land is purely nominal, as none such is
coming.
BARLEY-There is no change in the
situation in the barley market, receipts
going al old prices, which range from 1Sc
to 2lc, according to quality, and some
really good cars are found among the 21c
barley. Spectators are the only buyers
of these low grade offerings, as the malt

A. f. Burkhardt Company, upon the ap-
plication of Albert Erkenbrecker, a stock
holder and a brother-n-law of A. z. Burk-
hardt. The business is fUrS, wraps, hats.
etc, and was carried on in a large store
on Race street, a branch hat house
and furnishing goods on Fourth street.
The immediate cause of the failure was
the inability to pay $4,000 due to the
city banks on Saturday. Besides, $1,000
was due in New York shortly, for which
Albert Erkenbrecker was indorser. The
company was organized in 1892, with a
paid up capital of nearly $500, 900. OF this
amount Burkhardt and Erkenbrecller were
the largest owners. The assets were esti-
mated at $3S0,000, and the liabilities at
$250000.

SUICIDE IN LEXINGTON.
A Young Lady Takes Paris Green
No Cause Assigned.

LEXINGTON. VA, September IS
CSpecial) miss Bette Milton took Paris
green yesterday with suicidal intent, and
died this morning at 10 o'clock. She
lived here with her sister, the wife of
Conductor NJ. +. Linn, Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad. Yesterday af-
ternoon about 2 o'clock she took tea
spoonful of the poison. and soon after
the members of the family discovered
her in great agony. Physicians were
called and pronounced her illness due to
arsenical poisoning. She gradually grew
worse. and finally succumbed. She was
conscious all the time, but in great
agony, and stated that she regretted her
rash act. No cause can be assigned for
the act. but Miss Milton left a letter
addressed to her mother, who is not here
and, consequently, it has not been
opened. This letter will doubtless throw
some light on the matter. Miss Milton
was a daughter OF Peter W. Milton. OF
Red Hill, Albemarle county, and she had
only been living here a short time. She
was about "a years of age, and was very
popular with those who had known her
the short time she spent here.
