MINNEAPOLIS COARSE GRAINS.

Fiour-.Saturday' advance in wheat
was SO abrupt and so great that the flour
trade was fully as much surprised as deal
ers in wheat and there has been some
buying by factors desirous of getting in
at the present juncture The advance in
wheat with the strength in cash wheat
here has raised the cost Of manufacture
of flour by some 10 cents per barrel, and
the trade has taken considerable even at
that figure. There was round lot of -four
sold to the east late Saturday at a price
netting $336 in wood here. The Boston
nominal price is in some cases as high as
$410 but that is for best known brands
and even then there would be little diff
ficulty in shading that figure should some
actual offers or round lots be received
But on the whole trade is not so large as
1t might be and the mills report an extra
ordinary dullnes for such an advancing
market as is at present witnessed. There
Is some little speculative demand spring
ing up but the mills as general thing do
not encourage buying. Foreigners could
not be reached today as the advance on
this side has made them feel that Amer
lea is too far out of touch with their
ideas. Millers here in disposition to
sell are willing to shade values as ar as
possible to let in that trade but the ad
vance in wheat has placed them above the
offers too far to allow any expectation of
their getting together. Quotations are
advanced according TO the advance in
wheat.
Bran and Shorts-There is a strong
feeling in the market for these goods
with mills constantly finding it warranted
to raise their ideas as to prices and to
hold firm at advances made Most con-
Germs are holding bran in bulk at 81 and
are firm at that price. Sales are being
made on the basis where round lots are
taken, and it is the exception to the rule
when a sale shows up at less that that.
The mills charging a dollar per ton
or sacking in zoos and so cents extra for
sacking in one hundreds. At these differ
ences the mills are not particular which
they do. In both cases the price nets the
asking price for bulk stuff. The local
brokers are well fixed so far as orders
are concerned and the mills are kept pref
ty busy getting out enough stock each day
to satisfy the shipping directions
received by the brokers. The stock
is so small as to make the mills care
little as to which they sell as prices net
ting a common level so that no advantage
is to be gained by the east over the west
as is often the case. Shorts are sharing
in the firmness and are quoted at $3.50
1915.
Feed and Meal-Millers are firm in their
demands but trade is quiet. The price
of corn is higher but trade in feed has not
allowed a proportional advance, although
an occasional small lot of corn meal has
gone out at as high as 1925. The general
quotation is still 50 for car lots or larger
and mixed feed is firmly held at $9.25D
1915 according to grade.
Hay and Straw-The same conditions
that have existed in the market for these
products for some time past still exist

time, iiuctuating between these figures
number of times; towards the close ot the
session there was renewed buying and the
market sold up to 63asc, closing at 6o7sc

PRODUCE MARKET.

Minneapolis, Feb.
Butter-Market continues quiet, but is not
quotably changed. Receipts are rather light
with only slow demand. Some accumula-
ton is taking place daily and butter that
does not clean up readily necessarily loses
in selling qualities and may have to go at
lower prices later on. Eastern markets show
no Improvement. There is little speculative
or shipping demand and the market is easy
in consequence, the local demand not being
active enough to take receipts up readily.
Creamery extras are very quiet, with sell
ers generally asking 1S12c, and in some cases
obtaining it. Supplies are moderate and de-
mand dull Firsts and seconds are steady.
Diaries are easy. Really fancy makes, in
small packages, are in fair demand at
quotations. Mediums are slow, except at
low prices Buyers prefer fresh roll at 90
10c.
Roll butter is quotably unchanged. Re
ceipts are liberal and there is some accumu
dation. Selections are held at 10c, but sell
ing slowly. Fresh, sweet roll butter, in
round lots, mostly held at &c, with demand
insufficient to move receipts.
Packing stock is Salable at TIC.

There is no open market or anything. The
few cars Of hay coming each day are sold
ater looking UP a buyer, and generally
at his price as the buying side has the
hold off indefinitely. The prices realized
still range rom $3.50 to $3.50. according to
quality. Straw is nominally quoted on
the oasis of $3.50 for rye.
Barley-The offerings of barley continue
of a character that would scarcely indi-
cate the existence of a regular market for
it. Spectators, however, are willing to
pick up what is offered at prices rang
ing from IS 20 21 cents according to quail
ity. High grade stock is saleable on
shipping basis.
Flax-The offerings of fax on the diff
ferent markets are so small as to pre-
clude the possibility of much excitement
being developed anywhere. The local
quotation is on the basis Of about cents
under Chicago price
Corn-There were quite a few cars in
this morning and offered on spot. Fut-
ures at Chicago were ruling fairly steady
and the feeling in cash corn here was
about steady at Saturdays prices. No.
) yellow was quoted at 23la cents. No. 3
at generally a cent under No. 3 yellow.
The quality of No. corn varies so widely
that buyers will not take it to arrive with
out samples and the price when sold by
sample ranges from II to IA cents under
No. yellow. Carriers were in the market
for No. yellow to arrive al 23h cents.
Oats-There was firm market for May
oats at Chicago and when most Of the Of
ferings here were disposed of that market
was quoted at around 21A cents. At the
usual difference of 3A cents between No.
oats here on spot and to arrive and the
May oats at Chicago, there was some
trading done which made the basis for
the local price 1914 cents for No. 8 white.
No. generally held at 18 cents although
some cars were rather poor to bring that
much. On the other hand. there were
few cars Of No. white, good enough to
bring 1S12 cents and some cars of No. 8
good enough to bring as high as 1872
cents. No grade oats were quoted at
16M174 cents according to quality.
Rye-There was a firm market for rye
on the basis of "a cents for No. 2. Chi
cago holds firm and carriers are in the
local market at about cents under that
market for cash stock. The demand in
Kentucky still appears to be unsatisfied
and the movement that way from Chicago
and the south of us is quite large. Con-
siderable is going in storage on the lakes.

TONY TICKET SAVERS.
Special Agent Green Says Much
.BIind Baggage" Is Well Dressed.


The men who steal rides on railroad
trains are not all tramps,'' said Special
Detective James Green, of the Baltimore
and OHIO, this morning, During the past
Few weeks have taken men off blind bag
cages who were well dressed and inteli-
gent. In some instances, when arrested
and searched at the police station, they
have been found TO have from S3 to ST . in
their pockets
Detective Green believes this class of
men, in some Instances, are prompted by a
desire for the excitement and sometimes
thrilling experiences which are common to
men who beat their way on freights or
passenger plyers. In other cases it is
a desire to save money which prompts them
to beat their way.
Last night the railroad detective noticed
a tall, well-dressed man walking among
the cars in the passenger yard, scanning
them closely.
II thought at first" said Green. THAT
he might be a M ember Of the board of
directors on an inspection tour. He wore
high beaver hat, nice light-colored over
coat, patent leather shoes. while a heavy
gold watch cbain dangled from his vest
front.
ITO my surprise a half hour later he
made a wild leap for a blind baggage
on an outgoing forty-five minute passen-
ger train. He caught the platform handles
and was dragged about twenty yards
before he could swing himself upon the
steps. Before the train reached Massa-
chusetts avenue, the fellow was dis
covered and put off by the conductor" !"
This case, Green said, is but one of
many similar ones, where men dressed in
fine clothes and apparently prosperous try
to ride on trains from city to city with
out paying their way.
The tramps, as rule, haunt the freight
yards and steal rides in empty box cars.

Prussia, Poland and Wales were repre-

The trio was captured last night in an

tracks, near Fifth street northeast, where
they had sought lodging for the night.
The police OF the Ninth precinct were
notified that gang of tramps had taken
possession OF a box car, and Policemen
Pearson and Evans were sent to make a
raid. They were successful in landing unly v
three of the seven in the gang.
AS they stood in the dock this morning
each one spoke different tongue, but man.
