steady but rather quiet. The west is
rather letting up in forward orders while
the east is in want of stock. The mills
however, are SO well sold ahead In both
kinds that they care to do little more In
either, so that they are not inclined to
weaken owing to the light demand In the
west and they are so opposed to extending
their sales beyond present limits that they
are offering practically nothing in the
shape Of sacked goods. The prices bid are
satisfactory to them but there is a dis
position to sell as little as possible at this
time as the sales of -four are now running
away below the output and they do not
care to increae the output of -four at this
time simply to get out cheap millstuffs.
Coarse bran in bulk is worth about 81 here.
Sacked quoted at the usual difference but
as above stated there is little OF the latter
offered at any price. Shorts in bulk gen.
orally quoted at $6.75 Middlings, $S.25 and
red dog, S1061025.
Feed and Meal-Mllers are still doing
what they can in the direction of lifting
asking prices little but the trade. on
every attempt to accomplish this, stands
back and refuses to buy even in the small
est lots. There are too many mills and
too little trade for such a. thing to be sue
cessful at this time, especially when the
basis of values has not changed. Corn and
oats prices are the same as they have been
all along and so long as they hold station
airy. the buying side of the market refuses
to admit that anything exists to warrant
an advance in the prices asked by the mill
ers.. Corn meal is quoted at 49, Mixed
feed, S925@9.75 according to grade.
Hay-There is still no regular market
for this product. The offerings each day
consist of a few cars of variable quality,
ranging from poor to fairly good, but
nothing really fancy or even choice is COM
ing forward. Prices range from $500
$50 according to the fitness Of the stock
FOR the special wants Of each particular
buyer. The quotation Of 81 for fancy up
uand is purely nominal.
Barley-There is little interest shown in
this morning. The offerings are small and
connned to stock only fit for feed pur-
poses. A few cars are coming that show
up little better than the receipts some
weeks ago and the range Of price as
consequence, is wider. Values range from
Is to "a cents according to quality. High
grades are salable on shipping basis
Flax-The market is quiet. Trade is re-
stricted by the light offerings everywhere
The local quotation is about cents under
Chicago price.

PRODUCE MARKET.

minneapolis, FEB. 10.
Butter-There was asteady market extras
selling at 11lac on exchange. Generally quo
ted at 1Sc in small lots. There is no export
demand and low grade butter is accumu-
lating in ali of the principal markets. East
ern buyers are doing practically nothing in
this market, at present, leaving no outlet,
except to local dealers. They are buying
about as usual, but that demand is hardly
sufficient to prevent accumulation. The re-
ce1pts at present are light, but as stock is
not moving readily. sellers are inclined to
shade prices to move.
Creameries are firm. Extras are salable
in fair Quantities around 1712c. Firsts are
firm in sympathy. Seconds are slow and
thirds will go at more than packing stock
prices
Diaries are quiet and easy. There is a
fair demand for fancy makes but mediums
are dragging, buyers taking selections of
roll butter in preference at present prices.
There is no established price for roll but
ter. Selections are generally moving at 10c
in small way, but choice sweet fresh roll
butter in good sized lots cannot be moved
at what - considered satisfactory prices
Buyers are not willing to pay over 10c in
jObbing way.

"A NcW EuIUiOu. dU hCu uCeu frIce, OF
this Powerful and Fascinating Novel.
Out Of the everyday happe of
country town the author has constructed
a story that holds the readers attention
from beginning to end."-Chicago Herald,
"A powerful novel charmingly written.
so true to the real life Ct modern politics
as to seem more like history an biOgra phy
than romance."-ChicagO Inter-Ocean.
The story centers in the saloon of an
Indiana town. There is not a line of
moralizing in it, but is faithful. realistic.
dramatic, moving recital of events. The
scenes of rural life are depicted with a
graphic skill that would not have done dis
credit to the immortal author of Adam
Bedc. '-VOice.
ANY one opposed to the liquor traffic who
reads an Indiana Man is 1T once m pre- ssed
with the feeling thai it ought to be read in
every home in our land. 1t bears the same
lation to the fight against the saloon
that Uncle Tom $ Cabin did to the fight
against slavery."-John p ST. John.
Its purpose is to purify personal living
and correct politics. No man could have a
nobler or more needed motive.'-Francis
E Willard.
THE description of the old time spelling
match recalls wildly our boyhoOd days
and we'll worth twice the cost of the
