Sweet cream butter is quite popu-

butter from ripeneG cream finds

Or too impetuous bird. x
How fair her conversation -

Her household, her assembly, ~
And when the sun goes down
Her voice among the aisles q
Incites the timid prayer ~
Of the minutest cricket, q
The most unworthy flower. q
When all the children sleep,
She turns as long away
As will suffice to light her lamps, !,
Then, bending from the sky,
With infinite affection
And infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Better Demand for Flour and
Grains

There was decided change in sentiment in
the wheat market yesterday, when cables
turned dearer and the milers reported bet
ter demand for flour. There were all kinds of
war Iumors, and many in the trade even of
long experience believe that we are liable to
have some war scares such as the market has
not seen for long time. There was the usual
demand for wheat by the local mills and
while the receipts were larger than for some
days past, the call was in no way decreased.
The millers, however still held to the policy
of not raising their bid above the quarter-cent
premium which has been in effect for some
time past, and the line companies sold their
usual amount on that basis. The shipping de-
mand for wheat is very small. Following are

THE LOCAL RECEIPTS LIGHT
MARKED SLUMP IN PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, March 1S-Wheat had quite lit
the boom today under the influence of the
threatening European situation, but the con-
fdent selling of the bear contingent proved
too much for the market to stand and May
closed about Hc above yesterdays final price,
after selling a cent above that figure. Corn
and oats were firm, but closed unchanged.
Provisions had an inglorious slump, and
closed considerably lower. Wheat showed de-
cided strength most of the session. Opening
prices, though showing no notable change,
were steady. This was due principally to the
disappointing cables which were quoted only
Ad higher in face of the &c advance here
yesterday. But the effect of this did not last
long. Apprehension in Europe over the po-
litical situation was powerful factor in the
strength which began to be developed The
strength was increased by the unexpected fall
ing off in local receipts, and the rumored large
export business yesterday and more reported
today. The main strength of today, however,
was active covering by the short interest,
which had become large during the last few
days. The opening price for May wheat was
unchanged at 63c, with some sales at 63bc,
and after scoring between those figures and
627sc for about half an hour, it began gradual
advance, which did not stop until 64c was
reached. In the last half-hour the market be-
came lively again, but on this occasion the
increase in business was to the accompani-
ment of the breaking BOOM The price tum-
bled down to 631sc. The high notch proved too
tempting for scaplers and holders of long
lines, and they went after it with a vengeance,
the price losing nearly all the advantage it had
been holding all day. The closing price for
May was 631s@63Ac
Corn showed considerable more activity than
of late. May opened unchanged at 29Ac, sold
to 29sc and closed at 294c bid. Oats were
firm and moderately active. May opened un-
changed at 202sc, and followed wheat, closing
at the opening price bid. Provisions had a
rather hard time of it. Hog receipts were sur
priSingly large, which caused weak and
lower opening. Short sellers followed up their
advantage, and pounded the market persist
emily all day, and closing prices were about
the lowest of the day. May pork closed the
lower at $952A; May lard lower at $3.50 .S7h,
and May ribs 10c lower at $5.071a.
Estimates: Wheat IA cars; corn, 450 cars;
oats 200 cars; hogs 10000 head.
The closing quotations ranged as follows:

FIVE MANGLED.
The Second Explosion OF a Powder
Mill I'm Eighteen Months.

PoUGHKEEPsIE,. N. Y, March IS. - A
powder mill which gives employment to
seventy-fve men at Rifton, Ulster county
blew up today. The mangled bodies of FIVE
men have been found in the ruins. The same
mill blew up about eighteen months ago, and
at that time four men were killed. The
bodies of today's explosion are mangled be-
yond recognition, and limbs and members
were scattered with the debris from the
mill to great distances. The names of the
men are: Jones, Smalley. Petersen and two
Beckers. The families and friends of the un-
fortunate men gathered about tthe mines
where heartrending scenes were enacted
The grief of wives and other relatives was
enhanced with each discovery of a human
fragment which might have been a portion
of one dear to them. The force of the explo-
sion was terrific, many windows being broken
by atmospheric waves. The dryhouse and
corning mill were destroyed.
About fifty men were employed at the mill,
and many of them were hurt, although at
present it is not known how serious their in
juries may be. In all 10000 pounds of pow
der were destroyed, and the loss to the COM
pany is placed at $50, 000 Of the men killed
all were married but one.
