MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS,
Light Trade, but ConsiderabI
Strength in Grain


There was not heavy trade doing in specu-
latlve wheat, but the market at times showed
considerable strength Stocks of wheat in
country houses are decreasing somewhat more
rapidly that was the case some time ago. The
attention of farmers has been turned from the
delivery of wheat to getting in readiness for
spring work. The result is that on the whole
there is no doubt some little decrease in the
interior marketings At the same time the
country houses belonging to the line COM
panies are delivering little more freely than
terminal stocks, and therefore showing more
rapid decrease than they did during the latter
part of last month and the first of this month

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 27.-on the
subject OF the alleged sinking of the steamer,
Bermuda, by a British cruiser John n Tart
Of the Hart Steamship company, said today:
IL DO not expect to hear any reliable in
formation, regarding the Bermuda, until Sun
Gay and then it will be something vastly
different from the statement that a British
Warship has sent her to the bottom" MT.
Hart's lawyer thinks there has been a mis-
take, and that the American teamer VoIusia,
Of their company, has been sunk bv SnanisS

CINCINNATI, March 27.-Frank Weyler.
of No. 1861 Colerain avenue, is a half-brother
Of Gen. Valerie Weyler, who commands the
Spanish forces in Cuba.
Frank is harnessmaker and corporal of
the First regiment. He is married and has a
wife and five children. In personal appear
ance he resembles his brother, the general.
The last time l saw my brother was in
1855" said Weyler. II have not heard from
him since that time. l believe he has been
to Africa since then. He was always great
man for athletics. He is leader by nature
His mind is quickly made up, and he cannot
be swerved from his path.
"Tney call him Butcher but l don't think
he deserves that opprobrium. He is ordered
to take measures to subdue the Cubans and
the measures he takes are doubtless forced
upon him. He was seventeen years old when
my father and mother married. He was then
studying to be civil engineer, and he did
not stay at home more than a year. He
always said he wanted to go into the army of

ANOTHER CORPORATION.
W. c. Peacock & Co. VIII be a
Ioinf Stock COMPANY.


Joint Stock Company.
1t was learned last night that the
firm of w. c. Peacock & Co., wholesale
liquor dealers on Merchant street, will
be turned into limited liability com
pany on July l, with a capitalization of
100000, half of which will be held by
w. C. and C. a. Peacock.
The firm is one of the best known in
the country, and since it was establish
ed, ten years ago, has been eminently
successful.
The reason for the change, as stated
by the Messrs. Peacock last night, is a
desire on their part to live abroad. The
senior member of the firm has recently
returned from the United States, and
he finds his health is better there than
in Honolulu.
His home at Waikiki is the hand
soonest at the beach, but he has resided
in it only at intervals since it's erection,
spending most of his time in the United
States or Europe.
c. A. Peacock, the junior partner,
came here from Denver about eight
years ago, and resides with his family
in his beautiful residence at the corner
of Lunalilo and Keeaumoku streets. He
will leave for the coast in about a
month for a short trip.
