MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Stronger in Sympathy With Condi-
tiOns at Duluth.

The strong position of May wheat at Du-
luth was feature of the market yesterday.
Clearances were light. Trade, on the whole,
was of small proportions and the fluctuations
were made slowly. The Chicago advices in
dicated that some one in the Northwest was
sending good deal of bull news from this
section, concerning, principally, the sad ef-
fects to follow the late seeding The cash
wheat market was trife easy this morning.
Thursday there were some pretty heavy sales
of wheat in store here at &c over May price.
and yesterday morning some of the terminal
houses followed the market UP to get rid of
still more on that basis but the millers ap-
peared to have bought enough at that price,
and placed the bid price on the basis of the
values ruling for July wheat, which were
little under &c over the May prices. This
placed the two sides somewhat apart, al
could have been bought while, on the other
hand, at July price large quantities could
have been sold. Receipts of wheat were 1873
cars. Shipments of wheat were % cars. Du-
luth receipts of wheat were 159 cars. Flour

BOTTOM.
WORLD OF STOCK SPECULATION.
hhe Prevailing Sentiment Under
Conditions Now Current Is One
of Great Hopefulness.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Bradstreet's tomor-
Pow will say: The feeling is more hopeful at
many trade centers, owing to continued i'm
provement of demand in retail lines, better
weather, generally favorable crop prospects,
the activity which naturally follows renewed
building operations, distribution of imple
ments and farm supplies, and attendant ac-
tivity. More favorable reports come from
commercial travellers, especially those repre-
senting Pittsburg st. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha and Milwaukee houses. Moderate i'm
proyement is shown at a few other Western
centers, but at most OF the larger dstribut-
ing points throughout the country the move
ment Of merchandise on the whole. shows no
material change. AT almost all cities mercan-
tile collections continue slow, remaining rela-
lively the most unfavorable feature Of busi-
ness even where the tendency in other direc-
tions is toward improvement. Exports of
wheat (lour included as wheaD from both
coasts of the United States this week are the
smallest since the third week in July, 1895,
and, with that exception, the smallest in any
week during the past six years, amounting to
only 1,2S6.O00 bushels, compared with 2,O17 600
bushels. last week, 2,431,O 900 bushels in the
week one year ago, 600 bushels two years
ago, and with 2,5O7, 900 bushels in the CORE
spending week of 1898.
There were 240 business failures reported
throughout the United States this week, COM
pared with 244 last week, 223 in the CORE
spending week one year ago, POI two years ago
and as contrasted with 1856 in the like week of
1898.

Sugar shaded off a fraction early rallied
Us, but late in the day food Of sales de-
pressed the price to 121A. Tobacco was
prominent early, and, on large purchases,
rose to 70. A partial recession followed
which late in the day received momentum
through free selling by insiders, and the
price fell to 70A. The closing was at ral-
ly OF about a point from the low level The
market as whole moved irregularly, but
the tone was comparatively firm. The raid
on Sugar and Tobacco in the late trading

Great Sales of Lands.

To the Editor Of the Globe
P. B. Groat, secretary of the state board
OF immigration, Is authority for the state
ment that during the months of January and
February, 1896, the Northern Pacific sold 49,
900 acres of land, the ST Paul G Duluth 70 900
and the Great Northern 5000, or a total of
$4,000 acres in the two months. On inquiry
at the land office of the Northern Pacific
learned that nearly all of the land sold went
into the hands of actual settlers, and prob
ably the same can be said of the sales of the
other two roads. Can anything better illus
trate the wisdom that directed the organiza-
ton Of the board of immigration than these
hgures and facts? In times of depression
men flock to the cities in search Of work and
the supply exceeds the demand Thus,
large body Of men are necessarily idle. These
sales indicate, to my mind, very clearly, that
the current has set in the opposite direction
and that men from the cities are seeking
homes on farms of theif own, and lust so
long as the cities are being depleted of those
men, who cannot find employment and the
number Of farms is being increased in the
same proportion, so much the better for both
cities and states. All Of these farmers should
not engage in raising wheat or the cultiva-
tion of potatoes. Let their industries be
varied. If their potato, corn, or other crops
are abundant, so that a good price cannot
be obtained, they should have stock to which
to feed it, and thus be able to get money for
their products by having fat stock for the
market. 1t is said that millions Of bushels
of potatoes were left in the ground in North
Dakota, for the reason that the price OBJ
tained would not pay for digging. How many
hogs and steers would these wasted bush
els have fattened for the market? Let the
farmer diversity his industries, and in the
end he will find market in some form or
another, for all he can produce.
-R. w. Johnson.
