corresponding wonderful train leaves
the On orth-Western depot in Chicago
Tor St. Paul and Minneapolis.
These two trains are the famous
North Western Limited" trains, and
they hold the proud distinction of being
absolutely the two finest trains in the
world. They are the latest, newest and
most splendid productions Of the car
builders art.
These trains are just recently fresh
from the shops and are new from the
tip of the engines pilot to the rear tail
light on the last coach. They are the
most comfortably equipped and fur
nished trains in America or any other
place, and afford the people of Mime
apolis, ST. Paul and the great north
west the most magnificent service in
travelling to and from Chicago and the
east.
The North Western Limited" leav-
ing Minneapolis and St. Paul tonight
lands the traveller in Milwaukee bright
and early at $50 tomorrow morning,
and in Chicago at o:3o, and the North
Western Limited" leaving Chicago to-
night lands the traveller in St. Paul and
MINNEAPOLIS in time for breakfast to-
morrow morning.
So, over 400 miles are covered luxu-
riously and comfortably while one reads
or smokes an evening away, plays a
game of cards or chess or writes let
fer or two, and then is lulled to sleep
with the rhyme of the rail. There are
no two institutions of which Minneap-
oils and ST. Paul have greater cause to
be proud than these two famous North
Western Limited" trains

It's hard to convey with type, ink and
paper a true picture of these superb
trains to those who have been unfortu-
hate enough never to have inspected
them, let alone to have known the de-
lights of travelling on them To truly
appreciate what great trains these
North Western Limited" trains are,
you must visit them some night as they
stand in the union depot in Minneapolis
OF St. Paul just before they leave for
Chicago and see for yourself what tri-
umphs of art they represent.
Better still, you should experience the
delights of flying over polished rails on
these rolling palaces and you will never
forget the luxurious trip It will re-
main to you as the best railway trip you
ever made

are exceedingly hand
some, all the cars being
of uniform color, a dark,
rich greenish shade, with
plain but elegant decora-
tons in gold. Across the
top of all the sleepers
appears the magic word
"Wagner," while on each
end of each car is the
trains name, North
Western Limited" From
end to end the trains are
vestibuled with broad
plate , glass vestibules,
which are the full width
of the cars. and which
completely enclose the
platforms, adding grace
to its beauty.

The dining-car Illinois is fitted in
beautiful oak, artistically carved, and
plate glass mirrors and upholstery of
light tint that give to the car a most
cheerful appearance. Various inches
and tiny shelves hold vases of pretty
blossoms, which are closely approached
in beauty by the snowy linen, shining
silver, sparkling glass and dainty china.
Next to the last sleeper is handsome
first-class day coach, with high-back
seat, upholstered in dark green plush.
The floor is carpeted in crimson and
the oak woodwork elegantly finished

ever saw or ever rode in And last o.

Such, in vague way, is the makeup
of the new North Western Limited
trains, which must be seen to tell their
own charms and must be ridden on to
be thoroughly appreciated. Both trains
are lighted with Pintsch gas from end
to end, heated with steam from the en-
CINE in the winter and provided with the
latest appliances in air brakes and air
signals to insure absolute safety.
They have no equals-they are In an
arlstocratic class by themselves.
Even the names OF the beautiful sleep
ers bear aristocratic names. For in
stance, the compartment sleepers bear
the names "Rajah" and Regal" the
sixteen-section sleepers "Borneo" and
Bombay" the twelve-section sleepers
Regent" Euclid" Savoy" "Saxony."
However, what is most surprising. is
that instead of passengers having to paw
an increased fare to travel on these
trains, as is enforced on all frst-class
eastern trains, there is nothing extra
charged, and holders of all frst-class
and excursion tickets of whatever kind
are welcome to enjoy the Injuries offered.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins = Compsny's Review
NJ Trade.

Downing, Hopkins q COmpsny's Review
We have witnessed almost an entire
week Of heavy dragging markets with
an undertone of weakness that has been
an entire reversal Of the feeling exhib-
tied heretofore, and prices have daily
declined fractionally with no rally
whatever. The news has also under
gone an entire change, and bear news is
now plentiful in almost every direction.
The statistical situation however is as
strong as ever, but has lost its force as
an argument because foreigners will not
pay any attention to it, and seem to be
utterly Indifferent to the fact that our
visible is now down to "a, 450, 900 BUSH
els, and their purchases are very mod
crate, even at the decline. Last weeks
exports amounted to 1890, 900 bushels,
while receipts in the Northwest have
shown surprisingly large and have been
one of the causes of the decline. Re-
ports from the winter wheat states are
very bright, and harvesting has COM
menced in Texas, Oklahoma and Kan
sas. AS yet there is little to judge by,
but reports say the yield will be very
heavy. Thoman's report last week
estimated the winter and spring wheat
crops would show total yield of $780,
100000 bushels. Cables are coming
weak and lower daily, and it begins to
look as if the bulls were beaten again,
and just at the time when they be-
lieved themselves on the threshold of
seeing their hopes of better prices real
lied. Their position was never stronger
than it is now, and the situation is
such, that should the demand for cash
wheat and -four again show signs OF
reviving, we would see sharp return,
but until this demand does materialize,
there does not seem to be much hope
for better prices. Our visible supply
decreased 2,447,0 900 bushels and the
worlds shipments were 100000
bushels, showing that importing coun-
tries are as yet drawing the greater
portion of needs from other sources.

total length is about fifty-seven feet.

that must be mentioned, for they each
represent the best of their class.
Without doubt the most comfortable
day train that runs from Minneapolis
and ST. Paul to Chicago is the Badger

union depot at 7:3o every morning and
arriving in Chicago before bedtime. 1t

seats and an observation parlor car in
which one can enjoy every comfort for
daylight travelling. This train is fast
one and the traveller is repaid with
charming views of picturesque Wiscon-
sin, the state of lakes and rushing
brooks and rivers.
The Badger State Express" coming

upon it by the rest of the system, it is neces-
