During the Storm.
Special TO the Globe
BRAINERD, Mimi, Feb. ia terrific
snow storm has been in progress here
all day, fully a foot fsnoW having
fallen. The wind is blowing quite
fiercely, piling the snow in huge
drifts. 1t is very damp and heavy,
greatly retarding travel. Lumbermen
report four feet of snow in the woods
on a level, making numbering opera
tions we'll nigh impossible.

KELLY CONFEssEs.
The Murderer of Cashier Stickney
Admits His Guilt

MONTREAL, April 20-Joseph E.
Kelly confessed today to the murder of
Cashier Stickney, at SomersWorth, n.
H He admitted that he committed
both the murder and the robbery, and
says he had no accomplices. He
vehemently insisted, however, that he
had had no intention of killing the
cashier, but that he had to do it be-
cause the old gentleman recognized
him. After telling Mr.. Stickney with
blows on the head when the cashier
showed signs of regaining conscious
ness, he slashed him with knife.
When Kelly arose this morning, he
sent for Detective Cote and at once
asked him If he did not think it would
be. better for him to tell exactly all he
knew. Then Kelly sent for Chief Car
penter and made a confession to him
that he alone committed the murder
and that he had hidden the remainder
of the money at st. Clet, near Justine
de Newton.
The chief then decided to go and find
the money, and started off with his
prisoner early this morning. In talk
ing to Cote and some other detective,
Kelly told a great many strange incl
dents about his trip. Among other
things lie intimated that ne had stolen
the clothes with which he was dis
guised from an old woman.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 2O-It was different
this morning. Yesterday morning every
body wanted to buy wheat regardless of
price; this morning the majority wanted to
SELL but not so recklessly. The gradual
simmering down yesterday to about the
usual subdued nervousness continued over
night and, on receipt of rather discourage
ing cables, this morning the trade gener-
ally felt that they were too hasty yesterday
and were willing to surrender the advanced
ground taken yesterday, and by II a. M.
May wheat was 11&c under Saturdays close.
First cables quoted Liverpool at 3s4c higher
per Genital than at Thursdays close This
was a full cent short of our net gain I'D
to last night, and indicated that they were
not so much scared over war news as on
this side. second cable quoted 1b61d de-
cline in Liverpool for May wheat. The
worlds shipments too, were larger for the
week than expected, being 100000 bu
against 3, 1913, COO blu the week previous. Rus
sian shipments aggregated 2,760 600 blu, and
those from the Danube 344 600 bu The
total amount of wheat on passage is now
only 16,720,00O bu. The official report of the
crop in India estimates the yield at 4300 600
quarters less than IN 1896 and 10, SOC 600
quarters less than in 1895, and that a de-
lnand for California wheat for India is re-
newed. Berlin cables quoted wheat at 3A
G93A marks higher tran yesterday, but ac-
tuaily 81 marks lower than on Saturday

Opening prices for wheat were nearly &c
lower than the close Monday. The longs who
failed to reahze were heavy and aggressive
sellers The market was steady in COM
parison with the markets Of the last few
days, the range being within &c. Liverpool
cables came in sgd higher, which was the
first we have received from the other side
since Thursday. This was in sympathy with
our advance. Later cables declined 112d. Our
market lost nearly cent from the opening,
and towards the close regained all of the
loss on reports of so loads being worked from
New York. The news of the day continued
bullish. A large decrease in the world S Wis
ible is estimated by Bradstreets, which was
2948, 600 blu, and a splendid cash demand eX-
listing in all markets. In our letter Of yester-
day we advised the taking of profits and re-
investing on a good break. We think that we
have now had this break and the situation is
certainly very strong. Therefore we advise
purchases at present prices or on any further
break.

CROP BULLETINS.

The Minnesota weekly crop report
issued yesterday sets forth:
general snow storm on the 18TH
delayed work, but drying weather since
then has dried out the soil rapidly
except near water courses. The flood
of the Red river is receding rapidly
in its upper half and increasing to-
ward it's mouth. In the northern sec
ton some wheat has been soWn In
most favorable places and some Is
sprouted Rye is looking well. In
other sections the progress of seeding
has varied according to the quality of
the soil. In the counties with light
soil drying has been more rapid, and
in those wheat seeding is we'll ad-
vanced. In the regions Of heavier soil
the seeding has been delayed by wet
soil, so that little or none has been
put In. The fact that the season is
probably ten days later than usual
has tempted many farmers to sow
their seed in land too wet 1t was
expected that wheat seeding would
become general on the 18th, but it is
possible that Sundays sudden cold
snap may cause a further, though
slight, delay. A little barley and some
oats have been sown in southern coun-
ties. Roads are in a very bad condi-
ton in many sections. The lakes OF
the state nearly all became clear of ice
about the 18th. In sections of the
southeast winter grains have not win
tered well. Warm, drying weather, to
put the soil in good condition and
start the pastures and hay, is much
needed.
NORTH DAKOTA.
Special to the Globe
BISMARCK, N. D., April 2O-The
first regular crop bulletin, issued to-
day. says: with this number the
crop bulletin for North Dakota for the
season of 1897 begins, and under more
favorable circumstances than was an
ticipated the first Of the present month.
At that time the ground was entirely
covered with snow in all parts of the
state, and prospects Of farm work be-
ing done early, were very poor. The
weather, however, changed about the
first week and the snow melted very
rapidly, and, as the ground was not
frozen to any extent, the most Of the
water was absorbed. In the western
part of the state, as well as in the CEN
trail portion, the surface of the ground
soon dried so that considerable work
and some seeding has been done, but
In the eastern portion where the land
is generally low, but little has been
done. With a continuance of the pres
ent weather, a great deal Of work will
be done the present week.
