THE FLOUR MARKET.
General Condition of Trade During the
Week.


Week.
Minneapolis, Mimi, April 29.-The
OUTPUT this week is estimated at $780,
900 barrels fuctuating wheat last week
made it difficult to sell flour. Sales
approximated 100000 barrels. The do
mestic trade had taken considerably
flour and was prepared to hold back
and allow matters to take their course,
owing to the possibility of higher pri-
ces being treated rather indifferently.
Some mills were fortunate enough to
sell as much flour as they ground, but
there was more that did not do this
and with which business was pretty
slow. Those able to make any con-
siderable sales were the exception, for
eigners keeping well out of the mar
ket. A few round lots of clears were
placed on the continent early in the
week and mills which formerly had a
surplus of this grade are now III
quite. easy shape as orders. Whlle
wheat was advancing shipping dlrec-
lions came in freely; but with declines
the reverse is the case. On the au>
vance of Friday and Saturday hour
prices were marked up somewhat, put
Tuesday they were shade easier
than a week ago. Export shipments
were $500 barrels against 5S,4OO week
before; 65, 800 in 1896 and 4S,7OO in 1895.
With considerable export demand Tor
bran and shorts, prices have firmed up
materially.
Observation-Disclosures mills were 60
ing Monday and the output this week
promised to be considerable larger
The mills last week sold fair amount
of flour but less than in precedlns
weeks. The business done was chiefy
domestic foreign usually being toe
low. Export shipments were l5'4OC
barrels against 1880 week before and
20 600 in 1896. Stocks of flour Saturday
were $4,000 barrels against 21S'OOo 9
year ago. Feed was steady with gooo
inquiry and supply of bran limited.

DISCOVERY.

The invention of DR.. r. v Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. ",
has, during the past thirty years, made
record in the cure of bronchial throat and
lung diseases that fairly entities II to out
rank all other advertised remedies for these
affections. Especially has il manifested its
potency in curing consumption ofthe lungs.
Not every case, but we believe
Fully % Per Cent.
of all cases of consumption, In all Its earlier
stages, are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expeetoration (inciud-
ing tubercular matter) great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease : You need not take
our word for it, They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever In mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly preiudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal nlalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy 'emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed TO bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced In book Of 1000 pages
which will be mailed to you. on receipt of adj
dress and Al cents in stamps to cover post
age and wrapping only You can then write
those cured and learn their experience.

J. r.. Sovereign.

AS previously announced the above
named gentleman addressed our citizens
at the court house last Saturday night,
under the auspices of Van Buren, lodge
Patriots of America. The audience
was small, but what it lacked in size
was made up in appropriateness.
Mr.. Sovereign is fluent speaker and
rounds off his arguments well and is
thoroughly posted on the subjects on
which he speaks. He spoke of the late
campaign, paid glowing tribute to
VIM. j Bryan and urged organization
of the producing classes as the only
salvation of this country from plutocracy
on one side and virtual slavery on the
other, and gave some trite anecdotes to
show what organization could and
would do. He urged every man who
had the good of his country at heart to
join the Patriots of America-a non
partisan organization-whos object is
to discuss measures of public veal and
get themselves to understand them with
view to voting intelligently.
What appeared very strange to us was
that there should be so few of those
present who Mr.. Sovereign most
especially represents-the laboring
people. 1t is true Mr.. Sovereign may
represent different order of organized
labor from that to which most of them
may belong, yet in the end their objects
are the same-the improvement of the
condition of the wage earner-and it
appears to MS that this time would have
been a good occasion for them to have
shown theil adherence to the cause of
Lob
audience.
We hope Mr.. Sovereign may again be
induced to come to our city and that he
will then have no occasion to speak to
vacant space as he remarked oatur-
day.
Mr.. Sovereign was ON his way to
Little Rock to cast his vote as
presidential elector for W. j. Bryan.

Bishop Paret Home Again.

Right Rev. William Paret, Bishop Of
Maryland, returned Tuesday from six
weeks visit to Jamaica, where he has been
resting near Moneague, small town in
the interior. The death of Mrs. Paret
wife of the Bishop, which occurred in Jan
uary, together with an attack of the grip,
Frustrated DR.. Paret, and he decided on
trip to the island.
He sailed from New York February 13th
and six days later arrived at Kingston.
After remaining some days in that city,
where he was overwhelmed with invita-
tions to visit friends and acquaintance,
he went to Moneague. Tuesday morning
he arrived 10 New York on the Atlas Line
steamer Altai and Immediately came to
Baltimore, arriving at the episcopal resi-
dence, I'LL Madison avenue, in time for
dinner.
The Baltimore San says: Dr. Paret looks
the picture of health, being sunburncd as
brown as native of the island. Speak
ing of his visit last night he said:
"On arriving at Kingston found it very
hot and dusty, and concluded in a few
days that it would have been better to have
remained at home than to be compelled to
put up with the dirt. A trip further in
land was suggested, and found delight
full little hotel near Moneague, where
everything was as comfortable and as
beautiful as could be desired.
ITO get from that point from Kingston
two ways were open, one by railroad and
the other by carriages, drawn by mules
and horses. l took the latter way, for
which am quite thankful now, as would
have missed much of the beautiful scenery
had travelled in the cars.
Il was favorably impressed with what l
saw of the country and would have liked
to extend my visit, but since went there
to rest, l remained at the quietest place l
found.
Kingston, as we all Know, is the prin-
cipal port and capital of the island. 1t is
built after the usual style of Spanish cities
and from a b;rd's-eye view looks like a
| checker-b board. The houses are of frame
and are surrounded by gardens of tropical
| flowers, plants and fruit trees, on the out
side of which is usually brick wall, in
stead of fence.
| There is a scarcity of sidewalks and
the streets are macadamized and very dus
ty. The climate is tropical, the thermom
eter seldom descending below 100, and
during the few days l was there it was
