MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 3-he local wheat
market opened higher this morning but
little nervous The moderate reaction of
yesterday had the effect of holding prices
at a trine higher level this morning. The
trading was moderately active during the
early part OF the session, but quieted down
into duIlness; became more active on
weakness developing and by 1880 a. m. the
early Improvement was lost. There was a
marked narrowing of all speculation. Con-
eervative dealers and operators have gradu-
ally withdrawn from the market, waiting
for more positive general information and
more rational markets The news of the
pzist few days has been at such variance
with thaa which was furnished a week or
ten days ago that there are many holding
aloof from the market The character of the
trading up to noon was of the scalping or
der and the changing of the trader from
September TO December and May-chtefiy De-
cember. Crop conditions and estimates of
the final yield are again to the fore. The
following viii be Of interest to the trade:

RULING AGAINST LUETGERT.
State Not Compelled to Specify the
Manner of Death,

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Three witnesses
were placed on the stand by the prose-
cution in the Luetgert trial today.
Probably the most important of the
three was Frank Bialk, night watch
man at the Luetgert sausage factory.
Bialk, who is a German, sixty-four
years old was a trusted employee of
the defendant for whom he worked
several years His testimony, which he
gave in German, bore directly on the
movements of the defendant during the
night of May l. He also related how
two barrels, which it is alleged con-
tanned caustic potash. We're stored on
one of the upper floors of the factory,
and were, shortly before May 1, taken
to the basement, where the barrels were
emptied into the vat and dissolved by
steam. The other witnesses were
Charles P Melander a photographer,
who identified several views of the
Luetgert factory, and Mrs. Agatha
Tosch the wife of a saloonkeeper.
Mrs Tosch was frequently in charge
of her husbands saloon and had sew
eral conversations with Luetgert re-
garding the disappearance OF his wire.
She has been regarded as one OF the
states strongest witnesses, being one OF
the few who saw smoke issuing from
the factory the night Mrs. Luetgert
disappeared She swore that Luetgert
had urged her not to say anything
about the smoke, as it might get MN
in trouble Witness detailed how Luet-
CERT had recited his domestic unhapp1-
ness and had told her of the contempt
with which he had regarded ms "lLe.
He had, she said, told her lnal ms
feelings against his wife were SO DIT
ter that he could crush her. witness
also told Of how pale Luetgert was on
Mav . and on one occasion had told
her that he felt like killing himself
and would do so if it were not for leav-
ing his little children.
Before the taking of testimony began
today, attorneys for the defense asked
the court to compel the state TO set
forth by what means, according to the
theory of the prosecution, the life of
Mrs. Luetgert was taken before her
body was placed in the vat. The indict-
ment contained twelve counts, but did
not state the manner of Mrs. Luetgert's
death The court decided that the state
was not bound to specify the means of
death. Waterman Bialk will resume
the witness stand tomorrow.

MALT TRUST A GO.
Preferred Stock to the Amount of
Fifteen Millions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-The World
says: The last man who is to be taken
into the American Mating company
signified his intention last night of
accepting the terms offered him by
the promoters of this new enterprise.
Within short time stocks of this or
SANITATION will be listed on the stock
exchange. The amount of money in
volyed is enormous Not less than
Sic. 900 of preferred stock is to be
issued at once The amount of common
stock has not yet been determined
upon. 1t will probably amount to many
millions more In forming the Ameri-
can Mating company the promoters
decided to take in those who were
already financially strong. This limited
the number Of the companies that were
invited to preliminary meetings to
about twenty-five of the principal malt
sters of New York, Chicago, Buffalo,
Syracuse, Detroit, Milwaukee and other
cities. The promoters, Moore and
Schley, sent an agent through the
country to see the rlaltsters, and the
result was the appointment of the COM
mittee Of the manufacturers themselves
to appraise the value of the different
nIants and arrive at a satisfactory
arrangement with the individual malt
sters. The committee was so success
full In the negotiations that week
ago a meeting of the maltsters was
called to be held in the Manhattan ho-
tel. The deal was closed last night.
