MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS. April 9-The local wheat

day at Chicago and New York. First price

close weakened Immediately, lost &c. and
ruled rather quiet but steady up to md-ses-
sion. The news of the day was rather meager
as to commercial matters Commercial gossp
was meager fer the reason that all European
markets are closed.
The character of the trading today was
generally of the evening up sort. This Is
usual a Saturday, but it was more pro-
nounced today pending political developments.

Diplomatic circles in Washington
We're keenly interested in the change
brought about by SPANS grant of an
armistice. The ambassadors and min
listers exchanged calls and there was a
general exchange Of congratulations as
it was felt that the armistice at least
gave time for calmer counsels. The
French ambassador, NJ. Cambon, re-
ceived a cable dispatch from the for
eign office ait Paris informing him that
the ar1nistice had been granted and
was wholly without conditions Be

the negotiations, the French ambassa-
dor and the French government have
taken leading part in averting an
open rupture between the United States
and Spain.
While the British government has
been most active in seeing that the
action of the powers did not assume a
menacing attitude toward the United
States, yet it is known that Great Brit
ain joins with the other powers in ap-
proving the latest movement of an ar
mlstlce, and is hopeful that this will
clear the way for a fuller settlement

shine and showers, ana third noble
magenta forest is carefully raised on
the top of the second. And so on.
Forest was planted above forest and
destroyed, as if Nature were ever re-
penting and undoing the work she had
so induStriOuSly done. But, of course
this destruction was creation, progress
in the march of beauty through death.
The Glacial Winter.
After the forest times and fire times
had passed away, and the volcanic fur
naces were banked and held in abey-
ance, another great change occurred in
the history of the park. p, The glacial
winter came on. The sky was again
darkened, not with dust and ashes, but
with snow flowers which fell in glorious,
abundance, piling deeper, deeper Slip
ping from the overladena heights In
booming avalanches suggestive of their
growing power. Competing into glac-
ierS, they flowed forth, meeting and
welding into a ponderous, ice-mantle
that covered all the landscape perhaps
a mile deep; wiping off forests, grind
ing, sculpturing, fashioning the COM
paratiVely featurelesS lava beds into
the beautiful rhythm of hill and dale
and ranges of mountains we behold to-
day; forming basins for lakes, channels
lOI SlIedIIlS, new SOllS IOI gar
dens, and meadows. While this ice
work was going on, the slumberng VOL
canic fires were boiling the subterra-
mean waters, and with curious chemis-
try decomposing the rocks, making
beauty in the darkness; these forces,
seemingly antagOnistic, working har-
moniously together. How wild their
meetings on the surface were we may
imagine. When the glacier period be-
gan, geysers and hot springs were play
ing in grander volume, it may be. than
those of today. The glaciers flowed
over while they spouted and Numbered
carrying away their fine sinter and
travertine structures, and shortening
their mysterious channels.
The glacial winter has passed away
like the ancient summers and fire
periods though in the chronology of
the geologist all these times are recent.
Only small residual glaciers on the cool
northern slopes of the highest noun
tains are left of the vast all-embrac-
ing ice-mantle, as solfataras and gey-
sers are all that are left of the ancient
volcanoes.
Perhaps you have already said that
you have seen enough for, a lifetime.
! But before you go away you should
spend at least one day and a night on
a mountain top, for a last general
| calming, settling view. Mount WASH
| burn is good one for the purpose. be-
| cause it stands in the middle of the
| park is unincunbered with other peaks
and is so easy of access that the climb
| to its summit is only a saunter.

NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Operators in stocks
maintained a strictly waiting attitude today.
The extreme variation in prices reached a
point or over in good many stocks. and the
market took on some show of animation in
the first hour the upward movement, but
the purely fictitious character of this ad-
vance was demonstrated by the relapse in
the second hour.
The days net changes are hardly percepti-
BILE in many cases and show an indiscriminate
mixture of gains and losses.
The market without any more signifi-
canoe than yesterday. Total sales of all
stocks were less than 100000 shares. The fact
that the London exchange was closed left
New York without initiative from that quar-
ter. London operators were apparently not
eager to avail themselves of the opportunity
Of trading on the New York exchange and
orders by cable were of small amount, though
they were sufficient to aid the first hours
advance. In spite of the inactivity of the
market, further gold to the amount Of
$4,000 engaged for imoprt today.
Total sales of stocks today were 1920

Op FOss in minneapolis, Direct
From India and the Orient

The Minneapolis salvage corps spent
good part of yesterday in taking care
of the goods at the Economy depart
ment store, which was visited by fire
late Saturday night. For hours after
the firemen left there was a steady
dripping of water through the floors
and ceilings. The tarpaulins were
kept on the contents of the store until
there was no further danger of water
doing any damage. This required
much extra work Yesterday, but the re-
suit of the labors Of thtl insurance men
is apparent in the Small loss sustained
on the first three floors in spite of the
great quantity of water which had to
be poured on the blaze. The work of
both firemen and salvage corps was
highly praised by all who witnessed
what they did.
Exact figures as to the damage sus-
tanned were not obtainable yesterday,
and cannot be given until the entire
stock is inventoried. However, the
the loss may fall below $4,000, as the
stock escaped much damage as a whole
aside from the furniture department
The origin of the fire still remains a
mystery. ...-

as the famous comedian himself AS
