These figures indicate gain of 375
cents at Minneapolis; SIS cents at Chi
cago; AZ cents at Duluth; 31A cents at
st. Louis, and 43s cents at New York
But, in the excitement of dealing, the
price of May touched 109 in Chicago
and 50 in Minneapolis on last Satur-
day, thus scoring a temporary gain Of
111s cents at the former and 45s cents at
the latter point during the week.
This condition of things was simply
the realization of predictions by the
most conservative judges ever since the
closing of the December option The
real situation with respect to the mar
keting of the last crop has been so
patent to every one who has taken
the trouble to watch and compare the
figures provided in the statistical esti-
mates and the record Of receipts and
exports, that it seems incredible that
bear should have remained so Witless
or so giddy in his own conceit as to
venture to nuZZle in the precints of
the wheat pie.
1t has been apparent, certainly since
the beginning of December, that Mr..
Letter, or the clique of which he is the
recognized head, had become possessed
of pretty much all the contract wheat
then available, and that this plan or
campaign would be pursued from the
basis OF the advantage already gained.

Of leading to the growth of the belief

the thresher progressed than was es-
timated at the period the grain was
ripening for the harvest. The knOWl-
edge is now being forced upon the
minds of traders that the high prices
and the persistent work of buyers in
all the Northwest territory were re-
spcnsible for TIE maintenance Of heavy
receipts; that the wheat was not left
to market itself without solicitation, as
is usually the case, and that the mid
die OF February finds the great ele-
vatOr systems practically destitute of
holdings, with the grip of a single ele-
ment stern'y controlling the disposition
of everything in sight.

The services at the Plymouth Con-
gregational church last evening were in
keeping with the innovation which has
been recently instituted at the Sunday
evening services there.
Last evening w. S. Pattee, LII. D.,
dean of the University of Minnesota
law school, delivered the first of a Sc
ries of Lay Sermons" to be given in
connection with the evening services
of the church.
The Plymouth Young Mems Sunday
Evening club, recently organized with
a view to enlivening the evening serv-
ices, is responsible for the new de-
partuTe.
Dean Pattee discussed the Royal
Law" giving a most practical and in
teresting address. He said in part:
In the selection of my topic I took
a subject which most interested me as
a young man, as [ understood it was to
young men that [ was to speak. The
answer to the question is life worth
living depends upon what a man is.
There is a pinnacle in a range of
mountains in this country, upon which
is balanced a rock formation. When
| viewed from another point it looks like
preston of the profile of a man, while
viewed from another point, looks like
a beast. SO it is with the life of man.
IF we view him as a materialist, his
destiny is the coffin, but. if we look
upon him as a creation of God with
divine nature, he scars freely in the
higher realms before us. I shall argue
that man is a heavenly spirit in the
image of God. The materialist is bound
down by the necessity of things, while.
if he is a spirit. he is a free man. If
this is not so, what is there at the end
Of life to warrant the struggle.
