Sorrow because of the death of ex-
Congressman Boutelle is not confined to
the city of his residence Lor to his native
State. His public life gave him a very
wide acquaintance and wherever known
he was loved and admired for his high
integrity, honest purpose and superior
ability. He was stricken down by
disease in the hight of his usefulness
and mature manhood when he was a
power in Congress and in the councils of
the State and nation. His course dur
ing the long period of his congressional
service was conspicuously able, honor
able and valuable to the country. Mr..
Boutelle was a man of strong convictions
and he never lacked the courage to main
tain them under all circumstances and
against all antagonists. He was firm in
his adherence to the principles and
policies he believed to be correct,
thoroughly honest and upright in all the
relations of life, and remarkably strong
with the constituency he so long re-
presented at Washington. He WAS an
honor to his State and the nation.

At II o'clock Saturday, occurred a
total eclipse of the sun, the centre of
the path being at the East Indies and
the time during which the sun was
obscured at this point was six minutes
and q seconds. Astronomers from
many countries were sent in naval yes
sells by their governments at great ex-
pense to observe this, one of the longest
eclipses of the century. Thirteen as
tronomers composing the United States
expedition have travelled half way round
the world to avail themselves of these
few minutes of intervention of the moon
between tho sun and the earth. A cable
message announces the successful obser
vatons of the party, four photographs
being obtained. The results of this
expedition will be of much interest and

the result of wet weather for shipping and
a scarcity Of offerings outweighed bearish
influences on the Board of Trade to-day
and December corn closed sake higher.
wheat sc advanced and oats &c up. Pro-
visions closed unchanged to 214d5c lower.
Corn was given an impetus at the open
ing by improved Liverpool cables. and De-
cember opened unchanged to Ease higher,
at 571kc to 572td577sc. Wet weather in the
West prevented free movement of crops
and advanced Western prices. On small
receipts shorts began TO cover, soon send
ing December to 5Sc. Advices indicated q
poor average in quality and a quantity
being fed to stock from the shock. There
was a fair Improvement in the shipping
demand and some news Of lots taken for
export. Trade in the May delivery was
prominent December closed firm and go
nc higher. at 577sa5sc. Receipts were 80
cars.
Wheat in the main had an easy feeling
on numerous bearish influences, but, sup
ported by corn, held we'll throughout the
day. December opened a shade lower to a
shade higher, at 7Oasc to 7O12c, on weaker
cables. TO-dayS clearanceS were small,
but on the corn bulge December advanced
quietly to 70S44707sc, closing that figure
firm and sc higher. Local receipts were
100 cars, none of contract grade. Minneap-
oils and Duluth reported OILS cars, a total of
623 cars, against 6SS last week and $50 a
year ago. Primary receipts were 1,109, COG
bushels, compared with $4,000 year ago.
Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour
were 70l,000 bushels. The seabOard reported
nine loads taken for export.
