The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards. Wood & Co.. Grain
Commission Brokers, 8 Chamber Of
Commerce. Minneapolis, $40 Board of
Trade. Duluth:
Dec. last weeks grain market
was quiet and steady until on Friday,
when ar advance began. which has
reached &c per bushel for wheat; 4 3-8c
per bushel fo- Chicago corn; 3 7-8c for
Chicago oats.
The news for the week was the same
as 1t has been: Large primary receipts
of wheat with good cash demand;
small receipts Of coarse grains. with a
large demand and advancing prices;
continued dry weather in the South
west. The advance Is based on large
buying by the country, continued
drought in the Southwest, and higher
cables. There was q decrease in re-
ceipts m Monday and Tuesday Of this
week. with a decrease Of nearly 5000, 900
bushels in the amount on ocean pass
age, and small deliveries on December
contracts have also helped. An in
crease Of $500, 900 bushels in the worlds
visible supply la been ignored. This
week wheat has shown great strength,
Independent Of corn. and has led the
advance. Western primary receipts OF
wheat were about 1000. 900 bushels for
the week. Exports were Silt, 900 BUSH
els. According to Bradstreet, the worlds
visible supply Of wheat has increased
22,125,000 bushels In the last three
weeks. Primary receipts from July 1
to Nov. Is. aggregated IA, 0o0, 900 bush
els. and exports for the same time were
12S.000,CO0 bushels. Exports OF corn
since July l are but 10, 250. 900 bushels.
compared with "a. 333. 900 bushels for the
same period last year Receipts OF corn
are very small. The steady advance in
price signally justiies all predictions
made In these letters during the past
month. Minneapolis May wheat is now
quoted at rs 5-Sc: May fax, $1.44 L.:
Chicago May corn and oats, e8 IL and
46c, respectively. We think wheat high
enough for the present. Advise pur-
chases on any material decline.

The Meneleys.

The Meneley concert last Mon
day evening was one of the clean
est and most enjoyable entertain
ments that has been presented
in Milbapk for a long time. One
of the particularly interesting g
features Of the entertainm ent
was the character presentations
Of Mr.. Knox. With so much
poor work in this line given to
the public it was refreshing to
see this man, who is an artist as
an impersonator, and he simply
carried the audience with him in
all Of his work. AS a popular
musical mbination we believe
the company is without peer at
the present time, though the
purpose of their present tour is
to forward the third party pro
hibitionist cause
