WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

The following letter Is furnished by
Edwards. Wood Commission company,
commission merchants, ITO Chamber
of Commerce, Minneapolis; BIO Board
Of Trade. Duluth.
The wheat market for the past week
has been active and strong, ana the
Minneapolis May wheat made net
gain of 2 cents per bushei. The price
rests upon the broad aud sure founda-
ton of q large and ,steady home ana
foreign demand. Wheat continues to
90 out to Australia from both Amerl-
can coasts, and shipments OF hour
from the Pacific coast to South Africa
are good. Exports for the week were
8. 76I, 600 bushels, but the foreign de-
mand is better shown by sales for ex
port which were very large. Inc
eagerness of foreigners for American
wheat is partially explained by the
closing of navigation of Danubian
ports and the falling off of the exports
of these countries. Our domestic vlsl-
BILE supply gained 3, 211, 600 ,ousnels
for the week but continues to drop un-
der last year s figures. Two weeks ago
| fine difference was Z, 600. 600 bushels, q
week ago 9, 600, 600 bushels, and the
visible supply is now IL, OOO, uUU
bushels under the amount at this time

| in wheat and oats as the receipts OF
corn increased 279. 600 bushels. Re-
ceipts of all grains at primary points
last week were 10, 543, 600 bushels, the

less than the previous week, and ten
per cent under last year. Worlds snip

WATER IN BUTTER.

The report of the department COM
mittee that was appointed to inquire
into the question of water In butter
will occasion no little disappointment
in farming circles. The opinions ex-
pressed by the committee regarding
the sale of inferior or impure butter,
or concoctions sold under the psudonym
of butter. are not by any means what
might have been expected, and if the
preparation and retailing of these is
sanctioned in the manner recommend
ed, it goes without saying that the
position of the genuine article of
high quality will not be improved nor
strengthened in consequence of the in
vestigation referred to. The verdict
arrived at declaring 16 per cent OF
water to be the limit quantity per-
missible in genuine butter seems per-
fectly sound, and presumably will
meet with general approval, but it il
difficult TO understand why the ex
poser of butter containing highe'
percentage should be enabled to evad
prosecution by having recourse to tn
simple and wholly worthless expedien
of making what is vaguely termed
sufficient disclosure of its quality
Still more surprising is the sanction
subject to compliance with simila
simple and Intellectual conditions
which it is advised should be give
for the sale of butter mixtures. :

Reef Market of 1902.

1t looks as if 1902 will. as far as the
beef market is concerned. be similar to
1882. During the last named year cat
tie sold as high as 500. The average
price fer the whole year WAS $6.23. In
1882 corn sold as high as 81 cents in
July Thus it will Ee seen that lSS2
was high year for corn as we'll as cat

2erieEce Of 1882 VII! be repeated just
twenty years later.

st. Paul, March 18.-Neither of the

great heaps of snow under which
their tracks were buried by last

the Northern Pacific office in the

effect that the snow plows working
east and west from Bismarck and
jamestown were in sight of each
other and that it now seemed possi-
bic that trains would be again run
ming tonight. The Great Northern
officials also say that they hope to
have their trains before morning, but
they make no positive promise to that
effect.

Hongkong, March 18.-General Ma
has been defeated by the Kwane reb-
els, who have taken possession of
Ping Chang. They have killed or
captured all the mandarins and have
looted the town. General Ma at
tackled the rebels stronghold, but
after an engagement lasting two days
he was forced to retreat. The rebels
then established their headquarters
at Fangheng. The rebellion is grow

Northern Pacific Strike Ended.

The strike of the Northern Pacific
employees which has been in effect
since last Sunday afternoon was
brought to an end yesterday.
Formal announcement to this effect
was made by the strikers committee
at an early hour last evening.
The announcement followed an in
terview with Assistant Superintend-
ent Law. pI
1t is said that the object of the in
terview was to intercede for the re
instatement of the strikers into the
employ of the company.
Both sides were adverse to giving
out a statement of the settlement,
claiming that the matter had been ad-
justed and it would be as well to,
drop there.
Informally it is believed that the
petition of the men was more partic-
ularly inclined toward strikers who
had families.
1t is understood that what men
have been employed during the trou-
BILE will continue in service so long
as the character of their work war

DENIES He WAS IN THE PLOT
Dotson Has Been Sentenced to Hang
and Governor TooIe Has Already
Refused to Interfere, But Last
Statement, if Corroborated May
Call for Reprieve.

Helena, March 18-There was for
warded today from Deer Lodge to
Governor Toole the first statement
made by Clinton Dotson, now await
ing sentence OF death for two murder
cases in which he has been impli-
Gated 1t is remarkable document.
It's purpose is to secure executive
clemency. In substance, Dotson de-
clares his innocence of both murders.
He asserts positively that the first
murder, that of Eugene Cullinane
on August s, 1899, was committed by
Oliver Benson and Ellis Persinger
alone and that he (Dotson) was N
Helena at the time. The second MUIR
der was that of Oliver Dotson, Dot
sons father, for the plotting of which
Dotson is now to be hanged. Dotson
admits that it was done by the hands
of James Macarthur, alias Fleming,
who was hanged for the crime, Sep
tember g. last. He, however, asserts
that contrary to the evidence at the
trial, he (Dotson) neither formulated
or was party TO the crime. The
conspiracy, he says, was Matched by
Persinger and Macarthur, within the
prison walls.

gress have the power to amend or re-
peal the act without impairing any
contract made under it's authority.
Hanna offered and the senate adopted
three amendments, applying directly
to the acquisition by J. P. Morgan of
the Leyland line of British ships.
They provide that no foreign built
ship shall participate in the proposed
subsidy; that nothing in the act be
construed to prevent American citi-
Zens or corporations holding or pro-
tecting foreign ships ocean carrying
trade, and that no foreign built ship
of any line thus acquired by Ameri-
can citizens shall be admitted here
after to American registry. To pro-
vide for ocean mail service between
the United States and foreign coun-
tries and the common defense, to
promote commerce and encourage
deep sea fisheries. The bill as
passed deals with ocean mail ships
and their subsidies.
The postal subsidy act of 1891 was
amended, to direct the postmaster
general to enter into contracts for
not less than five nor more than Is
years with American citizens for car
rying mails on American steamships
to such foreign points as will be to
promote the postal, commercial and
maritime interests of the United
States mail service on such lines dis
tributed among the Atlantic, Gulf of
Mexico and Pacific ports, and the
contracts to be made with the lowest
reasonable bidder.
Title two of the bill provides for
a general subsidy to be paid.
Title three of the bill directs the
secretary of the treasury to pay to
the owner of documented vessels en-
gagged in deep sea fishing for at least
three months in any one year, So per
gross ton per annum.

Final Vote Stood 43 to 3Severa1 Amendments were Of
fered bot were Voted Down---Mllions of Dollars
for Mail SUBSIDIES

Washington, March 17.-After a
prolonged debate the senate today
passed the ship subsidy bill, the final
vote upon the measure being AZ to
81. Senators Allison and Dolliyer of
Iowa. Spooner and Quarles of Wis
consin, Proctor and Gillingham of
Vermont, republicans, voted against
the final passage of the bill. Senator
McLaurin of South Carolina voted
for the bill. Some amendments to the
bill were adopted, but they were all
agreeable to those in charge of the
measure, the friends of the bill vot-
ing down all other amendments.
With the exception of the amend
ments offered by Allison and ac-
cepted by Frye, limiting time opera
tion in contracts, made under pro-
vision of the bill to July 20, 1920, and
providing the amount of expenditure
under the mail subsidy paragraph
should not at any time exceed $8,000,-
900 annually, none of the amend
ments agreed to materially affected
the bill as it was reported by the
commerce committee. The amend
ments offered by Vest of Missouri
providing for free ships and the ap-
plication of provisions of the anti
trust law to the shipping industry,
were rejected, as was the amendment
proposed by Paterson of Colorado,
providing that no Chinese persons
should be members of the crews of
the subsidized vessels.
Pettus of Alabama offered an
amendment providing that the total
expenditure under the bill should not
exceed $9,OOO,OOO any year. 1t was
adopted in the committee of the
whole, but later in the senate it was
rejected by decisive vote. The
senate agreed to the amendment Of
fered by Spooner, providing that con-
