quarters she admitted, it is alleged, that
she had lifted the articles from the
counter of the store. a search warrant
was quickly secured, and after the pris-
oner had been locked up the detectives
visited her rooms at sol Massachusetts,
Avenue northeast. Mrs. Hunt rented the
rooms week ago, and moved into them
the trunks which the police now hold.
In these trunks was found a great mass
of clothing, including dresses of every de-
scription, furs. silks, and satins. The
police hope to have these goods identi-
fed. 1t is believed that much of the stuff
was stolen, either from stores or fash
ionable dressmakers in this city. The
detectives state Mrs. Hunt formerly
roomed with several dressmakers in the
northwest section.
About a month ago the prisoner, it is
alleged, was detected in the same store
in which she was arrested yesterday
while in the act of taking some small
article from one of the counters. She was
relieved of the article, but pleaded with
the management of the place with the re-
suit that she was permitted to buy the
goods and so free.

A STRONG EXCHANGE
Produce Dealers Have Built Up a
Vigorous Institution.
MARCH REPORTS SHOW GROWTH
The Exchange Has SOlidihed the
business and Made Minne-
apOlis the Center.

The Minneapolis Produce Exchange had
remarkable increase in the volume Of
business during March, and all previous
records for that month were broken by
far. Secretary Mccormick finished COM
piling the figures for March to-day, and
the showing is very gratifying.
During the month the transactions at
the sessions on change were ahead Of
last year in all the different lines. The
predominating interest centers in the
three leading lines, cheese. butter and
eggs.
During March $50 cases of eggs changed
hands, which is a big showing as March is
one of the months in which the egg bust
ness is naturally quiet. Comparison with
cases over the $50 cases traded in at that
time. In cheese the transactions ran to
$50 lbs. and in butter to $3.50 lbs., both
lines showing good gains over last year.
Minneapolis has two strictly commercial
exchanges actively engaged in the promo
ton of trade in certain restricted lines.
They are the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce, and the Produce Exchange.
Although not SO wealthy as the grain
exchange the Minneapolis Produce Ex-
change is the center of the liveliest traf-
tic in the city, and it is growing in i'm
portance. Just as the grain growers when
in the city drift down to the Chamber of
commerce. so the country produce men
find their way to the other end of town
and into the commission district. The
exchange is in the heart of the district.
There are according to the secretary S
, report ffty-eight members of the pro-
duce exchange, comprising only members
OF firms In good standing on the street.
The membership is limited to sixty. Sew
eral Of the larger commission houses in
the district have been in business in
Minneapolis from 20 to rs years, and are
| we'll and favorably known all over the
northwest
Edward F. Hopkins is president of the
produce exchange. Mr.. Hopkins is an
enthusiast and hard worker in the in
terests of the exchange. Mr. Hopkins
| said to-day:
Many people do not realize the importance
of the produce trade to Minneapolis. We have
to-day the greatest fruit and produce center
| north and west of Chicago. The business has
beeen concentrated. and there are forty-hve
! firms in-produce. or lines allied to produce
| now doing business in this center. The bust
ness has outgrown it's confines and spread
| into the adjoining streets, and some of the
| firms are doing business in quarters scarcely
| large enough. Tile latest DEVELOPMENT ha:
| been the coming to this center of the Swift
and Armour packing companies, and the cree
| ton of their new cold storage buildings OF
Fifth street. III my opinion there is won
derful growth to come, and a few years will
! see the commission district spread far beyond
| its present limits.

into the ear OF the store and deposited
