THE CITY OF ZION

IN the fall of 80 a certain John
Alexander Dowie had, for some time,
been making more or less of a sensa-
tion, in and around Chicago. as a
"Divine healer" He had gathered
around him a number of followers,
and, in 1896. had organized the Chris
tian Catholic church. He and his wife
conducted Divine healing home" on
Michigan avenue, and so large had his
congregations grown that he had for
some time been holding services in
the Auditorium.

overseer Of the Christian Catholic
church was planning much larger
things than he had hitherto attempted.

Zion City is theocracy and John
Alexander Dowie is It's prophet. His
position is somewhat similar to that
of Brigham Young among the Nor
mons, but the religion Of Zion differ
radically from that of the Mormons,
in that it contains nothing that is at
variance with the general conception
of good morals. Indeed, whatever
may be thought of the marvellous
cures which it so plentifully records,
no one can read copy of the Leaves
Of Healing" without being impressed
by its high standard of morality.

weekly rIarket Letter.

The following weekly market let
ter was received today from Edwards,
Wood & Co., grain commission mer-
chants Of ST. Paul and Duluth.
The price of wheat continues to
move steadily upward. The advance
is not unexpected as W. have been
talking higher prices for wheat for
several weeks past. No doubt ii will
go much higher. We anticipated
some reaction but it now appears
probable that there will not be much,
| if any, until after May wheat has
advanced several cents more. This
upward movement is not attended
with any excitement and is based on
the legitimate demand for shipment
and for export. The condition of
winter wheat throughout Europe,
and especially in Russia, occasions
some alarm In Russia it's condition
is said to be worse than it has been
for ten years. The markets of Liver
pool, London, Antwerp and Paris
have all steadily advanced. The
worlds available supply decreased
about 3,650,OOO bushels last week fol-
lowing a decrease of about the same
amount for the preceding week.
Worlds wheat shipments for last
week We're $4,000 bushels of which
amount America supplied 5000 bush
els. Very large sales for export have
been made this week. We think that
both May wheat and corn should sell
higher and that both should be
bought at the present level of prices.
Yours truly,
EDWARDS, WooD & COMPANY.
