MINI EAPOLIS.
Minneapolis

Minneapolis - 1t was a scaIping mar
ket IN wheat prices dragging along to
noon in very narrow range. About the
only thing savoring of bull news to come
was cablegram from Argentina to the
effect that the weather there is turning
more unsettled. This was of later origin
tnan cablegram from London repeating
the Argentina advices. This report to
London, which was cabled across for the
opening, was of favorable weather and
good harvesting condition. The effect
OF the later report limiting at the prOba-
bility OF an unfavorable turn, was to make
the first unfavorable report from Argen-
tina might be a signal for a squirt in pric-
es Minneapolis May was TAX 6D74%c at
the opening, and sold off to 74hc, but
was firm later at 7458c MINNEAPOLIS had
III cars, against 491 last year and Du-
luth IS, against 81 At primary points
TI rec We're 4S3, 900 bu, against sos, 600
against 1877, 600. Wheat and -four clear
ances equaled 1856. 900 bu.
The Modern Miller says some reports
or damage to winter wheat by freezing
are being received from sections where
wheat is not protected by snow, but there
IS no cause for any apprehension yet.
The condition of the crop in general ap-
pears to be excellent. Farmers are sell
ing wheat steadily when country roads
permit hauling, but the movement to
tation.
After noon it developed that some of the
milling companies had received some good
sized orders for flour and that a portion
of the business was from abroad. The
report that the turn had come and that
the flour business. which had been ex-
tremely dull, was on the mend was
enough to cause much nervousness in the
pit. Many scalping traders have been
persistent sellers of calls all through the
continued dullness of late, and as usual
there were good many calls sold here
Thursday, as well as in Chicago. The
selling had been Of widely scattered small
lots, and few big houses had bought
most of the calls. Near the close pref
ty furry developed in the pit. the sellers
of calls bidding for wheat to offset their
commitments of yesterday. In a twink
ling May wheat was up from TAX @74%c
to 1880, closing firm and active at the
high point. July closed at 75% @75Bc,
and January wheat at 74%c. May price
was paid for No. northern and IL @1Ac
under for No. 2 northern. Good demand
ruled for cash wheat in all grades, and
the tables Were well cleaned up by noon.
Millers and elevators were buyers.
The following was the range of prices:

VESTS TRIBUTE 70 THE DOG
Remarkable Speech the Missouri Sen.
sbskqi pin wod far ~dohrdlurm
ator Made to a Jury.

One OF the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to the dog was delivered
by Senator Vest of Missouri some
years ago. He was attending conrt
IN a country town, ana while waiting
Tor the trial of a cast in which he
was interested was urged by the at.
torney's IN a dog case to help them.
Noluminous evidence was introduced
to show that the defendant had shot
the dog in malice, while other cyl
dence went to show that the dog had
attacked defendant, Vest took ia
part III the trial and was not dis
posed to speak. The attorneys, how
ever, urged him to speak, Being
thus urged, he arose. scanned the
face Of each juryman for a moment,
and said.
Gentlemen of the Jury. The best
friend a nan has in! the world may
he has reared with loving care may
prove ungratefnl. Those who are
nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our happiness
and our good name may become
traitors to their faith. The money
that a man has he may lose. 1t flies
away from him, perhaps when he
needs 1t most. A mans reputation
may be sacrificed in a moment of Ill
considered action. The people who
are prone to fall on their knees TO
do us honor when success is with us
may be the first to throw the stones
of malice when failure settles its
cloud upon their heads.
The ore absolutely unselfish friend
that a nan a have in this selfish
world, the one that never deserts
him, the n that never proves I'M
grateful or treacherous, is his dog. A
mans dog stands by him in prosperity
ard in poverty, in health and in sick
ness. He will sleep on the cold
ground where the wintry winds blow
and the snow drives fiercely, if only
ne may be near his masters side. He
Will kiss the hand that has no food
to offer; he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with
the r~onghness of the world. He guards
the sleep Of his pauper master as ii
We're a prince. When all other
friends desert, he remains. When
riches take wings ami reputation falls
pieces he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its journey through
the heavens.
