The Market on a Fair Export Basis
and More Inquiry
To-day. ~

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
March 2S.--The wheat market eased on
at the close to-day on end-of-the-Week
selling, and May closed at 72Ac' having
sold carly to 72Tc There was a good
steady tone throughout and nothing weak
ening until near the close. when the SELL
Ing began. The weather was not changed
in any important degree. and there was
little in the domestic news to altect
prices. Broomhall cabled that World S
SHIPMENTS on Monday will probably run
tosS. SOC. 900, of which Quantity Europe will
take about 100000 bushels. He expects
a fair decrease in the quantity on pas
sage. The closing firmness in American
markets yesterday and the forecast OF
very light American shipments during the
past week caused an opening advance
of "a in Liverpool wheat. Covering by
shorts caused further slight gain later,
but shortly before the close realiz ing sales
caused a reaction to opening prices. Corn
at the opening showed advances OF Ad IN
both months, the factors being covering
by shorts in sympathy with the strength
in March. During the session May gained
1sd further, while July lost 1sd.
1t was the impression here tnat more
export business was being done which
was not given out publicly. The market
will likely hold very firm so long as there
is foreign demand Lisbon took about
100000 bushels yesterday, and in the re-
port from New York. near the close, there
was mention of further inquiry from Port
ugal. Forty loads were reported taken
at New York to go out.

Paul at 161.

New York, March 2S-The tone Of the
opening trading was irregular within
narrow range. There were simultaneous
sales Of 1000 shares of Pennsylvania at
1862 to 1861, compared with 1875 last
night. The New York Central and ST.
cific was up Vs. The changes elsewhere in
the list were narrow and mixed.

Pennsylvania was lifted point above its

declining slightly, rallied a point also.

SpeciaI to The Journal,

special TO Inc Jou1naI,
Washington, March 2S.--The second
National Bank of Minot, n. D., was to day
designated as a government depository.
Six weeks ago the Minot National bank
was thus designated, the treasury depart
ment overlooking the fact that it had only
s25, 900 capital, the treasury rule requiring
$50 900 capital for each government depos-
tory. 49,.
The Second National was quick to see
the situation and increased its capital
to $4,000 and made application to be
designated a depository with the result
that the designation was made to-day.
The order for the designation of the Minot
National bank will probably not be re-
voked, SO Minot will have two banks
qualified to hold public money.
Mr.. and Mrs. John W. See Of 'Minne-

here they go toy New York and other
