Bull traders had the market well in hand

Rains Over the Northwest and
Fear of Wet Harvest Like
Last Year.
Chicago Bearish and Pressure on
That Market from Some
Big People.
Modern Miller Says Farmers In
clined to Hold for Higher
Prices.

minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. Sept. =
More rain last night, and more again this NOR
ming. Enough bad weather ordinarily to have
caused bull turn, but no advance worth noting
Early in the day prices were up fraction more,
following the lie gain of yesterday, but thiS
could be held and December was back down
around Sill again after q short time. CHI
cago is beari.la and there Is no support at ali
every time prices w little. There are
many who believe in higher wheat, but are be-
ginning to think little break must come first
The market Is about stationary all around
Meanwhile the weather Is bad for all late crops
From Assiniboia down to central Minnesota there
rains last night. and intermittent rains
this morning. wet September would be l.
bad thing. Last year rain fell over Labor Day
and for ten days after, and a wet harvest was
on. recurrence of such weather TINS year
would be calamftous. Much wheat that Will do
fairly well with good weather from now on would
= be ruined by continued rain. The forecast Tor
: tonight and tomorrow is more favorable, but by
no means US good as could be wished for.
Minneapolis stocks will decrease about 3O1 900
! bu this week.
Z Receipts are little irregular, running ahead
here at 253 cars. against 191, while Chicago fell
+, of, with only SO cars. against 136. Duluth
had % cars, against 6; st. Louis 100000 bu,
, against 10000 bu; Kansas City $4,000 bu,
against LA, 900 bu. Primary receipts were $780,
900 bu against 1T COO bu; shipments 100000 bu,
against 293, 900 bu. Clearances OF wheat and
-four, So, 702 bu.
The Modern Miller says: Excellent weather
conditions continue for the seeding of winter
wheat. The soil is in fine condition nearly
start this fall. The prospects are for larger
acreage, owing to the high prices prevailing at
present. The marketing of this years wheat
crop continues free, but the quality of the grain
is unusually low in test weight. Farmers are
holdinf much of their choice wheat In granaries
for higher prices.

Wonderful Tricks of a Hindoo Marvel,
: II Who Laughed at Death.
Johannesburg Transyaal Star.

OOAdAuSSUuIS flIduSVddl SCdT.
When in India 1 made the acquaint-
ance Of a juggler, who tried to instruct
me in all his tricks. He said that it was
imaginary Oh the part of the spectators,
as he simply willed that they should see
those things. Yet I, in common with.
western nations, was too animalized,
sensual and materialized, by fesh-eat-
ing and consumption of alcohol to re-
tain or accept any deep spiritual teach
ing; The most exciting performance
that he gave for my amusement was the
tive servant, who waited at table and
supplied our wants. Afterward-in his
ABSENCE tried it, and to my surprise
the same man was before me asking for
instructions. I directed him to fill
the chatties in the veranda with water
from the we'll in the compound. This he
proceeded to do. When he had filed
them all to overfowing, requested him
to stop. He, however, took no notice
Of me, and went on sto1idly, bringing in
ton, it seemed that the bungalow would
be washed away. Finding that could
not arrest or stop his movements, he
passing thru me as tho I did not exist,
1 drew my sword and lay in wait for
him. I made slash at him, and APP
Parently cut him in twain, who 10!
there were two men bringing III the
water, neither Of whom could / restrain
from doing SO. I was completely out
of my depth, when I heard a quiet
laugh behind me, and, on turning, found
it was my instructor, who held up his
right hand and the two men disap-
peared, the stick resuming its place on
the veranda; and, to crown all, there
was not the slightest sign of any water
having been brought in. 1 excitedly
appealed to him for an explanation. He
said he had been present all the time,
having willed that he should be invisi-
BILE to me, and that I should imagine
myself to see and do what I thought
had taken place. In order to prove it,
he asked me to step into the compound,
and directed my attention to a large
cavern, which I knew was not there be,
fore. AS I entered a number Of huge
elephants and camels issued from it
in a continuous stream, yet I could not
touch one Of them. They apparently
passed over me as tho / did not exist.
He again raised his hand and the cav
ern and animals disappeared. -
