To be ''good fellow you must forget your cares, and that is well. But, as the phrase is often interpreted. you must fol- get something more than your cares. You must forget your responsibilities and your bligations-includng those due yourself. You must 'let yourself go' in sheer conyiviality, even if 1t squanders time, money and energies that should be put to better use. Even thus the good fellow would be more admirable institution than he is if he exercised his geniality toward his brother man in any thing except conviviality. But it is not a part of his philosophy that he should be a good fellow to his companions when they are In trouble, difficulty or affiiction. In such moments men do not turn to the jolly crew with whom they have made the nights hideous. They hunt up disappearing relative, sober-sided friend, the minister or the pawnbroker.
 Bohemian and good fellow are words that work a mischievous spell As frequently used they gloss over, justify and seek to glorify good deal of social weakness, empty gregariousness and sheer Responsibility.

SCA[PINC MARKET
WITH LITTLE CHANGE
Cash Demand Rather Dull in
Spite of the Smaller
Receipts

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
April 1.-THE market opened strong and
higher on the higher Liverpool market,
smaller worlds shipments, over million
less than estimated and the smaller re-
ceipts here. The advance was met with
rather free selling by the scalpers and the
under this pressure only declined about
half cent. until shortly after the noon
hour when the selling pressure became too
great and prices broke rather sharply,
nearly a cent within few minutes. The
decline was met with good support, and
as offerings were dried up there was
quick rally of over a cent in the July OPP
ton, May not coming back as fast as the
former option. The market closed steady,
May off fractionally and both July and
September little higher than the closing
on Saturday.
Trade was rather light all day, the
crowd are not inclined to play on any large
operators, the scalping crowd being sat
isfied with small profits until something
definite turns up to move prices either
upward or downward. The cash demand
was dull and featureless with prices on a
somewhat lower basis than prevailed dur
ing last week. Chicago has bought some

WHEAT AND FLOUR STOCKS

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April H.
Wheat and flour stocks in the United
States, according to the best figures OBJ
tainable, aggregated on April ] of this
year equivalent to $4,000, 900 bu of wheat
A year ago stocks in the same position
aggregated So, sos, 90 bu, indicating that
the total stocks of wheat and flour in the
United States today is $500. 900 bu less
than a year ago at this time. Accord
Ing TO the best figures obtafnable the
quality of the wheat is much poorer than
IL was year ago. 1t takes more of il
TO make barrel Of -four, and what there
is OF ii of good quality is held in the
strongest possible hands. Last year after
this time we exported no wheat to speak
of, and still stocks on Aug. / OF old wheat
and -four were very near the point OF
complete exhaustion.
Minneapolis stocks of wheat decreased
10000 blu during the past week, as
against 237, 900 blu increase a year ago.
Indications point to a stock of wheat III
Minneapolis May Of $500. 900 Blu, against
11,400, 600 bu on May 1 a year ago. Stocks
OF wheat are decreasing much more rap
idly this year than a year ago. Should
they decrease at the same rate from now
until July that they did year ago, there
would be less than 1000. 600 bu of wheat
in Minneapolis on July l. but IL the pres
ent rate of decrease is continued the
stocks will be less than 1000 900 bu ON
that date. Wheat is being shipped here
from Kansas City and Duluth, and Is
being shipped out here from Chicago in
large quantities. These figures all In
dictate very light stocks and scarcity of
wheat here during the summer months.
