MINNEAPOLIS PRODUCE

The butter list continues to gain in
frmness. The supply is not quite equal
to the amount required, and most lines
have felt the influence of the very firm
tone prevailing On creamery extras
and frsts, the call has been very ac-
tive, especially on the top grade. This
has been responsible for the close clean
ticeable except when extras are about
cleaned up. With continuance Of the
present favorable features, q quota
tion Of 20 cents on creamery tops is
quite probable within a few days. The
call for packing stock is very active.
and present competition for nice sweet
goods is. forcing up values right along.
Bakers are picking up medium grade
dairies, and taking it all around most

Demand for. eggs is holding UP
strongly, with arrivals running about
up to the average. A. slight advance
has developed during the week, and all
indications point to the maintaining Of
present satisfactory conditions. Buy
ers generally are taking in stock on a
loss-off basis, and still adhering, to the
privilege Of rejecting lots which show
conclusively that they have been
held too long before marketing.
The cheese market is showing ad-
vancing tendencies all down the line.
Present values are about Is per cent
higher than a year ago, and still fur
ther advances are quite probable, as
makers are very firm in their asking
prices, and some lines now billed out
could not be replaced at same figures.
The poultry list has shown sagging
tendencies ali the week. This has been
especially noticeable on hens and young
chickens. Other lines have held steady,
neither supply nor demand being of
great proportions. Veal is consider
ably frmer, and arrivals are keeping
cleaned up nicely. Mutton is higher
but spring lambs are quotably easier,
owing to heavier arrivals the past few
days. 5
Potatoes, onions and cabbage are
steady. Lighter marketings have been
the rule on the former, while the de-
mand has ruled more active than a
week ago., i
New apples are in heavy supply,

migration, scarcity of labor is re-
ported in different sections of the coun-
try, the railroads being the worst suf-
ferers in this respect.
For the moment the political situ-
alton causes little concern, especially
since word has gone out that the dom
inant party has no immediate intention
Of reforming the tariff. This factor,
however, is likely to be more in evil
dence several months from now, which
may materially dampen Wall street
enthusiasm.
The fact that larger number than
usual Of prominent railroad officials as
we'll as inanciers, are in town at this
season of the year is regarded as con-
vincing proof that matters of unusual
Importance with respect to the large
| railroad systems are being considered
It is known to be fact that promi-
nent interests in one large western

The trial Of Grace Sterling, late
proprietor Of the north side resort,
charged with assault with attempt TO
kill Frank l. Coffin last November,
began in the district court Wednes-
day, and at the time Of going TO press
the case was still with the jury, which
was given charge Of the case at II
o'clock Thursday morning The state
G. L Calvert, assisted by Attorney ].
L Foster, and Grace Sterling was de-
Tended by Attorney E s Knight
The prosecution introduced as wit
neSSeS Fred Prewitt, DR.. Quick, j.
w Meehan and George Bradley, but
their testimony did not much dam
age the defendants case. They told
substantially the same story as they
gave at the preliminary hearing
Wednesday afternoon Grace Ster-
ling was put upon the stand to tes-
tify in her own defense She said
that Frank Coffin had repeatedly
threatened her life, at one time had
drawn a knife upon her, at another
time had knocked her down with his
fist, and in the last instance Of their
trouble was waving a revolver in his
hand in her house accompanied with
crying threats that he would kill her
Coffin, she said, was peaceable en-
Ough when sober but when intOxicat-
ed, said he was vicious and quarrel
some with her
The night Of the shooting, she tes-
titled that she was sick in bed; that
Frank Coffin and Fred Prewitt came
into her private room, and without
provOcatiOn Coffin began to use alb
usive language upon her She order
ed him with others out Of the house
and they went out, but he soon forced
her TO unlock the door by firing shots
through the windows and demanding
admission.
Hearing the shots, Prcwitt went
back to the house and while Coffin
was fiOgrishing a gun in the air, the
woman took refuge behind Prewitt,
who meanwhile was trying to work
up to Coffin to get the gun away from
the assailant. At this point in the
dangerous game Grace Sterling picked
up her pistol from a dressed near by
she testified. for I shot low, not at
any vital portion Of his body, and did
50 to protect my own life"
That is substantially the story. COT
fin, against whom the alleged dead
" assault was made, has skipped the
country and therefore is in default as
an important witness.
While the attorneys on both sides
have handled the case vigorously,
there is an Indifference about the out
come, and many think the verdict Will
result in an acquittal, as the audi
enCe Of men only believe from the
right TO protect herself even with a
deadly weapon under the cirCum-
stances
