MITCHELL, 8. D., July 3O.-Cspecial)-
The German Lutheran synod OF lows is
making some Investigations in this state
with the idea OF building a pro-college at
some advantageous point. The ministerial
college is located at Dubuque, Ia, and the
pro-college' at Clinton, Ia, but the latter
institution Is row filled with students and
cannot accept any more at the opening Of
the fan term, which leaves the German
in this state without an institu-
tional school to which to send their children
TO college.

Features of the TrRdinR and Closing
Prices ON Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-The local wheat mar
ket was strong today. owing to an active
reports from the Dakotas. At the close the
september delivery was up Sale. Corn
was Au}sc higher. oats were up sc.
FrJvisiOr.s were &c to loo higher.
The wheat market was strong all day,
with the exception OF a brief period of ner-
vousness at the ouset, when prices dropped
a tritle below yesterdays closing quota
lions. The dominating factor during the
entire session was the situation In the
northwest, where the new crop, it is
claimed, Is in danger of being injured by
black rust. Nearly every commission house
represented on the Board of Trade had
dispatches claiming that the rust blight
mad appeared in the wheat fields of North
and South Dakota. Many of these dis
patches, however, asserted that Il was still
uncertain whether or not the crop had been
seriously damaged. A falling off in the re-
ceipts in the southwest helped TO inspire a
bullish sentiment. There was liberal real
iziHg at times. but all offerings were read
ily absorbed. The market closed strong,
with prices near the nigh point. September
opened lsc lower to sc higher at SOlsc to
slpsn9lSsc. The close was at SlhQslAc:

10 l34,OU bushels. Primary receipts Were

on the corresponding day ore year ago.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts OF i4 cars, against 34S cars last
week and Ss1 cars one year ago.
Corn was strong, chiefly because of the
advance in wheat prices. The market was
affected to some eNteEt by the hot, dry
weather now prevailing over almost the
entire corn belt, and by a firm market at
Liverpool. An advance of lc in the price
OF the cash grain also had a bullish influ-
ence. The close was strong. September
opened hsaAc to nuSsc higher at 735sc to
,4,ac, sold at 73%c ard then advanced 10
,49sC. The close was at l41aC. Local re-
ueipts were 100 cars, with eighteen cars of
contract grade.
oats Were strong on active demand
brought by crop damage reports from the
northwest. Cash houses reported few ac-
ceptances on overnight bids. and this
tended To strengthen the market. Septem-
Der opeLed ssc higher at 44ssc, sold at i44sc
and then advanced TO 4o4q459sc. The close
was at +fsc. Local receipts were ll cars.

a smiling higher than yesterday, that Is
a good proportion Of the hogs sold at and
right around 8z5, az against S6lOd6l5 for
the bulk yesterday. While the trade could
hardly be called very active, still there
were a few urgent orders, so that there was
a fair movement Of the offerings and prac-
tically everything was cleaned up in good

The advance Of yesterday and today wipes
out all the decline Of Monday and Tues
