MARKET WILDLY EXCITED
Minneapolis Fears Damage as Result
of Hot Wave.


of Hot Wave.
Minneapolis, Aug. 4.-Wheat opened
wildly excited and on range of a
cent for opening trades, September
selling at $1.O3 and S1.04 simultane-
ously. Hot weather was the cause,
the thermometer being very high at
Fargo, Devils Lake, Rugby and other
North Dakota stations. The country
sent in buying orders and bad news.
Black rust was reported at Kerl1-
hoven, Mimi, and Hankinson, n. D.
Trade ran heavy, orders for $4,000 and
100000 bushel lots being executed, and
the market f1uctuated rapidly. The
Minneapolis trade is at sea as to &C
tual damage, but is very anxious. Min
neapolis elevator stocks decreased
$4,000 bushels for two days.

No Such Thing.

In last week issue of The Chronicle,
under the head of "News From Thur
mont" appears the following:
"Mr. Miller, our milk peddler, has de-
cided that his occupation does not profit
him so he will remove to Baltimore. This
leaves Thurmont without any milk deliv-
cry wagon.
No such thing. Mr.. Miller decided not
to run milk wagon in competition with
Mr.. Marshall A. Gaugh who has had a
milk wagon in the town for the past 10
years, and still has his wagon in and will
continue to deliver milk daily. Mr.. Mil
Ter tried to buy the business from Mr..
Gaugh but did not succeed, and hence de-
cided as above stated. The correspond
ent of the Chronicle certainly wants to
post himself before he makes "breaks'
like this. Wewill be obligedif the Chron-
icle will make correction.

A Small Pack,

The canning establishment of Root

for several weeks. The pack this season
will be small on account of unreasonable
weather. Many farmers were unable to
cultivate the ground for corn on account
of the dry weather, making the acreage
short on corn. The tomatoes are late as
