strenath II Wheat.

Chicago, Nov. 22.--Stubborn streng n
has been the chief characteristic OF
today's market. Trade has been of
moderate volume, almost dull all Of the
time. Except for the dull cash trade,
for all except contract grade wheat,
the news today has been generally bull
ish. Cars northwest both on Canadian
and American sides, have been mate
rialy short of year ago. Wet weather
in Argentine, where harvesting is just
at hand in the north. had some in
fiuence as did the cable from an Inn
portant agriculture authority there In
dicating that the acreage was about
rs per cent short of last year Worlds
shipments for the week fell far short
of estimates at 1882 900 bushels which
compares with the record breaking
total of 1885, 900 bushels preceding
week and at s,336.000 bushels year ago.
The visible supplies afloat are now 3d.
$4,000 bushels against 30.1S4,000 bush
els year ago. The visible supply state
ment showed an unexpected heavy de-
crease of 1853, 900 bushels last week,
which compares with decrease of
$4,000 bushels last preceding week
and with $500 bushels increase for
corresponding week last year.
Canadian visible decreased 6s1,0

SOUTH HALL HAS
Been GUARANTEED
MISS MAY BEsToR AND COOK AT
JONES HALL CONFINED IN THE
BUILDING WITH DlPHTHERlA-
ONE STUDENT TO COUNTY HOS
PITAL.

South hall of Fargo college was
quarantined today on account of two
cases of diphtheria which are now con-
fined there. These two cases are Prof.
Miss May Bestor and the cook employ
ed in Jones Hall. Ralph J. Beebe. a
student and son Of Reverend Beebe of
New Rockford, has also contracted the
disease and was removed TO the county
detention hospital this morning.
Reports were current on the streets
this morning that the college proper
had been quarantined but this was not
authentic. The college was running az
usual today and there seems to be lit
tie danger of the spread of the malady
by infection from the cases that have
already appeared in the institution.
DR.. c. G. Creegan, president OF the
college, said this morning to The Fo-
rum that the students were being
watched closely for any symptoms of
diphtheria SO that they could be elm
mated at the earliest possible moment.
However, DIR. Creegan stated that he
did not think that there was any dam
ger of spread of the disease and con-
sequently no need to close the insti-
tuition nor to quarantine any but South
hall in which Miss Bestor and the cook
are confined. This seems to be the
opinion of the physicians in charge Of
the cases. So far the disease seems to
be of very light nature.

Grain Opinions.

Finley Darrell g. Co.: Continue to
feel friendly to wheat on al sole spots
Corn is the strongest legitimate posi-
ton Of any cereal on the list.
Walter Fitch: We continue friendly
to the buying side on the weak spots.
Ware e. Leland: We continue to
suggest purchases of wheat on the lit
tie dips. Believe purchases OF corn
should be made now and on a scale
down If necessary. Buy oats on the
dips for scalping profits We prefer
selling of May product at the moment.
Shearson Hammill & Co.: The logi-
cal outcome Of values points inevitably
to an export level, the short seller in
the interim is facing situation where
the penalty for anticipating develop
ments is very against him and as long
as this discount position continues the
bear will be forced to pay too dearly
for the privilege of operating.
