Chicago Wheat.

December wheat has been heavy In
tone most OF the day. although shorts
in it were buying freely early and at
higher prices. May delivery has at
all times been relatively firmer than
December, but has always turned heavy
ultimately. 1t is the popular impress
sion that the leading long In December
wheat sold a large part OF 1t yester-
day and has sold more today. This puts
the property in the hands OF weak
holders.
A leading cash grain and elevator
concern reports the recent purchase OF
1000, 900 bushels Duluth and Nebraska
wheat to be brought here for delivery
on December contracts There were
100000 bushels Duluth No. 1 North
ern and 100000 bushels Nebraska and
Kansas part winter bought today to
come here and negotiations for more
of the Duluth wheat we're under way
at the close. Early sentiment in May
wheat was made bullish largely by the
light primary market receipts 100000
bushels as compared with 1,122,000
bushels year ago. and By rather bull
ism reports on the Argentine crop
prospects.
One private cable direct reported
weather cold and wet, exportable sur
plus 100, 10000 bushels, Liverpool re-
ported lack of offerings of Argentine
and Australian wheat for future ship
ment. Export clearances today were
light at 26S,00O bushels but no new
business on export account was closed.
Local cash wheat sales were 5000
bushels. Northwest reports a poor
milling business today.
There was another little upturn in
May wheat at the close on evening up
by those who sold short on the break
to around s1.06 and did not care to
stand short over the holiday. With
the close Of navigation so close 1t is
well TO see what effect the inability
10 ship wheat and -four cheaply by
water will have on the demand. We
think 1t will check up the demand very
sharply and affect the markets un-
favorably but we will soon fnd out
now and in the meantime any money
in wheat looks as though ii would be
on the selling side Of May on the hard
spots.

Moorhead Department
REMLEY PROVES STRONG
WITNESS FOR THE STATE
First Evidence Tending to Establish Motive for Murder Of Dr.
Egge by Kethman Was introduced TOday--Tes-
titles to Bitter InvectiveS

TO him and saw that the defendant had
been in some trouble.
Crossman was questioned by Attor-
ney Smith. Witness told of his going
to the scene of the murder on the night
In question, that on reaching there he
did not know that a murder has been
committed. He described the posi-
ton he found the doctor in, that his
face was all covered with blood. He
suggested the turning over of the body
a little and that when that was done
witness found a red, white and blue
striped badge, similar to the one the
carpenters had worn in the labor day
parade. The badge was identified.
Crossman continuing, told the cir
cumstances which followed after the
disposition of the body. That two or
three hours afterwards Kethman was
brought into the Moorhead police sta
tion under arrest. He told of the ex-
animation of the prisoners clothing
and the removal Of the overalls which
he was wearing and which the witness
stated were spattered with blood
Kethman said to witness, ''Bill, what
am in here for?"
This after the witness Remley was
recalled to made identification in some
minor matters. Then Attorney Smith
called Enoch j. Swedman, one of the
persons in the saloon with the doctor

stand but a short time. At press time
Superintendent Warner was on the
stand explaining more details as to

LivernooI onsnina.

Liverpool Nov. 24.-Tne decline in
American markets was reflected here
at the opening and values were lower
with May ls higher, favorable advices
from Argentine further stimulated in
creased offerings. During the morning
the markets became steady and values
advanced IL to u from the opening
with shorts nervous owing to a fair
demand for Manitobas which were
more firmly held and lack of pressure
to sell Argentine and Australian wheat
for future delivery. The market on
the whole, was dull and toward mid
day there was some little reaction and
values at this time were unchanged to
" higher than yesterday. Corn was
steady at the start and later December
declined " on the quieter demand for
spot and the milder weather here.
Gable from our Argentine agent re-
ceived last night said: "The weather
has now turned fine, and although
there are some reports of damage
from recent rains, / believe the dam

FARGO WOMAN HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
MRS. O. j. deLENDREcIE AND sfsa
TER-IN-LAW ESCAPE FROM A
BURNING HOUSE ON THE
RAsYE RANCH WITH FEW BE.
LoNeINGs.

The Ashley Tribune gives the follow
ing account of the arrow escape from
death Of Mrs. o. j. deLendrecie Of
Fargo and her sister-in-law:
The first house built in McIntoch
county was destroyed by fire early
Monday morning. Mrs. Basye and her
sister i'm law, Mrs. Helen deLendrecie
of Fargo were still occupying the house
while arranging business matters and
affairs before the probate court by rea-
son of the death of Mr.. Basye, last
September. Shortly before o'clock
Monday morning, Mrs. Basye awoke.
Thinking that she snelled smoke she
aroused Mrs deLendrecie. The ladies
were in the large room in the middle
of the building. The door to the stair
way was opened and cloud Of smoke
came UP from below. A few moments
later the door was again opened and
flames were then seen eating their way
up the stairway. Although retreat by
way of the stairway was cut off, the
ladies escaped through the south door,
which opened on the side OF the hill.
They were able to save only what
wearing apparel they could hastily
gather and a small trunk. The night
was very cold and the nearest place OF
refuge was the barn. where they fin-
ished dressing. After the house burn-
ed and there was no danger OF the
fires spread to the barn they made
their way to the home Of the nearest
neighbor. Monday Mrs deLendrecie
went to Fargo, via Forbes, and Mrs.
Basye came to Ashley.
The house that burned was three
stories in height, built into the steep
side of the hill, few rods from the
northwest shore of Coldwater lake. It
was built in the spring Of the year
1884. During that summer and for
several years "Basye's ranch" was the
best known and oftenest visited stop
ping place in this part OF the Dakota
territory. Passengers on the stage
line from Ellen6ale to Bismarck, set
tiers coming into Mcintosh county from
the east, parties on the way to points
farther west and freighters hauling
goods and necessities Of life from Ell
lendale hundreds of them were at this
well known place for either meals.

now remains of this interesting old
landmark is heap OF ashes and the

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-It was the gossip
0f the wheat traders last night that
the break at the close was due to
profit taking and that the market act
ed as II 1t was due for a break Of one
cent or more. Prices have been on the
upward movement for a week, and
December is up 81 cents from the
recent low point. The short interest
has been reduced and there is a dispo-
sition to take profits on long wheat.
Corn specialists said that the market
needed constant buying and that the
purchases Of late were not of the right
sort for a bull market. The bears said
they wanted a continuation of this
cold weather to increase the receipts
and the bulls predicted That there is
to he more bad weather. 1t was said
that deliveries on old sales to arrive
are being made which take a fair per-
centage Of the daily receipts. which re-
lieves the pressure.

G. L. Meller, Fargo's superintendent of
parks Mr.. Meller told OF parks and
their purposes and things to be avoid
ed in the establishing of parks in
small cities. He gave suggestions as
to how certain kinds of local grounds
should be treated to bring about the
best and most attractive results and
how by proper treatment certain large
or small tracts, as the case may be.
are possible of being transferred into
lasting beauty spots at economical
costs If that is essential. The speaker
laid emphasis on the matter of work
ing along given lines, even though a
little be done eacn season, there should
be no wasting OF resources. The talk
of Mr.. Meller was followed by a social
session and the speaker was heartily
thanked for the valuable suggestions
extended to the club.

]. n. wrenn g. Co.: SO long as De-
sember and cash wheat maintain their
premiums after the May delivery, the
short sales of that month are in a
weak position. We still favor the long
side OF corn.
8. B. Chaplin g. Co.: Would accept
moderate profits in wheat trades on
either side OF the market. Would not
advise shorts to sell corn at this level
but on the dips would buy for the
present.
Bartlett Patten & Co.: The news
from Argentine will bear very close
watching from now on.
Logan & Bryan: It will take a radi-
cal change in the cash wheat premiums
ell over the country to igve any con-
tinued selling pressure in May wheat

prefer the buying side.
