sneaked back and was lurking be-

friend was not visible.
Far up the street to his left, on an
intersecting track, a car was rapidly
approaching. In a moment 1t came to
a noisy staudstill directly before him.
Pelton was gazing at It disinterestedly
when his heart suddenly leaped to his
throat. E
1t was the identical car the UNI

Aware o. the urgency ot the ease,
SPelton stepped briskly to the window

when he observed that the seat had
been taken BY a lady. Tipping his hat

The sarcasm In this speech was ap-

He was about to give up the battle

wondering why 1t did not proceed and

MINNEAPOLIS MARKET RECORD
SAYS THIS WILL BE RESULT or
THE PECULIAR GRAIN coNpI-
TicNs THIS YEAR - WHEAT rs.
NOT AccUMuLATlNc.

The board Of trade members al
Minneapolis and Duluth are puzzled
this year, as to the failure of wheat
to accumulate In the terminal markets.
Speaking Of this anomalous condition
In the grain trade the Minneapolis
Market Record says:
Consumption. large as it may be,
cannot have done away with this i'm
mense amount of wheat vet in it's
relation to the wheat market IL has
passed from sight Even the by-pro-
ducts of -four, the production of which
has been on a big scale this season
as all the mills have been busy turning
out flour, have failed to accumulate
as prices have ranged upon a high level
so far this season and sales are now
being made for future delivery at ouo-
tations which suggest further adj
vance rather than a decline. MilIers
OF -four and sellers of mill feed have
had active sales in large lines for three
months and in their branches OF the
grain trade there is likewise no in
crease In the visible supply. The same
situation is seen in Europe as in
America, and the question arises, what
has become of the wheat and -four?
The board Of trade people are prone to
believe that consumption has not "di-
gested this movement" but such sta
tisticians as J. J. Hill seem to believe
that consumption has increased to such
an extent that it is close upon the heels
of production of wheat for the worlds
supply of wheat for the worlds popu-
lation now no longer produces an ac-
tual surplus With general prosperity
and increased ability to buy, the con-
Stunning classes of the world have in
creased SO far as to explain the pc
culiar situation now existing in the
wheat and -four trade. 1t all opints to
higher levels for the prices of land and
to a better system of farming whereby
more yield per acre will be had on the
present acreage. The outlook for both
wheat and land prices for the north
west farmer was never better. The
outlook for increased cost of living is
also ahead.

Mill City Cops Think Beggar is Fargo

Because a Minneapolis beggar COW

HuRsUB INCIDENTAL TO THE
CONVENTION OF THE GRAND
JURY GIVES AWAY TO PEACE
AND QUIET - NOTHING DOING
TILL PLTIT JURY coNvENEs.

Nothing but peace and quiet around
the federal building this merging. At
ter a weeks excitement and hurrah.
Uncle Sans business headquarters
have again assumed a businesslike at
titude. For the past week scores of
witnesses summoned to appear before
the grand jury, have crowded the cor
ridors and filled the various offices.
The august body, working behind
closed doors, has deIved into alleged
attractions of the federal statutes.
With the entrance to the jury room
guarded by not less than two bailiffs,
only witnesses, as they were called for,
were allowed admittance to the room.
The contrast in the condition about
the place was so apparent that it
could not escape notice. Nothing but
the regular grind in the various offices
could be seen--a lull after the storm.
