Grain Oninions.

Clement, Curtis d Co.: The wheat
market is now under the influence
of the northwest strike situation and
during it's continuance the marked
should display considerable strength.
December corn is purely a weather
proposition but the strength in May
rious break. We believe in pur-
chases on all weakness.
Logan & Bryan: Light stocks of
product and short holdings supply are
features which cannot be Offset by
any amount of bear talk in the local
trade.
j. II. Wrenn & Co.: We have seldom
seen the May delivery of wheat in a
stronger position at this season of the
year than it is now. It's discount is a
great handicap TO the short seller.
Shearson, Hammill e. Co.: The
strike situation has added to the per-
plexities surrounding the wheat mar
ket and opinions should be based on
very conservative lines.
S. B. Chaplin g. Co.. The outlook is
for a scalping market in wheat for the
next few weeks. Ordinarily present
weather conditions would make for a
sharp advance in corn. but the trade
is affected of a heavy movement with
any change in the weather.
Ware & Leland: Wheat market is
one which easily becomes oversoId and
for the time being we advocate scalp
ing operations. Take on some corn
now and on scale down if necessary.

BOTH ARE FINED
BY JUDGE RYAN
MAN COMPLAINS THAT HE WAS
FRlsKED BY WOMAN - BOTH
ARRESTED AND FINED FOR RE-
SORTING TO ROOMS FOR I'M.
MORAL PURPOSES.

When John Shrom appeared at the
police station this morning and COM
planned that he had been robbed by a
woman who he was with at AIS N. p.
avenue last night, he didn't suppose
that he would be held for anything.
With Captain Dahlgren he went back
to the place and the woman was ar
rested.
In the police court before Judge
Martin Ryan the story was told. The
man claimed that he had SIS when ac-
ton was started and that $40 he put
in the pillow casing When he woke
up this morning it was gone. While
the woman denied all knowledge of
the transaction, the circumstances
were suspicious.
The charge that was preferred
against the pair was resorting to
rooms for immoral purposes: Both
were found guilty. The woman was
fined $40 or sixteen days and the man
fined SIS which he paid and was given
his liberty. The woman is still held
in the woman's ward of the city Jail.

Much has been said about town as
to the standing of the jury and all
sorts of rurnors are afioat, but 1t can
be said that there is no foundation for
any of them. It is understood that
pledge of secrecy was agreed to by
the jury that they would keep their
counsel as to all the transactions dur
ing the deliberations on the verdict.
Rumors Of How Jury Stood.
About the room after the jury left
1t to deliver the verdict there was not
the smallest scrap of paper which
would divulge the pro and con of any
of the ballots. However, there were
two sharp ears at the hotel yesterday
afternoon who heard enough from con-
versation between two members of the
jury, who had become fast friends
during their enforced confinement. to
the effect that the first ballot which
was taken to determine guilt or inno-
cence showed ten for conviction and
two for acquittal. Those well familiar
with the personnel OF the jury and
who know their views on such matters
say that the two "for acquittal" were
men rather opposed to capital punish
ment and that they would vote SO in
order to lay a foundation for a com
promise.

He HAD SOME "SALTED"
Jacob Hwas Taken to the Hospital
For Treatment This Afternoon
In Bad Shape.

Captain Louis Dahlgren took a hand
in the case of Jacob Hwas, the aged
man who was hurt by falling in front
of the postoffice this morning. There
was suspicion that the man had some
money "salted" which he refused to
uncover. The police captain informed
the man that he had better disgorge at
once, with which he turned over $50
and was taken to st. Luke's hospital
for treatment. He was suffering con-
siderable pain at the time and was
considered in bad shape.

Market Eratic.

Chicago, Dec. 3.--Wheat: Dizziness
and strength have again been prom
inent features of the wheat market
today. There has been some fairly
prominent northwestern buying and at
home on expectation of a settlement
of the strike of the railroad crew en-
ployes. 1t has come on a narrow mar
ket on which offerings have been light
and the most aggressive factors more
disposed to follow than combat the
northwestern lead. Early cables told
OF continued good weather for harvest
in Argentine, while q later private
cable reported that rains had begun
This helped the general bullish tenn

NO COAL FAMINE
FEARED IN FARGO
NO FUEL IS COMING IN BUT ALL
THE DEALERS STILL HAVE
SOME IN sTocK--MANY CON-
sUMERs LAYING IN SUPPLIES

Those who did not take the precau-
ton to lay in a supply Of coal last
fall, and who have not already pur-
chased an extra amount, will likely
find that this fuel is rather hard to
get in Fargo on account of the switch
mems strike.
So far there has been absolutely no
coal received since the strike started.
| although that in the yards for the
local dealers at the time the strike was
| declared has been switched and I'M
loaded. From present indications IL
| looks as though some were destined to
undergo a famine unless conditions
are changed soon. From statements
OF the local fuel dealers there is not
enough coal in their bins to last more
than three or four days IL the demand
continues to be as great as 1t has
been since the strike was declared.
From the Interior Lumber Co. comes
the report that the firm now has more
orders than IL can fill. What is on
hand will last today and tomorrow and
probably part OF Monday
j. A. Chesley states that he is very
to last for several days. None has
been received since the strike.
The Beidler & Robinson Lumber
Co.. said that they have enough of
both hard and soft coal to last until
the last OF next week at the present
rate of buying. No coal mas been re-
ceived this week.
Consumers Are Stocking Up.
Reports from most of the coal yards
indicate that the consumers seem to
have taken fright and stocked UP for
an emergency. This would indicate
that even II no more coal was received
for several weeks a general coal fam
inc here would not be possible, al
though there are a few who nave not
made any preparations for a short
age.
Both the Interior Lumber Co., and
j. A. Chesley report that their GUS
toners have purchased more than the
usual amount of coal within the last
few days and particularly since the
strike went into effect. Most of these
had coal on hand. Those that usually
purchased single ton are now get
ting 1t by the two, three and four ton
lots. The Beidler & Robinson Co.
state that most Of their sales have
been one ton lots, but that a consid-
cradle part of 1t was going to people
who had coal on hand but who were
increasing their stock to forestall
shortage.
Other Fuels Could Be Used.
OF course there does not seem to be
much Immediate danger Of a genuine
coal famine, unless of course the
strike should continue to produce a tie
up in railroad traffic for protracted
period and the weather should become
severe. Most people have enough coal
to last them several weeks and those
that are not so fixed could use coke
and wood in a pinch.
