Minneapolis Market.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Jan. GA strong

only feature of Importance, the indica-
lions pointed to accumulations on the
break by some big interest. strength
I'm cash wheat In Chicago had d bene-
ficial effect. but the market, as whole.
did not display much strength. bur
rather good resistance, There is talk
of liberal accumulations of wheat in
the northwest, owing to the inability Of
the railroads to provide the cars. This
may cause a return Of strong bearish
sentiment unless offset by other devel-
opments. The fact that this wheat
will be pretty well disposed OF before
1t arrives will probably be ignored, as
Il has been in the past. Near the
close there was a strong foreign cable
on the cash situation abroad. which
may bring good cables i'm the morning
The market still looks safe to buy on
breaks, and sales in good bulges ought
not to worry the trader who can take
quick profits With no change i'm the
commercial outlook which is absorb
ing cash wheat at good premiums. the
situation still has a sound appearance,
1t looks, however, like a. scalping
market. Chas. E. Lewis g. Co.

BouTELL, I'M VIGOROUS SPEECH
BEFORE CONGRESS, DEFENDS
PAYNE TARIFF BILL.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Admitting that
the Payne tariff law would have to be
justified by the results of its practical
operation, Representative Boutell of
Illinois, j member of the committees
which framed the measure, made a Wig
orous defense of the new law in the
house today. President Taft had been.
criticised, Mr.. BouteIl said, because of
having declared that the Payne bill
was the best tariff bill ever passed by
congress, but, added MIR. Boutell. the
result would Justify that statement

President Taft will be recognized by

asserted that the tariff act has not

will retard prosperity"
Takes Zap at Dems.
When the democrats applauded
these statements and laughed In deri-
sion, Mr.. Boutell sharply rebuked
them. Why is IT," he asked, that
the democrats always applaud any
tale of misfortune or prediction of ad-
versity."
1t was then the turn of the republi-
cans to laugh, and applaud, and the
democrats laosed into silence.
Il think" said Mr.. Boutell. answer
ing his own question, ''its because adj
versity is so familiar and so in keep
ing with the history of their party. It
is not indicative OF appreciation but
the result of party loyalty"
