GOSSIP

Chicago, April 12.-Most of the
wheat traders are looking for a con-
~tinuation of the bull market, although
prices have advanced 6H cents within
a week with a reaction of only 1B.
The market took a big lot of long
wheat yesterday and the short in
terest has been largely reduced but
there is still a heavy shortage out.
Those who unloaded await a further
break to get in again. 1t was figured
by the wheat pit that Lichstern's
brokers sold over 100000 bushels
May and July yesterday, Shearson
HammiIl Co. selling about 100000
bushels May. All this wheat was at
trfbuted to Lichstern. The latter
when asked about t said it must be
long wheat they were selling, but re-
fused to comment on the trading or
advance. Corn: Conservatism is
advised on the bull side Of corn by
all interests at present, although the
best people in the trade are looking
for a bull market and higher prices
for the next 1--WE weeks. The short
interests have been cut down and the
market is regarded as largely a long
one and it is said the bull fever has
not run it's course. It was generally
regarded as a supply inc demand af-
fair, with cash prices the highest
known in years at this season, with
a demand for all offerings.

According to reports from Washing
ton plans and specifications are now

Moorhead, an appropriation of $780,
600, for which was secured from con-
gress last year by Congressman Steen-
erson and is now available for the
supervising architects department at

more than the foundation will be put in
this year and the su"perstructure to
be finished next year.
Senator Marden, a member of the
republican committee for the Ninth

of the proposed new ~postofice build

In securing this building Congress-
man Stevenson has done a valuable
service for Moorhead and his influence
in the lower house is demonstrated by
securing a buildirg for Moorhead,

The general died before the physi-

To newspaper men who reached the

that Grant was at the hotel. For more
than a month Grants whereabouts
have been a mystery. Following the
announcement that he had been grant

that an illness believed by many to
be cancer of the throat, had caused
his temporary retirement. These were
denied at Governors island. where it
was stated repeatedly that the general
had gone south for a rest Dispatches
from Tampa, Fla, last week, stated he
was at the winter home of Mrs. Pot

Grant.
The report that Grant was in st.

that Grant had come directly to the
hotel in an automobile from st. LIuke's.
The patient at that time was in good
health and spirits, and walked from

HOW MUCH rs A
SETTLER WORTH?

Some interesting figures are be-
ing compiled by the Northwest
Development league to show the
value of a colonist and his family.
Here is a problem in long figures
which looks reasonable. IL the
increase in population in the
American northwest during the
last ten years OF 2,000,0 900 people
caused Our lands to increase in
value $2,812,450,182, how much
is a colonist who works the land
worth? These figures show that
that for every person added to the
population the value of our lands
was increased $1,406. If a family
consists OF two and a half people
on the average, each family In
a land values $3,515. On the
other hand, and added to this. it
is conceded that every family
spends locally from $500 to $1,000
per annum On this basis a family
which works the land is worth
about $1,000 to the American
northwest.
