Speculative Gossip.

chicago. March 2T.-With May
wheat steadily tightening and almost
& cents over July and with rapid dis
appearance of the May on all breaks
1t was the general remark anon
the cash handlers and h big specu-
lators that 1t has the earmarks of a
soueeze. II was said that those VINO
had the dope to buy wheat on yester-
DAVIS break played 1t very strong
Rears were forced to admit last night
that they were in wrong and the tech
nical situation in the pit was slightly
bearish as the shorts were well COW
cred and many of the professionals
were long at the close. Bulls are look
ing at the cash situation and predict
ing better things, while the bears
argued that until there is improved
weather they have little show. Corn
receivers are talking light receipts and
the bulls were confident Of higher
advance for a week were forced to
prices. Those who have fought the
advance for a week were forced to
come In on yesterdays advance and
were looking for another chance to
put their shorts out on weak spots.
It has been a case Of one bull buying
from another for several days and Of
a hardening Of cash values in outside
markets, making Chicago the weakest.
The bulls seemed more confident of
their position last night than at any
other time, Notwithstanding the high
price Inter Ocean.

FORGED CHECKS
TO PAY HIS BILLS

Grand Forks, N. d. March 27.-Be-
cause he owed bills approximating $500
and could see no other way out, Will
liam Todie, aged q years, an employe
in the Great Northern roundhouse,
yesterday afternoon passes WI forged
checks. one for $50 and the other for
500, on local business firms. He also
attempted to pass another check for
$255 on c. H. opsahl, the clothier, but
was unsuccessful. Strange to say, his
failure to pass the check on opsahl,
which was his first attempt, did not
deter him from further and more sue
cessful efforts.
Todie was arrested soon after he
made his raid oil the business district.
Trembling with fear and apprehen-
sion, he was found in his little home
on Ashton street by officer Duggan,
and was brought to the police, station,
where he spent the night, The UNI
fortunate man says that he is of Eng
lish- German descent and was born in
South Africa. In his pocket was
found all the money he had secured.
and severtl other forged checks ag-
gregating between 800 and $500.

The Great Northern has cancelled
instruction to its agents in the Red
River valley belt, requiring them not
to bill out CARROTS OF potatoes, unless
accompanied by a heating stove and a
man to take care OF it. To this effect
Leslie Welter received a letter from
the railroad people, this morning, put
ting an end to the order which was
put into effect March 20 and con
celled last night. In view OF the
greatly moderated weather the potato
men cannot understand why the order
was issued in the first place, when
the danger of frost had passed. Last
evening there were twenty-three cars
of spuds on the sidetrack at Sabin.
where there was a deadlock. The
cars were billed and the company mo-
titled to move them along as rapidly
as possible. The shippers say that
they are not worrying at all over the
cars not being moved as the affair
Is UP to the railroads. The prices are
going up and the shippers are not los
ing anything by the delay.

EvAninn Grain Letter.

Chicago, March 27.-Wheat: The
opening prices showed q slight ad-
vance over those OF last night and
there was evidence OF some buying for
foreign account which absorbed the
early offerings. During the latter part
Of the session, however, prices re-
coded to about last nights level Ad-
vices from Indiana points indicate
freer offerings from first hands. The
cash demand generally show little Or
no Improvement. The winter wheat
market in the southwest reported oniy
8 fair demand with 10000 bushels
sold at So. Louis. There was no ex-
port inquiry at the sea-board. The
market remains a waiting one n we
again call attention to the inadVis-
ability of trading in the May delivery.
W. still continue to favor purchases
of July on the recessions.

They Are Made Of the Finest Silk and
Ars Quite Costly.
II Is said that the cut and style OF
the gowns worn by the justices Of the
supreme court OF the United States are
50 peculiar that 1t Is not always posi-
BILE to have one correctly made.
The wife Of former justice used to
enjoy telling of her trying experiences
when she wished to have made In Par
Is the gown her husband was to use.
The gowns worn there by scientists.
scholars and students differ altogether
from those our justices wear.
In London any clerical tailor would
have understood the kind OF gown de-
sired. but not so in Paris Wherefore.
after many failures, the Justices wife
gave instructions to the fashionable
modiste who made her gowns. This
| modiste was entirely successful In
turning out a gown for the justice.
The Justices gowns. which are al
ways Of the best quality Of silk. cost
upward OF 500. When the supreme
court was first organized the justices
| wore quite gaudy gowns.

A Curious Windstorm.

A peculiar freak OF weather il the
storm called the "williwau." This
form Of storm Is confined to that far
OF island TERRA del Fuego. The coast
Is indented with deep 6ords crowned
with high mountains. Down from
their gorges drops the williwau. A
low. hoarse muttering is heard In the
distance. Suddenly. without the least
preliminary pun. a fearful blast Of
wind drops upon the sea. The water
h not raised into waves. but driven
into fne dust. Fortunately the shock
lasts but ten or twelve seconds. and
calm follows at once, for no vessel
could stand such wind for even half
minute. During the coming and 60
ing Of n williwau the barometer may
be watched to drop a tenth OF an inch
or more and rise again at once.
