HOW SEEDING GOES

Crop progress in the northwest is
going on well in the way of seeding
and in much of Minnesota and the
Dakotas the wheat seeding is about
finished. The ground is generally in
good condition with quite suitable
weather for a start in growth. Cool
weather prevailed which promotes
extension of plant roots without too
great expansion above ground. The
soil Is moist and generally suitable

paration for the later crops.

MAN TOOK
HIS own LIFE
Frank Walker, an Aged Man
of Valley City, Shoots
Himself.

Valley City. N. D., April 27.-Frank
Walker. rs years old, and a resident
OF valley City for nearly twenty-five
years. took his life at his farm home
just west of Valley City.
The deed was committed with the
aid of an old Springfield army rifle,
and when discovered by members of
the family, he was dead. Apparently
death was instantaneous, the bullet
having passed through his skull.
NO motive is apparent for the deed,
and 1t is believed that it was the re-
suit of a temporary attack of in
sanity. MIR. Walkers mind had been
failing for some time. and the county
prom and members of the family
agree hat there was no other cause
Of death.
The suicide took place about 9
o'clock in the morning, shortly after
Mr.. Walker departed for the city
dumping grounds, where. for a num-
Der OF years he has had charge Of
burning all rubbish. He returned to
the GUS in about an hour. and car
ried with him a rifle which had been
hauled to the dumping ground with
other rubbish. Where he secured the
ammunition for the weapon is a y
terry. and the rifle itself was not seen
until found beside his dead body by
a member of the family.
Apparently MIR. Walker used a
small piece of wood to pull the trig-
ger of the gun. The bullet was found
imbedded in the side of the barn just
above his head, where he sat on the
ground to secure better aim.
MIR. Walker was we'll known in
Valley City n Barnes county. His
farm was pre-empted by DIR. Coe
in 1882, but passed into the owner
ship of the Walker family a few years
later.
He is survived by a wife, a daugh-
ter. Mrs. Helen Russell. and a SON,
Frank. who is working the farm.
The arrangements for the funeral
will be made later. After viewing the
body, the coroner, DR.. Pray, decided
that an inquest was not necessary,

London, April 27,-Money and dis

The settlement on the stock ex-
change was concluded with no appar-
ent trouble. although it is believed
that help was given in some quarters.
New business was good. Giltedged
securities were helped by the cheaper
money outlook and foreign shares on
continental advices, but kaffirs were
weakened in the afternoon by Paris
selling. Shipping shares weer active
again. Mexican rails finished weak.
American securities opened quiet

THAT E L

.Chicago-A buldge of 3 cents in
wheat yesterday came as a big sur
prise even to the bulls. 1t was at
triouted to buying by a number of big
local and outside spectators who
claimed to have sensationally bad crop
news. 1t was understood that a large
part OF the late buying was based on
Curtis and company showing 36S,0OO.-
700 bushels with a loss Of 90 per cent
In the acreage. The radical bulls said
after the close that the market was
Just getting started upward despite the
fact that prices are up lee for July
In three weeks. There is a big short
age out in July. as practically all the
sales are short stuff. and it is too early
for any hedging. The bulls said they
saw evidence of further advances as
the trade is beginning to realize the
Importance Of the losses in the soft
winter wheat states and its probable
influence on the Chicago market.
Corn.
Gossip of the corn trade favored a
moderate recession in values yesterday
as the activity in wheat is drawing
speculation to that market and in May
1t was as the activity in wheat is
drawing speculation to that market
and in May 1t was a case Of evening
up the bulls taking profits and the
shorts limiting their losses. Practical

The bulls are not looking for a per-
manent increase in receipts and say
that higher prices for July will be nee

B%RADSTREET AND
DUN REPORT
Conditions Better in Most
all Departments of Trade
Exports Increase.

New York. April 27.-Bradstreets
says today:
Trade reports are irregular in tenor
With here and there streaks OF dis.
appointment, but on the whole the
trend is in n satisfactory direction.
Retail trade has been impeded to a
considerable extent by the Backward
ness of the season, and in fact job
bers as Well as wholesale dealers are
now watching its pulse beat in order
to gauge probable future effects on
markets, as distinguished from the
lesser centers, woolens and worsteds
are firm. supplementary and dupli-
cate orders for staples being the fea-
ture. But otherwise demand for dry
goods seems to ave receded. Indeed,
the dry goods trade in general re-
ports that untoward weather has hurt
retail trade. and jobbers as we'll as
ronverters say final purveyors are ex-
ercising more or less caution. job
bers have not been able to get the
full increases enforced by the manu-
facturers, wherefore they are inclin-
ed TO attribute whatever degree of
quiet has developed in trade to price
advances, but the mills being in a sat
isfactory position as regards book
ings. are not disposed to credit such
views.
Pig Iron Strong.
Enlarged buying of pig iron. heavy
orders for finished materials and fur
Their STRENGTHENING in prices furnish
the feature of the week.

ing about fair for the country as n

Dun's Report.

New York. April 27.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade today
says:
That the recent Improvement in
the volume of trade is fully MAIN
tanned is evidenced by the latest stat
istics. These proofs of business ac-
tivity are all the more significant be-
cause weather conditions have not
been altogether favorable to distribu-
ton and retail trade has, in particu-
lar. been somewhat checked as a con-
sequence.
Although there is some shading of
prices on structural material where
desirable contracts are involved. the
iron n steel situation as a whole
reflects increased strength.
Mill Conditions Better.
Specifications continue at a good
rate and the larger plants are still
operating at approximately 80 per
cent Of capacity. In the Pittsburgh
district some of the smaller mills are
working only part time. but general
~ conditions are improved. Revised
estimates of the amount of steel bars
taken by agricultural interests place
the total at about 300, 900 tons and
quotations are now on the basis of
S1.2O Pittsburgh. Plates and shapes
are also 'lrmer. although prices are
largely nominal as consumers cover
ed their requirements to a large ex-
tent before the advance. Large or
ders for steel cars and railway equip:
ment are absent Just at present, but
a heavy volume OF business was car
ried over from last year and car
plants are fairly busy. Moderate ac-
tivity appears in pig iron.
Dry Goods Fair.
The frmness in cotton and wooden
goods continues and advances are
being made in cotton yarns. Wealth
or conditions have beer against an
active expansion in retail trade in
fabrics. but it is generally agreed that
business is on 4 satisfactory price ba-
sis. Wash fabrics are in request for
quick shipment, shirtings being sold
for spot. fall and spring delivery and
there is a steady Improvement in the
call for hosiery and underwear. FIX
port shipments of cotton goods are
large while some small sales of heavy
goods were made for China shipment
during the week.. The we'll sold con-
ditions in mems wear mills are note
worthy. some concerns turning away
business because of their inability to
guarantee delivery.
Trading In footwear continues to
