killer OF the winter wheat belt has
opened an ONCE for business at an
unusually early date and his advices
were In evidence on the Board OF
Trade today and while they attracted

advance, are the ones who arc re-

the wheat plant for twenty-five years

Winnipeg 500 cars, which compare
with 1876 and lot cars, respectively a
year ago.
a great deal Of corn was sold last
fail and early winter for January and
February shipment and for this reason
the receipts at primary markets are
likely to continue heavy until this crop
Ia delivered.
The railroads have promised adj
ditional motive power and II Is ex-
pected that the corn now ready to be
loaded will find its way to points OF
distribution In the near future.
The country Is not selling Its oats
as actively as was the case d few
weeks ago and this condition has been
partially offset by the fact that the
East Is not taking any great amount
OF this grain.
Many long in the May future are
disposed to take profits and this fact
has doubtless kept prices from adj
vancing sharply under the big demand
which has been seen at times.
An irregular and unsettled market
prevailed in all the pits on the Board
of Trade today with fractional losses
shown all around.

WE'RE RDCAPTURED.

Finding q good opportunity, four
white convicts confined In the tubcr-
culosis pavilion Of the State pcni-

day morning. but two Of them were
CAPTURED In four hours after making
the escape. Steven Farson and Brown
Angel are still at large. but will be

fell asleep at his post ana allowed tho
men to make good their escape. They
had been atliberty for about twenty
minutes before they were missed by
the guards.
Tho prison blood hounds were i'm
mediately put on the trail. but were
soon almost exhausted. Hart and
Stern. the two convicts CAPTURED
had covered ten miles before they
were overtaken by the officials and
had to be taken back to the farm on
horses.
An investigation will follow to find
