Liverpool. March 1S.-The market
opened steady with prices unchanged
and offers light with good support on
the decreasing stocks and the firmness

q half pence advance. Following the
opening there was heavy covering by

Iative buying with London buying
heavily in this market and prices ad-
vanced sharply gaining Id for March
and May with July Ad higher. It is
feared that the coal strike will delay
Argentine shipments after March 81

the outlook is very apprehensive. Crop
advices from India are less favorable
and the continent is bidding freely

LEWIS ENJOYED
SPLENDID TRIP
ROBERT 8. LEWIS RETURNED
FROM WEST INDIAN TRIP THIS
MORNING FEELING FINE AND.
SAYS he HAD ONE OF THE
FINEST TRIPS or HIS LIFE.

"While / enjoyed my trip through
the West Indies immensely returned
to the continent feeling content to
spend the balance Of my days in
America" said r. s. Lewis, former
lieutenant governor Of North Dakota
who recently withdrew from the may
orality race to be decided at the polls
tomorrow.
I'VE had most delightful time, .
he continued. There were no storms
Of any kind to mar the pleasure Of our
trip. We wene through Cuba Porto
Rico, Jamica and visited many OF the
West Indian islands. From there we
sailed across to get a glimpse Of the
Panama canal and then went down
the northern coast Of the South Amer
lean continent and took a look at
Caracas, Venezeula.
Needless to say every member OF
the party enjoyed every moment OF
the trip fully as much as mySif Ny
daughter stopped in washington and
returned to National Park seminary
and Mrs. Lewis accompanied me as far
as Minneapolis where she stopped to
visit my daughter who resides there.
Ny son, Roy, is taking a little trip
through Virginia with friend he met
in Washington and will probably be
home in a few days"
Mr.. Lewis arrived in the city this
morning and was greeted by many of
his friends on the streets today, among
whom was Governor Burke with whom
he served at the state capitol during
the governors first two terms. The
two gentlemen had quite a pleasant
chat on Broadway.

Grain Opinions.

Lamson Bros. & Co.-The wheat
market is in a much healthier condi-
tion than before the recent break and
believe that in case further breaks to
or below a dollar market are forced
there will be another Opportunity for
good investments
Ware & Leland-The rallies. in
wheat are feeble and simply represent
covering by timid shorts but general
conditions in our opinion call for low
er prices. We continue to look for
lower levels for corn and for the pres
ent suggest sales on the minor bulges.
Logan & Bryan-Possibly there will
be further lowering Of corn. prices if
springlike weather spreads Of the corn
belt. Chas. e. Lewis e. Co.

Referring to the election The Mime

sence was elected.
Miss Comstock became an instruc-

Evaninn erin I.etter.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 1s. W"~eat: The
market opened fractionaiiy higher, but
quickly lost the early advance, rauying
sharply later on oversold pit conditions
and the strength in corn The visible
supply statement showed decrease
Of i,ss5,O00 bushels; local stocks de-
creased $1,000 bushels. Today's rally
is a natural sequence Of the recent de-
cline. There is nothing, however, in
the cash situation at the moment to
encourage holders. Reports from the
central west indicate that the snow Is
going off the ground very rapidly oW-
ing to the milder weather. The same
condition is, doubtless, current east OF
the river and with little growing
weather we are likely to hear some re-
ports of winter killing in the latter
section. We, therefore, feel that pur-
chases Of July wheat on the weak spots
are advisable. Chas. E. Lewis & Co.

PRACTICAL THINGS
WORTH KNOWING.

When the fire bricks of stove have
burned away, good substitute to use
until new bricks are obtained can be
made by mixing one part salt with two
parts OF coal ashsa wetEine 1t with
water. Apply to the inside of the
stove in place of the IRE bricks. 1t
hardens in a few hours.
There is another sort OF "nra briclS'
---one that is used for keeping fire
with hall the quantity OF Goals. This
Is made by mixing one part each OF
charcoal. coal. sawdnst and clay or
mari with two parts of sand OF any
kind. This is then wet sufTicientIy to
mass into bricks or balls OF conyen-
lent size. TO use. place them on the
fire when it is suficiently strong, aft
er 1T has been well started with Goals,
and they will produce heat consider
ably more intense than common fuel,
and should require no stirring or at
tention for ten hours.
Mutton tallow is appreciated by all
housewives for it's healing properties
when rendered and applied to chafed
surfaces, Another use is to make can
dies of It. TO do this. melt ten ounces
of mutton tallow. q quarter OF an
ounce Of camphor. four ounces of
beeswax and two ounces of alum: use
the hiring and dip or mold them
they furnish beautiful light
Strips Of canton flannel three times
the width OF your lamp wick may be
fashioned into a good wick by folding
them with the deecy side In into a
three-fold strip and overcasing them
up the side OF tta edge.
To raise the nap on cloth that has
become shiny first soak 1t in cold wa
tr and rub it with a small coarse bris-i
tie brush.

Country cOrrsspondenes.

A subscriber asks that the following
editorial from The Miles City Stock
journal be given space:
It is hardly necessary to say that
all newspapers having q country cir
culation welcome what is known as
Country correspondence" wherein the
local news of each small community
is told, and through the medium OF
the newspaper, circulated through 9TH
er localities; and recognizing the in
terest that Is taken in this class OF
news, The Journal always has, and
always find a place for 1t. But il must
be clean and newSy, and free frorn any
personal reference that is calculated to
wound or annoy.
1t is sometimes the habit OF the
country correspondent. TO use his
leave to print" in the telling of some
Joke that has one OF his neighbors
for the butt of it, and which. though
productive of Inerriment to some iw
offensive to others. In other instances
the friendly relations between men
end women are slightingIy or hunaor-
ously commented on, all by way of a
joke of course, but offensive to some.
In no case should names be mentioned
except in the plain relation of news
items. Comment on peoples action
especially if it be friendly, is not the
correspondents privilege; no more
than 1t is in the city reporters All
newspapers want the news. but how-
ever newsy IL is. it 10 not acceptablel
If colored with the prejudice or spleen
of the reporter.
These remarks are prompted ty an
untimatum delivered to Tha J6url,aI
last week by an occasional corraspoi,-
dent. One OF his communications had
been damaged as he thought bv the
excision OF an item of a distinctly per-s
sonai nature, and so he sent word with
his next communication that if we did
not publish all we need not publish
any OF it, and as there was in tiaia iant
communication something that wa
would have to Aedit" ana tone down.
we were ccnpelle the terms
OF the uittmatum- m--to put the whole
thing in the waste basket, and have
perhaps lost q correspondent who
would have been desirable IL he could
avoid the temptation to "put aone-s
ting over" on his neighbor, iast be II
cause he had the privilege Of 'sgettinsI
into print"
The Journal would like to have Il,
correspondent in every center Of pop3
uiation In the county, hut only under
the conditions laid down here. ce

in ouEsT or sEED POTATOES.
Representatives of Southern Growers
Looking for Themselves.


1t begins TO look as though some
buyers in the south and central west
have been toying with the hope OF
lower prices for the best potato seed
stock, Red River Ohios, grown in this
country, until they are too late to OBJ
tain the supply they need, or that
they will have to pay a great deal
more for seed now than il they had
secured a supply several weeks 20
at the prices then quoted and which
buyers vowed they would not pay, not
withstanding they were told emphati-
cally that there had been no attempt
to establish unnatural prices, that the
quotations were based simply on the
inevitable law OF supply. and demand.
For high grade seed spuds $1.2O
was paid TO growers last Friday and
Saturday, 80 cents buslel more than
was paid six weeks ago and Is to 90
cents in advance Of the prices quoted
to buyers a month ago.
Buyers east and south seem to think
that the Clay county association Is
to blame for the initiation of prices,
but local growers say it is nothing of
the sort, that there are a lot OF peo-
pie in sore need OF good potatoes, that
they must have them and have In
timated that they are willing to pay
for them. Two southern growers in
the city today were John f. Artman
and O. r. Harden of orick, Mo-, and
their mission is to view the potato
situation in the Red river valley for
themselves.

A Joy Riding Lobby.

1t appears that there is a joy rid
ing lobby at Baton Rouge more per-
nicious in its evil effects than the
lobby which is said to convince
some men against their wills. The
current story at Baton Rouge is that
& number of the members of the
General Assembly have been unduly
remiss in their observance of good
morals, or in palmer words, have
been too gay with women of ques-
tiOnable repute. There has been a
threat of public exposure, but the
culprits are to be shielded for the
sake of their families. It has been
said that there are many ways of
entangling the legislator who is
weak and susceptible of flattery
when money fails to persuade
women may be the medium of in
ducements, and as a rule the weak
brothers become the tool of design
ing men.
