Eveninu Grain Letter,

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-Wheat opened
firm on the Liverpool cable and
strength in coarse grains and held a
shade below opening figures until late
in the session, when shorts pressed
their advantage, longs sold and a
quick break of &c took place which
carried prices into new ground. The
principal cause Of the decline, how
ever. was the growing apathy of buy
erS both of cash wheat and flour, this
being due to the uncertainty engen-
dered by the tariff changes. The lack
of export demand and the ~underselling
Of Canadian holders also added to the
beaTish sentiment. There is not a
doubt but that shorts have materially
increased their lines on this decline
n the market tonight is technically
stronger position for holders. Wheat
is very low in price and is now tn 4
cheapest foOdstuff on top of ground.
We believe present prices warrant
purchases.
Corn started off bravely bent on
reaching higher ground. Leading hold
ers bought ehavily an da firmer tone
developed. On the advance profession
ais sold and commission houses fol-
lowed and prices quickly lost their
early gains. The cash corn market
showed decided evidences of better
ment and the country movement
showed that it was on the down grade.
The weakness in wheat was against
corn and it gave a very good account
of itself considering this fact. Lead
ing holders seem confident of their po-
SitiOn n we would not be surprised
to see a quick recovery of the lost
ground especially if wet weather con-
tinues over the belt until Monday.

MOORHFAD NORMAL

The Moorhead Normal school re-
sumed work after the summer vaca-
ton with an attendance considerably
greater than at the corresponding
time last year.
The personnel of the school is of
much satisfaction to those interested
in the normal school work. The pres
sent students are especially we'll in
structed and are in advance in edu-
cational attachments. These facts in
dictate no doubt. that the normal
school Is attracting students of abili-
ty n that the schools from which
the students come, are finer and more
efficient than ever before. At pres
ent there are many high school gradu-
ates taking work to secure advanced
diplomas, and others with elementary
diplomas seeking the same end. This
unusually large and CAPABLE group
of students makes it's influence ap-
parent in all the work and social
activities calling for talent and abili-
ty.
The newly organized kindergarten is
one Of the most interesting things in
the model school. The new department
was busily at work. Tuesday morn
ing, with about thirty children rang
ing in age from 4 to 6 years. Moth
ing could be more cheering than the
assembly of little people who were
beginning that morning the lone road
that modern education requires them
to follow. Miss Osgood, with several
assistants, had everything arranged.
The material equipment is par excel
lence; it is the best to be had. Henry
Mueller takes the children back and
forth from home and school; so they
are in perfect safety from the moment
they leave their doors till they re-
turn. Many visitors have called to see
the children at work, and all those
who are interested in this new school
are invited to visit the kindergarten.
