Chicago, June 5.-Bear's comments
on the wheat situation were very
numerous last night, the demoralza-
ton in Wall street, talk of tight money
market and Of wheat being put on the
free list combined with a belief that
there has not been enough damage in
! the southwest to warrant good bull
movement and that We will have a
crop of around 475,000,00O bushels win
ter wheat, all contributing to make a
! bearish sentiment and as the price was
flower the disposition was to magnify
everything of a depressing nature.
J. Yesterdays advance to the highest of
season for corn prices brought out
larger offerings from the country and
induced most Of the local longs to take
profits. Traders said that taking all
things into consideration corn prices
hold remarkably well. Cash sales were
285,000 bushels wheat; 100000 bushels
corn; and 100000 bushels oats Char

his connection with the First Congre-
gational church of Fargo where he
was often in attendance. DR.. Beard
spoke Of the stimulating influence of
having Mr.. Huntoon in the congrega-
tion, and Of his help in the choir.
In concluding his remarks, DIR. Beard
said in part Of Mr.. Huntoon, "He was
man who, radiated warmth and sun
shine and brotherliness wherever he
went. In some ways he was just a
great, big over grown boy, so jolly
was he, and full Of innocent pranks.
Not only has his wife lost a loving
husband, and his daughters an affec-
tionate father, but they have lost a
big brother, who loved to romp and
play with them.
ITO all these attractive and lovable
personal qualities were added those
strong and virile qualities of mind and
heart which fitted him so we'll for
places of public trust.
HE was a princely man, man
whose sympathies were world wide.
He was a big man in every sense of
the word. His bigness OF body was
matched by a big brain and a big
heart. Had his life been spared he
would have become widely known as
a constructive philanthropist, and a
builder of the best things in religion.
in education and in social betterment
of every kind.
His innate modesty was such that
he had only just fairly begun to find
himself and to get that confidence in
himself which is SO necessary to ones
highest usefulness.''
