The Markets

Wheat was moving at the Merchants
Exchange in Portland yesterday. All
offers were grabbed up and the price
reached the summit for the year. Club
sold at $ll3 and bluestem went to
$1.l6.
The buying was largely on account Of
California mills. The country sales
were large, 100000 bushels ghanging
hands on the basis Of the Portland mar
ket. Oats continue firm ON the strength
of the demand for foreign markets
Barley is also strong from the same
cause. The English apple market SIM
ply isn't on account Of vast supply
from Nova Scotia and other points
Considerable hop business is reported
at prevailing prices, around 10 cents,
The market is well supplied with poul-
try, creamery products and vegetables,
all excepting eggs, and prices are nom.
inal. For eggs the demand is still far
ahead Of the supply and prices remain
high. They are quoted in Portland at
40 cents for candled.
In Chicago immense export sales Of
wheat are reported, probably the larg.
est ever known. The price was about
a cent above the closing Saturday, rang.
ing from $l.l3 to $l.l4 3.4. The de.
mand from France was the most con.
spicuous and all wheat eenters tell the
same story of strong demand and the
grabbing Of everything offered,

HAVING A GOOD EFFECT.

From all over the country comes
the news of the excellent effect on
business of the interstate commerce
ruling granting to the eastern rail-
roads increased freight rates. AS one
railroad man put 1T, the sentimental
effect Of the decision is Of far more
Importance than the actual increase
Of receipts to the roads con possibly
be. This is proving true. Business
men are feeling encouraged. The rail-
roads are we'll pleased. because the
actual increase in their income will
be considerable, and beyond that, the
decision establishes their credit more
firmly, and places them in 4 position
whore they can see their way to do
things which they did not feel war
rsnted in doing before. The stimulus
Is felt directly, also, by the large con-
Germs which manufacture and deal in
railroad supplies Of all kinds, for they
see prospects Of orders ahead Of
them. All of this means the employ
nent Of more men. and this In turn
eXcrts an influence which extends to
every branch uf industry. The dccis-
ion is causing many men who were
talking calamity to talk prosperity In
stead, and this is worth more than
all else.

CHRISTMAS EVE CLOSING.

The example set by the Grand
Forks merchants in closing their
stores early on Christmas eve is being
followed by others in many parts Of
the state, and announcements have
been made in many cities and villages
that business would be closed in good
season on that evening in order to
give every one. proprietors, clerks
and customers alike, an opportunity
to enter upon the great holiday In a
fit condition to enjoy it.
There is something worthy of con-
sideration in the suggestion that a
similar plan might be followed with
excellent effect by churches and 9TH
er organizations which hold Christ
mas entertainments of various kinds.
These entertainments are usually in
tended for little children, and they
attract many. Too often they continue
until late hour. with the result that
the little people are out later than is
good for them. This does not con-
duce to good rest. nor to good condi-
ton next morning, and doubtless
much OF the fretfulness and "naught-
mess" of children before Christmas
doy Is over is attributable to the fact
that the children were worn out be-
fore the day began.
1t might be we'll if the plan were
followed Of reserving Christmas eve
as a time in which to get properly
ready for Christmas. If this were done
the holidays would be productive of
a good deal more real happiness.

vt state pride that the people of Min
nesota are generous to the just needs
Of the university. 1t returns to them
many fold every dollar spent upon. it.
Nor is this return wholly or even
largely cultural. 1t is manifested in u
hundred practical ways. The engineers
who build bridges and power plants
and public works. who superintend
mines and work out electrical install
lations: the crop and dairy and live
stock experts who arc raising the
standard OF farming in Minnesota:
the teachers who help educate the
young: the physicians and dentists
who conserve the peoples health
these. to name but q few Of the prod
ucts OF the university, are examples
of the practical nature Of its work.

Is the narrow view. For it is also
a great benefit to the whole state
The blessings of it's work extend far
beyond even the state lines. 1t is not

institution at all. II would make lit
tie difference to Minneapolis if no
new buildings went up on the cam

lack Of facilities for the rapidly
growing student body affected the

practical work has had so large and
benehcent influence OH the farming

Neither are its three branches which
aid in this work at Crookston, Morris
and Grand Rapids. The university
extension work covers the whole state.
In short. the university is reaching
out in every practical way to serve
and help the people Of the state.
1T will be granted at the out
set, Of course, that expenditures
for the university should never be
permitted to take on wasteful-
nees. Waste never helps any
cause. Tho past policy has been
progressive. Keep it that way"

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

II is generally admitted that the
'r.e of expert testimony in lawsuits is
pretty much a farce. Highly skilled
and well informed professional men
are employed by each side Those
on one side express one opinion.
Those on the other side express di-
rectly contrary opinion. Then the
jury, which is not made up OF cx-
perts. and often Of men who are OF
less than average intelligence. are ex-
Dected to reconcile these opinions, or
to decide between them, on matters
involving the most intricate and tech
nical subjects. Naturally, in most
cases. the opinions of the experts are
disregarded. and the jurors go at the
thing by rule Of thumb, and do the
best they can.
In the famous Thnw case. which
has just been given another turn,
eminent specialists declared positively
that Thaw was sane; other men,
equally eminent. declared with equal
positivencss. that he was insane. This
acrt of thing is occurring continually,
and 1t is no wonder that jurics are
mystifled.
1t is unfortunately true that there
arc to be found men who stand high
in honorable professions who will sell
their testimony. But all the conflict
among experts is not due to this.
Opinions, among honest men. arc bas-
;,, I, ri
Interpretation Of facts. Temperament,
training and many other things enter
into the subject, and this accounts for
amy Of the disagrcements which are
found Most of the men who are
likely to be called as experts in inn
lortant cases are on record through
books. lectures, and in other ways,
on the subjects OH which their tcsti-
nony is likely to be desired, and it is
not difficult for skilled attorney to
ascertain in advance pretty nearly
what sort of opinion lie may expect
from given man. 1t only remains,
then, to pick the right men.
There is suggestion that experts
should be chosen, not by the attor-
neys, but by the judge. And, in view
Ut the fact that the testimony of these
men is usually away over the heads
Of the average set Of jurors, it might
not be a bad idea either to have the
questions discussed by the experts
finally passed OH by the judge. or else
to require that the jury in such cases
shall be of specially picked men.
