225 STEADY AND QUIET CLOSE IN JULY WHEAT Good Cash Demand Helped Sustain the Price, but the Close Was Easy. DECREASE IN LOCAL STOCKS Some Storm Damage in the North mit, but Nothing Very Ma terial—General New*. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, June 29.—The wheat market closed the week -with out material change in the general tones that has ruled for several days* and with July wheat fre« from any unusual development at the end. September wheat was a trifle lower, selling to 64c early and rallying to 64%@ 64% c later. July opened %c oft at 63% c, sold to 63% c, touched 63%@63Hc, and closed at The strength In cash wheat Is sustaining to the general market and had some effect In booming the July option for a day or two. This demand comes from local millers and from export buyers as well. Another mod erate sized lot was reported worked to-day j to come out of local stocks for Liverpool, go- Ing via Soo line through Gladstone. Termin als show a decrease tor the week of 871,765 bushels an dthe total now stands at 10,623, --900. With the heavy grinding by the mills and their demand upon stocks for milling wheat above what they find offered on the cash tables, and the good outside demand, it is the general belief that local stocks will be down to a minimum when the new wheat begins to move. The weather map shows clear and hot weather through the winter wheat and corn belt, light showers through the Dakotas and Minnesota and Wisconsin. There were some unusual maximum temperatures in the west and southwest yesterday, 100 at Kansas City, 100 at Omaha, 104 at Concordia, 98 at Wich ta, 96 at Dodge. Some damage reports were receved from northwestern points as result of yesterday's storm. The prediction is for cloudy weather and possibly local showers in South Dakota. Minnesota has fair weather and light showers predicted. Broomhall cables that the weather in the U. K. is bril liant generally and present indications pont to a crop of about same sze as that of last year. From rFance come more scattered complaints and the crop Is undoubtedly a lit tle short. In Germany the crop Is improv ing but it must be short no matter how fa vorable the condtlons may be from now to harvest. In Italy and Spain the crop will not equal expectations. Liverpool closed %@ %& lower. Paris closed equal to %c lower. Primary receipts were 551,000 bushels and shipments 761,000, against 522,000 and 99,000 a year ago. Wheat and flour clearances were 454,600 bushels, corn 510,000 bushels. Minne apolis receipts were 231 cars, against 273 last year and Duluth had 54 cars, against 55 laat year. The local market closed steady at 63% c for July, and 64% c for September. Chicago closed September at 66ftc. THE FLOUR MARKET Very Satisfactory Week — Heavy Grinding and Large Sales. Millers report the past week as one of the most satisfactory periods experienced In the trade for some time. Stocks were light pre vious to the late heavy wheat decline, and on the new basis they have been replenished In good part. The mills are grinding heavily and it is expected part of the capacity will be operated over to-morrow. Sales are fully up to the output and some millers are heavily oversold. Foreign demand shows a marked Improvement. There has been practically no change In the cash wheat basis since June 22, and prices are firm and steady as quoted.

The Morning Post has also searched its nineteenth century files with interesting results. In 1800 this paper was sold for sixpence, of which sum the government took three halfpence In stamp duty. It is impossible to read the fashion para graphs of Dec. 31, 1800, without recall ing Lamb's essay on "Newspapers Thirty flve Years Ago," and without being at the same time reminded of the personal paragraph of to-day, in which the change of tone is, after all, very alight. We read: "Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton, on their return from Fonthill, alighted at the mayor's in Salisbury, where they re- j galed themselves with bread and cheese and porter, in preference to more sump tuous fare. "His majesty yesterday morning rode out on horseback, the ground being too hard for taking the diversion of hunting. "Sir Hyde Parker's honeymoon is only to last three weeks, when he must re turn to his command in the Channel fleet, having left his lady the oons&lation of an annuity of £2,000 in case of an acci dent. "Several of the Irish members in the imperial parliament are outbidding each other for Mrs. Jordan's late residence in Somerset street. "Grlmaldi's Punch, in the pantomime at Drury Lane, can only be equalled by Byrne's elegant performance of the 'Gen tleman of the Wooden Sword.' "The Earl of Essex is called the Bona parte of the Partridges in Hertfordshire this year, having made a battle of Maren go among them almost every day. "By the last packet which came from Lisbon we noted the seasonable arrival of Mr. Winter." IRREGULAR. Puck. First Ghost (impatiently)—l declare, I bave waited her* half an hour for Mr. Thing host. with whom I had an engagement. Second Ghost—Oh, you can't place any reli ance in Thlnghost.

BUT CONFIDENCE IS UNSHAKEN Foreign Wheat Short Active Iron Trade, Etc., Foreshadow Con tinned Prosperity. New York, June 29.—The failure of the Seventh National bank and of the stock ex change house of ; H. Marquand & Co., have served to aggravate, the money market dis turbance against collateral and the calling of loans have run the. money rate up and | thrown stocks upon the market. The bank-: ing troubles in Germany have induced some; liquidation also from that quarter. The sell ing was not excessive and was quite .well ab sorbed on account of the underlying general confidence In the future. The foreign wheat shortage, insuring large requirements for the large crops promised, the active iron trade, and the large railroad traffic and earnings are factors ■ foreshadowing continued prosperity. QUIET AND STEADY To-day's Market Closes With Prices Near the Top. New York, June 29.—Trading in stocks was ': brisk at the opening at fractional net gains, with a few exceptions. Atchißon and Union Pacific were in good demand and were helped by higher prices from London. Among the i minor stocks Chicago & Alton preferred and lowa Central preferred rose 1% each, and North American a point. Realizing sales caused a Blight set-back in some leading stocks, but there were good gains at other points, resulting in confused trading. Illinois Central and Tennessee Coal were marked up 1% each on active buying, and North-Western common and preferred and North American were two points higher. Rock Island rose to 158 and the rights brought 10%@11%. After the first half hour there was a more general demonstration of strength, the trunk line group gaing good fractions, and Texas Pacific, St. Louis & San Francisco second preferred. Cleveland, Cin cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis, Larlede Gas and General Electric moving up I©4 points, with the last-mentioned leading. Quite a good business was done In stocks In anticipation of the bank statement, the corn carrying grangers figuring conspicuously on crop prospects. Illinois Central rose 3%, St. Paul 3% and Rock Island 2%. Tennessee Coal rose 3% and New York Air Brake 4. Gains of a point were secured by a sprinkling of prom inent stocks. Realizing cost prices some small fractions, but the closing was quiet and steady near the top. Stock quotations reported for The Journal ! by Watson & Co., brokers, Chamber of Com merce, Minneapolis.

New York Sun. "We sometimes come across queer de velopments concerning the forgery of paintings," said a landscape artist in the ' course of conversation with a party of j friends. "By forgery, of course, I mean j the painting of a picture over some other I artist's name. „ "I'll tell you a trite story which shows j how safe the business is considered when i carried on in the right way. The dealer who worked this scheme had a genuine work by a great French landscape paint- j er exhibited in his store. One day a i westerner bought it for a good round sum. j "The art man closed the deal with j relish, but again began to feel opposed to \ parting with the treasure as soon as the customer was outside the door. The ■■ painting was not to be delivered until ' three or four days later. He quickly had It taken out of its frame and sent to a j clever pot-boiler who had served him be- j fore. In three days the pot-boiler had a copy which, considering time and circum- i stances, was a marvel. This copy went j west and the dealer kept his treasure. "The trick came oft *© prettily that the! dealer decided to try it over again. It \ sounds like a fairy tale, and yet it is true that he sold that same landscape to , twelve different persons and delivered it j to all of them, and yet he has the original in his own private collection— decided that the latter plan would prove safer. in the long run than the store, as one of j the twelve customers might return for another bargain. "What did the pot-boiler make out of that?" asked one of his hearers. ■'■■■}.''-:< "Not much," the artist said. "He struck for a raise each time * the original came back to him, but I don't suppose he got more than $12 or $15 for the first copy." "Ever heard of Snakes?" inquired an other artist in the party. "The king of pot-boilers?" asked the first. "That's the one. . He's in a lunatic asy lum now. It's a queer story. The man began to think that he was somebody. i His fakes were so clever that he lost i his equilibrium and stiffened the prices ' more than the dealer fancied. The latter said nit and quit giving orders, although the step caused him regret. . "Snakes threatened and actually went so far as to tell his story to several in terested persons. Evidence was the one thing they all demanded. Had they only been able to get that the dealer would have had a hot time of it. But there was only the word %t Snakes to go by— and he wasn't always quite sober when he i told his incriminating tale. Besides, he had never signed any of the co-pies he made. "The art dealer had been cunning enough to let another man put in that finishing touch. Why, there are men who ; do nothing else \ but put signatures to Bpurious masterpieces, either imported or home-made, and who get from $5 to $20 for each job. That's an art, too, and some of them are very good at it. And to have the 'right twist to the signature 13 con sidered so important by/the dealers that those who are clever .in that way get more than the pot-boilers who make the pictures." ' '»%. ,-Z... , "And how about Snakes?" "Oh, nothing came out of his squeal but hard times to himself. Other dealer* heard of the story and turned him down. He had shirked too long to be able to make a living by -legitimate work. And he was too proud to try, strange to say, even when in his cups. Results: slow starvation, wandering mind, still less money; whisky and cigarettes substituted for food, complete bughouse, arrest and transportation to Ward's Island." 'jl RARE BOOKS They Are Sore to Turn Up ''Second- Hand" Sooner or Later. New York Tribune. "It is a bookseller's maxim," said one of the leading dealers in New York the other day, "that there is no book, how- i ever insignificant and out of date, which' he cannot sell sooner or later, and which! ; somebody won't come into his shop and ; ' ask for.No book is ever really entirely | j dead.

I never come I across a copy of it anywhere without buy . it, certain that sooner or later it will be called for. Sometimes I have two or j three copies on hand; at other times I have two or three orders for it not filljgd. Scarcely a month goes by without bring ing a call for it. Some passing reference to the subject may be made in a news paper, and the result is a demand for the —generally from out of the way places in the country, where newspapers are read carefully. >■•'•;; j - "There was a queer old bo^ published here many years ago by one iauvel-Gou raud, called 'Phreno-mnemotechny'; it was the first of the treatises on cultivat ing the memory by artificial methods. All | at once, not long ago, I had calls for it from strangely remote places in the south and west, all at nearly the same time. I thought they must have had some com ! mon origin; and finally a chance refer i ence in one of my letters of inquiry I showed me that it was. A certain leading ; journal in the south had had a purely in- j i cidental passing allusion to the book in j one of its editorials. The widely scat j tered places from which inquiries about i it came, I thought, furnished a pretty j strong testimony to the circulation of the 1 paper. v "As for the difficulty of obtaining a scarce book, it is to be remembered that no book is ever really out of the market for good until it finds a resting place in : some endowed public library. A book that is sold to a collector will disappear per haps for ten ; years, perhaps for a longer time; but it always reappears sooner or ) later, when it may bring twice as much j or half as much as its last purchaser paid, depending on the developments that have taken place since in the book market, in the tastes and desires of collectors and in the general financial situation. But when it is finally purchased for the account of I a great public library, then, of course, it ■ is withdrawn from any further considera tion as a possible factor in the trade." THE BOWERY. Judge.

" !■M.- ■ ■ ' .' ] Hog Market Uneven, but With Good Demand in General. THE WEEK'S BUSINESS REVIEWED Stackers Firm—Butcher Cattle Fair ly Steady—Veal in Good Sale. . South . St. Paul, June 29. HOGS—The general marketing of hogs this week was not quite so large as last week, but was considerably in excess of a year ago. At the five leading markets, receipts ag gregated about 327,600, against 336,300 for the week previous, 390,ti00 for the corresponding week a month ago and 250,300 for the cor responding week a year ago. Since Jan. 1, receipts at these five market points aggregate about 9,071,900, against 8,592,700 for the cor responding period a year ago cr an increase of 479,200. Receipts here totaled about 9,200 against 10,086 for the same week before, 10,519 for the same' week a month ago and 11,508 for the same week a year ago. The! tendency of the market has been very un even and while the closing prices do not show any material hanges from prices at the close last week yet fluctuations early in the week were on a range of from 5 to ,10c difference." The demand here has been ex ceptionally gocd and particularly for light | weights, or kinds weighing frem 160 to ISO I pounds for which packers are paying prices | relatively as high as medium and heavies ! are selling at in other markets. The bulk ; of offerings averaged frcm £10 to 250 pound™ jin weight and a large percentage consisted of rather undesirable quality. At the close ! the bulk sold from $5.95 to $6.00, or about 2%c to 5c above the close last week, about 40c [above the low point Wednesday, May 22, when the bulk sold from $5.65 to $6.57, -and ' only a shade under the high point reached j Monday, April 15, when the range was from $5.95 to $6.00. I BUTCHER CATTLE— of cattle at ! the five big markets during the past week aggregate about 119,000, against 113,500 for , the week before, 122,600 for the corresponding j week 1 a month ago, end 113,700 for. the cor responding week a year ago. The total number received here was about 3,500, against 2,608 for the -previous week, 3,164 for the same J week a month ago and 5,952 for the same week a year ago. While the supply of killing cattle has been considerably lighter than th 1 actual wants of the local trade, yet the gen eral tendency on, all kinds, excepting "strictly choice" corn-fed beef steers, has been weak In sympathy with 15c to 25c breaks in values east. The weakness here, however, was only nominal and aside from one or two instances, the trade was generally willing to pay prices about even with last week's close, and 2Cc to 25c under prices early last week. The de mand was very strong for choice, corn-fed beeves, but the supply was limited to only three loads and they were not what might jbe called finished, but sold Wednesday at I $5.50. They were about the same quality as ', sold at $5.60 two and three weeks ago. Prices on these are about 10c under the best time two and three weeks ago. Veal calves have been in very keen demand and at the close choicst ones are quoted from $5.25 to $5.50, or 25c to 50c above last week' 3 close. Butcher cows and heifers and particularly kinds showing grass are anywhere from 3dc to 50c lower than four weeks ago with some cases where sellers are even quoting more STOCKERS AND FEEDERS-The stocker and feeder trade this week developed an un ! satisfactory tone' and at times toward the close, trade was very sluggish, particularly in kinds that did not show quality. R3 ceipts in this division were nearly 1,000 larger than last week and the fact that the wants of the trade did not show a conespocding increase, had a tendency to cause a rather i/n«ven market. Outside markets generally quoted declines in values and, while the de mand here was only limited, yet it was al most entirely for the better quality kinds. There were not enough good desirable little stock steers and heifers on sale to satisfy their wants and as a result prices held fully steady in the face of declines both east and south. Heavier feeding steers, or kinds weighing more than 700 and without quality, were very slow sale. Prices on all common to fair kinds were 10c to 15c lower than the close a week ago. One buyer has an order for several ear-loads of choice quality feed ing steers weighing from 700 pounds up at prices around $4.00, but aside from this, the wants of the trade run largely for good to choice Httle stock steers and heifers. . SHEEP— in the sheep division this •week fell a shade under last week's light run and were far from being large enough to satisfy the actual wants of the local trade. Supplies east each day were only nominal as compared with the average daily runs and prices, as a rule, showed very little change from last week's close. Offerings here con sisted largely of spring lambs and sheep although there were a few lots it stock lamb* and sheep included. The demand for spring lambs was very pronounced, being far in ! excess of the number on Bale with the re sult that prices developed considerable i strength, and at the close choice ones are ; quoted at $5.25, against $4.85 at the close last | week and $4.50 at the low time two weeks ago. Buyers have been very anxious for 1 choice ones during the past week with .pros pects of an unusually keen demand for them 1 the coming week at prices right in line with | the strong advance of the past few days I Light weight fat ewes and wethers have been in good demand and prices have advanced about 10c, while heavy kinds, weighing above I 110 pounaa have found a very slow market. j The trade in stock lambs and sheep was lim , ited on account of the few that were offered len sale.

Sioux City, lowa, June 29.— The cattle sup- Ply during the past week showed quite an 1 increase, the run for the week aggregat ! ing 5,300, against 3,100 the week before. Most ; of the gain in receipts was in stockers, and j because of the lateness of tho season there I were more received than the Immediate de mand could very well care for. The result was a weakening in prices- all along the line. On Monday there was a decline of 10@25c, but before the close all grades showed a de ! cline of 15(g,35e, according to quality and de ; sirability. Strictly good steer calves and I stockers and feeders showing weight suf ] fered the least in the general decline, but . the other kinds were slow and prices realized were very unsatisfactory. Calves and year ling steers ranged from $3.75 to $4.25, with a few choice and assorted lots up to $4.60. Lots of common to \ fair stuff ofallweights sold from $2.75 to $3.75. In the heavier grades of steers the prices wore about on the I same basis regarding quality. It required pretty god stuff to bring over $4.25. Stock heifers sold mostly at $2.7* to $3.25, with the edeing cows at $2.25 to $2.75, Feeding bull* were about 25c lower than a week ago *.nd changed hands mostly at $2.76 to $3.26. Fat bulls ranged from $3 to $3.85. The fat cattle market opened the week strong and active, and there was a quick clearance. On that day four loads of choice 1,424 export beeves sold at $6, the high mark of the year. Beginning with Tuesday after noon, values began to ease oft and at the close the market was quoted a flai 25c lower than Monday on all grades. Good 1,250 to 1,400-pound beeves ranged fr0m.55.40 to $5.80, the medium-weight, dressed beef cattle av eraging from 1,150 to 1,250 pounds, from $5.10 to $5.40, and the light-weight, half-fat tseers, from $4.50@,t0 $5. Butcher stuff also suf fered in. the decline. The good, dry-lot, fat cows and heifers sold from $3.75 to $4.50; the medium grades from $3.25 to $3.75, and the canners and grass cows from $2.25 to $3.25; veals sold from $4.50 to $6. HOGS—Receipts this week comprised about 22,000, showing a gain of 1,000 over the previ ous week, but a falling off of 5,000 compared I with the corresponding week a year ago. The I quality and weights did not show much change and during the first three days tture I was very little fluctuation in values.

Not long since an acquaintance of mine said to me, with an air of ©ride: "I can trace back my ancestry to my great-great -1 great-grandfather's great-great-grand father. He was a cavalier, and fought j under Charles I." "And what does that j amount to?" I answered him. "That wss ; the eighth generation before you, and ;in that generation' you bad 128 fore ; fathers and 128 foremothers, and you can j account for but one of .them. Just 1-25 C •of j—nr ancestry In that generation. • Amou< the 125 men of whom you have never heard there may have been sev | eral wiao were hanged for murder, i burglary or sheep stealing, for all that • you know or can ever hope to know. Nor ; can you tell how many disreputable char : acters there may have been among the 128 women. And you must remember, too, that you had sixty-four foremothers in , the seventh generation, and thirty-two in | the fifth, all of them nearer to you than ! that cavalier; you must account for them as well." ~. ? "Yet, of course, one should be glad that I his near lineal and collateral kin have been and are honest men and virtuous women, but a line must be drawn some ; where, and that not many generations j back, beyond which there is no such thing ' as good birth or bad birth, because it is all both good and bad. When any one begins to boast that he comes of "a long line of proud oncestry", he can be con tradicted at ance, because there is no such thing as "a long line of ancestry"; one's ancestry cannot be represented by a "line," but by an inverted pyramid. Every one of us comes not of one, but of many hundreds and thousands of long lines of ancestry, some of them proud,' perhaps, and others with no cause for pride, but rather the reverse. It will not do to try to follow them all too far back. Some one of the many will surely lead to a dungeon of the Newgate prison, or it may*be to the Tyburn gallows tree. We cannot pin our faith to the one cavalier, and ignore all the others, as my friend was trying to do, because it is Nature's plan that all the good and all the bad of the race should be mixed up In each one of us "When a man is born into the world his work is born with him." "Yes. and the people he is to work, too, I suppose." " '■-■ •';"■; Mr. —Thank goodness, the win ter's nearly gone and the summer is com ing, when I won't have to bother about the old furnace. Mrs. —That's so. By the way, dear, don't you think you'd better look at the lawn mower and see if it needs any repairing? "Here," said an angry pawnbroker to an impecunious customer, "why don't you pay me and take your watch?" "I can't," confessed , the depositor, sadly. "Well, you are the worst I ever saw." "I guess I am," was the candid admis sion. "I haven't a single redeeming qual ity^ ■' ■ ■——«.■■. i. ■——■——»- Duluth, Chicago S. A. BROWN & CO Grain Commission. WHOLESALE COAL.
