ANOTHER HIGH POINT IS TOUGHED IN WHEAT te Bull News Comes Pouring In Upon the Market From Every Quarter. foreign Markets Up, Export De- mand, and Low Temperatures . Northwest. September Spurts Above 78%e, but Closes Easier-A Day of Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, July 30 The bulls in wheat had every thing to help them this morning, and In view of the color of the news and the number of distinctively bullish items that came in it was not surprising that Sep tember wheat here should have opened up strong and excited with the first trades around 7S^c There Tvas, t o begin with. a surprising advance in Liverpool, the cables showing KgH&d higher for wheat and %d higher for corn. This was sur prising for the reason that Liverpool has held off on many of the recent spurts on our side, -while the Jump to-day- was good response to our strength of yester day. So the bulls started In with the potent argument that the foreigners have at last woke up to the strong situation here and notwithstanding the fact that later cable advices reported the Liverpool rise due in part to local conditions theie, the bulls held the satisfying view that Liverpool was at last whipped into line and would likely follow o n any further advances we might make. This foreign response was suffloient In Itself to have encouraged bull activity, and with it there were the same statistical influences for strength, as light receipts at all mar kets and a decrease in Minneapolis stocks now estimated at 450,000 bushels. And with It all the wires brought reports from Portal and Harvey of frosts last night This frost report was an important in fluence and while many doubted whether any harm had been done the effect was to make long holders hang on for still furlter profits, and while selling carried September off from 78%c to 77%o there was no such rush to unload as Is usually the oase -when a market opens u p and then turns back, and at 77%c the market tuck, turning up to 78^4c again on very moderate buying On the filling of a few moderate new orders September sold di rectly to 78 %c. For all that the market was so strong and showed such a climbing tendency the trade could not see that conditions -were any the worse, but on the contrary the general Bhowing was better. The south west had good rains and if corn was on the boom very recently because of lack of rain, this would seem to have put a damper on that argument. Still every thing advanoed. Dodge City, Concordia and Wichita had rains, also Ellenwood, Hutchinson and Florence and at the three last points it was still rainy this morn ing Many Nebraska points had rains Kansas City and St. Louis were cool and cloudy. For the northwest the forecast la favorable. North Dakota has the pre diction of fair weather except for show ers in places. South Dakota has fair and warmer weather in prospect and the Min nesota and Iowa predictions is for fair weather The lowest temperatures shown to-day were around 36. "When the wheat was frosted so badly in 1898 the thermometer ranged down to 27 degrees. Minneapolis had 126 cars against 137, Duluth 7 against 137, Chicago 58 against 219. Kansas City 173 against 316 and St. Louis 140,000 bushels against 302,000 bush els Primary receipts in consequenoe were again extremely light and only half of last year, totaling 521,000 bushels against 1 148,000 bushels. The Price Current report which dates beforp the rains mentioned above says that corn conditions are fully maintained but mo"9t sections are needing- rain The Wheat situation not essentially changed. Moderate disappointment In yields con tinues. Oats are only a fair crop. The healthiest sign in the whole situa tion is the export inquiry. Engs. the Mil mine export man, confirmed some of the export business reported yesterday to Verhoeff this morning. There Is the op portunity to do a good business if the bull enthusiasts do not again carry the mar kets out of line. Thirty loads wereh taken to-day for export. *J RANGE OF WHEAT PRICE IN MINNEAPOLIS Open. High*. Low.

"he could give as good a. testimonial ' to the capability of Attorney General Knox at a corporation lawyer as any on*, would desire Soon after hie retirement from the presidency General Harrison, having announced his intention of making some money out of the practice of law, was called into a big corporation case with General Knox They won their case, and their minds naturally turned on their fee. " 'Look here Knox," said General Har rison, *I know I am subordinate to you in this case and should get my fee thru you, but I am getting old and want to collect all my fees as promptly as possible, 90 if you don't mind I'll just make out my own bill and send It in ' Knox readily agreed, and the expresldent sent in his account, which was promptly paid. A day or so later he met Knox 'Did you get your fee?' the Plttsburger asked of the Indianlan " 'Oh, yes," replied Harrison, -with smile. 'I put In a bill of $25,000 and they paid It at one.' " 'I am sorry about that.' said Knox, 'I have just received a check for $100,000 for my share, and had expected to 'O. K.* yours for the same amount.' " f* farm PROVISIONS GRAIN COMMISSION.
