xxy 1 1 A Show of Strength Near the Close, but Not Much Ac tivity Thruout. Local Supply and Demand Situa tion Favorable to Price Maintenance. But Traders Disposed to Wait Until After September De livery Day. Wheat kicked up at the close. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, jsJbg. 28 surprisingtoday thingwaabout toTX\ ^^T*1 "3*Jfc & wheat at the opening its dullness and indifference. There were I a number of things that were strength ening, but the market showed no re I sponse. For three days this week 750,- i 000 bushels was drawn out of local ter- minaJs. Meanwhile the movement has been light and it was especially light I here today, only 39 cars appear I ing compared with 162 a year ago. i The southwest fell off, with a St. Louis comparison of 23,000 bushelB and 73,- 000 and Kansas Oity showed 152,000 and 182,000- Duluth got a standoff, choice, $12.50 timothy.

The flour market, tho not so active as might be desired, is showing more life and there is a fair daily output. Cash demand remains satisfactory and 3%@4c over is heard for new No. 1 northern, and 2c over for new Ko. 2. On the w-hole the sit uation so far as present supply and de mand conditions are concerned, -is fa vorable to the price. There is little buying because nearly everyone has the idea in mind of a heavy movement of new wheat to come, and the export situation is not especially bright and so it is thought that present conditions are but temporary, and while they may serve to hold the market firm for a' time, declines will again be seen when the new crop movement get fairly started. There is another view that takes in the disappointment of farmers over present low prices and sees the possibility of some holding back of wheat. The weather would have import ant bearing in this connection. Any rain heavy enough to interfere with the movement would have its effect. At this writing, however, the market is in a deadlock. The bears are standing pat for a return to former low prices. The bulls believe December wheat will not po as low ns Septcmhei went Slill they are disposed to wait for Septem ber delivery day to pass before they do much. The early report showed conditions not wholly favorable. At Willmar, Boyd, Madison and Breckenridge it was clear and cool at Fargo partly cloudy 60 above. Huron, clear and 67 above. Mankato had a heavy rain early this morning and at 10 a.m. it was cloudy and 70 above.

CHICAGO GRAIN LOWEB CABLES AND CLEAR WEATHER MAKE WHEAT EASIER. Chicago, Aug. 28.The local wheat market today opened a trifle easier because of lower cables and clear weather in the northwestern part of this country. Selling was very light and commission houses were fair buyers. De cember opened a shade to %c lower at 74c to 74(374%c, and sold at 74%c. Minneapolis, Du luth and Chicago reported receipts of 214 cars, against 270 last week and 275 ono year ago. The feature of the market was the liquidation of the September option, which carried the price of December down to 73%c. .During the last 15 minutes of trading, however covering by shorts caused a rally, during which all of the lots was regained. The market closed firm, De cember %c higher at 74%c, which was the high point of the &ay. Cash wheat. No. 2 red, 71%@72%c No. 3 Close. 27% .27% .27% .27% tHE DAY'S REPORTS Close. -Sept.

Stocks 1 STOCK TOUCHES THE HIGHEST POINT EST ITS HISTORY. Proflt-tfakers Disturb the Harmony of the Market in Their Efforts to Hide Their OperationsPrices Generally Decline Following the Noon Hour. Newt York, Aug. 28.Some substan tial gams were made at the opening of the stock market, but a number of stocks were little changed from yester day's closing. St. Paul, Smelting and Colorado Fuel improved 1 and North ern Pacific 1%. Anaconda exception ally dropped 5 points, but rallied 7. The general market became heavy after the first few minutes and the opening advances were wiped out. Smelting sold a point below yesterday's close and Beading nearly as much. Much of the irregularity in the mar ket arose from the efforts of the pro fessional traders to conceal their profit taking in certain stocks by advancing others. The list at no time moved with great uniformity and was alter nately above and below yesterday's closing prices. The Harriman stocks and Beading seemed to yield most readily of those in which there was any great volume of business, while St. Paul and Atchison offered good resistance at times. Canadian Pacific was unusually active and 4 points higher. Sugar and Great Northern preferred suffered tem porary losses of 1 and 1% respectively. At 11 o'elock the market was rising steadily with St. Paul, Atchison, the Harriman stocks. United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper'at the top. Buying orders were increased in all quarters of the market, especially for those stocks in which dividend proba bilities are under discussion. Atchison was taken in round amounts and reached IO8J4the best price on .rec ord and 1% above yesterday's final. Among the other grain carriers a good display of strength was shown, and there was also a decided improvement in the prices of some of the soft-coal roads. A decline of 1% in Brooklyn Transit was ignored St. Paul rose 3 North-Western and Consolidated Gas 236, Chesapeake &- Ohio 1%, Locomo tive 1%. Northern Pacific and Missouri Pacific 1%, Great Northern preferred and Norfolk & Western 1. Bonds were irregular at noon. The best prices of the morning were made at noon, the market thereafter reacting on realizing. St. Paul and North-western ran off 1 from the highest, and Union Pacific, Beading and Smelting 1. Pennsylvania was sold in large amounts, one transfer of 7,000 shares being at 141. Prices Tumble. Various reasons were assigned for the extensive selling of the afternoon. Stop-loss orders were uncovered in a number of stocks, and prices fell away Eor erceptibly. Concern over the outlook money and the evident absence of inside support in certain stocks were cited as influencing the selling. St. Paul lost all of its 3%-point rise. Great Northern preferred and Sugar were forced 3 points under last night.

These young women are undergraduates from eastern colleges, earning a means of livelihood and a vacation in the country at the same time, with brains trained for any kind of workor so it would seem. But this is not all. In the club's em ploy there is.a kitchen man, a sort of general factotum, who scrubs the floors, builds the fires and, in fact, does any thing he is asked. This young man is a college graduate who is about to pre pare himself for the ministry, and is taking this mannerboth novel and effective, one might sayof getting himself in hand. He is the son of a Chicago bank president, is proud of manual labor, not ashamed of it, and, what is more} as a kitchen men he is a success. In future "years, if he finds himself mediocre as a ministeror, rather, as a preacher of sermonshe can look back and say to himself that, as fire tender, floor scrubber and the rest, he was all that could be- desired.' And he has an assistant at the Lake Geneva club, an other university man, who lights the lamps on the grounds, hauls ice and makes himself generally useful. In the winter this person is a member of a South Side church choir and has aspir ations for a grand opera career. Mean while he is earning an honest living. So much for the-digriity of labor.

MISCELLANEOUS NEW YORK COTTON, Aug. 28.The cotton market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 3 points, in response to higher cables and unfavorable crop accounts from the south west. There was enough realizing by recent buyers for a reaction to cheek the advancing tendency of the market during the early session, but pi ices held pretty steady around the open ing figures and trading was moderately active. Piivate cables attributed the advance in Liver pool to shorts covering and American bull sup port.

Los Angeles Herald. San Pedro.Ocean viewers^ of this city and Terminal are again being pre sented with the beautiful sight of a phosphorescent sea. This phosphorescence formerly came along the coast only at #reat intervals, but the past three years it has been a regular visitor every summer. The tech nical term for it is peridinium, and it is really the work of animalcule so minute that it takes millions of indi vidual specimens to fill a square inch of water. They are seen now in the sea to the east of Sau. Pedro and south of Terminal. The little sea animals are filled with phosphorescence and the waves often Eir 46 108% 107% 19 100 100 IS 51 50% I Total sales, 1,267,900 shares.

Defective Page resent a thrilling sight at night simi to waves of liquid fire. If the night be dark, the whole sea see^ms to be ablaze, and even the sands from which the water has receded sparkle like mol ten gold. Peridinium is a native of tropical waters but often in midsummer seems to drift along: the coast, gradually dy ing out until it reaches Santa Cruz, sel dom being seen above that latitude. Three years ago it was the brightest along this coast ever seen. At that time the whole sea seemed ablaze and many visitors came from afar, one pro fessor coming from the Atlantic coast, where it is unknown. It became a nuisance at last, as the little fellows' seemed to be unable to get around Point Firmin, and as a result, died alone the shores, leaving a nauseating odor. The poison in the phosphorescence killed fish, clams and abalonqp. For several days no one dared eat fish, and the Japanese at White's point claimed that their business was spoiled because of the killing of the abalones. The bay or inner harbor became filled with the dead fish, but" a high tide one night carried out the whole mess.

Higbee, STEAMER TIPPING WORST Walters on the Big Liners Worth The!* ThousandsPassengers to Blame. A Tourist in New York Herald. After having visited all the big citie abroad and stopped at all the big hotels 1! can confidently say that the ocean steam er can take the prize as far as the tip ping evil is concerned. Of course, thf steamship companies are not responsibly for this. Often the passengers themselvefl are responsible, for in taking a trip to Etfrope the exhilaration of the occasion often loosens the tightest wad so* that persons give tips on a steamer that they, would never think of giving at home. It's a case of tip all the time, and somsj waiters were pointed out to me who am worth thousands of dollars and own con siderable real estate in European cities, and all this was accumulated thru tips. In other words, there is no place like a steamship for tips, and it is nursed fo all it is worth. Strange, isn't it, no matter how much courage a man may have, when he goes up against the average waiter, either on a steamer or anywhere else, he cannot look him in the eye without giving him si tip. Human nature is a mysterious thing* ESTABLISHED 117*. firain Commission, I Minneapolis. Dull i-,
