It was mar the bottom at the close, and show id a decline of %c. Corn declined %c. Cats were strong and advanced %c. Pro visions closed unchanged to 2%c higher. The effect of the unexpectedly bullish government crop report given out" Sat urday was apparent at the opening in wheat, but it was soon shown that other influences had superseded It in the minds of speculators. The opening In- July ranged all the way from 76% cto 77c, compared with Saturday's closing price lof 75% c. It sold at once at 7f*%c, but ral lied almost .immediately to 76% c. But in this little spasm of nervousness dissi pated all the effort of the' government report. Selling was heavy on the bulge. Commission houses were in the market ■with big lots. . For a short time the. market held, up .under..the liquidation, but finally broke, 76% c being touched be fore any reaction occurred. .Heavy flour sales reported from the Northwest caus ed a cessation of liquidation from" that section, but in the meantime local hold ers had apparently lost confidence, . and the offerings at all times exceeded de mand. • ">'.; ; ■;;! ■y'Sc! . ■- • ;'-. -. The enormous Western movement be came the one factor as the session ad .. vanced. Minneapolis and Duluth re ported arrivals .of 976 cars, against .874 last week, and 190. a . year. ago. Chicago receipts were 112. cars,- 8 of -contract quality. The visible increase amounted to 1,416,000 bu, about what was expected, and this helped. In pressing prices to a lower level. World's shipments for the week were 7,910,000 bu. Atlantic port clearances amounted to 356.000 bu. ' .-v. The Manitoba government report gave an Increased wheat acreage, with an al most perfect condition. Domestic crop news was unfavorable as regards win ter wheat, but . favorable as to spring wheat. The market became very weak toward the close, on the announcement . of expected receipts of 400 cars tomor row*. July finally sold down to 75% c, and closed at 75%@75%c.

Day! Bar silver, New York .„.;.;. 60% "" 60% Call money. New York .......2<g>2% 2<g>2% ' -.*■;. ■ NEW YORK, June 12.-There was evi dence of large buying by powerful finan cial interests In "a limited "number of stocks, and of manipulation to advance prices in the stock market today. Specu lation otherwise was in a somewhat qui escent state. Outside of the special cases where prices were supported, the one was rather heavy. Many of the railroads ranged downward within the limits of a point during the early trading." There was organized buying throughout the day of Federal Steel, which was marked up .nearly three points and closed almost at. the top. There was some sentimental ef fect exerted by this on other steel stocks, American Steel j & Wire - responding late in the day on covering shorts. , But none of the gains in the group"were well held outside of Federal Steel. The so-called Flower stocks . were all well supported, and Brooklyn* Transit shared its strength with. Metropolitan Street ' Railway" and Manhattan. ..This group of New York traction stocks showed the effects *of realizing from time to time during the day and Manhattan was dragged below last night's close by its weight. .v.'-.'--' The grangers were taken up at one time, St. Paul In the lead, but did not re tain all of the gain, and in some instances more than lost. The coalers were pretty well sustained, also. Other points of Interest were P., C, C. & St. L., which rose 3%; Chicago Terminal > preferred, D. & R. G. issues and the newly, issued Wis consin Central stocks. Sugar fluctuated up and down during the whole day, but always above Saturday's level. It rose at one time three points, but lost it all be fore the close. "".*-! . There was no evidence of outside de mand in the market, and the railroad group showed Itself affected by the heavy tone of the foreign stock exchanges on account of political disquiet. The an- nouncement of the resignation of the French ministry helped the late reaction In prices. The engagement of an addi tional $2,000,000 of gold for export tomor row, although the probability of it had been Intimated, also weighed on the mar ket. No effect was apparent in the mon ey market, which continued easy. Ex change also, though It hardened a shade, continues "a broad fraction below the point where experts can figure a profit on gold exports. In fact, it is. generally admitted that the gold movement is due to actual buying of the gold in this mar ket to replenish the reserve of the Bank of England, and, probably,"-also for Rus sian purposes.

Lee has '_ just renewed ' the state reward of, • 1500 for the apprehension of . the : murder-' er or murderers of William Graham,; a Gregory county settler.-This action by i the s governor ' recalls this ' crime, which is one of the most mysterious ever com mitted in the state, persistent efforts to unravel it having been baffled. The re newal : of the: reward at this particular time-indicates-.that the authorities yet entertain hopes of solving the mystery surrounding the death of Graham. Graham, a bachelor, went to the town of Bone-steel, preparatory to leaving for the Northern harvest fields. He was last seen at Bonesteel. on July 10, 1898. .About 10 o'clock In the evening' of that'day he departed from town for his camp. Half an hour later D. H. Gaughen drove along the road nearest Graham's' temporary, home. He heard the. report of a gun, but, not suspecting trouble of any kind, did not stop to Investigate the cause of the shooting. Still later Peter Waugh, an other settler, also on his way home from town, met a team attached to a wagon, with a dog following, which he recog nized as Graham's. Some days later Gra ham's horses were found wandering on the prairie. Searching parties discovered the body of the unfortunate man In a dry and -shallow well on the Rosebud Indian reservation, which extends into Gregory county. Death was caused by a rifle shot, the ball having passed entire ly through the body. Near the well were found the buckles, tires, and other metal parts of harnesses and a wagon, the combustible portions having been con sumed by Are. y.z>"<-;;z- i...-.yy?yiXc'- IRON COMPANIES ELECT.

A resolution of thanks .*. was adopted by the convention for the liberal offer. - President Worst, of the college, stated at the., time that about the latter .part of June would be the best for the excursion, as the crops and experiments at the farm would be at ' a greater - advantage then than any other time. It Is proposed to have the farmers here about week after next. There would seem no doubt as to the farmers taking advantage of the free ex cursion, and those of Traill, Walsh, Pem bina, Grand Forks, "j Cavalier, Ne son, Ramsey . and other northern • counties could spend the -lay most pleasantly here without a cent's expense, if they wished, as luuch would be served at the college grounds free.
