CHECK TO MARKETING
EFII-CT OF THE BLIZZARD ITOX
WHEAT TKAFFH IX THE
NORTHWEST
WEEK LOSING ONE IN VALUES
Little to the Credit In tiie Way of
I'rulit to Either Side, un the De
cline Whk Trifling Recorded
Receipts Likely t<» Show a I-'all
iiiK OIT at the Opening of the
Miirliet Today,
T!o severe snow rtorm came into account
last Monday ln a very positive way, espe
cially with reference to its bearings on the
marketing of Northwestern wheat at pri
mary points. The splendid weather of the
week pnvious had the effect of bringing
large stores to the elevators, and that vol
ume made its appearance in the records
of receipts published on Monday. The
Thanksgiving day hol'.day followed close on
the heels of the big snow storm, and thus
altogether, as one views the account of
trade during the seven days last past, there
If little to the credit in the way of profit to
eiher side. The demands for export have
b' ea what may be styled normal.
The market has been a losing one ln values
ln a trifling degree, as will be seen by the
following comparison of prices at the points
named and at the dates indicated:
Nov. 26. Nov. 19
Minneapolis 62% 63>/fe
Chicago B% 66;*
Duluth 63 63*4
St. Louis 6St'^ 7SM
New York 73% 73%
These figures show a decline of %c at Min
neapoHs, IV' at Chicago, %<• at Duluth, lc
at St. Louis, and %<: in New York.
The whole story as to conditions for mar
keting wheat is told in the introductory
lines. The farmers have certainly enjoyed
the benefit of good weather for market'ng
thwr grain at country elevators, If they
were disposed to avail themselves of their
chances for good Weather deliveries. Tl:>.
blizzard of last Monday will undoubtedly
manifest its influences in the receipts rc
oorded at the opening of this morning's
market. The weather conditions will be sup
plemented by the slacking up of contribu
tions on account of the Thanksgiving holi
day.
The export demand Indicates nothing ab
r irmal. The foreign supply to the European
markets continues more particularly to the
contributions of Russia to the visible supply
abroad. The Argentine crop is still a quan
tity upon which very little reliance, when it
comes to the measuring of figures, can bs
based. There has been very little specula
tive Interest in wheat on either side, pend
ing ihe prevalence of the storm and the ad
vent of the holiday season. Of course the
prevail nee of heavy snow storms in the
Northwest must inevitably have an effect
ln the way of receipta. The snowfall during
the pa.st week hai; amounted to about twelve
Inchea, but this measurement cannot be of
much service in reckoning the loss of deliv
eries. Inasmuch as the severe winds and big
drifts in prairie sections cannot fail to have
their influence upon the record of wheat de
livered.
So far as the inspection of wheat is con
cerned, conditions are not highly favorable.
The gradlnc, it is said, does not show very
favorably, and there ls much discontent mun.
Ifest among the farmers as to their sales
and the results thereof.
Cast wheat In Minneapolis has not mea
sured up very well with respect to price,
as compared with Duluth. Neither has De
cember wheat at Minneapolis maintained its \
eatftor predominance as far as prices aro'
cammed. This is taken to mean that Dv- j
MOl is pretty well supplied with everything'
pertaining to the necessities for meeting the ',
demand on this option.
Chtoaffo has been a rather Inanimate quan- '
tity all through the pa*t week. tf> far as the j
Wheat market is concerned. The dealers <
down Dure do not take much stock, cvi- '
dcntly. in all the talk of a short supply The '
bull element is not strong, and the bear
element continues to be exceedingly timid.
Taken :ls a whole, the market presents no :
encouragement In the direction of very act
ive trading on the one side or the other i
during the coming months. Everybody knnwj '<
that the crop of the Iniled States has been
beyond all pn cedent enormously large, and
Until a demand Shall appear from the other
Bide tor our surplus a bull market of any
pretensions to volume can hardly be expect
cd.
The- Northwestern Miller. In Its wheat re
view, says:
Ip to Saturday (Nov. 19) the conditions ln
tne Northwest for marketing wheat were the
snd the deliveries by farmers
W1 " le. v. 1). spite the Immense shipments
io Minneapolis nnd Duluth the aggregate of
which ior two Weeks la 13,880,000 bu there
naa been a large accumulation at country
eh ratora. This accumulation is due to the
lai k of cars to get tho grain to terminal mar
in tho most northern territory where
the Creat Northern road is depended upo«
elevator men have no; U^n ahie to Obtain
much over U par cent of as many oars as
needed, l'u; ther south the conditions in this
reaped are better, in the whole Northwest
however, the oar supply has probably been
00l to exceed H per cent . f the full require
ments. This mears that about half the wheat
delivered In the country is held back from
k of cars. Estimating from the re
ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth. the quanti
ty .-o piled np in two weeks wouid be arou id
7.t*»0.W0 b u . it j, fa. r f rora the ,j es i re of the
elevator companies to pile up wheat as th^re
is no cirrylng charge and they have to pay
Interest :uid insurance to hold it.
Notwithstanding the heavy receipts at the
two Northwestern terminals there is no ma
terial Increase In stocks. With the aggregate
pta of nearly 14.tXU.000 hu in two weeks
there has U« en a gain in stocks of less than
1 000.006 bu. This well IHustratsa the rapid
manner in which wheat U absorbed. Thero
appears to he a considerable quantltv of wheat I
in South, m Minnesota and Northern lowa I
naturally tributary to this market which Is
being drown around us by reason of condi- '
tions .Njsting in Chicago, rut freight rates !
are thought to play an imi*<rtant part in tne
mutter. One cone, m estimates that 1,600,000 I
bu of wheat, which in other years has come
to .t here, has been diverted to Chicago •
ln delivering wheat freely, as they have in
the past three weeks, farmers appear to have
■old a good d*al of It. though lt is a hard mat
ter to say what per ooat, a* the experiences
of different elevator managers vary. Today
(Monday) a howling bMnahrd has' been In
progress, and covering pretty much the en
tire Northwest, it is expected not only to
temporarily • ut off farmers' deliveries." but
to possibly seriously interfere with railroad
and curtail wheat receipta for a few
days.
T BhoePce of speculative interest is a no
tab', c feature f groin markets at the present
time. 2!i,l many close observers believe that
«ss tong :is this condition exists, no heavy ap
preciation In prices can be hoped for. How
ever, wttfa active speculation, they would
look for higher prioes. It is very apparent
that the heavy losses sustained through the
deprived speculators not only of
their money, but of their nerve as well, and
they bave no spirit to enter the markets
acnin.

the recent estimate of the Russian minister
of agriculture of this year's crops: The fig
ures are telegraphed in pouds of 36 lbs, which
we have reduced to quarters of the ordinary
English weight. We now give below, in tab
ular form, the minister of agriculture's esti
mate for the past three years, it being un
derstood that the returns include the fifty
governments in European Russia, ten govern
ments in Poland and three in the Caucasus:

It Is not too much to say that this estimate
i for the present year comes as a great sur
j prise, because very few of those connected
' with Russia expected the crops of wheat and
j rye to be much better than last year. The
present estimate is of course the preliminary
; one. the final figures being given by th? cen
j tral statistical bureau in December. The lat
j ter compilation is always considerably in ex
! cess of the figures of the minister of agri
: culture, as it is based upon a more recent
retifrn of the area sown. The minister of ag
'■ rioulture's figures are taken generally as an
i indication of what the final estimate may be,
] thus the fiml retum-s of the statistical bu
, reau gave the following figures for lsaT and
1896. which may be compared with those of
the minister of agriculture:
1897. IBW.

Last year. It will be seen, the minister of
i agriculture's figures were within about 1,000.
--] 0» 0 quarters of wh<at of the final figures: but
In 1896 he was ncarlv 10,000,090 quarters short.
; We may add that Siberia, which is pot in
cluded in any of the above figures, pr_ftueed
5.300,009 Quarters of wheat last year, and
4.250.000 quarteis in 1896.

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVE STOCK.
Tho past week has not been very brilliant
In results so far as the business of live stock
dealing is concerned at South St. Paul. The
week came in with a blizzard, which prac
tically terminated all problems for ship
ment. Then came along Thanksgiving day,
which put another spike lnt> trade and
stopped the evolutions of the wheel.
There were receivtd at the stock yards
| last week 144 cars containing 1,565 cattle,
i 576 calves, 3,676 hogs. 4.194 sheep. The re
ceipts the previous weak were 315 C3rs. 3,63"
cattle, 1,187 calves, 7,502 hogs, 11,7*9 -beep.
; These figures E-how a decrease ln the receipts
'. of cars of 171; of cattle. 2,<isJ; calves, 611;
hogs, 4,126; sheep. 7,595. T'.e killings by
Swift & Co. last week were: Cattle, 323;
i calves. 5; 3heep, 46">; hogs, 3,986. The pre
j vlous week the killings were 533 cattle, 6
I calves, 871 sheep, 7.613 hog*. These figures
: show a decrease of 212 cattle, 1 calf, 406
! sin cp, 3.629 hogs.
It was only to be expected tbat the arrival of
! the mow storm on Monday morning, with
I the resulting blockades on the lailroads and
the indisposition 0 . shippers to forward stock
• urder such condition*, shculd rssult ln a more
j limited market than has prevailed during
! the past autumn months. The receipts have
| been consequently very light indeed, and
I prices have been a little high»r all around
i from the low point of last week. In the
: closing days, however, there was an increase
: In supplies, with a cons quenf decline in
j values. There is r.ot much to b. said in re
; gard to quality of cat le offering. There
j was the usual scarcity of the higher grade
of stockers and feeders. The quotation* are
about the sain, all the way through as the
previous week, except that the demand was
somewhat stronger all around for the better
class of butcher stock and for stockers and
feeders.
The hog market was by no means s.rong,
: and declines were all the way betwt»?n 3c and
j 15c. Indeed, on the closing day of the mar
| ket the rates were almost 25c out of the way
; so far as they could be measured up propor
tionately with Chicago.
The closing for sheep and lambs was fairly
strong. The run wa.. good during the week,
and the offerings were by no mtans large.

SHEEP AND WOOL.
The sheep business in the great We-t has
proved a very remunerative Industry during
the past few seasons, and some remarkable
rstSl of profits are finding their wav into

late annual report to the secretary of the
interior, say.-: 'A few years ago sheep could
be bought for 75 cents per head, and even at
that price tbere were few buyers. Today
ewes are selling freely from $3 to $4 per head

of the prominent sheepmen of New Mexico
who started in the buslne.-e twenty >.ars
ago with practically no capital, has just dis
posed of his business and finds himself
worth over $100,000. Speaking of sheep-raising
he said: "The advance in the price of wool
has kept step with that of the aheap, ln
1596. when sheep were worth only 75 cents
per head, the price of wool touched its low

ABU. EKE. Kan.. Nov. 27.— The cred
itors of Grant Gillett. the cattle man,
who left for parts unknown last Sun
day, spent the day struggling over the
wreck he l*»ft behind. It has developed
into a case of every man for himself,
and the result is a worse snarl than
ever. Each man who holds Gillett pa
per spends his time in checkmating the
moves of others. In the meantime the
amount of liabilities may go beyond
the estimates. There is no one to feed
and water the thousands of head of
cattle on the Gillett farm here, and
while the creditors are quibbling the
cattle In the stalls are dying of hun
ger and thirst. It is stated that Gil
lett had mortgaged and re-mortgaged
the cattle to different parties. It is
said that in one instance he rebrand
ed a lot of cattle he had sold to one
man and mortgaged them to a com
mission house for a large sum, and
then had the cattle driven quickly off
his farm to another man's place, where
ht- had arranged to have the herd kept
for the winter. It Is Impossible to
estimate Gillett's liabilities.
lt ls reported that Gillett has gone
to Spain. The following telegram is
said to have been received in this city

boroui(h Are Social I, lons.
LONDON, Nov. 27.— The Curzons of
I Kedleston are dividing with Lord
Kitchener the honor of being the lions
of the hour. The Cursons are being
entertained everywhere. In fact. Lady
Curzon has been worn out in the at
tempt to keep pace with the hospital
ities extended to them, and is now
ill in bed.
The Earl of Avon, well known in
j American society, is going to India as
! extra aide-de-camp to Curzon, wh;»se
| stafT is noted for the absence of show
I names and for the businesslike char
| acter of its members.
Lord Kitchener is so much In demand
S that few except royalties and public
bodies are able to secure him, but he
went to stay with Mr. Astor at Clive
den today until Monday, while next
Saturday to Monday he joins a distln
| guished party which Mr. and Mrs.
j Henry White give at their country seat
jas a farewell entertainment to the
j Curzons of Kedleston.
Lieut. Winston Chilrchill, Lady Ran
| dolph's son, was offered the post of
! private secretary to George Wyndham,
; the new under secretary' of war, but
j declined. In the next general election
he will stand fur parliament.
The young Duchess of Marlborough
I has been in London this week, looking
much better for her stay at Brighton.
! She has now gone dotf-n to Blenheim,
j where the duke, who has been hunting
I ln Leicestershire, joined her today. The
I duchess was at the theater nearly ev
ery night while in town, and had small
dinner parties beforehand at fashion
able restaurants. The habit of giving
restaurant entertainments Is growing
immensely anions: the smart set, whose
I most brilliant members are to be seen
| nightly at Prince's, the Savoy or the
| Berkeley, where excellent orchestras
1 are provided.
The Bradley Martins have returned
'to their highland castle, Balmacaan, j
where this week they entertained a i
i swell shooting party, including the
I Prince and Princess Dhuleep Singh, the
Tweedmouths, Cravens and Deer
i hursts. They had excellent sport, kill

of the City.
MILWAUKEE. Wis.. Nov. 11.— J. Le
' Feber, of North Greenfield, a suburb
ot" this city, is working in connection
with the rumored milk trust, with

pell company, of Chicago, are connect
ed. Le Fel er owns a large dairy at
Waukesha, Wis., and is now engaged
ln a scheme to control the "entire ship
ment of miik from this section to Chi
cago. Milwaukee and Wsfrukesha coun
ties are among the best dairy sections
in the country, and 34rge quantities of
I milk are shipped to Chicago daily.
A brother of John' Le Feber said to
day that that gentleaia* was now in
Chicago in connection with the project
and has been working* dc the scheme
for the past year, and that it was now
nearly perfected. The plan of the trust
is to control all shipments of the lac

country to Chicago, aad thereby estab
lish a uniform price* to In
that city. t

CHICAGO THE CHOICE.
Next Methodist General Conference
Will .Not Meet In Minneapolis.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27. — John Farson
has received a telegram from Henry
Steelmeyer, chairman of the Metho
dist general conference committee on
location, saying that committee would
come to Chicago and meet the com
mittee of fifteen appointed by the
Methodist Social union, of Chicago, at
the Palmer house next Wednesday.
"This practically means." said Mr.
Farson, "that the Methodist general
conference in 1900 will be held in Chl
l cago. The purpose of the committee
I in coming here next Wednesday prob
l ably is to arrange tbe details for the
conference. I feel proud of our vic
tory."
One objection made to the selection
of Chicago *va3 that the colored dele
gates, who v.-ill be here in force, would
be unable to secure first-class accom
modations at the hotels. This objec
tion was met by a guarantee on the
part of the local committee that the
hotels would receive colored as well
as white delegates as guests, and all
at the uniform low rate. Among the
inducements offered for the selection
of Chicago for the conference waa the
use of either the Auditorium, Stude
baker hall or Central Music hall, ac
cording to the choice of the committee.
The local Methodists also, after con
sultation with the railroads, guaran
teed aa low a rate to Cnicago for dele
gate* as would be granted to any other
city. In addition to this the commit
tee guaranteed the expenses of tbe
conference.
The Russian Scepter.
The Russian state scepter Is of sjlid god,
three feet long, acd ion ai:,s. amo. g I s or
naments, 268 diamonds. 'X> rubies and 15 em
eralds.
