Merriman has carried' iieunepin connty, ac per official count aj^afaifit a heavy Republican majority, demon- strates hie popularity at home, an well as the im- plicit Confidence which his fellow townsmen piace in him. Remember that both candidates were from this county and consequently the Hon. O. C. Merriman should feel proud of the com- pliment paid him by those who knew him beet. Mr. Gilflllan is an able and cool headed man and will doubtless work for the in- terests of his constituency, although he can necessarily have little influence in the next congress. Although the local election was not what the Democrats of Minneapolis had worked for. the Democracy of the county in in an exceptional Ftate of ecatade*.

The Xorthwestern Miller has supplied the Globe with the following resume of the milling Industry for the pasc we.ek: With the exception of a slight falling off in production the situation on tne falls is very much the same that it has been for a number of weeks. Toward the close of last week the un- usually mild weather softened up wheat to some extent, making it tough to grind, aud this, to- gether with a slight shortage of power for a few of the mills less advantageously sit- uated than others, cut down the outpnt 4,000 barrels. The total output last week was 146,000 barrels— an av- erage of 24,333 barrels daily, against 150,000 bar- rels the preceding week. This is the first week on this crop where the production has not shown an increase. The loss, however, Mas not sus- tained because of any desire to curtail produc- tion, as each mill is crowded as much as is con- sistent with good and uniform work. The old number of twenty-one mills is kept moving, but some of them are Buffering somewhat from their power being somewhat short and wbeat grinding tough. The shortage of water is occasioned by the absence of flush boards on the west side of the main dam, which were washed off by recent high water, leaving a large amount ot water to run to waste. The heavy production of flour is beginning to tell on the markets and it is necessary to strain every nerve to dispose of it as fast as it is made Millers generally apprehend that it will soon be Btill more difficult to sell, and are looking np the prospects in new sections. There is a vigorous effort making to sell much more flour in the eonth, and the indications are that it will be suc- cessful. Thofactis that winter wheat millers are troubled to secure a full supply of good wheat, while their flour is not in as good demand as in previous years, gives our millers confidence that the admitted superiority of this year's hard wheat crop will enable them to sell all they can make at remunerative figures. Glasgow mills, which are competing with ours, are^said to be having trouble in getting hard wheat, except at high figures. There is a slightly lower range in prices. Mill- stuff has been weak and lower, bulk bran clos- ing at $0.00©6.25 per ton, and shorts at $7 00a 8.00. * *• The following were the receipts at and ship- ments from Minneapolis for the weeks ending on Uie dates given : \u25a0 RECKiPTS. _ . :(L !

CHICAGO. f Special Telegram to the G'.obe. I Chuliso,' Not. 12.— 1t hu got to be a pretty regular thing for price* to go op a little one day »nd then down a little the next. To-day was the time for an upturn aad the grain market promptly responded, wheat at therloae being He higher, corn lc higher mnd oats l jC ?ic higher. Provisions didn't respond as readily, and though there «a* not much of a decline, the feeling as easier all day, pork cloving 3c lower, lard about - M ic lower, and ribs Jttluc lower. In accounting for the dull condition of speculation the majority of traders point to the general lack of activity in other branches of trade, and advance the opinion that air.ii there i* a geeneral improvement in basinet's the speculative situation »i.l remain about the tame as it is now. The rapidly in creating visible supply of wheat, too, they con •ider a bar to great activity, a*, while puch heavy supplies continue to pour in from all directions, no capital I* willing to ri-K money in a bull movement, which U regarded as necessary to re- \u25a0tore confidence. The chief feature of interest in the wheat pit waa unusually heavy transactions on the part of the *culper!>, as they show more disposition to trade as the prospect for a speedy and quiet set- tlcmeut of the pret-idential question increases. The opening was about at yevterday'a close, and under a good demand from shorts and some re- ported long buying, prices advanced «£ \c dur- ing the day. December wheat uniWr 7k: seems to find buyer*, and on general principles perhaps it ought to, for the price is certainly low enough. Still, the situation calls for low figures, and tti.ru appear* to be no factors warranting an early ad^ vance, except that the market will probably be •timulated by the official announcement of who is to be president. Foreign markets are about as sick as they can be. and the «ame report comes day after day of Liverpool dull and Mark Lane dull and neglected. To-day Liverpool was re- ported Tery dull, which mm probably an intensification of the long contin- ued stagnation. It wonld however, that those foreign markets mnst wake up and advance some time before the next crop becomes due. Although the existing measure of supply is such that no great change will be likely to take place until after the new year opens. California waa 1 penny per cental lower In London. New York early waa ?,c lower* with more firmness at St. Louis. Uur receipts were less of winter and more of spring, with less at Milwaukee and Toledo. About noon Wiltuine and Poole were large sellers, but failed to break prices, and later Mcllenry and Hepburn became large buyers, causing a Sc advance iv a few- minutes. At the top figures offerings became free and the close of the morning board wa.« easier, while iv the afternoon there was, a de- cline of '«c, but this still left prices at the close He above those yesterday. November opened at 71 : t c, ranged between Tl^c ami 7Sf«c, and closed at T'.'c. December was the favorite option. It opened at 72 1 ic. ran ged between 19%* and 73Hc, and closed at 73J4C. January closed at 74c. "A great many operators want wheat badly," said S. W. Bodiuau. -It is not a question of intrinsic value that is puttiug wheat up, but a general desire to even up the market." "Prices in other markets," »uid Shepherd. are governed entirely by the demand for cash wheat and they are not likelyto come into line with as until the speculative demand becomes more general. The temper of the local opera- tors is bullish and they are keeping a sharp look- oat foranything in the sitnvtion tending \u their favor. When this ocenrs this market will quickly take the initiative in starting a general advance. Prices are too low to be in the bear favor, aud they react easily and rapidly from all depres- sions." There was even aMm scalping in the corn crowd than among the local manipulators of the wheat pit. The big majority seemed to be on the short side, bat not very desirous of staying there. The good demand strengthened the mar- ket considerably and the light receipts helped the feeling of firmness, the result being an advance ofl^c. Half of this was again lost by free sales for all deliveries, but later the demand was better, and at the close the market was a full cent'above last quotations yesterday. November ranged at *ih&4-Ji. and clo*ed at 437»c. Year ranged atM '* £j,3J c and closed at 3S*^c. Jan- nary was quiet at 36, 37c and closed at 3'J7«c C ''I think somebody will get hurt in November corn." said John tiensley. "You see there are not above 750,000 bushels of contract corn in store here and it is being shipped out at a rapid rate. Of oil the 159 cars of corn received to-day only six of them graded contract. The same crowd which held the corn in September holds it still. Very little of it is going around and very little of it will be left to go around here a: the end of the month," On the contrary Mllmine. Bodman it Co. say : •'We advise sale* of long Noxenber corn on the hard places and do not think th.-re are^bort* enough in the market to base an extraAllnary advance upon. The year corn look? like pretty safe sale at 39 ,i. Receipts are liable to in- crease materially we judge." The Chandier C>. says: "Were there any large short interot in November the Mnuli- nets of the risible supply would aimo-t insure a sharp advance later in the month, but we are of the opinion that hut few operators have any out, as the very light receipts for six weeks putt have discouraged short telling except in a scalp- ing way. However, in view of the exceptionally strong statistical position, we would advice our friends to take small losses on sales or November uid year." speculation in oats was unusually light, bat notwithstanding this the feeing was firmer and quotably went up in >»ymp:itny with other grain*, the close loin,- &c higher for November at I c and l ,c higher for May at tie. The provision pit was adverse! affected .by the literal receipts of ho^s a.id the lower price* at which they were quoted. Foreign advice* were alto unfavorable to tellers, while eas'ern market* were enchanted. The maud was moderately active, however, and though prices ware somewhat lower the market ruled fairly steady at the decline. January pork reached $11.75. at which figure it is asserted the seller* losej money. The close was 5c higher February. The last figure was $11. -JO. Lard was firmly held, and at the close was unchanged at $6. 53 for January, while November nit only 2 '.ic lower than on yesterday at $S.92>i. . Ribs were a little mere active than usual, bnt the feeling was easier and prices ruled 10c lower, closing a; $5.80 for January and $5.90 for February. At the stock yards business continues fairly active. Receipt* of cattle are considerable ahead of last week at ibis time, and there ha* bees a large increase in the arrivals of bugs to-day, the number reaching nearly old time receipts. There waa a good demand for cattle, and prices gener- ally ruled steady. Western cattle, of which there were several droves among tbe fresh receipts, are selling at profitable prices. There were sev- eral trains of prime Montana-, and Wyoming* on tbe market that made from $3.90&.V35. The Suddnlb & Fratt Moutanas averaged i . 1.300 pound?, aiid sold for |5.75. Tbe Harry Sleber Montana* averazed 1,303, and aUo bold for $5.25. and the Kohrs Mon:snas averaged 1,955 and sold for $5.35. There was a brisk demand for bogs, as there are now thirteen or fourteen packing firms oper- ating, tbe new International, f accessor* to Denuy & Son*, being the latest addition. Prices on hogs were a strong 10 cents lower all around. CHICAGO KINAN'CIAX. t> (Special Ttlenam to the Glob«. I Chicago, Not. 18.—To-day* closings of the Afsocialed banks were $7,100,000.

While there Is a touch of barbarism in wearing rings on the fingers, yet the civil- ized band has so lone bceu adorned by them that it would look plain and unfinished with- out its hoops or gold. The ancient Romans wose the ring on the joint just under the nail The Hebrews wore it on the right hand alone. The Greeks wore their rings on the fourth finger of the left hand, the Gauls and Britons on the third finger of the left hand. In Pliny's time the betrothal ring was an iron hoop, set with a lodestoue In- stead of a com. The Romans were even greater slaves to fashion than we of the pres- ent. Tory had winter and rummer rings. the weight and color of the rip;: being adapt- ed to the season. The Greek* wore weekly rings, which were cLr.rtue, and were always Intaglios and cameos. Talismanic rings, were also in use among the Romans. Seal rings were heirlooms and of great value in, business transactions. The wedding ring is of great antiquity. It is a common thing to find wives who have been married a life-time jet never had allowed the wedding ring to slip over the finger joint. It is considered unlucky to take it oil. To lose it indicate* a misfortune. "As your wedding rin<; wear* 80 wear away your cares." It is only 00 yen* old hands that the woin thread of gold is now seen.

Omaha opened He higher, bat was not active. Erie sec- onds opened sic up and immediately sold down l»%c to 49c. Northwestern preferred opened He lower and declined a full point to 12 He. The geaeral market was fairly active, with Union Pa- cific in thu lead and strong. A great many ru- mors were ia circulation concerning this stock. One was that one ball pool bad been formed in London to pat it np 10 points. Daring the forenoon it rose to 51. St. Paal to 734, Northwestern to S3 IS, Western Union to My, . New York Central to SJ\, Lake shore to CCi, Lackawanna to 103 ',, and Pacific Mall to 51. The New York Central reduced Its passenger rates this morning to Si 0.50 to Chicago, the Tie as the other roads. Several heavy brokers were bidding op Lake Shore, and Gould was said to' be covering his short* in thai stock. Mr, Bell seems to hive charge of the manipulation in Lake Shore at proi-r.t. and several parties are working it on the theory that there M a large short interest oat and ttut the stock is too low. On the other hand it is raid that the road ran only tret rid of its Urge floating debt by issuing new bonds or pa*' sing dividends. Union Paci9c was «aid to have now all the money i: wanted, having recently borrowed $1,000,000 at 34 per rent, to j pay oS loans made at ft higher rate. Vanderbllt was «aid to be buying nothing at present, and feeling rather discour- aged over the fact that hi- road was making no money. On the other hand it was reDorted that he was willing to give $3,000,000 ca*h for the utiincnmbered property of the New York Central. Heavy parties were selling St. Paai and the gen- eral feeling was War:*h, although the market daring the forenoon was kept steady by some- body. The cliques are said to have realized heavily yesterday, and it was considered a hope- less task to work for any great advance while the election question remained uncertain, and the passenger rate war was in progress. The earn- ings of the Canadian Pacific increased the first week In November $J5,000. Several good things were reported of that road, and the old story was started again about bavins; a line of steamers run from Montreal to China and Japan in con- nection with it. Railroad men thought that no trunk line would be able to keep up dividends except the Pennsylvania. The railroad fight is becoming more exciting every day. The redac- tion of the New York Central on rates to Chicago to $10.50 was met to-day by the West Shore with a £10 rate. The Chicago, Burlington & Qnincy has withdrawn fruiu the Kansas City pa*sengcr agreement, and rates from that city to Chicago have been reduced *1 by all the lines. The ehorts covered some stocks toward the ciose of the session and the granger* picked up a bit in consequence Jersey Central was a trifle active. The final quotation on it is exdlvidend 1-, per cent. Outside of some dealings by the room traders, there was nothing doing at the finish, and the market woundup exceedingly tame.

. Tjttt fact that the lion. O. C. Merriman has

Remember that both candidateswere from this county and consequently the Hon.O. C. Merriman should feel proud of the com-pliment paid him by those who knew him beet.Mr. Gilflllan is an able and cool headed man andwill doubtless work for the in-terests of his constituency, although hecan necessarily have little influence in the nextcongress.

They think it is enough thattiny have won a prosiiiunt after a hard andplucky strueslj of twenty-four years, and grace-fully succumb to the local defeat.

THK MXIXIHaINDUSTRY.

The Weekly Itevieu- of the Flour Productat the rails.

The Xorthwestern Miller has supplied theGlobe with the following resume of the millingIndustry for the pasc we.ek:

With the exception of a slight falling off inproduction the situation on tne falls is verymuch the same that it has been for a number ofweeks. Toward the close of last week the un-usually mild weather softened up wheat to someextent, making it tough to grind, aud this, to-gether with a slightshortage of power for a fewof the mills less advantageously sit-uated than others, cut downthe outpnt 4,000 barrels. The totaloutput last week was 146,000 barrels— an av-erage of 24,333 barrels daily, against 150,000 bar-rels the preceding week. This is the first weekon this crop where the production has not shownan increase. The loss, however, Mas not sus-tained because of any desire to curtail produc-tion, as each mill is crowded as much as is con-sistent with good and uniform work. The oldnumber of twenty-one mills is kept moving, butsome of them are Buffering somewhat from theirpower being somewhat short and wbeat grindingtough. The shortage of water is occasioned bythe absence of flush boards on the west side ofthe main dam, which were washed off by recenthigh water, leaving a large amount ot water torun to waste.

The heavy production of flour is beginning totell on the markets and it is necessary to strainevery nerve to dispose of it as fast as it is madeMillers generally apprehend that it will soon beBtill more difficultto sell, and are looking np theprospects in new sections. There is a vigorouseffort making to sell much more flour in theeonth, and the indications are that it will be suc-cessful. Thofactis that winter wheat millersare troubled to secure a full supply of goodwheat, while their flour is not in as good demandas in previous years, gives our millers confidencethat the admitted superiority of this year's hardwheat crop will enable them to sell all they canmake at remunerative figures. Glasgow mills,which are competing with ours, are^said to behaving trouble in getting hard wheat, except athigh figures.

There is a slightly lower range in prices. Mill-stuff has been weak and lower, bulk bran clos-ing at $0.00©6.25 per ton, and shorts at $7 00a8.00. * *•

f Special Telegram to the G'.obe. IChuliso,' Not. 12.— 1t hu got to be a pretty

regular thing for price* to go op a little one day»nd then down a little the next. To-day was thetime for an upturn aad the grain marketpromptly responded, wheat at therloae being Hehigher, corn lc higher mnd oats ljC ?ic higher.Provisions didn't respond as readily, and thoughthere «a* not much of a decline, the feeling aseasier all day, pork cloving 3c lower, lard about-M ic lower, and ribs Jttluc lower. In accountingfor the dull condition of speculation the majorityof traders point to the general lack ofactivity inother branches of trade, and advance the opinionthat air.ii there i* a geeneral improvement inbasinet's the speculative situation »i.l remainabout the tame as it is now. The rapidly increating visible supply of wheat, too, they con•ider a bar to great activity, a*, while puch heavysupplies continue to pour in from all directions,no capital I* willing to ri-K money in a bullmovement, which U regarded as necessary to re-\u25a0tore confidence.

The chief feature of interest in the wheat pitwaa unusually heavy transactions on the part ofthe *culper!>, as they show more disposition totrade as the prospect for a speedy and quiet set-tlcmeut of the pret-idential question increases.The opening was about at yevterday'a close, andunder a good demand from shorts and some re-ported long buying, prices advanced «£ \c dur-ing the day. December wheat uniWr 7k: seemsto find buyer*, and on general principles perhapsit ought to, for the price is certainly low enough.Still, the situation calls for low figures, and tti.ruappear* to be no factors warranting an early ad^vance, except that the market will probably be•timulated by the official announcement of whois to be president. Foreign markets are aboutas sick as they can be. and the «ame report comesday after day of Liverpool dull and Mark Lanedull and neglected. To-day Liverpool was re-ported Tery dull, which mm probablyan intensification of the long contin-ued stagnation. It wonldhowever, that those foreign markets mnst wakeup and advance some time before the next cropbecomes due. Although the existing measureof supply is such that no great change will belikely to take place until after the new yearopens. California waa 1 penny per cental lowerIn London. New York early waa ?,c lower* withmore firmness at St. Louis. Uur receipts wereless of winter and more of spring, with less atMilwaukee and Toledo. About noon Wiltuineand Poole were large sellers, but failed to breakprices, and later Mcllenry and Hepburn becamelarge buyers, causing a Sc advance iv a few-minutes. At the top figures offerings becamefree and the close of the morning board wa.«easier, while iv the afternoon there was, a de-cline of '«c, but this still left prices at the closeHe above those yesterday.

"A great many operators want wheat badly,"said S. W. Bodiuau. -It is not a question ofintrinsic value that is puttiug wheat up, but ageneral desire to even up the market."

"Prices in other markets," »uid Shepherd.are governed entirely by the demand for cashwheat and they are not likelyto come into linewith as until the speculative demand becomesmore general. The temper of the local opera-tors is bullish and they are keeping a sharp look-oat foranything in the sitnvtion tending \u theirfavor. When this ocenrs this market will quicklytake the initiative in starting a general advance.Prices are too low to be in the bear favor, audthey react easily and rapidly from all depres-sions."

There was even aMm scalping in the corncrowd than among the local manipulators of thewheat pit. The big majority seemed to be onthe short side, bat not very desirous of stayingthere. The good demand strengthened the mar-ket considerably and the lightreceipts helped thefeeling of firmness, the result being an advanceofl^c.

While there Is a touch of barbarism inwearing rings on the fingers, yet the civil-ized band has so lone bceu adorned by themthat it would look plain and unfinished with-out its hoops or gold. The ancient Romanswose the ring on the joint just under thenail The Hebrews wore it on the righthand alone. The Greeks wore their rings onthe fourth finger of the left hand, the Gaulsand Britons on the third finger of the lefthand. In Pliny's time the betrothal ringwas an iron hoop, set with a lodestoue In-stead of a com. The Romans were evengreater slaves to fashion than we of the pres-ent. Tory had winter and rummer rings.the weight and color of the rip;: being adapt-ed to the season. The Greek* wore weeklyrings, which were cLr.rtue, and were alwaysIntaglios and cameos. Talismanic rings,were also in use among the Romans. Sealrings were heirlooms and of great value in,business transactions. The wedding ring isof great antiquity. It is a common thing tofind wives who have been married a life-timejet never had allowed the wedding ring toslip over the finger joint. It is consideredunlucky to take it oil. To lose it indicate* amisfortune.

Si 0.50 to Chicago, the Tie as the other roads.Several heavy brokers were bidding op LakeShore, and Gould was said to' be covering hisshort* in thai stock. Mr, Bell seems to hivecharge of the manipulation in Lake Shore atproi-r.t. and several parties are working it onthe theory that there M a large short interest oatand ttut the stock is too low. On the other handit is raid that the road ran only tret rid of itsUrge floating debt by issuing new bonds or pa*'sing dividends. Union Paci9c was «aid to havenow all the money i: wanted, having recentlyborrowed $1,000,000 at 34 perrent, to j pay oS loans made at fthigher rate.

On the other hand it was reDorted thathe was willingto give $3,000,000 ca*h for theutiincnmbered property of the New York Central.Heavy parties were selling St. Paai and the gen-eral feeling was War:*h, although the marketdaring the forenoon was kept steady by some-body. The cliques are said to have realizedheavily yesterday, and it was considered a hope-less task to work for any great advance while theelection question remained uncertain, and thepassenger rate war was in progress. The earn-ings of the Canadian Pacific increased the firstweek In November $J5,000. Several good thingswere reported of that road, andthe old story was started again

about bavins; a line of steamersrun from Montreal to China and Japan in con-nection with it. Railroad men thought that notrunk line would be able to keep up dividendsexcept the Pennsylvania. The railroad fight isbecoming more exciting every day. The redac-tion of the New York Central on rates to Chicagoto $10.50 was met to-day by the West Shorewith a £10 rate. The Chicago, Burlington &Qnincy has withdrawn fruiu the Kansas Citypa*sengcr agreement, and rates from that city toChicago have been reduced *1 by all the lines.The ehorts covered some stocks toward the cioseof the session and the granger* picked up a bitin consequence Jersey Central was a trifle active.The final quotation on it is exdlvidend 1-, percent. Outside of some dealings by the roomtraders, there was nothing doing at the finish,and the market woundup exceedingly tame.Union Pacific was not over plenty and there wasa good demand for cash stock.
