MINNEAPOLIS FLOUR OUTPUT. Good Water Power Greatly Increases the Grind for the Week. MINNEAPOLIS, May 16.—The Northwest- ern Miller says the Minneapolis mills last week ground 193,137 barrels against 160,000 the week before and 159,876 the correspond- ing week in 1893. This week about the same capacity is in operation. Low freight rates, together with splendid water power, are the causes of the heavy running. Flour 1s very slow of sale, buyers being wholly indifferent except as they find customers to take it off their hands. Export shipments, 47,385 barrels, against 40,- 690 barrels the previous week. At Superior and Duluth the output was 48,939 barrels, against ,931 barrels the previous week and 38,732 in 1893. These figures are likely to be improved this week. The Milwaukee mills ground 28,848 barrels, agalnst 37,131 barrels the previous week and 36,600 barrels in 1893. No improvement is noted in flour trade. The St. Louis production was 32500 barrels, against 35,300 barrels the preceding week. The markets seem to be getting worse Instead of improving. L i i Arsenic In the Water. NASHVILLE, May 17.—Fourteen persons were made seriously sick by drinking water, which, when analyzed, proved to have arsenic in it. Efght of the victims were firemen and six citizens, The water was taken from a cooler in the engine house in South Nashville. All of the firemen had used water from the cooler during the morn- ing with no bad results, but all who drank fter 2 o'clock were made deathly sick and several are in a critical condition. The theory is that a stranger who happened in at 2 o'c.ock and asked for a drink poisoned the water, but for what cause is not known. e WEATHER FORECAS EarlyiMorning Showers in EasterniNebraska, Followed by Warmer Weather WASHINGTON, May 17.—The indications for Friday are: For Nebraska and South Dakota—Fair, pre- ceded by showers in the eastern portion in the early mornin warmer; variable winds.

HOGS—Dry weather and the fear of still ‘ \ % %2 % % Y "V‘“””w,“ lower prices. are bringing in the hogs. So far this week nearly 27,000 have been mar- keted, or 10,000 more than for the corre- i sponding four days last week. With a big “THERE 1S SCIENCE IN NEATNESS,” increase at other points and lower markets everywhere prices dropped another notch or two lower, making 3oc in four days. BE WISE AND USE Thera were a couple of seratch sales at $1.75, and some inferior stock sold down to $4.60 and $4.62%. Fair to good hogs of all welghts, however, went at $4.65 to $4.75, with over half the trading in the $4.65 notch The movement was tolerably brisk at the decline, and the close was firm, On Wednes. day the hogs sold mostly at $4.76, and 7 Thursday $4.85 was the popular figure.
