The water at present supplied to the city of Duluth is bad. Not as bad as before the water company put in its new intake well, but still eqftirely too bail for use as a beverage. So says the analysis just concluded by Prof. A. J. Woodman. The Professor has discovered in the samples submitted to him bacteria to the numbey of 10,000 to the cubic centimeter. This a vegetable growth and is •ignificant when present in such quantities, as indicating the presence of a large •.mount of organic matter in the water, 'from which these minute plants draw flheir nourishment. Normal Lake StlpeTior water contains about forty-four to the cubic centimeter. In addition there •re large numbers of animaiculae found. These are present in such numbers only when there is a large amount of organic matter for them to dispose us. They, are nature's scavengers. , . Dun's Weekly Review of Trade. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: ’ T , y “The wheat market advanced a little, while other speculative markets were stagnant or slightly' declined, but its email advance was mainly due to reports «f foreign crop reports and need. There - many who believe that the decrease In yield this year has been underestimated?’ •nd part of the dispatches gathered by Dun's Review last week tends to support 'that view, though practically all she returns from what are now those chief wheat growing States were cheering. Ijess favorable accounts appear this .week from Minnesota and Dakota. It is wise on both sides to remember that in spring wheat States, which have this year to make up for some loss elsewhere, the crop willnot be out of danger for sßme weekgwNational League.
