Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,

Thus while duty demands that men should

should keep their money for investment u,

weather has been favorable for harvesting and far

An unusually wide breadth Of land sown and the
number OF bushels per will be considerably abovs

guess that at least three times much wheat will be

= he Whcst Queation What st. Charlie
City Says.

The WhcSt QueatiOn what st. Charles
City says.
The following letter was written by one
of the most sue :essful merchants in North
Iowa, resident of st. Charles City, and
gentlemen Of undoubted veracity. We
commend its perusal to those gentlemen at
Dubuque who are apparently so seriously
alarmed OF account Of the rapid growth of
our city.
1t will be seen that grain dealers in the
interior are not frightened by the bug bear
stories of rival buyers who attempt to re-
gain by means of wholesale falsehoods, a
business which has been taken from them
by the enterprise Of more liberal Dealers
We have long been convinced that Du-
buque could not compete with McGregor
in the grain trade, but we did not expect
Dubuque men would be foolish enough to
expose their chagrin through their own
newspapers. But to the letter:
ST. CHARLES CRY, Aug. 4, 1860.
Editors Of the Times: After reading the
article in your paper Of the 3Oth July,
copied from the Dubuque Times, charging
the grain dealers of McGregor with being
engaged for a long time in wholesale
swindle Of taking 70 pounds Of wheat for a
bushel, had a desire to ascertain what
amount Of truth there might be in the
charge, and knowing Of no better way to
ascertain he facts, called upon the mer-
chants Of this place to hear what they had
to say Of the matter. I find that Lehm-
kuhl & Co.. Waller q Gilbert, Montague
4 Co., and Wright Bro, merchants doing
business in this town, have sent from here
and sold at McGr gor. since last fall, nearly
eight thousand bushels Of wheat. Hiring
farmers and transfers to wagon Their wheat
it is their custom to weigh the loads before
leaving town, and they say that almost in

will reach McGregor the coming season
from the Cedar Valley than ever hereto
fore. Is.
