THE PRICE OF GRAIN.

The anomalous condition of the grain
market cannot fail to have struck the
attention Of all who have given the
matter any consideration. The price
of wheat in Milwaukee and Chicago
is higher freight included) than in
New York or Liverpool and even
in our local transactions, wheat in St.
Cloud is higher freight iucluded)
than in Chicago or Milwaukee. In
the latter cities the prices for June
and July delivery show a liberal ad-
vance on presentprices. The Chicago
Tribune says: "There are just now
held in store in this city wheat and
corn, which with the lard and pork,
represent over 50, 100000 invested in
them. This stock is carried with
Chicago capital, bearing liberal in
terest, and yet the holdersof the prop
erty consider it more profitable to pay
this interest than to sell at the prices
offered in the East" This produce is
not held by spectators, but mostly by
men who own the property and are
able to hold it. They believe that on
account OF the killing by frost of
large area of winter wheat the
lateness OF the spring almost every
where; and the threatened depreda-
tons Of the gras>hoppers still east Of
the scenes of their last years ravages,
there will be a much reduced crop
this year and that prices will rule
proportionately higher.
Mr.. Pennock Pussy, former Com
missioner of Statistics of Minnesota,
returned to St. Paul last week from
the East, and as the result of his
personal observations in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois,
where large areas of winter grain
were killed, and of the destruction of
growing crops in Kansas, Nebraska
and Wisconsin, believes that the cut
of grain this year will be very large
ly below that of last season, and that
IS natural sequence there must soon
be very decided advancein the price
of wheat, and his advice to Minneso-
ia farmers who have not yet sold their
surplus Of last years crop, is to hold
on, and await the advance in price
which is now, he believes, only q
question of a few weeks.

In his answer in the suit brought by

In his answer in the suit brought by
the State to recover 500, 641 stumpage
money, Ex-Auditor McIlrath denies
that he owes the State a red cent but
claims that, on the contrary, the State
owes him for making collections on
account Of timber cut. He thinks
three per cent. on the amount collect
ed would be about right. His kind
ness in not sooner bringing forward
this claim merits and doubtless will
receive due acknowledgment from the
people of Minnesota.

LAST December a communication

LAST December a communication
as handed in to the office of the
Minneapolis Tribune, signed Marga'
ret O'Neill and stating that a girl
named O'Neill had been the victim Of
seduction and abortion and had died
in consequence. The girl who brought
the letter represented herself as the
sister of the Miss O'Neill referr ed to
and as the author Of the letter. After
satisfying itself as far as possible
at the time as to the correctness of the
statement, the Tribune wrote and pub
lished an article based on the letter.
Discovering the next day that the
whole thing was fraud, the editor Of
the Tribune wrote and published full
and complete retraction, with which
the real Miss Margaret O'Neill ex'
pressed herself as fully satisfied. But
afterwards, urged by other parties,
she began a suit for libel, and last
Monday obtained a verdict for $4,000
damages. In view Of all the facts
Of the case, there being no malice
whatever and the fullest possible rep
aration being made (and such as the
plaintiff accepted at the time as sufi'
cient and satisfactory this award Of
damages-where there was no dam
age--cannot but be considered as ex-
cessive. 1t would appear, as the
Tribune plainly charges, that the YER
dict was forced by members ofthe jury
who held an ill-will against the paper
and insisted upon damages for $4,000
to $4,000. The case will be ap-
pealed.

been sh own to be false and woven in
to the suits only for effect. Where
the opportunity has offered, all the
judges before whom any motion has
been made which has given them an
opportunity to examine into the mat
ter, have declared that the manage
ment Of the railroad lines in all the
departments was a matter of comen-
dalton.
The overwhelming difficulty ap-
pears to be the great amount of bonds
which have been issued at various
times on these lines. 1t seems to me
very strange that this should be the
case. It seems that the character of
the bonds, as well as the amount, was
we'll known to the Holland bankers,
and that nothing was done in the
matter of bonds, from their inception
until the present tt me, that the Am
sterdam parties, who are now in the
Ring, did not direct and control. The
immediate agent Of the Amsterdam
bankers, who were placing these
bonds on the Holland market and
seducing the "small farmers and
tradespeople" of that country into
the purchase thereof, was Mr.. Leon
Willmar, of London, England, and
this man, at the instance of those
bankers, was elected and retained as
a Director in the company, until June,
1874, and during all this time he al
so was conversant with every move
ment connected with the bond oper-
atoms.
j. S. Kennedy & Co., of New York,
the American agents and attorneys
Of the bondholders' Committee. now
the "Holland Ring" represented to
the Judge of the United States Cir
cult Court who appointed the Receiv-
er, "that if Receiver was so appoint
ed, with power to finish the said Elk
tension Lines, the money would be
furnished by the bondholders to so
finish them" In a letter to the Rail-
road Committee Of the House Of Rep
resentatives Of Minnesota, J. S. Ken
nedy & Co. say: *'Until the property
is sold under the mortgage, and a
clear title to 1t obtained, no scheme can
be devised by euhich money con, be ruiis-
ed upon the property euith eohich to CON-
plete and equip It," Eve beg, IN con-
et'ts'on, to sag, IN direct response to yoatr
a'eQatiry, that as soon as the st. Paul
and Pacific Railroad Company can be
reorga''ised by foreclosure and sale ans-
der the mortgage, the purchasers, should
they be the bor,dtolders, will e>ndoebted-
ly proceed Vithout delay qvith the quo,:k
Of construction, # they are satisfied Of
friendly, liberal and just disposition to-
eua,'ds Mee."
With three great suits going on in
Minnesota connected with the fore
closure Of the mortgages and sale of
roads and lands, and with one great
suit going on in the City of New York
connected with the railroad iron, I
think the lawyers will manage to
keep us all waiting, and while wait
ing the inquiry will frequently be
made, When will these lines be- finish
ed? Who will finish them
I'll am wrong in my conclusions, I
hope to be corrected. Other persons
than the present bondholders are in
terested in the completion of the
Extension Lines, in whole or in part,
at the earliest possible moment.
