George B. Hull and wife, of Minneapolis, re.
turned yesterday from visiting Mrs. Hull'G
father, who is William Marshall, of Schenec
tady, N. Y, the Oldest railway conductor II

first train out of Albany on the New Yorl
Central road forty mine years ago, which wal
the first train moved by steam in the United

General Agent Eddy, OF the st. Paul & Du-
luth road, was advised yesterday that the Lake
Superior Transit company has seven boats now
on the way to Duluth, each to
make one more trip this season from Duluth
to Buffalo. They call for 5000 barrels o.
flour, but there's only 1000 now in store al
Duluth, and and the millers are threatening
to cease shipping until eastern markets are ad
vanced.
Millers and other wheat buyers in Mime
sofa, who have had to buy wheat at the high
est prices Of the fall to keep it from being
taken to Chicago, and who are now unable t.
see any profit in either their -four or wheat
are now talking earnestly of the need of an in
dependent outlet for Minnesota, which will
help to make the grain and f1onr trade OF tn
state independent of speculative opera
tions on the Chicago board of trade. The.
say these operations compelled then
to pay too much for wheat through
fall, and have now reduced the market values
of both wheat and flour below what the.
ought to be in view of the worlds supply ap6
needs; and they think that il there was an In
dependent outlet for the surplus wheat OF
northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota,
Chicago's control of values would be weak
ened and there would be more stability am
certainty in the legitimate grain trade. Bn
it will take good deal Of money to build tn
railroad needed, and to give it proper connec
tions with the seaboard. And furthermore
every year seems to strengthen the great cor
porations of the East in their power to shut
out new routes.
