Through the kindness of Mr.. H. A.

The Board of Trade at Albert Lea
are ever alert to the interests of their
beautiful city, and when their services
are required to regulate matters relative
to their markets or in other directions,
they act promptly, decisively and
tremendously, and generally accomplish
what they undertake, thus proving that
they are body more useful than orna-
mental. Lately, the grain buyers Of
that city, attempted to form combi-
nation of prices which if successful,
would have caused the price of wheat
TO decline six cents a bushel. The
Board of Trade, hearing of it, i'm.
mediately informed the buyers if such
IA combination was effected, they would
at once put a man on the market to
compete with them.
