Van Dusen & 90. have shown their
hostility to independent wheat buyers
by an order directing their agents at
kasota and Oshawa to pay three cents
per bushel more for wheat than they
pay at St. Peter. The St. Peter mer-
chants put an independent buyer in
the market in order to keep up the
price of wheat, and this is no doubt
the cause of the discrimination against
St. Peter. The Tribune says similar
complaints come from many other
points both in Minnesota and Dakota,
and an amount of wrath is being
aroused that it would be better for
Van Dusen & Co. and all who aid him
to heed. There is also complaint that
Van Dusen & Co. after purchasing
No. 2 wheat tickets of the Merchants
Association, shipped the wheat which
Was then graded as No. 3, and then
would not allow the price for the
grade they accepted it at. The Man
kato Review referring to this matter,
says i: is a sort of s'despotism in the
produce market that would not be toll
Grated for moment by any Of the
monarchial governments of Europe. .
The st. Peter people are very indig-
nant over this state of affairs, and we'll
they might be. But what are you 60
