again the farmer has been bni.diag upon his
crop and living on Ii tso in advsacs and coase-
queuily he must sell mere or less 20 raise Tie
necessary money fer the bare means OF suesist-
ence. There is one subject however on which
the Average farmer Is net so sound-thst OF the
protective tariff and il is very hard TO understand
bow any man with ordinary understanding
caa vote for man who advocates taxing the
farmer upon every article OF, manufacture enor-
mously, and forcing him to sell his grain in
market open 20 the freest competitions market
in which pagan and barbarian labor enters. That
farmers have been selling their grain is shown
by the fact that the Duluth road has handled
some $500, 900 bushels OF wheat aud s35, OOO
barrels of flour already this season
~. - C. Do-l
the railroads the past week have been 159 cars
or So cars more than the previous week, while
the shipments have been technically the same
for three weeks, The elevators at St. Paul have
received during the week 1908 bushels and
shipped q, SOL bushels Within the last ten
days, however, farmers have been
holding on TO their wheat more
and have shown some reluctance to sell at pres
ent prices. The mills report buying forty cars
at country points at prices ranging from 45c TO
soc and from farmers wagons about 5000
bushels at soc for No. 2, Gle for No. ! and Coo
in flour good but the export trade as dull as
ever. There are no changes in
prices of -four at first hand
since the reduction Of 10c reported
last week Railroad returns show decrease of
-four shipments of ten cars. There has been but
very little business done in corn the receipts by
rail being merely nominal There has been
some new corn brought in by farmers and sold
on the street at 40@45c per bushel in the ear.
That brought in has been OF excellent quality.
Receipts OF oats by rail amounted only to 1900
bushels, which sold at prices averaging
24G25c Some 9.eO0 bushels Of barley
were the entire receipts; the highest price
reached for No. ? was Gle and the lowest 55c.
The elevators have neither received nor shipped
any oats or corn; SAB bushels of barley were re-
ceived the elevators and 200 shipped, while
the receipts and shipments of fax were each
1,29S bushels. The stocks of grain in store at
the elevators, compared to a week ago, are rs

The increase in the visible supply of wheat
2G,O43 bushels for the week ending October 2l
and 20, 762 for the week under review. Feed
has been steady during the week
with supply equal TO the demand, viii Oh has
not been urgent. Hay has heen, scsrcer and
slightly higher, is car loads only having been
ported against 25 for the former week. There
has been no diminution in the supply of fruit,
but on the contrary increase of car to the
daily average, which 10 cars against for the
week ending on the 2lst. The fruit received
was principally apples. although there has been
a good supply OF grapes-Concords. Cstawbs
and lsabelias principally; oranges-Louisiana
and Floridas; bananas and peaches; the latter,
however. are about over. Prices of apples have
ranged all the way from 81 so 10 SO per barrel,
according 10 quality. There has been
some little improvement in butter; good
dairy and creamery has been scarce
and all offered sold readily. Beans very
dull and low. choice nayies only commanding
any sale. Cider is coming in freely and prices
are weakening; pure Michigan and New York
sell at IS per barrel o. g, Bacon and hams re-
main firm; mess pork is lower: dressed meats
are easier; country dressed are being offered,
but not freely: they may be quoted
at $3.50 and $500. Dealers have
marked down -four in all grades. There is
fair demand for live poultry. Some small lots Of
dressed were offered and sold
readily, and If the cold weather
should set in they will be in good demand, but
birds were sent of in good condition,
