Fargo Special: Railroad building
here has almost been at standstill the
past summer, and the Fargo Southern,
the Manitoba extension from James,
sown north, now under construction, all
Of which were partially completed last
season, represent the seasons work in
railroad building. The panic Of last
spring and the stringency and continu-
ance of failures during the summer had
the effect of putting damper upon
hew railroad work of all kinds, and u p
to late in the season there has been
nothing like revival in the business Of
construction ;and the new lines that
have been in contemplation the past
season will, owing to the difficulty of
inducing Eastern capital to take hold of
new lines at this time, remain uncom-
pleted at least until the coming year.

Fargo, Special: The Red river
valley, generally speaking, this year is
in a position, financially, a few points
better than last, while money is
little if any freer. The far
mers, almost to man, have wheat
to the credit, either in their own
granaries OF the elevators; but, with
81 cents per bushel, there is very little,
comparatively, being sold-the receipts
at the elevators having shrun k from 3, :
500 or 1000 bushels to 400, and many
days even less. The effect of the 10 "
prices is serious drawback to wheat
cultivation, and will have the effect OF
keeping back many who desire to en-
gage in wheat raising in the valley, as
also it will prevent hundreds who are
engaged in farming here at present
! from increasing their acreage. Much
land will not be cultivated next year
that was this, and considerable inquiry
in regard to blooded cattle, merits
of the different breeds, their ability
to stand cold and exposure, shows
1 that attention is at last being directed
1 to this branch of the farming indus
Try.
