FARMERS. HOLD YOUR WHEAT,

The Grand Forks Plaindeasr has recently
been advising the farmers to held their wheat,
and it gives the following facts and figures in
support Of its position. It says: "Absut two
weeks ago we took strong ground In favsr Of
the producers holding the present crop. Every
day since then farmers have been in and in
formed us that they did propose to hold. Many
said they did not know just how they could,
but wsuld anyhow until 1t was forced from
them by too anxious creditors. This spirit il
not only warrantable, but thoroughly esm-
mendable under the circumstances. 1t IL Of
financial interest to every ono interested, either
as owner Of property or credits in this North
west that the farmers should get the last dol
lar out OF their wheat A more definite view
OF tho wheat situation can be had new than
few weeks ago, when we urged to have the
wheat held, aud every circumstance and fact
since developed adds 10 tho correctness Of tho
position taken. The most reliable authorities
place our winter wheat crop at 2O7, ,OO0, 900
bushels, and the spring wheat yield at 12O,-
100000, while tlireshing is reducing this latter
estimate at least ten per cent. The outside

against $40, 600, 900 bushels last year. We shall
carry over surplus from last years crop Of
about $4,000, 900 bushels, and with this wa have
agrand total for bread, seed and expert of
37O,0OO,0O0 bushels. Our requirements arc a.
follows: For bread, 300, ,0OO, 900 bushels; seed,
45,OOO.0OO bushels; manufactured articles, 1O,-
OOO, 600 bushels; making total Of S55, 900
bushels, leaving available for export absut
100000 bushels. From the lot Of Septem-
Der, 1854, to the present date, one year, our
exports Of wheat and -four amounted to no.
100000 bushels. The returns irem all the
wheat producing countries Of the world, ex-
espting the United States, for the year 1885,
eiyeu total yield Of 1866, ,OOO, 900 bushels. The
somi- official returnss for the present year show
a falling of of l69,00O,OO bushels from tho
above yield Of 1854. Add 10 the forejrn short
age Of 169,ooO,OeO the aMaNpt exported from
the United states Last year, lao, ,0OO 900 bushels,
and IT gives total Of 3OO, O,OOO, 900, which rep
resents the amount the United States will bs
called upon to supply to the foreign demand.
To meet this we have surplus Of but 5,OOO,-
OOO bushels, 20 that it seems that an active de-
mand for 100000, 600 bushels, with only 15,-
100000 supply cannot but bring csod prices.
We believe 1t absolutely safe to hold tho wheat,
and would again urge the necessity upon the
farmers to arrange Tor maturing obligations
some esAaF way than by sacrificing their CROP"

Peck's, OF some other, bad boy was around on
Sunday last when party OF staid Old gentle
men were quietly locked up in an attorneys
sffiee into which they had been beguilsd, and
were thus prevented from attendance at church.
The act of escaping through tho transom,
which was performed by one Of the party, who
is quite bulky old gentleman, it is said would
make fine illustration for enc Of the pictorial
papers. After the party had been in contine
msnt couple Of hours the attorney eppor-
tunely made his appearance and released the
party, much to their delight.
The new railroad and warehouse law is al
ready bearing fruit and while many imperfsc-
items have doubtless already been discovered
aud others will be disclosed in time, still the
fact that there is such law, and that comnis-
sion mon from Duluth and Minneapolis are
reaching out for share of the business that
has heretofore been controlled exclusively by
the elevator companies, is waking these CON-
panies up to the necessity Of modifying to some
extent the arbitrary rules they have heretofore
impssed upon farmers. Many of these COM
panies are now making concessions in their
charges for handling and shipping, and are
also prepared to make liberal advances to such
farmers as desire to store and hold their wheat.
A little more competition in carrying aud
handling the products Of Dakota, and it will be
possible fer farmers to realize something more
than bear pttance for their labor.

There was some Improvement in TO-

At times the market was fairly active,
but the movement of prices gave evil
dence that most of the trading was the
direct result of manipulation late in the
day. Business relapsed into a degree
of dizziness seldom equalled. The move
ment in prices was quite irregular, one
or two stocks moving upwards, while the
others were neglected or weak. Gener-
ally speaking, however, Gould stocks
and Lackawanna led in the morning de-
cline, and the Northwestern in the after
noon advance. The dullness was so
great late in the day that the market
closed without any decided tone. There
was slight advance at the opening in
many cases, but it was soon followed
by general weakness. Union Pacific
was weak in the forenoon, but after
fuctuating with a. loss of 70 per cent,
closed at 472s.

well for the shaping of future legislation
