THE MINNEAPOLIS MILLS.
A Slight Decrease in the Production of Flour
Probabilities About Shutting Down.

MINNEAPoLIs, Nov. 1.-The North American
Miller will tomorrow say: Under pressure
of most adverse condition of trade the mills have
begun TO slacken their pace and allow the -four
production to wane. The stoppages looked for at
the close of our report week ago failed to take
place, and beyond small loss in the output
the operations of the week were UNMARRIED The
total output reached 162, 645 barrels, averaging
q, 100 barrels daily, against 16S, 100 barrels the
preceding week, and 10000 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1884 At noon
Wednesday. three mills were idle and twenty
running. The latter. as rule. run strong. ard
the output for the week will not be materially
changed. tending toward lower figures, if any
thing. There seems to be much uncertainty
about the mills shutting down as there was ten
days ago. Although the milers claim they can
only run at loss, there are several reasons why
they should keep At present the mills
will have full head of water aid other
facilities for running which will be
interrupted after cold weather sets in
Anchor ice is expected to soon make its appear
ance, ana that usually makes, for q greater or
less period the operations of the mills iaborious
and expensive. With the comparatively dry
fall, low water during the winter is regarded as
more than probable. The millers. therefore,
think it is better for them to run now,
while everything is in their favor than to
shut down and take chances of low water
etc, later on. AS result. no general shutting
down may be looked for before the 10Th or Goth
instant Some firms yet have a few orders to
run on, and others have begun to store little at
home.

the week were 900, 758 brls which does not include
about 10, 600 brs to Canada. The receipts for

A NEEDED DECISION.

That it is lawful for lady to wear a
w-necked dress at a ball is conceded,
but it has long been felt that an au-
thoritive definition of the limits Of the
territory known as the neck is needed.
How far does the feminine neck ex-
tend, and precisely where does it be-
come merged in the contiguous terri
tories of back and bosom? Men, of
course, know nothing as to this matter,
and women seem to know very little
more. Something in the nature of a
boundary commission with power to
make an exhaustive survey is clearly
needed.
At last we are about to have this i'm
portant boundary question settled by a
judicial decision. A young lady wear
ing a low-necked dress was recently ex-
PEELED from a ball by one of the man
ayers on the ground that her dress was
too low. She appealed at once to a
court for redress, and the court will
have to decide how low a low-necked
dress may be worn, or, in other words,
what are the precise limits of the femi-
nine neck.
With the methods by which the
court will arrive at its decision we have
no concern. 1t is evident, however,
that the court will have to appoint
commission of experts who will make
survey and fix boundary which, in
their opinion, should be adopted as the
southerly boundary of neck. Such a
report, properly illustrated with topo-
graphical map, would give the court
sufficient data on which to base a de-
cision. At any rate. decision will be
made, and we shall soon know the true
extent of neck, and be able to decide
at glance whether any given low
necked dress keeps within the terri
torial limits or whether it unlawfully
encroaches upon territory not apper-
tanning to neck.-Ne1y York Times.
