AS usual at this season Of the year the
low stage of water In the river interferes
with the running OF the mills For the past
ten DAYS this difficulty has increased so that
with ali mills attempting TO run. none have
been able TO do anywhere near full capa-
city. At meeting OF all the West side
mill owners Wednesday evening. Ii was
agreed that certain mills should run full
time-twenty-four hours-for a week
Then they shall shut down to permit of the
other mills running. This order went INTO
effect yesterday morning at o'clock when
the Crown Roller, Petit. Northwestern and
Standard started up. They will run this
week out. and on Monday the regular
weeks apportionment viii take effect. At
that time the following mills will start:
Dakota. Holly. Minneapolis. Galaxy. Cata-
ract. Humboldt. Palisade and Zenith. The
three Washburn mills. which have steam
power I'm addition will run one-third time.
On Monday Pillsbury & Co. will shut down
the Anchor, so that this power. alternating
with steam. viii keep Pillsbury b running
continually. The new arrangements will
tend 10 increase rather than lessen the
weekly output Of -four. for the reason that
every mill which it does run, Is grinding at
nearly its full capacity.
Northwestern Miller: The -four market
has livened up TO some extent. and about
all the mills would be in operation were IL
not for low water. this alone holding the
output In check. There were sixteen mills
/ that last week made -four, several starting
up late in the week. The production of
-four amounted TO 90, CAS- baIrels-ayeraging
-. $50 barrels daily for seven days-against
~. 500 barrels the preceding week. and
81. 600 barrels for the corresponding time in
1885. There were seventeen mills running
but were the power good the number would
undoubtedly be twenty. Those i'm opera
ton represent a maximum capacity of
10000 barrels. but they are probably not
/ turning out more than $4,000 or Is. 900 bar
rels. OF the latter. about $500 barrels were
being made by steam. three mills being thus
operated. wholly or partly.
The mills running. or rather attempting
to run last week were the Crown Roller. St.
Anthony. Cataract. Holly, Minneapolis,
Northwestern, Palisade, PilIsbury b. Stan.
dard, Union. Washburn A. Washbum G,
Phoenix. Galaxy, Anchor. Petit and Pills
bury A, whose maximum capacity Is 90. 00C
barrels. The three mills last named are op
Grated in whole or in part by steam. and the
Crown Roller engine will be started ND IN
about week. The Minneapolis wa:
started Monday, the Galaxy on Wednesday
and the Humboldt will follow Monday
The Zenith may be placed in operation
soon If the Northwestern does not &c
along very well, changing places with tina
