Views of DaIrympIe.

Oliver Dalrymple, of the world
famed Dalrymple farm, and accounted
one of the shrewdest men engaged in
farming, gives it as his opinien that
there will be q further advance in the
price OF wheat during the winter, but he
does not anticipate much advance nm.
til after the wheat has passed out OF the
hands of the farmers into the elevators
1t is believed by many farmers who ore
holding back their wheat for higher
prices that, Notwithstanding the light
crop, 1t Will bring as much money into
general circulation as last year, but Mr..
Dairy ymple does not share that opinion
The amount OF wheat they will be able
to hold back, he thinks, has been over.
estimated. The crop is unqEestionably
very light and most of the grain Of in
ferior quality, there being quite as
much rejected this year as Of No. 2 last
year. The farmers have notes to meet
this fell, and very few will have any
considerable quantity OF wheat left after
they are paid. The encouraging feature
OF the situation is that the present high
prices are likely to continue two or
three years longer. and with moderately
good crops We shall be able 10 realize
handsome profits that will enable the
farmers to pay off their debts. The eff
feet OF this will of course, be felt in all
lines OF business.

1t transpires that the destitution in
Ramsey county has been very much ex-
aggerated and that not more than
twenty five families need help. A
Devils Lake special says:
Auditor Ward arrived this evening
with So. OBS contributed in New York for
farmers here who lost their crops.
While it is true that many farmers lost
all their crops the condition of affairs
here has been greatly exaggerated
Outside OF the Jewish colony of about
100 families, located 20 miles north OF
this city, there has been no suffering as
yet. 1t is estimated that perhaps %
families outside of the jewish settle
ment need assistance this winter and
seed wheat in the spring. The yield Of
wheat Is much larger than expected
two months ago, when most alarming
reportR came in from ell directions and
something like panic prevailed. Prices
are also better. Business men report
the 2olume of collections about one.half
that of last year. Many farmers who
got good crops this season are holding
it for seed, which will bring q high
price in the spring. MIR. Hubert, presi-
dent of the First National bank, says he
can see no reason for alarm. He thinks
seed wheat will be forthcoming In abun-
dance in proper time II the country

Lord Sackvllle West, British minister
at Washington, is as much discussed
just now as the Rev. Mr.. Burchard was
four years ago. The difference, however,
between the two cases is that Mr.. West
speaks from high official position,
while Mr.. Burchard's utterances were
the rant of ON obscure and irresponsible
citizen. Mr.. West comes to the front in
his diplomatic capacity and advises q
naturalized Englishman to cast his vots
for Cleveland because Cleveland is the
friend of Great Britain, whereas the re-
publican party is not disposed to favor
that power to the injury of Americans.
Minister West expresses it as his belief
that the democratic administration is
just now indulging in bit OF bluster
against England for political effect and
that Cleveland and his partisans are at
heart favorable to all the concessions
old England may ask. These are the
words OF Minister West upon this branch
of his topic:
You are probably aware that any po.
litical party which openly favored the
mother country at the present moment
would lose popularity. and that the
party in power is fully aware of this fact.
The party, however, is, l believe, still
desirous of maintaining friendly rela-
tions with Great Britain, and is still de-
sirous of settling all questions with
Canada, which have been unfortunately
reopened since the rejection of the treaty
by the republican majority in the senate
and by the presidents message, to which
you allude. An allowance must there
fore be made for the political situation
as regards the presidential election. thus
