coal mines have already been opened up
along the Northern Pacific Railroad, the
veins varying in thickness from three to
twelve feet. Farmers in many localities dig
their supplies from the outcroppings in the
hill sides. The chief mineral district OF the
Territory is in the Black Hills. whore are

DakotR's wheat crop Of 1887 exceeded all
the other States and Territories in the num-
Der OF bushels sixty-two million. while in
the yield OF oats il took fourth place, and
in corn exceeded two-thirds of the States.
Dakota's crops are grown OH land worth an
average OF $40 an acre as against $50 and
500 land in the States. Seven counties OF
Dakota in 1887 raised twenty-three million
bushels of wheat and eleven million BUSH
els of oats. This was in the valley OF the
Red River Of the North. which Baya-d Tay
Tor called the Nile OF America. The soil of
Dakota needs no fertilizer or irrigation.
All the crops of the last Federal census

The settlement Of Dakota is mainly con-

in the last four or five years that settlers
began to occupy the country west Of the

mostly along the line of the Northern Pa

The negotiations between the officials Of

sorbed the Mann Boudoir Car Company and
the Woodruff Palace Car Company. have
closed at New York City, and an agreement
executed by which the Pullman Company
obtained control of the opposition corpora

ture OF about $500, coo. and leaves the Pull
man in control OF over one hundred and
fifty thousand miles OF road for palace-car
service. AS soon as the agreement was
signed the holders Of the Union Palace Car
Company stock delivered their certificates
and received checks at once. President

port.
The review of trade for last week. "a re-
ported by r. q. Dun X Co., is rs follows:
The state OF trnde is unusually perplexing.
for with general complaint OF dizziness there are
evidences that the volume of transactions is
large The payments through banks last week
were % per cent. la ger than for the correspond
ing week last year ut New York and Ii per cent.
larger ut all other citios. Railroad earnings
also show that the traffic is large. The demand
for money Is sufficiently active at nearly all
interior poiuts, moreover TO indicate that a
largo business IL in progress. Yet IL is
undeniable that the prevailing temper is
one OF DISAPPOINTMENT at the result OF
business since the new year began and
this is not wholly explained by the steadily
declining prices of products. Al Southern
points, after some depression, trade appears 20
be improving. In the Northwest trade is fully
equal TO that OF last year and at some points
clearly larger. The supply OF money seems To
be everywhere ample for legitimate demands.
There are no indications Of general unsoundness
or overstraining OF commercial credits. In the
great iron Industry consumption for all other
than railroad purposes appears TO be larger than
ever, but here is serious disturbance. do
cline in the price OF coke is considered
probable, ana the anthracite coal market
continues weak. The decline in wheat
continues, the price having fallen 2M cents
for the week. Corn has fallen a cent and
oats nre lower Pork products have also de-
cined, mess about o. cents per barrel, lard 20
hnd hogs 10 cents per 100 pounds. Cotton Is o

Edward james. an English tim plate manu-
facturer, was I'm Pittsburg. Pa. says n
special telegram looking up n location for
the Pope Iron < Tin-Platc Company of Tip
ton, England which it is proposed to move
there. Mr.. James said TO reporter that
over Sl,00).000 had been contributed by
English tin-plate manufacturers and
merchants TO defeat the clause in the Sem
ate tariff bill imposing a duty on tin-plate,
and this sum has been judiciously placed
in the hands Of lobbyists for that purpose.
In the event OF the passage OF the bill the
industry woull likely be wound up in En-
gland, and the many workers would flock 10
this country. There are 2O3 tin plate mills
IN Great Britain. employing 100000 men.
