st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. l2.--It is
positively charged here this after
noon that the now famous Hold
Your Wheat" circular, more than
100000 copies Of which were mall
ed from st. Paul was inspired by and
paid for by heavy owners of wheat
in Minnesota. Harlan L. Hall, edi-
tor of the Evening News, the only
daily alliance paper in the state, said
this afternoons:
II do not state as n matter of
guess work, but from positive infor-
nation. that the so-called farmers S
movement had its origin i'll Mime
apolis, and that spectators III that
city are the head and front of the
scheme. 1t is true, stranger has
been imported to conduct the deal,
the home parties being too well
known to show their hand openly in
the game. The Minneapolis crowd
have some 100000 bushels of
wheat on hand, and an advance of
10, Is or 20 cents in wheat. during
which time they could unload their
old stock and then turn anl bear the
