IS TT ONLY A BULL MOVE.
THE LATEST WHEAT CIRCULAR
 DISCUSSED.
Minnesota Alliance Men Say it is lssued by Spectators Whose ln-
 sens is Is to Hull tho Market.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept 16.-'sThe Farmers Alliance of Minnesota has had nothing whatever to do with the various circulars that have been issued from St. Paul advising farmers to hold their wheat for higher prices," said lgnatius Donnelly, president of the Minnesota State Farmers Alliance. ''These circulars, I understand, have the approval of what is known as the Reform Press association at Washing ton. although that association is not paying the bills. The Minnesota Alliance has taken no action in the matter, and will take none, as the members of the executive committee of the Alliance of this State agree with me in believing that such advlce cannot safely be given
 Neither of the two hold your wheat circulars" are genuine Farmers Ali ance moves, according to the Donnelly crowd. They have been issued from the office of the State, a new farmer paper, published by the wing of the Minnesota Alliance opposed to Don nelly. Both have been sent out as supplements to the State and in large number to the secre taries of local Ali ances throughout the country. The names of those Alliance officials were obtained by the State from the secre- tary of the Reform Press association. a man named Aver. located at Wash ington.
 The first circular was sent out ,00o. 900 strong. and the present one issued Saturday will have wide circulation. In Minnesota there are l ,342 alliances. each of which will receive from twen- ty-tive to forty copies of these circulars, in addition to the mum Der who received 1t through the newspaper. In the two Dakotas there are a larger number of alliances, all of which will also receive the same number of these circulars.
 The heavy expense incurred in issu ing these circulars is responsible for the charge that the Minneapolis Miller. or rather the English syndicate own ing the mills there, is paying the bills. It Is Q well-known fact that the men running The State are unable to stand so large an expense. The elevator men throughout tho northwest take this view of the matter.
 The author of the several circulars is supposed to be none other than Charles A. Plllsbury, the manager of the big Minneapolis houring mills. 4hi. 10 Ch thS paii side of the market and his company last year was caught with over Is, ,ooo, GOO bushels of wheat on hand, pur- chased at high price, and that was rushed east by way of Duluth just be- fore the new crop came into market. In spite of the fact that special rate was secured to Duluth and east over the Eastern Minnesota and %f .tA the syndicate lost Tn the eighborhood of 10 cents a bushel on this tremend- ous amount of wheat.
 George NJ. Muller, manager of The State denied that MT Pillsbury was behind these hold your-wheat" cir culars. We propose to save q few million dollars for the farmers of the country" he said, eff they will take our advice This idea was the origin of our now famous wheat circular, of which we sent out over one million about two months ago and which has started discussion about the bread stuffs supply that has helped to the extent of many million dollars even those who through ignorance or necessity threw their grain prema- turely into the hands of spectators. This second circular we issued in the same enormous mum bcrs, and in send ing 1t out we request all secretaries of alliances to distribute it promptly and have special meetings called to discuss it."
 While the Minnesota State Alliance has taken no action on this circular the enemies of President Donnelly claim 1t is due to the fact that they originated the idea The North Dakota Alliance. through it's secretary, Mclnnis, has been aiding the work of distributing the circular as far as possible. In South Dakota, too, the big guns of the Alliance are now engaged in the move
