URGED TO WAIT.
Northwestern Farmers Again Advised to
Hold Their Wheat for Higher Prices.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 14.-Alliance
men Of Minnesota, North Dakota and
Sotth Dakota have been comforting
here for several days on the wheat sit
uation and have issued 1000, 900 circular
letters of advice and warning urging
farmers to put their wheat in bins and
wait for the price to go to Sl.50 or 50. A
comparison of notes showed that wheat
was being poured into the elevators OF
Duluth and Minneapolis at the rate of
from 900 to 1900 cars a day. and that
the price at Minneapolis had dropped
in a fortnight from 81 to 9o4 cents.
The conclusion was reached that if the
mad rush to realize didn't stop the
price was liable to drop away to 80
cents -.
The letter states the new Wheat
Growers association and the alliance
secretaries all over the country
are unanimous that wheat is
bound to sell as high Us sl.5o, and pos
sibly 80 per bushel, and they are unan-
imous in this warning to the farmers
not to sacrifice their wheat and give the
spectators all the profit there is in 1t.
The letter says that the crop is being
greatly overestimated by the newspa-
pers and grain dealers, and continues:
1--WE do not believe majority Of the farm.
ers are foolish enough to cooperate with the
spectators to depress prices further. There
is no question but prices will take turn up
ward in few days. The shortage in Europe
can now be figured with accuracy. About a
week ago congress Of grain dealers from all
parts OF Europe met at Vienna, Austria, and
Computed figures about the crops in Europe.
These figures are the highest which we'll
informed reputable men could furnish, for,
II in famine year like this they should
give for the crop Of ary one country
lower figures than circumstances justi-
fed, the government Of that country would
cert ainly demonstrate. 1t is surely the policy
of Europeans not to exaggerate their disaster.
1t is entirely certain that Europeans will have
to economize IN bread to the extent Of 678,0O0,.
OOo bushels, and when the situation is aggra-
tated by the partial failure Of the potato
crop; 1t Is u be considered what
prices they Would pay for American wheat.
The shortage in Europe being four times as
large as the American surplus, there is no
doubt that the price of wheat will reach the
highest figure ever known before this year is
up and will exceed it by far before the new
crops come in.
Wheat will soon be over s1.5), no matter
how much farmers and spectators work to
gether to keep prices down. and we would ad.
wise those who can comprehend the situation
to hold their wheat for 81 SO and add for every
month they keep it say five cents to the price.
Hold your wheat You cannot get left"

AN experiment made at Montreal of
completing a cable circuit to make a
continuous line of eight thous and miles
shows that electricity travels that dis
tance in one and five hundredths Sec
onds, whereas nerve force, which is cal
culated to travel only at the rate of a
mile a minute, would have taken near
ly a week to make the journey. These
are the calculations made in defense of
electrical execution.
