REPORT OF WHEAT EXPERTS.

A Shortage of 27e.oo5 Bushels at the
Duluth Elevators.
ST. PAUL, June 25.-The wheat in
vestigation was again taken up by put
ting G.. w. Brandborg, a grain dealer of
Henning, Otter Tail county, on the
stand. He stated that he had owned q
fiat warehouse for some years but had
lately disposed of it to a stock company.
Since then he had been renting. He had
always bought according to state in
spection rules and had shipped mostly
to Duluth. Charles Canning had handled
the major portion of his grain at Duluth.
he was well satisfied with his grades
during the first two years. In Mime
apolis he could not get his wheat graded
hard except in the spring. The third
year was that of frosted wheat, and the
grades were wild. He had frequently
lost grades. and described how. He
thought possibly his commission man
had not always held out cars for rein
spection when they should have been,
and had sometimes held them out when
there was no chance to raise the grade.
He wished to confirm his complaint to
the dockage placed on clean wheat.
This he thought was altogether too
heavy. In Minneapolis he had the
grade OF some cars raised. and the
dockage had been increased so as to
make up the difference. Witness said
the railroad companies favored the
agents by allowing them cars when
private buyers could get none. He had
been blocked for days at a time, while
the agents could get all the cars they re-
CURED. When the lawyers had finished,
MI. Claasen took the witness in hand,
and the latter admitted that he had
bought wheat for q higher grade than it
could bring. The experts appointed to
investigate the books OF the elevator
companies at Duluth were ready with
their report. It stated that 279, 095
bushels of wheat were shipped of which
there is no record so far as the experts
were able to ascertain. The experts will
testify in explanation of the report, and
MI. Severance said last night that they
would show that of the shortage Of
279, 095 bushels 26O, 900 was the burnt
wheat shipped out without inspection
by permission of the state beard. The
remaining II, 095 bushels shortage would
be nearly, if not quite, explained away
by showing clerical errors and other
mistakes in the records.
A motion was made to allow w. W.
Erwin SIS a day for services rendered.
This matter was discussed at some
length, and it was finally decided, by a
vote of 4 to 2, TO allow Mr.. Erwin a net
sum of $500. Mr.. Smith did not vote
on the resolution, but opposed allowing
MIR. Erwin any compensation.

closes down does not seem to trouble

the mine to close, but not so soon. It's

on hand before closing down. AS work

the people is expected.

The Brazilian Yield Several Million Bags
less Than Estimated. y
WASHINGTON, June 28.-The bureau
of American republics reports that esti-
mates of the Brazilian coffee crop of
1901, now coming to the market, con-
tinues to diminish. The first estimate
was 5000, 900 bags, the next $500, 900,
now it is believed that the crop will not
exceed 1920, 600 bags. N~otwithstand-
ing the incentive of higher prices than
have ever been paid before, the daily re-
ceipts, do not average over 5000 bags.
DISCRIMINATION of labor is the chief
difficulty, and should it continue it is
estimated that the crop of 1912, now
placed at S,OOO,O 900 or 1900, 900 bags.
will not yield more than 5000, 900 or
1000, 900 bags.
Growth OF Argentine.
A statistical summary of the growth
OF the Argentine Republic since 1861
shows that in thirty years the popula-
ton has increased from 1860 to
4,O00, 900, and the number of
acres in cultivation from $780,
600 to 10000 00. In 1861 the
only railroad in existence was from
Buenos Ayres to Merlo, a distance of
eighteen miles. New there are over
5000 miles of railroad open to traffic
and 5000 more in course of construc-
ton. Commerce and the national
wealth have multiplied five times over
within the same period, but the public
debt has increased in much greater pro-
portions. Il was SIT, 900, 900 in 1881, in
1890 it was $401, 600, 1000 exclusive of
Cedulas and the paper currency, which
would raise it to 1913, 900, 900.
The questions of boundary, which
have been pending for many years as to
