The Great Northern railway has re-
ceived reports from 361 of their stations
situated in the grain-producing district.
showing the crop outlook for the present
year to be as follows: The amount of
acreage sown this year will be fully Is
per cent greater than that of 1890. All
stations, with but one exception, report
the present conditions favorable for a
good crop. Seeding was delayed some
what by the wet weather, but all the
seed is now in the ground. The reports
received from the Red River valley dis
uict show that the crop of this year
promises to exceed that of 1887, which
was the banner year in the North
west. In the Dakotas plentiful supply
Of moisture promises that the districts
formerly affected by drOughtS will yield
good wheat crop this year. Farmers
are paying more attention to diversified
farming, great number having in
vested in live stock and commenced to
raise oIher grain than wheat. In some
localities but 20 per cent of the crop
raised will be wheat, the balance being
In other grains. The outlook, on the
whole, is very promising throughout the
entire wheat-raising district, farmers
feeling more encouraged with the pros
poets than they have for several years
past. If the present favorable condi-
lions remain unchanged, it is safe to
assume that the Great Northern Rail-
way company will transport not less
than $1,000, 900 bushels of wheat to mar
ket from the crop of 1891. The buSi-
ness outlook in general in Minnesota
and the Dakotas is exceptionally good.
of course, this is largely due to the
promise of good crops.

THE GAS INsPECToRsHIP.
Thomas j. Gehan, the Alderman S
Brother, Receives the Plum.

The candidates for Alderman Gehan's
seat in the city council are warm, de-
cidedly warm, just now. In fact. they
are almost as much disgusted as they
would have been had the other fellow
been elected. The cause of this is due
to the fact that the Ninth ward alder
man will serve his term out and his
brother will fill the position of inspect
or of gas and gasoline lamps, the mayor
having appointed Thomas j. Gehan TO
this office yesterday afternoon.
This sudden change of front has
driven eX-School Inspector d. E. Foley
not to drink, but certainly to busi-
ness. 1t has forced Ed Murphy and
Dan McEvoy to lay their booms on the

"reminiscences, the Citizens candidates,
of whom at least score day were be-
ing entered, are again at leisure, and
will probably use their time in working

General Tendency Is for a De-
cline in Prices for Beef
Cattle.
Stockers and Feeders, How
ever, Expected to Jump a
Point or Two.
1t Is Now in Order for the
Butcher to Cut His Profits
a Little.

Large receipts of cattle have been re-
corded at the Northwestern live stock
market during the past few days, that
is, large receipts for these markets.
Five hundred to 800 head of cattle, and
1,2O0 to ] 800 head of hogs have been
the records of late at the Union stock
yards, and are much more than the
average. The result is that values of
all kinds of live stock are lower than
they we're few days ago, and the city
butchers should go slow in advancing
their prices beyond the market values
of the present. OF course it is harder
to induce tradesman to reduce
his prices than it is to bring
about an advance, but when the condi-
tions turn against the rise in butchers
stock the public will. of course, look
more closely to the profits that are eX-
acted for their animal food. An inter-
view with one of the leading men of
Southern Minnesota is here presented: !:
This dry weather is no good for the
cattle market on Stocker and feeder
classes" said j. NJ. Larrabee, of LIE Roy,
Mimi, who was looking after his eXten-
sive interests in the live stock COM
mission business at South st. Paul yes
terday. He continued: prices have
declined so per cent on these kind S
during the past week, and beef price S
have felt the decline to-day to the eX-
tent of % per cent. The trouble is the
prospects for pasturage have been slim,
but it is almost unreasonable to think
that the present conditions will con-
tinue long. The stock cattle should 20
up, while the beef cattle may come
down, thus reducing the wide margin
which now exists between their values.
The butchers of the cities should not
press prices too hard on steaks and
rOaSts. The Montana cattle Will soon
be here, and high meats would increase
the competition with home slaughter
ers. l like to see the producers make
money, and, so far as stOckerS and feed
ers are concerned, South st. Paul is
handling great many gooG ones, which,
it seems probable, will improve IN val
ueS in a short time"

The St. Paul German Insurance
Company to Be Reinstated.

Company to Be Reinstated.
Insurance Commissioner Pierce, of
New York, has receded from his position
regarding the mortgage securities of the
st. Paul German Insurance COMPANY.
and that company will be promptly re-
admitted to do business in that state.
Hon. Albert Scheffer, who, with Capt.
q. a. Castle, is in Albany presenting
some new facts to the New York COM
missioner, telegraphed yesterday as
follows:
Everything understood for return cf
license after filing report showing change in
very small portion of Investments Am well
satisfied"
1t is understood that the insurance
department OF New York, after discoy-
erlng the falsity of certain conclusions
on the value of North and West st.
Paul realty, and in order to show cause
for the haSty action taken, has decided
that although the department erred in
its estimation of values. there is a tech
nlcal difficulty involving about $4,000
worth of securities aside from those
originally objected to. Mr.. Scheffer
stated when he left on this trip that he
anticipated no difficulty in securing JUS
tice to his company. The anticipated
NtNAAiu3N w OilS DuSlUtSS dS Il
result of the suspension, however, does
not appear to have materialiZed. The
business done for the first four months
of the present year was in excess of
that for the same period of the preced-
ing year by $4,000. The amount of
the securities originally objected to
by Commissioner Pierce on the
ground that the laws of New York
required that investments must be on
improved real estate. and that the st.
Paul German offered acre property, was
S24e,000. Ignoring the common prlnci-
pies of business courtesy, Commissioner
Pierce revoked the company's license
on technical construction of state
law. This injudicions proceeding can
only be attributed to the defective sys-
tenn of state supervision, and the fact
that officials lose sight of the pdrposes
for which they were created-those of
protection to the public and the encour-
agement of Legitimate institutions. In
surance Commissioner Smith has re-
ceiyed no notification of contemplated
reinstatement of the company. nor has
he received reply to the last letter he
wrote to Albany in connection with this
matter A more detailed statement of
The terms of the agreement arrived at IS
expected from Mr.. Scheffer TODAY.

Says the Boarder Beat Him.

Ariel Smith, a ten-year-Old lad, was
brought by his mother to the municipal
court yesterday, Mrs. Smith desiring to
have the boy sent to the reform school.
The lad was bright looking and did not
give any appearance of being vicious.
Judge Twohy spoke very feellngly to
him, and then sent him home. The lad
said that he had not misbehayed and
told GLOBE reporter, between his sobs,
that his father was dead and that a
boarder in his mothers house was
always beating and abusing him. The
attention of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children will be

Brilliant Reception to Mr.. Prince
On His Seventeen Birthday.
The residence of John S. Prince. at
4S7 East Eighth street, was the scene of
a brilliant gathering last evening. The
occasion was the celebration of Mr..
Princes seventeenth birthday, and the
number of guests present was suffi-
cient indication of the popularity OF the
genial bank president, From the num-
Der and magnificence of the bouquets
received by the celebrant during yes
terday from friends in st. Paul and
Minneapolis, it would seem that the
flower market must be depleted for
weeks. There was floral designs in
every corner of the house. Every
sort of blossom that grows
had been culled from the greenhouses
for the occasion, and their fragrance
filled the air. The guests began to ar
rive as early as O'Clock, and soon the
reception rooms were well filled. 1t
was regular reunion. All the older
gentlemen of society were present. and
OF the latter it may be said that there
was scarcely one whose hair did not be-
tray by tinge of silver the march of
time.

4 ! BOOM

Will be at South st. Paul.
The city will now soon have
a fine system of water works,
and the bridge across the
river at Spring Park will
bring in several new rail
roads. Then there will be
new manufactures on the
five miles of trackage built
for that purpose on the flat
below the stockyards. The
business at South st. Paul
has increased more than
any other business in Min
nesota within the last three
years, and it will undoubt-
edly be the great manufac-
turing part of st. Paul for
large concerns. Hence with
the returning tide of pros
perity, of which we see signs
on every side, there will un-
doubtedly be a great de-
mand here for homes for
workingmen. So, if you
want a home with a fine
view, pure air, good trans
portation for 5 cents, and an
attractive and cheap place
to live, buy one of our lots
in Union Addition. They
are within two to five min
utes of the station, and we
want to sell a few of them
for less than half-price to
people who will build. Just
think of a lot worth $500 to
$500 for $3.50 or $500.
We have also a couple Of
nice lots at Hamline, and we
have two at the. corner of
Woodbridge st. and Mary
