Some Improvement Shown by Last
Woek'S Record

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Aug. 16.-The
Northwestern Miller gives the follow
ing epitome of the weeks milling news:
There was little improvement in the
output of the Minneapolis flour mills
last eek, the daily average being 33, 46S
barrels. against 27.74O for the preceding
week and 29.5j1 for the cores spending
period of 1888 The flour market is
much less active than it was a week
ago. The sales of local mills last
week approXimated 10, 900 barrels. The
higher cost of flour prevented foreigners
from doing very much. and export sales
were lighter. Recent sales for London
have been On the basis of 13s Cd. and 14s
for bakers, and 20s and 20s Cd for
patent. The output for July was the
lightest in any July for eight years, and
was over 100000 barrels short of the
average for July in that period, which
was 652.35 barrels. while last months
figures were but 543,6S barrels. The
present prospects indicate an aggregate
output for the crop year of 100000
barrels.
The output at the head of the lakes
last week, though large, showed a de-
cline from that of the week before. the
production being 1928 barrels against
9S.06S barrels for the preceding week
aid 42, 265 barrels for the same week in
1898. Exports were large. amounting
to one-third of the production.
There was no material change in the
flour output at Milwaukee the past
week, the production, both for last week
and the week before. being close to the
$4,000 mark. The volume of business
is still on the gain. and millers are feel
ing correspOndingly better than they
were few days ago.
The total output for the week at St.
Louis was %, 400 bbls, as compared with
90, sos bbls the week previous Receipts
were 27.340 bbls. decrease of 6,O75
bbls from the week before. Shipments
were 51.45S bbls, an increase of 1.SO7, of

GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS.
Important Work Outlined for the
Coming Year.

Coming Year.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. Director of
the geological survey has submitted his
plan of operations for the present fiscal
year to the secretary of the interior, who
has approved it. Special attention is
to be given to the survey of the mineral
bearing areas of the Appalachian re-
giOp, ranging from Virginia to Florida;
the Lake Superior region. Colorado,
Idaho and California. The topographic
work will be carried forward in twenty
states, large share of attention being
devoted to the arid lands, semi-arid re-
gion of the interior and to the Pacific
coast. Thirty-three topographic par
ties ana twenty-seven geologic parties
will be in the field, five of them
employed in the Rocky mountains and
their foothills. The gauging OF streams
and the determination of the water
supply OF the United States, including
the examination of underground cur
rents and arteSiau wells, will form an
important branch of the work. This
line of investigation is practically new
departure, and was specifically provided
for at the present session of congress.
The collection and publication of sta
tistics exhibiting the mineral resources
Of the country will be continued, and
efforts made 10 make this volume even
more accurate and complete than here
tofore.
Under new regulation of the depart
ment, only persons who are skilled i'll
the various lines of professional work
are sent out on the surveying parties.
