MAY cunTA,L THE FLOUR OUTPUT.
Minneapolis Millers Look Upon the Situa-
ton as Serious. =

t.E ss--" 4N A--e H&E
Minneapolis Millers Look Upon the situa-
ton as Serious.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-The condi-
ton Of the flour market is such Us to
create the greatest concern among mill
ers. The plan has therefore been pro-
posed to curtail the output 100, 900 bar
rels per day from Dec. 10 to Jan. 10, a
total of, say. 10000 900 barrels. This
loo, 1000 barrels of curtailment is to be
made up by each mill contributing to
the whole that portion of its capacity
for which it did not have a sure and
Immediate market, and making for 80
days only as much flour as was needed
to keep the regular trade supplied.
1t is proposed to appoint a committee,
with power to increase it's members,
which would issue. a circular to mer.
chant millers and invite signatures to a
pledge whereby the signer agrees to put
a certain number Of barrels per day of
its total capacity into a shutdown pool,
extending from Dec. 10 to Jan. 10, pro-
viding a total capacity Of not less
than 100, 900 barrels per day is secured,
and to accept the committees state
ment when the necessary capacity has
been secured, and thereupon bind him
self to shut down his portion agreed
upon. The Northwestern Miller is con.
Quoting correspondence with manufac.
turers as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the
scheme, and as far as replies have been
received the consensus of opinion is de-
cidedly in favor of the plan as a whole,
but the individual suggestions and
amendments offered are as the sands Of
the sea il number. "

The Colorado Congressman Thinks Reed
Nav Favor Free Coinage.
DENVER, Nov. IL. Congressman LATE
Pence, defeated candidate for r~e-elec-

ratio Of 16 to / would come out of a
committee under Tom Reeds leader
ship in the next congress.
"There is left one solitary chance in
this century for free coinage" he con-
tinued. ."There are yet three months
left, and thank Cos, Bryan and Dick
Bland are not retired for that time.
(Applause.) In a few days I go to fill
out the term for which you commits
stoned me, by your unbought votes.
The plans we now have under consid-
GRAFTON may possibly bring us some re-
lief. Unless between. now and the
close of this congress something can be
done for silver, I read no signs in the
skies that indicate that silver will take
a forward step in this country"

A VERY GRAVE STEP.
officials at Washington Look Upon the
Offer Of Mediation Between China
and Japan in That Light.
NATTER SMALL.
Japan Has Not Yet signiied Her Ac.
ceptance, But Is Hourly Expected
to Do So.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Up to noon,
Japan had not accepted the offer of the
United States to act as mediator in the
war between Japan and China. Lengthy
cablegrams are passing, however, be-
tween the Japanese capital and Wash
ington, vita a prospect that a final de-
cision will not be long deferred. A
cable foom the Japanese authorities has
been received asking for more explicit
details. A lengthy answer was sent,
giving not only the desired details. but
adding features which it is believed will
show the japanese government the de-
STABILITY of the arrangement.
China has already formally notified
Secretary Grefham that she will join
Japan i'll acknowledging the %independ-
ence Of Corea, and will also pay a cash
indemnity. The amount she will pay
is not specified.
A Very Grave Step.
1t is felt in official circles here that
the gravity Of the action taken by the
United States is mt yet fully realized
by the public, as it contemplates a for
eign policy to which the Hawaiian in
cident is said to be trifing in COMPARE
son. Should Japan and China accept
the United States as mediator it will
close the greatest war since the Franco
Prussian conflict, and this country
will, for the first time, occupy a COM
manding position in deciding Asiatic
questions, which have heretofore had
the attention of European powers ouly.
At present the European powers are en-
%deavoring to reach an agreement
among themselves, by which they will
forcibly intervene. Five days ago
France presented a proposition to Sec
rotary Gresham to join in foreign in
tervention. This was rejected, as the
proposition of Great Britain had been.
While the European powers are thus
arranging the details Of their interven-
ton, the United States
Comes Forward independently
Of the foreign powers and offers to act
as mediator if China and Japan request
this service. In view OF the avarice to
secure new territory which is believed
to inspire the European powers it is
felt by officials and diplomats here that
Japan will accept the mediation of the
United States, although the hesitation
Of the Toxic authorities is taken to in
dicate that they want China to fix the
exact figures of the cash indemnity,
which cannot be, in the Judgment of
those posted, less than $500, 900, 900.
Japan's final reply is expected almost
hourly. If favorable, as is anticipated
here, an armistice would undoubtedly
be proclaimed by both countries, and
the battling about Port Arthur, Win
and Moukden will terminate.

THE CORN CROP.
Prairie Farmer Has Returns From Every
County in Corn States.


CHICAGO, Nov. B.-The Praire
Farmer says that local returns covering
every county in the corn states make
the average yield Of shelled corn per
acre a fraction above 2O.5 bushels. A
heavy acreage was planted this year
and in the early part of the season the
indications favored q crop the largest
ever grown. The midsummer drought
in addition to the general damage to
the crop resulted in the abandonment
ment of 1856, 900 acres, leaving the
area actually harvested only SO, 978, 600
acres. Shis makes the total crop of
the present year 1,437, O0O, 900 bushels.
including all qualities gathered, but
not including immature corn on the
area cut up. This latter item has no
recognized commercial value, but it has
a feeding value, and its use on the
farm practically enlarges the crop to a
small extent. The quality Of the crop
is poor.
The Feeding of Wheat.
The feeding Of wheat to farm ami
mails has steadily increased, and except
in those districts which have all abund-
ant corn crop, there is no evidence of
any tendency to curtail this use. It has
been demonstrated that grain has
greater feeding value, bulk for bulk,
than corn. Carefully tabulated local
estimates indicate that nearly 1917 per
cent Of this years crop has already been
thus used, equal to probably 50. 0 900
bushels in three months. When new
corn is generally available the rate Of
feeding will be generally less. The gen.
eral opinion Of correspondents would
seem to indicate that something over
100, 000, 900 bushels will be used, but
this is not presented as a definite esti-
mate, as the future feeding depends
upon the relative value Of corn and
wheat. It is given out as a fair indica-
ton Of what present conditions are
likely to bring about.
