why Wheat is Booming.

A leading firm in Chicago gives tho
following reasons for the recent advance
of over cents in wheat:
"The bullish factors which have
brought about this advance, and which
promises to keep it 90 active until some.
thing like old prices for wheat are reached,
are, in the order Of their importance, as
follows:
l. The financial panic put every one
into the notion Of turning goods Of every
kind into money. Two years of llquida-
ton have passed, and now capitalists are
loaded with non productive money. They
are beginning to thirst to exchange
it for something which will pay profit,
and this has caused advances in the
price of all staples. Witness the boom
10 silver, oil, cotton, meats and wheat.
2. The panic drove wheat to the lowest
prices on record, and perhaps 10O,0O0,O00
bushels of it was fed to farm animals.
3. Everyone got into the habit of buy.
ing from hand to mouth, from the fami
lies which ate the flour, UP to the i'm
porters who supply the mills. As re-
suit warehouse stocks of wheat in Eng
land and on the continent are only from
one-third to one quarter what they form
erly were. Now, as needs are becoming
urgent, they must buy at no matter what
price. The recent advance has not shut
off export sales.
A. Farmers stocks Of wheat here are
5OOO0,OOO bushels less than usual, and
as a result interior mlllers cannot secure
the wheat they need from farmers and
are buying at primary markets. This
has put the cash price above the May
price IN the northwest and equal to it
here
S. Other countries which compete
with us as exporters have very light
crops Of wheat; notably Argentine, Aus
tralia and Russia. Moreover we are the
country which can supply wheat the
quickest to importing countries, and IN
times Of need they buy of us.
We believe these causes combined will
put wheat back to the neiRhborhood of
70cents."

The entire properties embraced under
the name and title OF the North Dakota
Milling Association. were levied upon
by the sheriff, Thursday afternoon. The
plaintiffs in this action are the Msndsn
Roller Mill company and the First Ma
tional Bank OF Mandan, said to be the
principal creditors of the association,
whose joint claims amount to little
over $139,OOO.
There are Is mills embraced 10 the as

county, one at Casselton, one at Bis.
marck, one at Mayv;lle, one at Moorhead
and one at Mandan. The assets of the
company far exceed the liabilities, snc
the action was taken not because the
mills did not pay, but because of dis
pute in regard to the management. Tie
mills will probably be opened in short
time under new management, after q
reorganization.
It was decided Wednesday by the
plaintiffs that levy must be made, and
abe matter placed in the hands OF Ball &
Watson Of Fargo. Among other things
done in the matter was the securing IN
Boston of sl30,OOO bonds, which we're tele-

parties, armed with the necessary au-
thority, left for the various parts Of the
state, and between minutes OF 800 and

how close the levles came to missing fire
it might be stated that at twenty minutes

railroad lines into that territory A
visit to some Of these Russian settle
ments is OF much interest.
A gentleman from this city, who re-
Gently visited those counties says these
settlements are first reached IN the east
ern part Of Logan county, near the
Stutsman county line, extend west to the
Missouri river, and indefinitely south
into South Dakota. Russians are every.
where and 1t is a rarity to hear the Eng.
lish language in some localities.
The soil contains considerable mari
and brick clay. From this they make
sundried brick. The adobe houses-the
barn Is always portion of the house,
and located in ona end--are substantial
and in some instances quite large. One
owned by Russian who was evidently
quite thrifty man IN his native country,
was 30 by 60; additional adobe buildings
sheltered the cattle, poultry and hogs.
About one-third of the house was used
as horse stable. Many of the families
exhibit extreme poverty and seualor and
general lack Of dishes for the table.
At one place where dinner was taken
the culinary apparatus consisted of but
two cups, two plates, frying pan, q.
wash dish and two knives. The wash
dish, in which their solutions were per-
formed, was used to boil the potatoes and
eggs. and out OF It they ate bread and
milk portion of the monday meal. OF
course during the getting OF meal it
was necessary to frequently cleanse this
most useful utensil. Notwithstanding
this defect everything was good and
clean.
A settler was visited who had in 100
acres of wheat and fax, seeded entirely
by hand, and intended to SOW 70 acres
more. A man hired at "a month drove
bis team a narrowed the land. In
another field noble looking old man
was seen leading horse attached to
half drag. Their nearest market ia
Dawson, Kuhn or Eureka each distant
40 miles or more. Threshing is done by
means of separators whose motive power
is furnished by oxen.
Dried manure and hay is the chief, if
not the only, fuel used in tie large
"ovens" with which the houses are sup
piled. During the summer the manure and
refuse ls collected, spread on the ground
foot or more in depth and then cattle
driven back aud forth over it until it is
thotoughiy compressed and compacted.
After this mass has dried 1t is cut up
into cakes or blocks of convenient size,
piled in long "ricks," eight or ten feet
wide and dozen feet il height, and the
whole plastered over to keep out the
rain. The fuel is used from one end Of
this supply and is always dry.
These Russians read South Dakota
papers, in many instances when they
read at all, and when they vote vote the

muscle and skill to bring her over the

pressed himself as satisfied with the de-
cision rendered by the cup committee on

the matter had seemingly been settled so
amicably that 1t was question in the
minds OF the public if Tuesdays race

and not far astern Valkyrie, moving
slowly and apparently benG on business.
This was a sight that pleased the hearts
of all.
Last night the observer at Sandy Hook
had reported an l8-knot breeze and
although the breeze this morning passing
out through the Narrows was hardly up
to this, yet it was one calculated to bring
happiness to yacntsmen and the promises
of a speedy run. But there was scarcely
a breath of air and there was no i'm
provement at the light ship. The course
marked up was fifteen miles to leeward
and return. starting off the lightship.
There was some little delay while the
racers were circling sluggiishly around
and it was noticed that Valkyrie was
lacking tospail and was simply sailing
under mainsall and jib At firs6 this
caused no wonderment but as the start
ing hour drew near the strange action OF

through a megaphone 20 the committee

peate d the question. Again no answer.
The Defender went over at 4 :04 36. She
was greeted with another most enthusi-
astic salute as she did So The time. as
taken by the committee represented that
she went over the course IN 4:44:l2.
With the % $. allowed her, her corrected
time was 4 AZ Al.
Later on in the afternoon an atte m pt
was made to see Lord Dunraven. He was
invisible His friend and adviser, Com
modore Glennie, said that his lordship
had gone away up in the country some
where he did not know where. In an
swer to question whether or not Dun
raven would sail in a race, or series of
races, at Newport or Marblehead, away
from the madding crowd of New York,

thought it very unlikely. He hardly be-
lieved that his lordship would again sail
vakyrie on this side, though he could
not state what would be done with Val
kyrie in the immediate future. He said
he intended to return to England very
soon, and he hal an idea that NalkyJie
would do the same. When it was pro.
posed that Defender might 60 across next
year and race i'll England. Mr.. Glennie
made no reply, but turned his head and
bade the reporter good night.

The preparatory gun was not fired until
about twenty minutes after the fixed
time. In the meanwhile gun was fired
from the committee boat, a signal denot-
ing that getaway would take place.
The announcement was made from the
patrol boat that Lord Dunraven had re-
fused to race unless clear course was
guaranteed by the committee. So far as
the committee was concerned it seemed
impossible to do more to secure a clear
course than had already been done. for
when the preparatory gun was fired the.
nearest boat to the racers was fully half
mile away and the great majority IF
the excursion steamers and other craft
were much furtner off in the distance.
The starting gun went off at the appoint
ed time. Almost the same instant De-
fender crossed the line. Walk yrie's COM
mander had so manueuvred her that she
was still long way off and just before
the handicap gun was fired she ITO
crossed the line. 1t was evident to those
who had been watching the English
boat that she had no intention of racing
and so 1t proved. for no sooner was the
liue crossed than she hauled to on the
starboard tack instead of following her
rival out and passed under the stern OF
the lightshlp. This action on the part of
the English boat was not an actual sur
prise. for events had led up to it and had
Indicated either a termination not to
race. or a strange and wonderful freak on
the part of the British seamen. A score
or more steamers started for Valkyrie,
while half huhdred steamed In the
direction OF Defender.
The American was making good head
way with her spinnaker set and after
starting at II 20 IA rounded the first mark
at :26: :5S and finished at 4:04 :4G. In
the light breeze this was particularly
good performance and the beat to wind
