The columns of our country news"
page indicate that several of our cor
respondents have as yet not recovered
from the exhaustion incident to the in

Crop reports so far received, indicate
that Fremont is the banner township
of the county in grain yield this year.
There are very few pieces of wheat
in that town that yield less than 80
bushels per acre, 40 bushels is a com
mon yield and a number of fields yield
as high as SO bushels per acre.
The statement of the First National
Bank, which we publish this week is
gratifying to stockholders of that lnstl-
tuition and it's stability is naturally a
matter of pride to our citizens. The
cash on hand and due from other
banks amounts to s13, 10000, while the
entire statement shows well in every
detail.
Frank Saunders, the courteous de-
pot agent, of this city informed us last
Friday that he had received official no.
tice from the general freight agent at
st. Paul, Mimi, that new rate would
90 into effect Oct. 9th, on grain OF all
kinds in car lots of a minimum weight
of $4,000 pounds. The new rate from
Lanpdnn to eastern terminals will be
20 cents per hundred instead OF ~
cents as heretofore, which will raise
the price of grain cent bushel at
this point.
There is difference between ele-
yator prices and the prices paid by track
BUYERS of from four to six cents pei
bushel on wheat and on flax the diff
ference is still greater. There seems
to be no good reasons for this condition
of affairs, unless there is an elevator
combine. but the fact remains never
theless that the farmer who does not
have to patronize the elevators ano
ships his own grain makes a large per-
centage Of profit by so doing. There II
Indifference in markets, however. The
Duluth price for contract grades
hard and / northern-is a couple Of
cents better than the Minneapolis
market. and consequently those WHIT
have that kind Of grain should shiI
there. The lower grades should b.
sent to Minneapolis.

then that as soon as he could secure
sufficient police force he would put the
law for their exclusion into effect
Hereafter only carriages Will be admit
