report shows that the total arrears In personal
taxes In Brooklyn Is SiO7.7s 65. which the city is
unable to collect. Mr.. Hinrichs says In the report
II have no power to collect personal taxes. and In
tend to be relieved OF their burden. The whole
system OF levyng them and carrying them upon
our books is worse than farcica and contributes TO
make our entire tax system debasing and con-
temptible. II the books OF the city were ever TO

books the amounts chargeabe to profit and loss

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT.
Farmers in the Northwest Are Waiting
for Higher Prices.

Farmers in the Northwest Are Waiting
fer Higher Prices.
DULUTH. Oct. l5.-There is no doubt
that northwestern farmers are holding
back their wheat ON account of low prices
prevailing and marketing their coarse
grain instead. For several days past the
receipts of wheat in this market have fallen
below those Of last year. Receivers say
that offerings are daily growing lighter,
and the daily sales here support the state
ment. On the other hand, there has been
a more than corresponding increase in
coarse grains, though of course the daily
reports of Car inspection do not show as
large total for oil grain receipts. Dur
ing the first eleven days of the month the
receipts OF flax were equal to nearly two
thirds the total amount received during
the full month of September.
The quantity received during September
was SIC, $50 bushels, which was more than
came here during the entire last crop
year, while for the first eleven days of Oc-
tober the receipts were 527, S92. The same
proportion prevails with regard to all
coase grains except rye. The receipts of
oats for eleven days of October have been
5000 bushels, as compared with S1,245
bushels during the entire month of Sep
tember. Barley receipts during October
thus far have been 1866 1858 bushels, while
the total for the month Of September was
only $40, III bushels
OF course it is not reasonable to fear
that the wheat movement will continue
relatively small for any length of time.
Farmers who are averse to selling their
g. 4
grains to sell, will send the latter to mar
ket now and hold the wheat for the rea-
son that the coarse grains command rela-
lively much higher values in the market
than wheat. There is the further reason
that flax cannot be held in the stack as
wheat can with safety from damage by
tho clements
