MINNEAPOLIS MILLS.

The year just ended is a re-
markable one for the immense
amount of -four turned out by the
Minneapolis mills, says the North
western Miller. Heavy as was the
production of 1897, breaking all
previous records, it will be exceed
ed by that Of the present year by
over half million barrels.
There have been only three
months when the output Of each
was not over 1000, 900 bbls. The
mills in October and November
ran as never before, and the show.
ing for December will also be one
ahead of all former work. Low
freight rates have naturally been a
most important factor and contri-
buted largely to the conditions
which have permitted such i'm
mense production at season con.
sidered in other years the dullest
in the twelve months. The Min.
neapolis -four output for 1898 will
approximate 100000 barrels,
against 13, 1886, 900 in 1897. This
represents the consumption of so,
600, 900 bushels of wheat.

contained reports of trouble and
disorder in Porto Pico and Manila.
The government had not been ad-
vised of such conditions and at
once made special inquiries of the
commanders. Gen. Otis sent word
from the Pacific possessions that
there were no disturbances, and
that the natives seem quite willing,
as a rule, to be on friendly terms
with the American authorities.
Gen. Henry reported from Porto
Rico that there was no foundation
for the statements regarding his
district, and that all the people are
quiet and friendly.
