SEED WHEAT SCARCE.
Northwestern Farmers Have Sold So Much

MISSEAPoLls Mimi, Feb. 19.-By reason of
the high premium that has been paid for choice
hard Northwestern wheat in the terminal mar
kets all winter. the farmers all over Minnesota
and North Dakota have sold themselves SO bare
next spring. From $4,000 900 to $4,000 600
bushels of wheat arc required in the two States
for seed, and only the choicest and cleanest
wheat is used. There has been premium over
May for this sort of wheat, ranging from to 5
cents bushel, while May should te worth
about cents more than cash, owing TO the cost
OF carrying the grain till then. This excess in
value has made spectators OF thousands of
farmers. who. when they have sold their cash
wheat. have bought the May option at the dis.
count. ana they are now carrying millions of
bushels OF May here, or in Duluth or Chicago,
on which they already have profits as high as
In the past few years tho quality OF wheat
grown in the Northwest has deterioratcd. Ten

To THE EDITOR OF THE suS-sfr: On Sunday you
published article from the Utfoa Herald in which
the credit OF proposing the Erie Canal attributed
70 several men But the name OF the right one does
not appear among them-at least De Witt Clinton
gives credit for st proposing the route to whose
name Is now seldom mentioned in connection with
the canal.
In writing historical sketch of this city q few
years ago had occasion to look some facts about
the canal, aud among the interesting things that
came across was the following statement attributed
TO Gov Clinton: christopher COLES. q native of Ire
land, who settled In New York. and who before the
Revolutionary war. proposed a plan for supplying
that city with good water was the first person
who suggested to the Governments OF the State
the canals and Improvements on the Ontario
route. COLES was man of good character,
an ingenious chanician and well skilled in the
mathematics Unfortunately for him. and perhaps
for the public he was generally considered vision.

with rdicule and frequently with distrust"
