Northern Pacific Freight OF

Our Citizens.

Af Vh0 m00tl08 between tepto0eut0r
tives Of tho Northern Pacific Ran.
way's freight department and Z
committee Of Little Falls citisens
Wednesday afternoon resulted very
satisfactorily to the latter. although
no definite understanding was
reached. The company was repre-
ossnted by j.. o. Dalsell. travelling
freight agent. and H. z. SIN. super
intendent Of traffic for Minnesota.
The citisen's committee consisted OF
j. II. Rhodes. A. Tanner and F. =.
Cawley.. and several hours were
spent In discussing the freight rate
situa ton. at the Bnckman hotel:
After the meeting the railway men
were taken around town and short
interviews were held with several Of
our leading merchants cad business
men. S'#r
The merchants had no complaint
to make in regard to merchandise
rates. It was shown to the COM
pany's representatives how this city
woulo be greatly benefited by q re-
duction in produce rates, which
would at the same time increase the
company's revenues by making this
place the market for certain produce
that was now marketed at other
points and shipped over other roads.
While nothing definite was prom.
Used, the company's representatives
spoke very iavorably concerning a
reduction in rates on wheat and po.
tatoes, both to Duluth and Mime
apolis. II tho reductions expected
are granted 1t not only means q con-
adorable increase In business for our
merchants. but will be Of far greater
benefit to the farmers, for: whatever
amount is cut of from freight rates
will be added to the price paid for
the produce. While the farmer will
receive the greatest benefit, the mer.
chant is also anxious for. these re-
ductions. TOR 1T. will bring q great

1t necessary, fl,r his own good, to
have him placed In some institution
where he could have the best OF care.
; Sawyer has had. an idea he could

he was before tho knife was used.
The police feared that he might at
tempt to carry out this idea. and
his friends were notified that II he
was not taken care Os the police de-
partment would have to act. ~.

Ih consoIs due to the English military
eyerses at Ladysmith made shorts ap-
,preheneive for a time, but as foreign
ers were reported heavy sellers at the
seaboard this feeling soon disappeared
and a slight reaction took place on
profit taking5. Reports of an import
ant increase in the German duty on
wheat encouraged liquidation, but as
the session progressed, the market be-
came exceedingly dull with long pauses
between trades. Enough confidence
was manifested In December wheat at
around zoe, however, to prevent any
material decline until an increase Of
but 100000 bushels in the visible sup
ply was posted, where double that
amount had been expected, infused a
little animation into the trade. Shorts
covered freely during the late trading
under which the market took sudden
up turn and closed strong within a
fraction of the best price of the day.
December opened &c higher at 70A
@703sc, advanced to 701ac, declined to
701sc and closed with buyers at 7Ossc.
Chicago received los cars, % of which
we're graded contract. Minneapolis
and Duluth got 900 cars, compared
with LIS for the CORES onding day
last year. Total western primary re-
ceipts were 1926, 900 bushels, against
1,858,000 bushels a year ago. Export
clearances from Atlantic ports in wheat
and -four equalled $4,000 bushels.
Corn was active but somewhat I'M
settled. The market opened rather
easy and irregular and declined under
heavy liquidation owing to slack
shipping demand and disappointing
cables. A decrease of 100000 bushels
in the worlds visible, coupled with
esormous clearances, forced shorts TO
cover near the end and the early loss
was fully regained, the market closing
strong. Receipts, 453 cars. Clearances,
], 123,000 bushels. December opened a
shade lower to shade higher at 31A
Q313sc to 31ss@31hc, declined to Biz
@3lAc, advanced to 3112@319sc, and
closed at 311ac.
A good cash demand strengthened
oats and the October option got on even
terms with December, scoring an adj
vance of A@a.c. The other futures
held their own. Receipts, 203 cars.
December opened unchanged at 22Bc,
declined to 22%c and advanced to
227sc.
Provisions were dull and irregular.
Packers sold lard and ribs owing to
continued heavy receipts of hogs and
lower prices at the yards, but pork
ruled strong on account of the uncer-
tainty about the proper Interpretation
to be put upon the amended rule con-
lcerning barreled pork. January pork
closed shade higher at $9.70@9.72k,
January lard 5@775c lower at s5.321a,
and January ribs 21s@5c lower at
$4.95.
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
Wheat, 100 cars; corn, 240 cars; oats,
100 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.

It is probable that the two vacant
lots which were disposed of at a sale
OF the old Koehnlein property, will
be purchased by the Lutheran congre-
cation as a site for it's proposed new
church building. The. lots were sold
to Messrs. August Schad and H. W..
Schrebe for the sum of $1,000. The
latter gentlemen are members OF the
church and have given the congrega-
tion option on the piece of ground.
The property is in the north end at
point above Bogg's run and is quite
a desirable location for such an edi-
flee, 1t is the intention of the congre7
cation to put up a large modern buiid-
ing in the near future.

Early yesterday morning a tramp
claiming to be from California, arriv-
ed in town and feeling tired, repaired
to the Wheeling steel plant and lay
down near some hot molds. He soon
went to sleep and during his slumbers,
the intense heat from the hot metal
caused him to be badly burned on the
back After awakening he secured
medical aid at the Emergency hospi-
tai To the attending physician he
stated that he felt no pain from his
injuries, as he was so afflicted with
paralysis, as to be devoid of feeling to
"a considerable extent. Later in the
day the stranger departed from the
town.

DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, October 31--A wet,
stormy day has cut down spot business
materially and seriously interfered
with shipping operations. The market
has therefore ruled quieter than of late
in all departments. No change In gem
eral tone, which continues strong, and
indications favor further advances in
brown, bleached and coarse colored cot
tons. Print cloths inactive througout
and full prices maintained. No change
in prints or ginghams. The export de-
mand is light. Woolens and worsteds
quiet. Mems wear in fair demand.
