WILL FIGHT THE LAW.

The supreme court having upheld the
Gr1ndeland law, the commission men are
preparing to continue the fight. The law
requires them to give a bond and pro-
vides other trksome regulations relative
to the conduct Of their business Palmer
& Beck, the st. Paul attorneys who
fought the Redpath case in the courts,
have been instructed to apply to the su-
preme court for rehearing. Until the
law Is knocked out or materially
amended, the commission men say they
will be practically out Of business.
At the present time many dealers de-
clare their intention of giving up entire
ly the commission business, as long as
the present law stands. What they handle
IN the future will be bought outright
One prominent commission man stated
that the many so-called commission deal
ers In the city of Minneapolis did not in
reality handle much goods on commits
sion, and he went so far as to say that
the business done on commission on the
produce exchange did not amount to Is
per cent of the volume Of the business.
There are three points in the law that
the court did not decide upon.
