PLENTY OF LAND LEFT.
N orthsrn Pacific Still Owns At, ooo, 900
Acres Of Land
ra Grant.

New York, Special, May 1.-Al-
though the northern Pacific Railway
company has sold practically all it's
land grant lands In Minnesota it is
by no means landless, for it has q
reserve of 26, 00O, 600 acres yet on hand
distributed along it's lines in North
Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington, which lie sufficient to retire
the entire issue OF $3.50, O0, 900 prior
lien mortgage gold land grant tours.
During the three years OF President
Mellen's administration the company
has redeemed 81, 30O, 600 of thesebonds
and more would have been redeemed
had it been possible to do so, but
under the terms Of the mortgage the
company cannot redeem more than
$500, 600 tof such bonds in any one
year, and it must even then buy
them in the open market. Even II
it had the money to n deem every
dollar of the bonds it could not do
unless the holders voluntarily sur
rendered them. The surplus money
which the Northern Pacific Railroad
company receives from the sale OF
lands must be devoted to improve
ments. This reduces the operating
expenses deducted from earnings and
leaves so much more surplus avail
able for fixed charges and company
had the full amount necessary divid-
ends.

the market has been disappointing. and
this has caused an increased movement in

OTHER GRAIN MARKETS.

GRAIN GOSSIP-Gossip by private wire
to C. H. F. Smith & Co., ST. Paul, mem
bers of the New York Stock exchange and
Chicago Board of Trade. Prime says:
winter wheat reports from Northern and
Western Michigan show that wheat is
fairly well covered with snow at present.
Farmers are taking rather blue look at
the winter wheat situation, not so much
on account of the weather as on account
of the fly. While the weather has been
severe upon the crop the opinion Is gain
ing ground that good weather would help
it materially. There are simply no re-
serves of wheat in Central and Northern
Michigan. Farmers are not inclined to
sell because they have not much to sell.
Country roads could never be better If
there was any wheat in farmers hands
to amount to anything, they would GER
tainly bring it forward. Spring wheat re-
ports from counties in the southern part
of North Dakota say that the ground is
bare of snow and has been so all winter
About three feet Of frost In the ground.
Early part of the winter was favorable
for moving wheat, so that all was moved
that farmers cared to move, and receipts
will not increase materially until after
seeding. Winter wheat reports from
Northern Kentucky show that wheat is
looking well. So far 1t has not been dam
aged by the weather. Reserves larger in
this territory than they were a year ago

Cattle receipts were not so heavy as eX-
pected. There were more buyers on the
ground than last week, and the market
was fairly active, although buyers sorted
closely, paying fully steady prices for
good grade stuff and refusing to touch
common and taiI-end cattle except at ex-
tremely low prices. Good yearlings, me-
dunn weight feeders and stock calves
were in best demand. Some choice calves
sold considerably higher than last week 8
top prices The common to fair quality
cattle were very draggy, and the former
sold extremely low. Butcher stuff was in
good demand, and the bulk sold at fully
steady prices, cows and heifers holding
was weak. The bulk of the good to choice
steers at s4.250525 Gamers sold at
steady prices.
