cent wheat. Was ever a more

ton set up by any sane man?
In the first place, it was absurd
to suppose that the elevator
man wouldgo to theexpense and
trouble of mixing wheat that he
had no interest in, and in the
second place it is foolish to the
point of imbecility to say that
6S-cent wheat can be degraded
by mixing 72-cent wheat with
it.
The chief inspector of gram at
Buffalo has made an absolutely
unanswerable reply to Mr..
Reishus' charge when he says:
CAL grades below No. 1 hard
have been very uneven, and too
wide range has been allowed
in these grades. Much of the
No. | Northern wheat from Du
lu+h would not stand mixing
with any other wheat without
lettering the Northern. To me
it is a significant fact that our
millers will not purchase any of
this wheat without first seeing
a sample of it. When I was in
the Northwest last spring I en-
deavored to tell the people of
Minnesota through the press
that they could not sell No. 2
Northern or No. 3 Northern by
covering it with No. 1 Northern
certificates, and it looks to me
as though they had come to
realize the fact"
It is the old story of Populist
delusion that the fiat of govern
ment can create a value. The
chief Inspector of Minnesota
simply takes it for granted that
by stamping a cargo of wheat
"No. | Northern" the value of
that wheat is "created" up to
the price that rules for real No.
/ Northern wheat. It is upon
this assumption that the de
partment proceeded when it un-
dertook to redeem the pre-elec-
ton: pledges of the Populist
orators that they would ''re'
form" the inspection bureau.
They have" reformed" it by ut
terly demoralizing it so that no
buyer in all the world today
would, make a fraction of :: a
cents variation in the price of a
thousand carloads of grain be-
cause of the inspectors certi-
fcate of grade.
The inspection department as
It stands today is doing good
work for those few memb ers of
the Populist party who are
drawing salaries from it, but so
far as concerns the grain grow
ers and producers of the state it
is simply a burden upon them
without the slightest offset in
the way of an advantage.

REISHUS' GRAIN GRADES.
Inspector at Buffalo, N. T., Has Some.
thing to Say About Minnesota
Inspection,

ST., PAUL, MIMI, FEB. 81, 1900.
The farmers of Minnesota and
North and South Dakota are
beginning to experience some OF
the fruits of reform in the Pop
plist grain inspection bureau.
For the first few months of it's
existence the bureau was able
to pursuade the grain growers
that they were being benefited
by a more "liberal" system of
inspection but it was inevitable
that the change in the system
should work to the ultimate dis
advantage of he farmer. Grain
buyers were distrustful OF the
bureau from the time it went
into Populist hands, but: they
showed their intentions to give
it fair trial by making pur-
chases in the usual way on GER
titicate> of inspection. It was
found that when these certih-
Gates, followed by the grain
itself, were presented to the
buyers, that there was a wide
discrepancy between the face
of the certificate and the char
acter of the grain. This, of
course, destroyed confidence in
the inspection system and re-
suited in the immediate estab-
lishment of the system Of buying
by sample, the inspectors GER
tifcate of grade being totally
ignored.
4
Long before the eastern buy
er had become aware Of the
fluctuating character of the
Minnesota grain grades and the
inaccurate and bungliuy work
of the Minnesota inspectors,
the buyers at Minneapolis aud
Duluth had discovered that the
reform inspectors knew nothing
whatever about the quality OF
grain, and paid not the slightest
attention to the grade fixed by
the inspector in making the
price@of the grain. 1t is found.
and will be shown by reference
to the daily market reports of
Minneapolis sales of cash wheat,
that it is a matter of common
occurrence for wheat upon
which the inspector has placed
the grade 'No. | Northern, to
to sell as low as whole cargoes
that have been graded ''reject-
ed" or ''no grade" In other
cases it is equally noticeable
that cargoes of wheat selling at
the ruling price for No. | or No.
2 Northern are found after the
wheat has been bought. to have
been graded by the inspector
as "rejected-snltty.
**
The grain trade is probably
the best organized of any bust
ness in the country and has its
agencies at very shipping
point and ultimate market in the
world. OF course, it was i'm
m ,diateiy Motif ii of the unsat-
isfactory condition of AFFAIRS in
the Minnesota inspection bureau
as soon as it had become appar-
ent to the local buyers. The
discovery of such irregularities
in the system, as was to be ex-
pected, led to an immediate
system Of buying by sample and
the complete demon alization OF
the system of inspection as gov
erning the price.

For the purpose-o OF ascentaining the

system OF operation has been inaugur-
atcd which involves the running Of a

mel should have been run several years
ago. and the omission 20 operate Inc
mine boy this system certainly was an
error and grave mistake, as II Is est-
mated that when completed and con-
ncction made with the ore bodies apd

WOOL

On all OF my experience In the wool
business" said a veteran dealer TO the
News this morning, II have never
seen the market In as perpleKing a
condition as u Is az the present time.
The fact Of the matter is we are all
clear of our feet. We simply DO not
know where we are at. For some time
our eyes were on the London sales
which opened on Thursday last We
expected that they would show de-
cided suTening and that we would thus
obtain a cue 20 our future operations.
But instead Of showing greater strength
there was a further weakening prices
being from 10 10 10 per cent lower than
they were during the London May sales.
You ask me what the cause Of this
anamolous condition Is. I cannot tell
you. There IS a multiplicity Of causes;
and an are demoralizing. There have
been but yer. few sales In Utah this
week The few that have taken place
are all Of the small order with prices
so low that neither buyer nor seller
cared 90 state them II IS a fact, how
ever. that several offers at Is cents
