LONDON. Dec. o-The Morning Leader
states that American statesmen In tho Smith
field meat market have acquired TO large
extent the power TO control prices owing TO
their astute methods and their sklful home
backing There has beon no organized
opposition to them by English Eraziers. who
have long been under the thumbs Of the
butchers. The lstters' cupdity led them
into the arms Of the Americans
The only active opposition To the Ameri-
cans has been due 10 the consumers preju-
dice In favor NJ English and Scotch beef
IL has taken twenty years TO overcome this
prejudice. but now American beef brings
the same price as English and nearly thu
same as the primest Scotch. The condition
OF the market is such that the practice Of
butchers palmlng on American beef as Eng

PROSPECTS FOR NORTH DAKOTA.

PROSPECTS FOR NORTH DAKOTA.
There is little doubt that the men
who are at the head Of the great lines
of railroad in the northwest r more
than satisfied with the volume of rail-.
road business at present, says the Min
neapolis journal. More than that, the
outlook for q continuation of the same
conditions is most favorable. The de-:
mands made upon all the trunk lines
for the past year have taxed their re-
sources to the utmost, and it has re-
quired all the strategy of their man
ayers at times to handle the business.
That the volume Of business, both
prospective and present, will lead
them to- construct new lines and feed.
ers there is no possible doubt, though
none of the men at the head Of any of
the systems is willing to make such an.
admission at the present time

have been connected with the Northern
Pacific for the past twenty-seFen
years" said he, land / regard its pros
poets today as the brightest they have
ever been. There is a great flood Of.
Immigration all along our line and any
one can see that it means more bus
iness for road We have got to
carry what they raise to the markets,
and bring them the products of the
factories. The more settlers, the more
crops to export and the products to Inn
port. That looks logical, and It seems
to be a conclusion from which it is not
easy to escape" Speaking Of the
prospect for the immigration Of 1900
families to the state next year Mr..
Hannaford says:
These immigrants will raise wheat
and flax. Three thousand new farms
means q large increase in productive
acreage, and it ought to follow that the
number of bushels raised will be cor
respondIng1y augmented. Quite a
large number of settlers are going
down into the southwestern counties
where the land is not so well adapted
for wheat raising and these are going
to devote themselves to raising stock
and to diversified farming, for which
both the soil and the climate are fav-
orable. They will make money, too.
and 1t will be but a few years before
those who are prudent and good man
agers will be as well fixed as is neces-
sary.
