0CTOBER'S FINE SHOWING
TRADE FOR THE MONTH BIDS FAIR
TO BREAK ALL RECORDS.
Past Week Has been n Busy One, with
Grain Markets Are Better.

The good business done on the wholesale
streets in the week ended on Oct. 26 estab-
lished the fact that the business total of
this month is TO be record breaking and
that while goods have been sold on close
margins, in the aggregate profits have been
satisfactory. During the week several lines
of dry goods advanced in price Coffees also
advanced, and sugars are firmer in tone
than ten days ago, although the demand
is not as large. the canning season being
practically past. Linseed oils reacted, and
declines of the early part of the month are
nearly overcome by the advance of last
week. Leather is il strong position de-
spite the easier tone in price for hides.
Poultry, eggs and butter, during the en-
tire week, were fest movers and on moder-
ate receipts in the latter part of the week
prices closed a shade higher than on Mon
day. On Commission row it was a lively
business week and prices on all lines of
fruits and vegetables were well main
tanned. Choice apples advanced 81 a barrel
and the more common apples so cents
Grapes are in good supply, but being active
sellers accumulations are not sufficient to
cause decline In price. Pears are in large
supply and are selling at low figures Irish

potatoes are nrmer, and cabbage and
onions are weak at prices quoted. Flour

There is an active market in hog produce
although prices are not as firm as a few
days ago. The iron and steel merchants

Rumors of Boom in st. Paul.

[Granger Farwen & Co.'s telegram
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The bank state
ment was better than expected. so far as
the reserve was concerned. This had rather
a favorable effect and bidding for ST. Paul
helped railroads somewhat The close OF
active stocks in general was not above yes
terdays prices. While industrials were
weak, especially Copper, which closed two
points lower on heavy Boston selling, some
well-informed people here believe that both
Copper and Steel stocks are going lower
and the action Of the latter IN gradually
dragging down since the favorable state
ment was put out has a tendccy 10 make
holders tired. st. Paul was again rushed
up in the last half hour, and tips are out
that il is going twenty points higher, and
that very soon. If so IL must be for some
special reason aside from general condi-
lions. If IL should be advanced as predict
ed ii will help the market for rails. and
I'm such cases profits should be taken in
long stocks.

Graft is still the leader of the Independ-

moreover, these operations last week, re-

extent be counteracted in the near future
by payments for gold received a Pacific

There appears, however, to be a prospect

have a decided influence on bank reserves,

noted above. The surplus reserve is now
about 5000. 600 higher than il was a year
ago, and some good judges of the situation
feel convinced that the movement Of money

seem probable that the export movement of

Regarding irrigation Districts,

\ part Of the farmers of the San Luis
Valley are preparing to form an irriga-
tien district under the laws of 1901, and
as u large number of Montezuma farmers
are interested In the same way, THE
STAR gives few extracts from an ar
ticle in the last issue of the Alamosa
Courier upon the subject:
1.-The law under which an irrigation
district can be formed is a new one with
which the farmers are not familiar, but
the subject is well worth the study of
every person interested ~ irrigation in
CoioraGo.
"under this law majority of the
resident freeholders iii any portion of
Colorado may petition to have an irri-
CATION district formed. These petition
ers must represent n majority of the
land In such district which is owned by
residents, land owned by non-residents
being not considered except that all
land in the district shall bear an equal
portion of taxation. If the county
commissioners approve the petition and
the boundaries of the district the free
holders may then proceed to organize
in much the same manner that n
school district is organized. The dis
trict may buy or construct canals and
reservoirs and vote bonds for payment.
1.-The law safeguards the rights of all
parties and places the control of all
matters absolutely in the hands of the
resident freeholders of the district. 1t
brings about the public ownership and
control of the water supply and makes
possible an equitable distribution of
water which seems to be impossible
under present conditions.
''The chief objection which the farm
er seems TO finl is the danger that in
the change Of system their present
rights to the use of water might be
taken away without adequate compen-
sation. They have acquired these
rights with much labor and expense.
They fear, too, that in some way the
law favors the nonresident land own
er. A careful study of the law will
serve TO remove these objections, since
ii provides compensation to the present
owners of water rights, and is entirely
in the hands of these resident free
holders themselves to see that such
compensation is just and adequate
that no present holdings shall be bought
by the district for more nor for less than
they are reasonably worth The nom
resident land owner pays the same
taxes as the resident but has no voice
in the management.
"The law offers grand possibilities
for the enlargement of the water supply
and the betterment of the farmers con-
dition and no one is competent to pass
judgement upon the advisibility of
forming this proposed district without
making careful, unprecedented study
of the question. The law is so far
reaching and its workings so different
from the present practice of handling
the water supply that a conclusion can
not be fairly reached in a minute or a
day 1t would pay every farmer inter-
ested to take week off, turn his work
over to the hired man and spend six
days in careful study and thought on
this proposition. 1t is worth while"
