New York, Dec. 6.-Commercial de-

month of November numbered 974, with

there were ZIG failures for $3,501, sos.

Only two banking failures were report
ed, with liabilities of $450,00O, as COM,
pared with four year ago involving
$S23,000. Many small disasters swelled
the total number for the month consid-
erably above the three preceding years,
but the returns for November 1897, and
the three years previous were much less
satisfactory, even in regard to number.

Boston Commission Firm Buys UP
Minnesota's Visible Supply.
Minneapolis, Dec. &c. q. Howe,
owning large market garden near this
city and acting for a Boston commission
firm, has cornered the squash market.
Just before Thanksgiving he sent
agents turnout the country and bought
UP eight car loads OF pumpkins and
squashes which were sent east.
The home market speedily used what
was left on the market and it was dis
covered yesterday that there was not
a squash to be had in the northwest.
with the possible exception of 1000
owned by one farmer. He realizes the
situation and Is holding out for 81 a
dozen, which is equivalent to retail
price of Is cents each.
However, this price and higher must
be paid, as the visible supply has been
shipped to Boston. The long period OF
drought reduced the output of pump
kins and squashes to mere handful
this season, but no one seemed to real
ize this fact until Boston had secured
almost the entire crop.

There was notable decrease in the

returned yesterday morning from at
tend the live stock exposition at Chi
cago. He brought word that the Iowa
State College, as indicated in the press
dispatches, had taken q leading posi-

able Professor Charles f. Curtiss. Of the

duct an experiment in breeding cattle.
