while riding mule was thrown and died from
the injuries he received. His widow sued
the Hospital for $1O,0 900 damages. The ruling
of the Court was to the effect that the Hos
pital was simply an agency of the State for
one of its governmental purposes, and that II

suit against the State. D. N. Henning rep
resented the plaintiff, and Guy w. Steele

CHICAGO

ulllDdlu shows improvement as com
1J pared with conditions rul-
ing recently, but the money stringency
has by no means passed, and high rates
have ruled again this week in the East.
1t is true there is no scarcity of money
in the West, and that the western banks
have abundant funds for all purposes.
But these western banks have been draw
ing down their eastern reserves and it is
predicted that the return flow of money
to New York will be later this year than
usual There are some different features
this year to the western situation, an il
lustration of which is found in the South
west and central West. There the corn
crop failed last year and in many locali-
ties hogs and cattle were rushed to mar
ket, as feedstuffs had advanced to abb
normally high prices. This year there
is one of the largest corn crops the coun-
try has ever produced, probably one-half
of which will be fed to stock. 1t is a
reasonable supposition that farmers who
cleaned out their establishments last year.
will now restock and there will be late
demand for money for this purpose which
the banks must supply.
The movement of so much of this corn
as will be marketed will be under way
early in November, which will mean n
heavily increased railway tonnage. and
that which remains on the farms will
make heavy live stock shipments some
months later This means good business
for the banks and railroads, increased
activity in all business lines and finally
cheaper meats for the people. And it also
foreshadows the car famine slowly creep
ing upon the railroads of the West.
OF all sections of the country the
Northwest leads in the enjoyment of pros
perity unaloyed, and business activity
unimpaired by anything of an unfavora-
bic nature if we except the handicap oc
casioned by the inability of the railroads
to move rapidly the immense tonnage Of

The government report says the three
States, Minnesota. North and South Da-
kota, have averaged 1871 bushels per
acre in spring wheat The movement Of
wheat to market has been increasing. vet
is light Aby comparison with last year.
Minneapolis -four mills are doing a good
business and there is the promise of its
continuance for some time TO come. The
speculative wheat market showed fair
degree of strength, but there is a lack of
outside interest. Meanwhile we are doing
satisfactory export busit. ss in wheat
and having shipped out 6,S70000 bushels
in the week previous we followed it up
this past week with 5.G46,000 bushels.
making a very satisfactory total for the
period Since July l we are far behind
last year, having exported 10. 1870, 492
bushels, against S0.567, S44 bushels; hut
we are far ahead of 1900, when in the
same period wheat exports were 5i.505,-
522. If the present rate of export con-
tinues 1t will not be long before the guam
tity available for export this year will be
lightened materially.
