Ct Give Up >Antl-Pass Flight.

Agents Of eastern lines stationed in the
twin cities are not surprised at the fail
ure of the attempt by their roads to put
into effect the anti-pass agreement for
next year. It Is understood that the
movement Is a sort of war against scalp
ers. So long as there are weak lines there
will be business for scalpers, and SO long
as traffic managers have to fight for every
car Of freight they receive in territory
not served by their own lines so long will
managers give passes for favors rendered
by travelling freight solicitors.

Sioux Falls g. WiiImar EARNINGS.

Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. 19.-The Sioux
Falls g. Willnar railroad will move up
from class c to class 3 of Iowa railroads,
because Of the record made last year by
the road. The earnings amounted to
81, 400 per mile, an increase of 20 per cent.

the road up notch. The Iowa laws pro-
vide that GLASS G roads shall receive 80
per cent more than class A: roads, and
class b lines. but IL per cent, so the change
in classification will cost the Willmar line

CENTRAL ASSOCIATIONS TURN
1t Is Expected to Advance Grain anc


It Is Expected to Advance Grain and
Flour Rates To-day.
The Central Freight association Is dis
cussing to-day an advance in rates on
grain and flour for lines running east Of
Chicago and st. Louis. Yesterday the
western roads advanced rates from the
Missouri to the Mississippi from to 8
cents-an increase Of 1914 per cent The
Central association will probably advance
the rates from the Mississippi to the
seaboard from 171s to 20 cents per hun
dred-an increase Of IA per cent. 1t is
a foregone conclusion that the eastern
roads will agree to make the advance.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce. Aug.
12.-Wheat opened higher this morning,
gained &c on an early jump to 6oc, jumped
again to 65ssc and at noon was back to 6o$sc,
holding steady. This was the immediate ef-
feet of the Jones report of the northwestern
yield. This Jones report showing total o.
17s, $50, 600 bu for the three states, was sur
prise to the pit traders, but not so much q
surprise to the conservative element who
have thought all along that favorable condi-
tions in the northwest, as to wheat proper,
were being emphasized a little too much.
The trade is now willing to believe that the
Increased coarse-grain acreage has cut into
the wheat acreage to an important extent, and
Is disposed to accept the Jones figures as
about right. Minnesota, Jones says, had
5,960,00O acres in wheat North Dakota $780,
900 acres and South Dakota $500. 900 acres
Minnesota has S2,150000 bu; North Dakota
Is, 100, 900 bu and South Dakota II, 100000 bu-
q total of IFS, $50, 900 bu. This is, with one
exception, the lghtest yield the northwest
has had for a period of years.
The government report was construed as
moderately bullsh on spring wheat the con-
dtton of S97 being lower than generally ex-
pected. The grain trade experts have been
figuring it out and the opinion is that on
winter wheat the yield will be about $50, ,O0e,-
600 bu, and on spring wheat 253. 600, GOO ou, or
6SS O0o, 900 bu in all. This would be about
112 900 900 bu under the estimates Of the/same
pool made a surprising showing Of firmness
against our decline of yesterday, and open
, ing unchanged, came A@asd up on second
! cables, closing at the advance. This was
attributed to another unfavorable turn in the
weather in France. In our own country con-
ditions were almost ideal, the late cold spell
giving way to fine, warm weather generally.
Local receipts were again light-only l06 cars
against 226 last year-and Duluth had %
against 49,
, Primary receipts were 1,273,ooo bu, against
B63, 900 last year, and shipments 26S,0OO.
| against $4,000 bu. Wheat and -four clear
auces equaled 325, 900 bu. Bradstreets report
OF the change in the worlds visible was de-
1ayed and will be out tomorrow. At the

New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE cotton market
opened quiet and firm with prices unchanged
to . points higher. Europe seems to be ab-
sorbing offerings here and commission house
business, as a rule, went to the long side.
Large arrivals of new crop cotton claims that
demand for cotton goods was almost at
standstill and disappointment in the temper
of southern spot cotton markets served to
check active public buying. The private ca
bles from Liverpool, however, declared spin
ners were showing greater interest in the new
crop months than in some time and were con-
tent to buy a large portion of the supplies
ahead at prevailing prices. There were few.
if any, August notices issued by local trad
ers.
Trade was dull all the late forenoon, and
prices failed to depart materially from the
opening. Midday bids indicated a net advance
of l to points except August. which was off
points. Spot quiet: middling uplands SC;
middlng gulf 9Ac. Estimated receipts at the
ports: To-day, 1000 bales, against 2, ,439 ac-
tual last week; for the week, 10000 bales
against 1915 actual last week: To-day's re-.
ceipts at New Orleans we're 205 bales, against
742 bales last year. and at Houston 1892 bales,
against 1,O95 actual last year.
Spot cotton closed quiet: mddling uplands,
