Flour versus Wheat as an Export.

The interests of our great railroad
systems are best served when the
greatest development of the various
industries of our country is studied.
That it is best for this country to
manufacture into -four the 100000
900 or 7OO,OOO,O0O bushels of wheat
which it yearly produces no one will
gainsay, If, however, wheat con-
tinues to move out of this country,
as it does to-day, at lower rates then
-four, it will not be long before all
foreign markets are closed to Amer
lean -four. Other countries are buy
ing our perfected -four mill machin-
cry and sending to this country their
extert millers to study our methods.
Given, therefore, our wheat at q
lower rate of freight then they can
import our -four, and given our ma
chinery and methods, it will not be
long before they will produce in their
own countries an article which will
be the same as the -four they have
heretofore bought from the Amer
ican manufacturers.
It would seem that the transporta-
ton companies would see the disad
vantages to themselves, the farmer,
the miller, and the community in
general in failing to study the best
interests of the American -four in
dustry. This evil can be easily rem
edied by the transportation ccm-
'panies agreeing to let flour for ex-
port enjoy the same rate that is given
to wheat for export plus the slight
difference in the cost of handling the
-four over what it costs TO handle

JUDGING eoLoRs.
It Is Not So Simple Matter as One
Would imagine.

Most persons think they have
fair discriminating power in match
ing colors, but a little test will usu-
ally show that their power in that
respect is woefully below the high
est standards.
An expert in dyeing fabrics in a
modern mill or factory requires first
of all unusual powers Of judging
colors, and the keenness and accu-
racy Of his eyes in this respect are
something remarkable.
While most people can easily dis
tinguish between pink, scarlet, car
dinal and magenta when seen sep
arately, it is quite a test to point
them out accurately when mixed to-
gether in the dyehouse. But even
this feat is small compared with the
work of Distinguishing the different
delicate shades which are used for
dyeing. In the dyehouse one must
be able to discriminate accurately
and quickly, for example, between
a dyed color of per cent and IL
per cent. Place these two dyes to-
gether, and not one in a thousand
would see any. difference between
them unless he had been trained
to Judge colors. The difference is
so delicate that even experts some
times require the two shades togeth-
er to make an accurate decision.
The power Of judging colors is
matter Of training the memory. The
measurement Of this color memory
decides the mans actual worth to
any dyeing establishment. It is
pretty serious and expensive matter
to have dye experts make errors in
matching colors, for thousands of
yards of material may be dyed be-
fore the mistake is detected.
zone might think that this exact
ing work of matching and discrim-
mating between coIors would be
hard on the eyes," explained fac
tory superintendent, "but just the
reverse is the case. The eye grows
in strength and keenness, and the
powers of color memory become alb
normally strong. If an expert had
to deal entirely with one color or
shade, his eyes would soon become
weak, and he would lose all power
of discrimination. But multitudes
Of colors presented to the eyes all
the time keep them strong and
healthy.
"Of course some of the shades are
so much alike that it is almost as
bad as gazing at one color, and it
would be for the average eye, but
the color expert gets rest and
change even in these delicate
shades. New York Times.

Weekly Market Letter.

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co,
Grain commission merchants, s
Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis,
80 Board Of, Trade, Duluth.
May lone week ago yesterday
saw the elimination of the strong up
ward movement of prices of the pre-
ceeding 10 days. Since then wheat
has lost from q to 3 cents per bu.
and recovered it, the close to-day be-
ing on level with the high point
for last week. July closed at 775.
Last weeks high prices were made by
the dry weather and the rains we're
responsible for the sharp decline of
Thursday and Friday. Late advices
are that the drouth is now broken
everywhere and yet wheat goes up.
There is no doubt that damage was
done in Kansas and although much
rain has fallen there serious crop
damage reports continue to come in,
The small primary receipts is very
surprising and is now prehaps the
chef hull influence. For sometime
exports have been larger than receipts
and for to-day are four times larger
being 1,112,OOO bu. The premium
for cash wheat resulted in large de
liveries on May contracts, perhaps 3
million bu., and the wheat went into
strong hands. We are informed that
primary receipts will soon begin to
increase, but there is no indication of
it at present
The Secretary of the Southern
Minnesota and South Dakota Grain
Dealers Assn, estimates the decrease
in wheat acreage at 10 per cent. The
domestic visible supply decreased last
week 3,792,OOO bu. ard the world s
visible decreased 6.8OO,0OO bu. The
market acts as though strong people
were under it, and it is possible that
last weeks boom which was inter-
rupted by rains may yet 'naterialize,
but we think it wise to take profit on
these sharp bulges.
