Dec. 3O-Commencing Friday week
ago, Wheat advanced cents per blu. up
to Friday the 9th, losing cent on that
day and Saturday. This morning Liver
pool was off I'D. and Paris equal to one
cent per bu. Liverpool closed I'd.
down, this depressed wheat another !
cent here on the start, but when the
visible supply came out showing a de-
crease of $4,000 bu. for last week wheat
went up sharply, gaining over Il cents
from the low point. 1t closes to-day
was as follows: Chioage-May wheat
821 cents B. May corn 664 B., May oats
454 B. Mpls. May wheat 784 May fax
1.39 B. .-. IN
The strength IN wheat at this time IS
surprise to many people. A dull
market being naturally expected during
the holidays. The market has been
helped by small receipts and. by great
scarcity of Red Winter wheat; small
worlds shipments and a recognition by
the United Kingdom and Europe Of its
dependency upon the United States for
supplies. A premium of from 8 to 5
cents over the May option is now being
paid for Red Winter Wheat. Receipts
last week were 3,l54,000 bu. We think
receipts will continus moderate for the
near future. .+
There are persistent reports Of crop
damage in the Southwest. It is claimed
that the snow has disappeared leaving
fields without protection. The great
strength of our markets to-day in the
face of the big decline in cables shown
our independent position andour ability
to fix prices. Wheat is still the cheapest
cereal, and if receipts continue light the
price cannot be much longer held down.
Liverpool quoted corn at the close to-
day II lower, but after selling to $50
cents corn advanced in sympathy with
wheat to 664 B. For sometime now the
price of corn has been sustained by the
strength in wheat. s.
Flax continued to advance OF small
receipts and small stock on hand. The
May option gained s cents o-day. Write

New Ulm, Wednesday, january I 1902


n s=.T i
The passing of the year of 1901 re-.
moves from the calendar one of the most
remarkable epochs of the age. It has
been twelve months of events that have
changed the destiny and the lives ofmany
people. A year of almost unprecedent-
ed prosperity, The farmer, more than
any other class,h has seen the greatest bene-
fits of the year and the dawn Of the ne W
year finds us all looking out over the
broad future that lies all untried before
us, hoping and wondering whether it
has in store tor us better or worse pro-
visions. Il
Here in the narrow environment that
surrounds our little city we feel that the
new year is to be one that means much
to Us all. The past IS dead as far as its
service is concerned but its lessons re-
main to show us wherein we have done
wrong, 80 by its light we can determine
that which is to benefit or curse.
AS the light of the old year faded into
the morning Of the new, so let all diff
ferences pass, and if any resolutions are
to lie made let it be that we all shall
pull together for the greatest good to
the city and for that which will up build
and magnify the Importance of Brown
county. In this we can afford to lay
aside personalities and be broad enough
to see beyond that which operates only
for ourselves. That man lives who finds
his happiness in the blessings of others.
So let US build that our deeds shall not
be like bubbles floating on the cup of
immortality and expiring with the
breath of time, but let it be the deeper
draft from which succeeding generations
shall drink and feel that they who went
before were men.

BIG DIVIDENDS,

Paying Investment.

Delta Enterprise: AS an illustration
of the possibilities of profit in Iowa
lands take the experience of o. K.

of Delta. Two years ago he bought
the farm of 1873 acres for a fraction
less than s4s.50 per acre. Last week
he sold 1t for $40 per acre. The diff
ference of over s22 per acre is clear
gain as he has made good money from
the farm during the time of his own
ership, and all improvements added
will not exceed $3.50.
Mr.. Grew sold because he was Of
fered his price for the farm and will
re-invest his money in Iowa real es-
tate, the safest and most profitable

OLD TIME RESIDENT.
Grandmother Flanders Has Lived
in Mahaska County 60 Years.

On September 23rd a few of the
neighbors of Grandmother Flanders
assembled at the pleasant residence
of her son-in-lsw, Daniel Mattix, for
the purpose of emphasizing her
eightieth birthday.
We were favored with almost con-
tinuous rain during the day SO the
attendance was small.to what it would
have been If the day had been fit for
the older people to drive out, but
those who were there enjoyed them
selves to the fullest extent, and only
regretted that the rain kept away
several of Mrs. Flanders neighbors
of fifty years ago,
Mrs. Flanders left New York in her
younger days and came to Van Buren,
county from which she came with
her family in 1874, to the farm where
she has ever since lived.
In that day there were no ferries,
nor bridges. over the streams, so they
had to watch their time and cross
the Des Moines when it was low
enough to ford. Their horses, cattle
and hogs were forded over but the
sheep had to be left on the east side
of the river for awhile to await lower
water.
Not lick of Improvement was on
their land when they occupied it but
Mr.. and Mrs. Flanders went to work
with will and with strong muscles
they carved a fine farm out of the
wilderness of tall grass.
Neighbors werei widely scattered
then. When they wanted -four they
hauled their wheat go miles down the
river to the nearest mill. But about
two years later small mill was built
on Cedar Creek in eastern Marion
county where corn was ground and a
year or two later fourishing mill
was erected on Skunk river in this
county which made "millin" so con-
venient that the trip might be made
in two days, provided that the mill
was not behind time with its work,
in which case each customer would
have to wait his turn to get his grist
ground.
Many were the hardships and dis
appointments of that day to what we
have now. In fact doubt if there
are many among our population now
who have the courage and muscle to
develop a wilderness as did the
pioneers of sixty years age.
As the evening grew near we left
Mrs. Flanders, doubtless pretty tired
from the manysstories of the earlier
days that she told US, all hoping that
she might enjoy her present good
health for many more Septembers.
may add that Daniel Mattix, at
whose home the entertainment was,
is the oldest person in the township
who was born here, having been born
here in 1S46. X
