GOV VAN SAINT. We're: NEON, an
SAINT and Attorney General Douglas of
Minnesota, Gov. Herreid and Attorney
General Pyle Of South Dakota. Gov.
Hunt and Attorney General Stratton of
Washington, and Gov. Toole and Attor-
ney General Donovan of Montana.
Gov. Toole delivered an address of well
come, after which the conference was
organized with Gov Van SAINT as chair
man and Attorney General Martin as
secretary.
Gov. Van SAINT made short speech,
in which he said:
THE State of Minnesota has had on
the statute books for more than twenty
five years laws prohibiting the consolida-
ton in any way of parallel and compet-
ing lines of railway. 1t has been the
settled policy of our State to maintain
a free, open and unrestricted competi-
ton in freight and passenger rates.
The Great Northern and Northern Pa
ciic Railway companies operate parallel
and competing lines of railway within
the State. These are practically the
only roads which furnish any transporta-
ton facilities to the northern half of the
State, with the exception of the two
known as the Iron Ore roads
1T has been recently announced that
Mr.. Hill and his assistants have obtain
ed the control of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company and intend to operate
the same Jointly with the Great Northern
and in effect bring about a consolidation
by removing all competition and all rival
ry between these roads.
TO this end the Northern SECURITIES
Company was organized in New Jersey
to acquire a controlling amount of the
stock of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific Railway companies In eN
change for its own stock and it is through
this company that the unity of manage
ment and control is to be effected.
"As soon as this fact became known
to me | felt it my duty as Governor TO
do everything in my official power to OPP
pose the consolidation or amalgamation
Of these properties within the State OF
Minnesota.
If there is such a consolidation CON
templated, and that fact seems to be
practically conceded, it is an open viola
ton of the law as well as che declared
public policy of the State of Minnesota,
and feel that | should be negligent Of
my duties as the OIlttdl H'dh VI tuc Att"tN
if | remained quescent under such cir
cumstances.
THE people of the State of Minnesota,
feeling certain that competition has oeen
the chief factor in its development and
equally certain that T. destruction would
result in the greatest loss to both pro
Queer and consumer, have determined to
oppose this consolidation.
This determination is not ente ed in
to with any spirit of hostility toward
railroads. Our State has dealt literally
with them and has decided to ,he various
railroads operating within the State more
than 1O.5O0.000 acres of land, or more
land than is under cultivation by the peo-
pie of Minnesota, and by the State and
national government at Washington )me
2O.00O.00o acres, being double the eulti-
waited acreage in the hands of the agri-
cultural population.
In view of this and other privileges
granted by the State. it is but just to
say that railway companies owe reeIpro-
cal duties to the public, including cheer
| ful obedience to our laws"

1 all.
ness was not experienced.
" hiie the volume of trade was not near
ly as large as during some weeks pre-
viOusly, orders came thick and fast in de-
partments where spring buying is usually
done some weeks later. There was q
frmness in quotations indicative of a ris-
ing rather than a declining market, and
the conditions surrounding trade in all
its branches were more favorable, per-
haps, than during any former closing
week of a year. Never before have the
prospects for a large spring business been
more suspicious. This is indicated by
advance sales and also by the widespread
requests for early deliveries.
As to grain prices. wheat is now at
point where few big traders seem in
clned to sell it on every bulge. The for
eign situation is fairly strong. and the
latest estimate of German requirements
is for 100000 bushels monthly. Sea-
board clearances continue close to the
level of 100000 bushels weekly. which
are not enough to make foreign markets
weak, and their supplies are being close
ly adjusted to requirements. In the soft
winter wheat markets there has been
good milling demand at better than May
prices for the No. 2 red, and an indispo-
sition on the part of farmers to SELL
which makes the movement light In
Kansas soft wheat was selling Il short
time ago at around Coo and is now bring
ing S5c to 90c This puts wGeat higher
than corn, as corn brought around 6Sc
to roc when wheat was G0c. With wheat
Soc to 90c it hardly seems probable, If
these conditions are correct, that farmers
will feed the hghest-priced cereal to any
great extent. At the same time they are
holding it to he prepared for any emer-
gency, and are believers in higher prices.
Crop conditions are fairly satisfactory,
there being the usual number of conflict
ing reports from the Southwest.
In corn the cash situation is weaken
ed, and premiums are 1c to &c lower than
a week ago. with a light cash demand.
The East is getting supplies that have
been delayed by the inability of railroads
to handle their traffic rapidly, and for
the moment is not buying. Foreigners
are also Indifferent. The weeks range
in both corn and oats was influenced
largely by wheat, and confined to lc. corn
closing with q loss of &c and oats 14c.

: ~ Bradsfeets annual re-
/ NAV l0Tk. view of American trade,
L------------- finance and industry shows
| that 1901 has established the highest rec
ord of the last five years of commercial
expansion enjoyed by the United States.
The year has seen transacted an aggre-
gate of general business, as reflected in
| bank clearings, far in excess of any pre-
ceding period: immense increase in out
puts Of coal, ore, iron, steel, leather. lufn-
I Der and a multitude of other branches;
e,ght transportation facilities INSULT
Gent to handle the volume of business
offered. and volume Of holiday BUSH
ness passing all previous bounds both in
| quantity and quality"
Present estimates indicate that the
earnings for 1901 will exceed the highest
records of preceding years by one fourth.
Gross railway earnings have increased
II per cent, and net returns have gained
16 per cent over the best preceding year.
There has been a gain of IS per cent in
bank clearings over 1900; the highest
price for wheat since 1898 and of corn
and oats for almost a decade.
Not all the returns, however, are so
favorable. There is less money in cot
ton for the South this year, and the mar
gin of profit in manufacture has oeca-
stoned complaint in New and old Eng
land. Export trade has shown signs of
hesitation after years of steady advance.
and imports have increased; still the mar
gin in favor of exports is very large.
Food products as a whole are higher
than in the general price boom of 1900,
While manufactures are lower. Prices as
a whole are s per cent lower than in
February, 1900. and December, 1899, but
are higher than in any year from 1893
until the third quarter of 1859 IL trans
portation activity has been without pre-
eedent.
The preseminence of the trade condi-
ti6rs Of this year is all the more notable
when We consider a number of occur
rences which in a normal year would
have proved depressing, if not disastrous.
There were the machinist and steel
Strikes, the stock excitement of May, the
failure of several imprudently managed
combinations, the efforts of some combi-
nations to fix prices, the shortage in corn,
cotton end oats, and the assassination of
President Mckinley.
With the record of such a year as
basis the outlook for 1902 is encouraging.
As the report under consideration we'll
says If only portion of the high hopes
INDUCED in as a result of the recent con-
ferences of ca ital and labor materialize,
industrial peace. and through this sus-
tanned commercial good feeling, will have
been powerfully furthered."
