MISTAKE WASFAIAL|IS IT PRACTICABLE? MR..
Farmers Cooperative Exchange
Doesn't Worry Local Grain Men.
MAY SOUND PLAUSIBLE ENOUGH
The History of Such Plans, How
ever, Does Not Record Great
Successes.

The recent organization at Pierre,
s. D., Of the Farmers Cooperative
Exchange company, with a capitaliza-
tion Of $50, 900 900 and an avowed intention
on the part of the incorporators to revo-
lutionize the grain trade has not disturbed
the Minneapolis grain men to any no
ticeable extent. Ordinarily" it might be
supposed that the birth of $50,000,000
company would be the cause of some ner-
vousness on the part of men whose lines
of buiness relationship are to be cut.
and whose business must necessarily de-
crease in volume If the new plan succeeds.
Yet it is hard to find Minneapolis grain
man who shows any interest in the new
scheme, and inquiry, for an opinion as to
the effect of the new combine upon the
grain trade in general is met with quiet
smiles. The trade views it as one OF
those huge, impracticable schemes that
originate in the minds of promoters and
come to the front at Intervals.
E. A. Burrage Of Minneapolis, score
tary of the South Dakota and South Min
nesota Grain Dealers Association, Is in
receipt of letter from Charles S. Clark
of Chicago, bearing on the new organdza-
tion. Mr.. Clark is something Of an au-
thority on matters pertaining to the grain
trade, and is editor of the Grain Dealers
Journal He views the new company as
one Of the schemes that always originate
when the country is prosperous, the farm
ers have plenty Of money and it is easy
to get them to buy stock in cooperative
companies which promise to- cut out the
expenses of middlemen and, secure for the
farmers the commissions that go to the
man who takes charge Of the marketing
of his grain for him, and the profits Of the
country banker who advances him none!

MANY new BANKS
Since January 4 Thirty-three State
Banks Have Been Organized.

Since January 1, 1902, thirty three state
banks have been organized Last year
the number was thirty five for the twelve
months. The prosperity of the state is
thus indicated, as many of the new banks
have to compete with national or private
banks. Some of them are established in
localities without other banking facilities.
The capitalization of the banks this year
is greater than that of the thirtyfive
organized last year.
