THE RICH DAKOTAS
Buying More Merchandise Than
Ever in Their History.
MINNEAPOLIS SHARES THE TRADE
All Kinds of Goods Are i'm Brisk De-
maMd and Collections VIII -
BE Easy. -..,. .---'

All records are being broken In ship
ments Of merchandise by Minneapolis into
the northwest. This years crops have
produced tremendous volume Of trade
which, in the language of the travelling
salesman, is more than good" Retail
stores In many portions of Minnesota and
the two Dakotas will have sales this year
equal to some Of the smaller jobbing In
situations in older sections. - ~ -
North Dakota is turning in an immense
demand for goods. Statesmen who visit
| every part of the west say there is no
| section where trade is as brisk as In
North Dakota. Some Of the towns in the
| western part of the state, particularly
| along the 500 road and the western
branches of the Great Northern, and
Northern Pacific, are buying at rate far
| beyond the dreams Of the most optimistic.
One merchant in one Of these, towns,
which few years ago was very ordinary
of various kinds Of merchandise in one
shipment. At another town which sprane
into existence but few years ago, two
of the general stores will each have q
total volume of trade this year of over
$780, Some country jobbing houses
in the older states would consider this a
! remarkable figure: There is much the
same story of trade results to be told
| in most of the western North Dakota
towns. The Red River valley towns OF
that state are enjoying good business
but it is not to be compared with the
western country, where the big develop
ment is in progress. . -
| Minneapolis Trade Growing.
! South Dakota will have more money
| the year than during any fall in her his
tory. Every. section Of the state has at
least fair yield of grain and her mer-
chants are consequently getting rid Of
a large amount of merchandise. In some
lines Chicago cuts intosthe South Dakots
trade considerably, but her merchants say
that Minneapolis is gaining in the com.
! petition every year RI -. 80 II
Northern Minnesota is taking more
merchandise from Minneapolis than a.
any time in the history Of that region
Although development in the timber coun:
try is naturally slower than on the
prairie, the timber towns are increasing
the number Of their stores and orders are
larger. The opinion is general among
northwestern merchants that collections
should be good this fall.

has for years supplied the Manitoba mills
with their product, the life OF the lumber In
dustry at Duluth and surrounding country
may be prolonged for a good many years.
The Ashland district shows slight In
crease, but this, too, is certain to be followed
by very large decrease, and soon the lum-
Der manufacturing business will become an
Of second or third magnitude.
In contemplating the Chippewa and Black
river districts we find that the story as re-
CARDS the lumber business has been almost
told. That these two districts should have
been able to produce so much annually for
their own manufacturers and at the same
time furnish vast quantities to keep the mills
of the lower Mississippi going, demonstrates
the magnitude OF the original forests. This
timber, too, was of as fine a quality as any
known to this generation, and 1t Is doubtful
II it's equal will ever again grow on this con- s
tinent.
IL Below Minneapolis.
On tbs Mississippi river below Minneapolis
the production exceeds what has generally
been supposed could be produced under the
varying conditions and many disadvantages
which the mills from time to time contend
with. The supply OF logs has to be brought
from the upper Mississippi or the st. Croix
valley. The cost Of transporting the logs,
and numerous other items, all help to hasten
the end for the saw mills Of the lower Mis-
ISSlppl dS u I6dLuF0 OI tQ0 luIuUSI WOIlust
That they have been able to hold their own
in competition with the product direct from
the forest speaks we'll for the shrewd bust
ness ability of the men who controlled that
industry Not so very many years ago the
lower Mississippi mills came pretty near con-
trolling affairs in the lumber world.
= Right at tho Front.
From this rather sornbre picture turn to
brighter and more pleasant CONCENTRATIONS.
Minneapolis continues to keep UP her record
as the largest lumber manufacturing point in
the world While the product OF 1901 did not
quite equal that Of 80, the high water mark.
1t exceeds the total produced in any other
year. With the increased supply, owing to the
method Of bringing the logs by rail direct
from the northern forests, there Is every rea-
son to believe that Minneapolis will continue
to produce in the neighborhood Of boo, zoo, goo
feet annually for the nezt ten or a dozen
years. The Minneapolis lumber cut since
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-08-29

While there is no indication that the
lumber cut of Minneapolis mills will reach
record breaking figures for the year, the
result will be large enough to maintain
the prestige Of this market as the leading
lumber market of the world The high
water mark in Minneapolis lumber pro-
duction was reached in 1899, when the
total almost reached the 100000, 900 mark
Last years record was big. This year the
supply of logs has not been such as to
make for a accommodating cut. On the
other hand, trade has been good and the
prices realized have made NUMBER manu-
prosperous conditions of the industry.
The local mills have never had so good
trade as came to them this spring from
every part of the territory in which they
do business. Stocks were depleted rap
idly and all records In sales broken for
the spring months. During the summer
months the demand has eased off to some
extent, but indications point to tre-
mendous trade as soon as the crops now
being harvested and threshed are dis
posed Of 1t is fair prediction that the
last of the year will see as good If not a
better trade than ruled in the same pc
riod Of last year, which showed a new rec
ord up to that time. Z H.. =
The brisk demand for lumber has made
the Minneapolis manufacturers content
to let other markets Snibble at some OF
their territory this year. The coast has
sold nearer to Minneapolis than usual
simply because the supply did not make it
necessary for Minneapolis lumbermen tt
force the game, in the outlying portions
of the country which they usually supply
From the southwest orders have poured
into this market and for the first half Of
the year the very cream of the territory
appeared able and willing to take most o.
the lumber which the local manufacturers
had to sell. There has never been time
| in the history Of lumber manufacturing
here when as large a proportion Of orders
could not be filled as, this year: e..
Transporting logs by rail to Minneapolis
has become more general this year. The
fact that much of the. timber on the mai1
streams has been cut away and that thu
| supply must come from regions farther
! back, requiring different methods O
transportation than: the old plan of dirty;
| ing down the streams, has brought raj
| transportation more to the front. For {

The WORLDS BIGGEST

Minneapolis Saws More Logs Than Any Other City on
d Earth While This Years Cut Breaks No Records,
the Lumbermen Are Satisfied, for Trade Is Good and
Saw Mill Products Are Worth More Money Than
Ever Before Logs Brought BY Rail.

and short supply have helped 1t on this
year. The future, however, is a ques-
ton Of rates and the attitude of the
railroads. Minneapolis is so situated that
1t is believed that her position in the
central west will not be greatly affected
neighborhood Of 400, 1000, 900 and 500, 900, 900
feet, and the production will range be-
tween these two figures for the next ten
or dozen years. In the meantime the
lumber industry will continue to give
employment to large forces Of skilled
and common labor as well as to millions
Of capital. 1t contributes largely to Min
neapolis' fine business record. The posi-
