What a Minneapolis Man Says.

1.-THE advantages of the cut-over lands
north from the Twin Cities in Kama
bee, Mile Laos and Morrison counties,
are far greater than most men appre-
ciate. 1t is one of the best tame grass
regions in the union, and when properly
farmed will produce equal to any of the
lands in Iowa which are selling as high
as $I18 per acre. It will pay as much
per acre when properly titled as the
high-priced land, and the timber for
fuel, building, fencing and protection to
the stock is of great value to the set
tier. The superior quality of the wa
ter, which is very easily secured as
compared with most prairie countries,
is another good feature not to be lost
sight Of These lands lying so close
to good markets must in my opinion
be worth in few years from $50 to
SIS per acre. Now is the time for those
who want cheap homes and good in
vestments, all in one, to get hold of
these lands.

Good Country With Great Future.

August S. Nelson, of Candy, Mimi.
who is familiar with the country trib-
utary to Princeton, says: "You have
a good country, with a great future
before it, and I can say to anyone who
is seeking a good farm that they will
find in your county both good land and
a convenient place for a good home"

No County Its Equal.

Ole Hartwick and Halvor Gunder-
son, business men of Granite Falls,
MIMI, have good word to say of
Mile Laos county. They say that after
an extensive travel throughout Mime

estate, and after having duly consid-
cred the quality of the soil in Mile
Laos county, its water, climate and geo.

state the equal of Mile Laos county

PRICES BROKE ALL IL AROUND
Reduction of Dividend In Reading
First Preferred Caused Slump ct
-. figures in Stock Market.

New York. August 2t.-Today
carly strong market was a REPETITION
# Yesterdays, but on a smaller scale.
The resemblance extended to the re-
dictionary tendency caused by the
heavy realizing in progress under
cover of the sustaining strength OF
few stocks, but it was not until the
announcement of the reduction of the
dividend on Reading first preferred
that the weakness of the whole mar
yet became acute and prices broke all
AROUND to well below last night. There
aaS been an impression for many
" eeks that the Reading dividend
would be reduced in order to extend
the voting trust, which under the
terms of the trust would be dissolved
by the payment of one years full div
jdend on the first preferred stock.
The announcement last week that
the Southern railway voting trust had
betn requested by stockholders to de-
.el the dissolution Of the trust by the
p,stponement of the dividend on the
preferred stock was a strong corrOD'
Grafton Of the expectation of similar
action in the case OF Reading. 1t Is
improbable, therefore, that the mere
fact of the reduction Of the dividend
would have shocked the stock market
had it not been for the determined
way in which the Reading stocks were
advanced this morning on the pur
chase Of enormous blocks Of stock.
The sudden tumble in those stocks
caused by the announcement OF the
dividend reduction gave rise to
Chilling apprehension that the bold
speculators who are leading the oP'
crations for advancing prices are act
lag without the best information II
all cases, and may be putting up prices
SIMPLY by the force of abundant FUNDS
and without substantial grounds Tor
The higher range Of values. The dimen'
sions of the selling to take profits
which was going on yesterday and TO-
day was an additional factor in arous'
ing uneasiness as to the solidity OF
the demand which has made the
higher range for prices. The favorites
OF yesterday and day before pretty
generally suffered from realizing, even
while the Readings, Illinois Central
cid Colorado Fuel were advancing
most buoyantly. Additional heavy
transfers Of currency to the west was
contributing factor to unsettling
confidence. The deposits of currency
at the sub-treasury today for trans
fer amounted to S640,00O, of which
100000 was for Chicago, 100000 for
Cincinnati and $4,000 for New Or
leans.
Speculative bond issues yielded il
sympathy with stocks. Total sales

was no joke with Royce. 1t bit the

General Prospsrlt ""

Our railroads are still making
splendid returns, are generally show
ing increases about 10 to Il per cent
ahead of the large figures of last year.
This is the most convincing evidence
of continued general prosperity
Henry ClewS, New York.
Yes, and our steel trust is
making net profits at the rate of $780,
900, 900 a year, on real capital of not
more than $500, 900, 900: another most
convincing evidence of general pros
perity." Our Standard Oil company
is increasing this year its enormous
net earnings of S50,000,000 for last
year by so per cent, more evidence of
general prosperity" Our coal trust
is furnishing additional evidence of
general prosperity by making such
enormous profits on the production of
it's laborerS that it has forced them
into what threatens to be the most
gigantic strike of this strike era of
ours. The beef trust is furnishing
more evidence of general prosperity
by gathering into its Golfers unknown
millions arbitrarily taken from the
slender incomes of the masses. Mr.. E.
o. (earth owing) Morgan rakes in a
fee Of S12,OOO,0OO for organizing and
putting on it's feet a huge shipping
combine, and thus adds another bit
of evidence of our general prosp Gritty.
In short, every million added al.
ready to the embarrassing millions OF
the country's magnateS is most con
vincing evidence of continued genera
prosperity. For how could these mil
lions be daily added to those previous
| ly accumulated, if the common people
were not prosperous? They would
not have the means to pay the trib
utes exacted of them, hence the MILL
ons would not be garnered by the
magnates, and there would be evi.
dences of general prosperity. How
easy it is to understand such logic!
But it is treason, or crime of any
other sort; is it calamity bowling
or breeding discomfort" to assert
that there might be sounder, truer
heal hier evidences of general pros
perity than the foregoing! IT. for in
stance, it could be said that railroad
are making more money than las
year, but their million of employ e.
are getting so per cent more pay

NE ats For Export.

According to the Off1ei al statement
of the federal bureau of statistics,
American packers sent to foreign
countries during the month of April
fresh beef valued at s., 32I, 1852, 81 ,OOO,-
coo worth of canned and sailed beef
and So, 651 ,245 worth of fresh and salt
ed pork. The mere statement of
these figures would indicate plenti-
ful supply of meats. But a compari-
son with the export figures for April,
1901, will remove the impression, f or
in the month last noted the fresh beef
exports were So, 986, 279, or 1865, III
greater than in April, 1902. The
falling off in pounds was even more
marked, the drop being from 33,116,-
O47 pounds in April, 1901, to 22,661,-
SOL pounds last month, a decrease of
some 80 per cent, despite the induce
ment of higher prices abroad. In
A pril, 1881, the average price of ex-
port beef in Chicago was close to 9
cents per pound-the average price
last month was 10 Is cents
AS to live cattle we exported only
I8, 902 last April, valued at 81, GAS, 942,
against 81, 1868 exported in April, 1901,
valued at So, I46, 01S-a falling off of
approximately so per cent both in the
number of cattle and in the value.
OF live hogs we exported only SCI last
April, valued at Sc, 100 against 1886
for q pril a year ago, valued at $14.658
"a falling off Of 81 per cent in the
number exported. If the figures here
noted-taken from the official bulletin
of the treasury department-do not
indicate falling off in the meat sup
ply then it would be difficult to de-
termine how that could be shown.
Another point worth noting in the
meat situation is this: Last month
showed heavy gain in the amount of
canned meat exported, and a slight
increase in the export of sailed beef,
in spite of the advance in prices.
This shows that the American pre-
pared meats are not losing favor and
that the packing companies are max
ing the best possible use of the poorer
grades of cattle, the latter always
showing increase when fed stuffs are
high.-Denver News.
