14.e BUSHELS PER ACRE
Average Wheat Yield for 10O1-It
WAS 1913 in 1900

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE statistician of
the department of agriculture estimates tho
average yield per acre Of wheat in the United
States in 1901 at 1913 bushels, as compared
with 1928 bushels in 1900, 1878 bushels in 1899,
1873 bushels in 1898 and 1873 bushels, the
mean Of the averages for the last ten years.
The newly seeded area of winter wheat Is
professionally estimated at 100000 acres, an
increase of 56 per cent upon the area esti-
mated to have been sown In the fall of 1900.
The newly seeded area of winter rye is pro-
visionally estimated at 100000 acres, an in
crease Of 2.9 per cent upon the area esti-
mated to have been sown in the fall of
1900. The department has no reports as to the
condition of winter wheat later than Dec 1.
At that date it was S6.7 per cent OF the nor

TRADE BECOMING NORMAL
But Car Shortage Is Still EVIDENT
Iron Continues Scarce.

Iron Continues Scarce.
New York, Jan. u.-R. G. Dun Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: .-. ....
With the unprecedented holiday business
ended, transportation facilities are more near
ly adequate for regular requirements. Mer-
chandise moves to consumers more promptly,
and in the iron region there is less inter-
ruption to work because of insufficient fuel.
Normal conditions have by no means re-
turned, however and it will be some time
before shippers can safely guarantee deliver
les on specific date. Buying Of staple COM
modities is on a large scale. fully sustaining
quotations at a high level, except in the few.
instances where efforts were made to hold
prices above the point warranted by the ratio
Of needs to supplies. Labor controversies are
few and unimportant, while the new year has
brought advances in the rate of wages at
many points.
Holiday idleness inventories and annual
overhaulings were all cut down to the lowest
possible limit at iron snd steel plants in the
effort to meet urgent demands from CUSTOM
ers. Foundry iron at the east Is still scarce
high prices being quoted at Philadelphia, and
Chicago mills cannot secure material in de-
sired quantities. Although railways largely
augmented supplies of rolling stock during
1901, contracts for this years delivery already
aggregate many months full capacity of shops,
and in structural shapes there is no prospect
OF a surplus In the near future.

SHEEP-Sheep receipts at leading markets
this week show nominal gain over the
week before and were about $4,000 larger
than the same week last year. The five big
markets reported a total of about 10000,
against los, 900 for the previus week, $1,000
two weeks ago, 1000 for the corresponding
week month ago, 102, 500 for the correspond
ing week year ago, and 125,500 for the cor
responding week two years ago. Receipts
here were quite large, totaling about 1890,

the holiday week, $685. for the same week a
month ago, 1925 for the same week a year
ago, and II, 400 for the week two years
ago. While the local supply was quite liberal,
yet there was a comparatively small per-
centage offered to the local trade. The big
end consisted largely of offerings billed from
western points to local feed lots. There was
a weaker feeling in both fat sheep and lambs
early in the week, with sales generally quoted
from Is to 25c lower than week ago. At the

HOW THE 500 rs BUILT.

In the current issue of the CONNER
cha! West, there is the following COM
ment upon the rapid rise in 500 stock,
by H. V. Jones. the editor:
The property has always been hand
led conservatively. 1t has grown up
with the country When ex-senator
Washburn planned the Minneapolis &
Pacific road back in the SOS he had a
pretty barren country to deal with west
Of the Minnesota line. A Ioz"n years
have passed and today the "SJo' line
is we'll settled to the international
boundary line at Portal. There are no
waste places on the road. Every foot
of the territory is contributing traffic.
The road has reached the second stage
in its growth-the rebuilding period.
1t is at this point that stockholders will
be especially interested.
The 500 is laid with GO-pound rail
between Minneapolis and Valley City,
North Dakota, that was put down when
the road was built. Next spring the
laying of this stretch with S0-polnd
rail will begin. Between Minneapolis
and Sault Ste. Marie the relaying with
~S0-pound rail has been completed ex-
cept for Is miles, and the work has
been paid for out of earnings. Gen
eral Manager Pennington superin-
tended the building of the 500 road.
He knows every foot of the roadbed
and it was this thorough knowledge OF
the property that advanced him UP
through the line of officials to the gen.
eral managers Office. His plan OF de-
yelopment Of the property has been
seconded by those in authority and it
is now possible to measure the results.
Mr.. Pennington believes in a eonserva-
tive policy. He believes that a rail-
road must grow into earning capacity
rather than attemptto jump into a pos
ition of stability. Hence he believes
first In aproperty that can do its work
eeonomica1ly, then-he believes in divi-
dends foreyermore.
