steadiness except where further adj

the. highest prices in years. Collections
are rather better as whole, ranging
from fair to good the country over.
Industry is active. lilnited only by
transportation facilities.
Reports from the shoe and leather
trade are rather irregular. Leather is
reported quiet, except at the west,
where considerable sales at full prices
are reported by tanners. The sugar
market has been unsettled, but the net
change on the week has been slight

steady at close to the lowest prices on

Consumption still leads production in

BIG ELECTRIC PROJECT.
A Line From Duluth Thru Minneapolis
to Dea Moines.


to Dea Moines.
st. Paul, Mimi. Feb. 21.-St. Paul Is
the center of negotiations involving a
$40, 100000 railway project.
The plan is to construct double
track electric freight and passenger
line from Duluth thru the Twin Cities
thru Iowa by way of Des Moines, and
on to the Gulf of Mexico. Prominent
ST. Paul and Minneapolis men have
already signed the application for a
charter.
Details of the plan have been con-
sidered at meeting held at the Mic
ollet hotel. Among the Minnesota
men who are identified with the plan
are Thomas Lowry. Cal Goodrich, w.
d. Washburn, F. NJ. Laroway, and
Clark & Co. The road will be known
as the Texas, Iowa & Minnesota
Electric company and will have among
its officials several Minnesota men.
There will be separate company
in each state, thru which the line will
pass. These will be merged later into
general company, with a capitaliza-
ton of many millions.
John w. Gates is one of the fnan-
ciers whose names have already been
which will revolutionize traffic from
the head of the lakes to the gulf. For
many months work has been in pro-
no.
but the utmost secrecy has been pre-
served by all those interested in the
gigantic deal.
Preliminary organizations have al
ready been formed in Minnesota, Iowa
and the Indian territory, and are IN
process of formation in the other states
thru which the line will pass. For the
Minnesota company, of which W. ID.
Washburn. of Minneapolis, is at the
head articles of agreement and an APP
plication for charter have been
drawn up and signed. Financiers of
ST. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth are
represented among the signers.
A meeting of the representatives of
the Minnesota company will be held in
The Nicollet hotel, Minneapolis. within
month, at which progress will be re-
ported. Judge Porter, of Eldorado.
Iowa, who is the legal adviser of the
men back of the projected company,
has been making a trip over the coun-
try thru which the railroad will run,
and has been holding consultations
with eastern fnanciers who Will be in
terested in the company.
Judge Porter has made two visits
to ST. Paul during the last few weeks
and his reports concerning the southern
end of the project have been of a most
satisfactory nature. One terminal of
the line will be in Duluth, and the
other in city on the Gulf of Mexico.
The line will pass thru the twin cities,
Des Moines, points in Kansas, Indian
Territory. touching at st. Louis. Dallas
and Houston.
Primarily the line will be designed
for the carrying of freight at less
rate than can be secured from the
steam roads, but later on passenger
cars will be put on.
