TREND OF TRADE
Reported daily by Edwards, Wood Z Co.
Room II Hunt Huildina.

Minneapolis, July 23.-Wheat: Dur
ing the early hours of the session, all
markets were active and considerable
higher. The upward movement began
with reports of the continuance of the
prevailing hot winds of which we spoke
yesterday. Then came the private cur
rent reports that threshing returns con-
tinues under early estimates. On the
bulge the buyers showed less aggressive
ness and when corn weakened wheat fol-
lowed. A good deal of the selling today
was said to come from class of traders
who took stock in the report that Ne
braska was harvesting an SO,0O0,O00
bushel crop. Selling wheat on such re-
ports is not safe and a second thought
will show that this estimate was made
without regard to reason. Last years
yield there was but 52,726,45l bushels.
Primary receipts today sol 900 bushels,
la year ago l,037 900 bushels. Total clear
|ances equal 200 bushels. The fore
cast is for fair and warm weather tomor-
row in the Dakotas with few showers
over the southern and western boarders
The temperature at Winnipeg was re-
ported at 90, Williston 80 and Bismarck
|94. After a little weakness about mid
day the market turned very strong and
closed at the best price for the day
Wheat looks to us like a safe purchase
on all declines.
Corn: The corn market received the
best of support at the opening today
September advancing to 81 cents. Cash
corn was in splendid demand and also
scored a good advance. The weather
map told of killing hot winds throughout
the corn belt and that portions OF
territory that had been complaining late
ly of lack of rain reported no relief.
Receipts and shipments were about
equal today. While clearances were
very liberal at $4,000 bushels. The trade
today was well distributed, the tota
business done was enormous. Around 81
cents September corn is a purchase.

enough to furnish all of the street and
commercial lighting for the city and the
citizens. This money would be raised
among the merchants, who would own
the power house and plant. The city
council will be asked to buy enough poles
and wires and lamps to supply Front,
Second, Broad and Fourth streets with
arc lights. The city doing this, and the
merchants. having the power plant, the
council will be asked to purchase the
power necessary to operate the lights,
on day by day contract. As soon as
the city has the money, it will be asked
to extend the poles and wires to the
suburbs, and to light the entire city with
electricity. Then it will be asked to buy
the power house from the merchants at
what it cost.
The merchants are willing that the
city shall be given all the profits over and
above eight per cent.
The committee makes the claim that
already $4,000 of the $4,000 is pledged.
The merchants propose that the city
shall practically own its own lighting
plant from the start, but in such way
that it connot be enjoined by the court.
They will practically advance the money
to the city, This plan met with
general favor, and it was decided to pre-
sent it to the merchants who were not
present.
j. B. Richards, E. Rosenberger, Hans
Jorgenson, Jay Henry Long and Chas.
j. Macbeth were appointed a commit
tee to meet with the council and prepare
plan of cooperation and assist the
aldermen in any way possible in the fur
therance of the scheme. The committee
will also draw up a proposition to be
presented to the merchants who were not
present.
E. Rosenberger announced that
he was willing to subscribe for
5000 worth of stock in the
company, and he said that he knew
of a business firm in the city which
would take an equal amount. Others
present said that they would take small
Ell amounts.
The council will be expected to go to
the limit, but not to overstep the bounds
where an Injunction would be possible.
The merchants have hopes that the coun-
ell will enter into this plan, as one of
them stated today that the plan was
suggested by Mayor Taylor.
The merchants expressed themselves
to the effect that they would rather that
the present inadequate lights should be
continued than that the present company
should be asked to put in low PROPOSE
ton on street lighting.
The committee that was appointed last
night held meeting today to lay out
its plans. The meeting was held at Mr..
Longs office this forenoon.

from InursuayS Dally.
The special meeting of the Mankato
Business Mems association, held last
night for the purpose of heating the re-
port of the special committee on lighting,
was not as largely attended as was ex-
peeted.
The committee presented the following
report:
To the Mankato Business Mems as
ISOLATION. Your committee on lighting
question hereby report as follows:
We have fully considered the question
and fully investigated matters so far as
able, and finding that this city and citi-
zens are paying an eXorbitant price for
lights, both electricity and gas, and
especially gas, and with no immediate
prospect of any relief except by the es-
Enlistment of a municipal lighting plant
and we therefore recommend the adop-
ton of the following resolutions and the
forwarding of copy to the city coun-
Gil
Whereas, The question of public
lighting, city and commercial, has been
vexed and important question in our city
and as this association, the Mankato
Business Mems association, has careful
ly and thoroughly investigated the sub
ject and found that the only relief from
present burden of high prices is a NUM-
cipal lighting plant, therefore it is
Resolved, That this association, the
Mankato Business Mems association, rec
ommend the establishment of a NUM-
cipal lighting plant, and business men of
the city pledge themselves to support
the city council in any measure they may
see fit to adopt for the purpose of ac-
complishing that end, and recommend that
every citizen whether he be member of
the association or not should take a
hand in protecting himself and the city
by aiding by his influence and his means
in the establishment of such plant.
Dated, this % day of July, 1908.
JOHN B. RICHARDS,
p II. JORGENSEN,
Committee.
After some discussion, the report was
adopted by rising vote, unanimously.
While none of those present favored
the operation of another private plant,
to be constructed by the merchants, they
did favor a plan whereby the city might
be able to secure plant through the aid
of the merchants. This plan, in brief,
contemplates the raising of $25 1000 or
$4,000, or more if necessary, to build a
power house for lighting plant large
