NOT BOOM
Market for Minnesota and North
Dakota Lands in a Healthy
State.
H. $. Judson, at West Hotel, Says
Business Is Now Upon the
Soundest Basis.

That Their is not any boom in North |
Dakota and Minnesota farm lands, but |
that there Is legitimate demand certain
to increase, is the opinion of experienced
land agents such as Thomas j. Baird of
North Dakota and H. 8. Judson, formerly
of Morris, Mimi At the West hotel this |
morning Mr.. Baird said that the market
for North Dakota land was notably
healthy. 1t shows no signs of unwhole-
some excitement and has not been unfa-
Vorably affected by the recent rush to
Canada.
mo, there is not the least Danger Mr..
Judsun said, that the farm land business
is going to be overdone In Minnesota or
North Dakota. The twin city iobbers and
bankers have often asked me lately when
our land boom is coming to an end II
have to tell them that there is not any
boom. The facts are that business in
good farming lands in Minnesota and
North Dakota is now upon the soundest
basis. We have f1rst-class lands to SELL
we can sell them at moderate prices and
| we have steady supply of customers.
These customers represent the natural
| increase Of population in the middle west
| It does not matter what panics may come,
what may happen to business in general,
| the farmers of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
adjoining states will continue to prosper
as they have prospered thruot the hard
times that followed 1898. The sons of
| these farmers will be growing up and
wanting to get farms of their own. Farm
ers themselves, or their tenants, will be
wanting to go elsewhere, ii they can get
good, accessible lands at low price. Thus
| our supply Of customers is constant
The lands are fertile. They. are as
| sured Of sufficient rainfall. They are
close at hand. They are convenient to
railways. Experience has shown that the
lands can be bought at profit by the
actual cultivator so long as they don't cost
more than $40. an acre, and we are selling
them at no more than SIS and $40 an
| acre.
ut is easy to suggest that our Gus
toners might drift away from us, that
they might be attracted by cheaper lands
elsewhere, but there are no lands equally
| good to be had at the same prices. have
lately made three trips to the Pacific
coast. I have seen plenty Of good land
out there, land that did not lack moisture,
| but such land could not be bought for
less than $40 an acre. I've seen more
land that is ditched for irrigation This
| land will be very productive, no doubt.
But it will cost $50 an acre, three times
our price, not to speak of annual charges
for water supply. Then, Of course, there
is an abundance of inferior land on the
| market. The west is full of grazing lands
unfit for agriculture, but it is not such
| land that any of our customers are look

gusted. The cheapest quotation they
could get on land was $40 an acre, and
the commission say SIS an acre would be
high for the land they want, which is low
and swampy.
The commissioners are also sore over
the treatment they received. They were
not allowed rooms at the hotels, but were
quartered in private houses and paid
their own livery and boat hire.

The Weather Suggests a Scare in

The Modern Miller Not so Bearish
IS Formerly Excellent Cash
Demand.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Feb. 81
The weather held up wheat this morning, more
than anything else, and to the weather and
the possibilities suggested by 1T was dEe the
early frmness at Yesterdays closing figure of
T6h crosse. Many Of the pit scalpers came
down town looking for setback. Not that they
were in any less buNish, or that they
bad lost confidence in any degree. But since It
is impossible for the market to stand still, and
since the closing prices had been unchanged for
three consecutive days, the scalpers had about
made up their minds that there would surely be
move to-day. And since the market had re-
fused to advance and the bear news continued
coming. it was reasonable to look for a break
of temporary nature. at least; The hrst news
items off the reel were additionally bearish.
Argentine shipped 100000 Blu for. the week.
The foreign markets were dull and trade was
light everywhere. Exporters reported little doing
at first. The same general air Of depression hung
over the pit strengthening features were
the good demand here for cash wheat and the
fact that local stocks have at length apparently
made the turn and for the week will show a
decrease of about 10000 bu But the weathe;
map was the uncertain thing. All over the
northwest and southwest the ground is wet and

it affected the corn market to the extent of
causing shorts to cover, and 1t suggested to the
wheat the danger OF being short when a
drop in the thermometer might bring on a win
ter wheat scare.
About noon the Modern Miller came out with
a report that was less favorable than anything
seen from this quarter 80 far. The Miller says
reports that winter wheat has suffered a set
back are being received from different sections.
mainly from the eastern part Of the winter
wheat belt there was little or no snow protec-
ton, such reports are few and scattered. The
unfavorabIa reports ascribed the freezing
and thawing weather, otherwise the crop has
maintained its favorable condition.
Primary receipts were 472, 200 Blu against

Duluth 70 against 1875. Clearances, wheat and

Near the close New York wired that twelve
loads Manitoba wheat were taken and some
thirty loads American wheat for export. This
with the Modern Miller report turned the market
strong and May sold to 76% @76&c,, closing
strong at the high point. July closed at the
same figure May 765s @76Ac.
