AGRICULTURAL COMPETITION.
A Discussion Of Tariff Relations Be-
tween the United States and Canada
az They Affect Farmers.

A Discussion Of Tariff Relations Be-
as They Affect Farmers.
Minneapolis, Mimi, March 20.-A
question often discussed by the farm
ers of the Northwest Is the difference
in price Of wheat in the United States
and Canada. 1t has been generally
supposed that much higher price
was paid south of the boundary than
north. The tremendous expansion of
wheat raising in the Canadian West
and the emigration of thousands OF
Middle-West farmers to that section
has given the question an interest
that it did not have before. Then,
too, the agitation of the subject Of
reciprocity with Canada has added to
the interest, because those who OPP
pose such reciprocity argue that it
would be Injurious to the American
farmer on account Of the cheap"
wheat that would flow in from Canada.
"A little investigation of the subject
led to the rather surprising discovery
| that until the close of navigation on
the Great Lakes the price paid to the
farmer for wheat is as high in Can.
| ada as In the United States, ii not
| higher. In fact, it is higher at Ger.
tain stations. 1t appears that at q
| given distance from the lake termin'
ais higher price Is paid IN Canada
| than in the United States. This is be
cause freight rates are lower in West
4 era Canada than in the Western Unit
/ ed States But taking stations on the
opposite sides of the line having the
same freight rates to terminals, it ap
pears that prior to Nov. lis. the Cana
i dian price is slightly higher than tn,
4 American. This is probably due Il
# the esgerness OF the buyers to ge

higher prices prevailing on the Amer
ican side after the close of nayiga-
ton are due to the fact that the close
of navigation does not restrict the
outlets for the wheat as 1t does in
Canada. The growth of the flour
milling industry in Canada, the crea-
ton Of an elevator system having
large storing capacity and the build
ing of a second and third transcon-.
tinental railway, all of which are now
in process, will remove this disadvan-
tage. One of the main objects of the
government in building line Of the
Grand Trunk from Moncton, N. B., to
the Winnipeg, 1900 miles, is to secure
cheap aIl-rail route for wheat from
the Canadian West to the Atlantic.
Thus, even in winter time, there will
soon be no superiority Of the Ameri-
can wheat market to the Canadian.
The result will be that Liverpool will
control prices for both countries even
more than now, 30 long as both have
large SURPRISES OF wheat to send
abroad Under such conditions the
movement of wheat back and forth
across the line would be matter of
convenience and would no more dis
turb the price level than the diversion

many Of our agricultural products, and

is a good market for the entire sur
pluses of both countries. The total
export of eggs from Canada to all the
world in 1903 did not amount to l per
cent of the American production. For
every dollars worth of cattle exported
from Canada last year there were $5,-
900 worth in the United States. Would
the addition Of from one to five thou
sand affect the market? The value Of
the horses exported from Canada last
/ year was one three-thousandth Of the
/ value of the American horses. More
over, horses and cattle bring as good
1 prices in Canada as in the United
4 States, especially in Western Canada.
| Farm labor, too, commands as good
( prices in Western Canada as IN the
Western states. Both countries are
! exporters of agricultural products to
Europe, and they produce under prac
i tically the same conditions. Trade be

Verdict Against Defendants in Post

Washington, Feb. 27.-"Guilty as in
dicted," was the verdict announced by
Carl Peterson, the foreman of the jury
in the now famous postoffice conspir-
acy trial, shortly after 8 o'clock last
night, stating at the same time that
this was the verdict as to all four de

been out nine hours, although the YER
dict was reached in eight hours and
twenty-five minutes.

Rochester's Retail District
Laid Waste by the
Fire Fiend.
A CITY'S SERIOUS LOSS
Big Department Stores Were Wiped
Out OF Ex istence Within a
Few Hours.
The Loss Will Reach in the Neigh
borhood of 5000, OOO---The
Burned District.

Rochester, N Y, Feb 27.-The sun
set last night with ten engines pouring
streams of water on the ruins of what
was practically the retail drygoods dis
trict of this city. For three ont of the
five department stores wera consumed
in yesterdays disastrous fire, one of
which, the SibIey, Lindsay & Curr Co,
was by far the largest establishment
of this kind in the city, and the oldest.
Insurance men place the loss at
SO 600, 600 Of this amount $3.50, 000
represents the loss on buildings and
the remainder the loss on stocks of
goods and to occupants of Offices. 1t is
estimated that $500 people are thrown
out of work, temporarily, at least,
because of the fire.
The burned district lies on the north
side of Main street, between st. Paul
street and Clinton avenue, North, run
ming from ST. Paul street almost the
entire length of the block.
The fire started in the store of the
Rochester Dry Goods company and
worked west, taking but one store east
of this establishment that of the Walk
over Shoe company, before it's pro-
gress was checked in that direction.
The next west was the store of the
Beadle, Sherburne company, which
was destroyed, then the Marble block,
occupied by the Sibley, Lindsay &
Curr company, also destroyed, and
finally the thirteen-story Granite build
ing, the lower part of which was also
no L fTnlc
Curr company and upper part by Off
ces. Only the front wall of the Marble
building is standing today The shell
of the Granite building is intact and
the floors are in place but the building
was Quilted
The Sibley, Lindsay & Cucr compa-
ny's six story wholesale building was
destroyed with all its valuable con-
tents, this loss being placed at $1,450,-
600. There were no casualties and no
one was injured.
The fire was discovered by a watch
man in the employ of the Rochester
Drygoods company, who says it started
from a fuse which blew out in the
electric elevator connection. Almost
simultaneously an explosion occurred
in the basement of Beadle & Sher-
bn~l0'5, next door. Smoke and flames
ra-red through the elevator grating in
4idewalk and in an incredibly
snort time the buildings were mass
of flames.
The fire department did good work
but the apparatus was inadequate and
requests for assistance were sent to
Buffalo and Syracuse. Fash city re-
sponded, senaing two engines and men
to man them.
