IL was that OF +. Kent LOOMS. Reports
to both the Press association and the

animation of the body Of r. Kent LOOMS

State Fair Races.

The Minnesota state fair has broken
SO many records in recent years that
the information that the race entry
list for the coming fair of 1904 has
again established new limit will be
no surprize. But it is surprizing fact
that the gain this year over 1903 is
much larger than that of 1903 over
1902.
Entries closed July 1 and Secretary
e. w. Randall completed his compila-
ations and was able to announce no
less than 3ss entries for the fair races.
This is II more than last year and
108 more than in 1902.
The total 3ss entries is quite beyond
all precedent in racing history. When
the Minnesota fair races secured
$50 entries in 1902, horsemen through
out the country were astonished be-
yend measure and said that the list
would never again be duplicated. Last
year they could not believe the totals at
first; this year they are likely to un-
derstand that the Minnesota fair is
about the biggest thing of it's kind on
earth.

DIsTURBs CONDITIONS.
General Trade Situation Affected By
the Strike Of Packing House
Employees.

New York, July 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade conditions were gradually be-
coming more normal after the conclu-
sion of political conventions, when a
new disturbing factor appeared in the
strike of packing house employees and
allied trades This enhanced prices of
meats and added many thousands to
the already large army of unemployed,
weakening the purchasing power of the
people still further. Aside from this
unfavorable development, the news of
the week contained much encourage
ment. Crop prospects improved and
the general level prices for farm prod
ucts promises large return to agri-
culturists, which means better business
for all industries Confidence grows
with the crops, retailers showing more
disposition to prepare for the future as
the season advances with no serious
setback to the farms. A few manufac-
turing lines are more active, although
there is still much idleness at the
shops and mills, and pig iron output

cent month.
Failures this week numbered 225 in
the United States, against 213 last
year, and 20 in Canada, compared with
l6 year ago."
Bradstreet's says: diverse move
ments in trade, industry and specula-
ton give an irregular appearance to
the general business situation. Dis
tributive trade and industry is still
quiet and even dull, awaiting clearer
views of the crop out-turn. Damage
to the winter wheat crop by heavy
rains is admitted, though alleged to be
exaggerated. Disorganization in the
meat industry has followed a strike
which. if not settled, as now seems
likely, contains much power for evil.
All meat prices have been advanced
and cattle shipments checked. Rail-
way gross earnings for the fiscal year
Will show an increase over the best
previous years, but net results are less
clearly defined, with the question
whether an increase or decrease will be
shown still in doubt. The general un.
dertone is one of confidence, good re-
suits being looked for by the business
world from an expected large volume
of fall trade

With Broken Neck.

Living with a broken neck is the
condition of Leo McConnon, the IS
year-old son of Edward McConnon OF
Winona- Young McConnon and a
number of companions, were in swim
ming in the river at that place. McCon-
non dived from a pile into shallow wa
ter. He struck his head on stone
with the result that his neck was dis
located. When he did not come to the
surface at once his companions went to
his assistance and brought him up. He
was unconscious. He was conveyed to
the hospital and there an examination
showed that his neck was dislocated.
He is still alive and there are hopes of
his recovery, although the chances are
much against him.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Get Receipts.

The noted case of Henry Cramer OF
Clara City, Mimi, against the North
western Elevator company of Mime
apolis, has been decided in favor of
the defendant. There is involved in
this case a question of vital interest
to the grain trade and to every north
western farmer-the right of a coun-
try elevator manager to issue re-
ceipts for grain in form other than
that prescribed by statute and the
regulations of the railroad and ware
house commission, and the binding
power of such receipts or memoranda
upon the elevator company.
The case was bitterly fought in
June, 1901, was lost by the defend
ant, went before the Minnesota su-
preme court. was sent back for re-
trial, and came up again last month
at Granite Falls. Fifteen or more
rough slips bearing memoranda in
numbers and signed by j. Keely,
agent of the Northwestern Elevator
company, but without date or other
marks of defniteness, made up the
principal exhibit. The court decided
that such receipts are not binding
upon the elevator company and are
not collectable
In the case in question the elevator
company was able to show that there
was no record on their books that
they had ever received the grain and
that their agent had never notified
the Minneapolis office of any such
receipts. The first knowledge of it
came with the presentation of the
slips in question, which, the farmers
claimed, were issued to them by
Keely for grain taken in
With this decision in mind farmers
and country elevator men will have
need for greater caution hereafter.

ADD ADDITIONAL TARIFF
Talk Of a New Bill Of Lading for Rail-
road Freights.

Shippers are manifesting great in
terest in the threatened movement of
the railroad companies east and west,
to draw a new form of bills of lading.
| The new bills viii be in the form of a
contract and will reqire all shipments
to be designated as to Wheather carried
at owners or at carriers risk. If at
| the risk of the railroad company, an
additional 20 per cent of tariff will be
charged. At present goods carried,
nominally, at owners risk can becol-
lected for by the shippers if lost or
damaged.
The proposition of the railroads
came to light at a meeting of railroad
tariff men at Chicago last week. Itmet
with a vigorous protest on the part of
the shippers east and west. The easter
ners formed an association and pro-
pose to fight hard. Western manu-
facturers and wholesalers have acted
more conseryatively. They elected
representatives to attend the next meet
ing of the railroad men at Manitou,
Colorado, to be held in a short time.
Shippers are up against it hard if
| the new scheme is put through. If they
send stuff at their own risk the con-
Issignee will refuse to pay the extra
charge. If they don't they stand the
loss completely, if the goods are
stolen. Some Of the big Chicago
wholesalers say that they would have
to organize bureaus to find out how
every separate consignment is to be
sent.
