GOOD CROP PROSPECTS:
L. w Aver Feels Sure Of
a Bumper
Crop.

L. w. Aver, one Of the best known
cruisers in northern Minnesota, whose
home*is at Belle Prairie. in Morrison
county, was In the city last night, q
guest at the Mckay, while on his way
to the Rainy lake country north OF
international Falls. says the Duluth
News-Tribune of July s0th.
''Ali kinds of grain in Morrison
county now is looking better and pro-
misses bumper crop perhaps even
greater than in the remarkable season
OF 1885," said Mr.. Aver last night.
II have gone over part of the
county recently and the prospects are
greater than anyone could imagine
who has not visited the farming dis.
tricts.
1.-The only thing that can prevent a
wonderful yield in that locality will
be an early frost. Corn is being
cultivated extensively in Morrison
county now and that product perhaps
alone would suffer If heavy early
frost should occur"
Mr.. Aver, who is past the age
when most men would shirk long
tramp through the woods, is on his
way to the region north of Rainy
lake. In that locality several finds
of ole have been rumored He stated
last night, however, that although he
had seen many traces of mineral de-
posits there, he did not believe that
much Of merchantable quality had
been discovered.
"There is ore there said Mr..
Aver. land l presume that some val
liable finds will be located Some
Duluth and international Falls people
are interested in that region and
someone is prospecting over it almost
all the time.'
Mr.. Aver related several incidents
regarding the trouble experienced
with porcupines in the Big Fork
country, where he had been recently.
The little animals are troubling
settlers as we'll as campers in that
region. Anything that has salt on it
will attract them and they have been
known to devour whole oak barrel
slaves to obtain the saline. Paddles
left about the camps and even canoes
in which bacon had been carried,
will attract them.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
UNsEAsONABLY COLD WEATHER M
TERFEBEs WITH BUILDING.
Distributiye Trade, Both Wholesale
and Retail. Has Practically Marked
Time-Week's Failures.

NEW YORK. April 22.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Unseasonably cold weather all over the
country interferes with plant preparations
and growth and interrupts outdoor activity
in many lines. notably building. Distribu-
tive trade. both wholesale and retail. has
practically marked time" during the
week
The effects of this and OF past unfavor-
able weather are reflected in reports Of
slow business in shoe manufacturing and
building. while in cotton manufacturing
high prices of raw and manufactured goods
continue bar to activity
AT the South cold weather is complained
OF as interfering with farming preparations
ana with plant growth. These causes have
combined TO give an air OF unwonted quiet
10 spring business and have unquestionably
retarded collections Back of weather and
price conditions there looms UP the political
outlook. which In most presidential years
has induced tendency toward conserva-
tiSm.
While fall trade has opened up measura-
bly, well in some sections, there is a natural
tendency TO await future developments at
fecting crop and other conditions
Among the industries iron and steel note
an accentuation Of the quiet observable last
week. Buyers for delivery during the Sec
ond quarter are insistent ever in de-
mands for delivery, but makers of finished
products, with few exceptions, observe hes
itation in the placing of orders for the bal
ance of the year, this hestancy being in
creased by the reduction in the price of ore.
Agricultural implement manufacturers
are among the freeSt buyers or steel, but
the railroads are taking only sparingly.
Wooden goods machinery could be more
active. The market is rather low at the
East, though higher prices than last year
are reported being paid for the new wool
clip at the West.
Raw cotton has weakened on a rather
than expected movement inducing iQuida-
ton. There are some exceptions TO the
quiet tone noted, especially in the rubber
trade, which is quite active: In lumber,
which shows more activity in some Sec
tions; in hardware and in anthracite coal.
which is selling well in anticipation OF the
usual monthly advances and on continued
cold weather.
A spring trade is being done in staple gro
ceries and lines which fiuctuate little from
year to year. The poor trade in flour was
a depressing feature this week, the mills
refusing much business at the lower rates.
Some export business was reported done at
| the declines in wheat and corn. Home
products declined again. though receipts
are smaller and prices of animals higher.
Coffee declined slightly on larger receipts.
Business failures in the United States for
| the week ending with April q number 199.
| against l9S last week. l52 in the like week
in 1903 Isl in 1902. PA in 1901 and 1s2 in 1900.
In Canada failures for the week number
eleven against twenty last week and thir-
| teen in this week a year ago.
