this kind OF news was the story that
tho officers Of the Red River Valley
Brick company had been indicted by
the federal grand jury for accepting

road. When inquiry was made at the
Offices Of the company in this city this
morning as to the foundation for the

the matter with the utmost contempt,
stated that no one in his senses would
advance such q story unless he was

and that this was the first straw which
indicated the direction of the wind.

Secretary FoIlett Of the Commercial

Here This Winter.

Fargo will entertain the members

Of the entire northwest this winter, il
the plans of Secretary e. B. Follett
materialize. Last winter the members
of the different builders and traders
exchanges of Duluth, Minneapolis, st.
Paul. Fargo and other northwestern
points met in Duluth and held a very
interesting session. There is no reg
ular association and representatives of
the various Exchanges only meet on
invitation, but Mr.. Follett believes it
would be good plan to have them
come together in Fargo this year.
Another plan which the secretary
has up his sleeve is the formation of
a state federation to include all the
builders and traders exchanges in
North Dakota. Both these plans will
be presented at a meeting of the local
exchange to be held at p. m. Thurs
day. in the new commercial club
rooms and in addition several other
matters of Importance will be brought
up for discussion.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. H. Nearly
ten thousand delegates and visitors
have been attracted to this city by the
National Colored Baptist convention.
which opened here today at Cotton
shed No. 6, at the foot of Commerce
street, in the old navy yard and which
will continue until Tuesday of next
week. The convention was originally
called to meet at Los Angeles, CAL,
but the place was changed on account
of the earthquake. AS this city did
not have enough hotel accommodations
for so many colored people, the COM
mittee of the local colored Baptists
was compelled to rent number of
vacant houses and tit them up as tenn
porary hotels.

Corporations which desired to secure
the street railway franchises fought
the matter in the legislature, but May

DuRuM WHEAT ON PRICES.
Effect Durum Wheat Is Likely to
Have on Prices.


In his Commercial West, H. ".
Jones, the crop expert. considers the
effect that durum wheat may have on
the prices of other wheat, and says:
or course everything depends upon
the market for durum, whether there
is found an export demand sufficient
to take the bulk of the crop. If not,
the disposition of the surplus is bound
to be matter of great Importance.
In this connection the following let
ter under date of August %, from a
semolina miller at MarseiIles to a
member of the Chamber of Commerce,
will be of interest:
+ THE North African crop has turned
out even better than expected. Tunis
and Algeria will this year export
about 100000 bushels of hard (maca-
ronD wheat, against nothing last
year. The quality is fine. Russia,
on the contrary, is disappointing. AS
a result of the heavy rains of July,
this market has hardly received any
hard wheat from Russia Yet to
counterbalance Russia, we count on
important exports from the Danube
country, which can export, as it has
done when it has a good crop, sO,-
900 to 100000 tons of hard wheat
Spain was a considerable importer last
year, but this year has raised large
crop, and will need no foreign wheat.

wheat, African is worth in Marseilles

reasons, of course, why the immunities
