The numerous irrigation enterprises
being carried out in the northwestern
states at the present time will open to
settlement hundreds of thousands OF
acres of fine land and will be the
means of bringing into the country
thousands of new settlers. The lands
will be sold to them at reasonable
prices and on terms that will work
little hardship on those who may hap
pen to have but little cash. The viz
gin richness of the soil assures good
crops from the very start, and the
large demand for fruits in every mar
ket insures handsome returns as soon
as the orchards are in bearing. The
more the work along irrigation lines
is made public the greater will be the
benefits accruing, not only to the
northwest in general but also to the
settlers who will come.

Sentiment in tie wheat pit was bear

lation and their response to the different
stages of the speculation is accepted as
pointing to the proba bilities in other
cases. 1t is this condition that makes the
movement of the stocks of large sympa-
thetic effect on the whole market.
Great Northern has been the beneficiary
of a profitable series of developments
which have given a keen speculation in
the shares. The announcement this week
per cent of holdings of the stock is be-
lieved to end the series of special occur
rences which have been the ground for
the speculation in the stock. In the par
lance of the stock exchange all the good
news on the stock is out. Speculative
holders of the stock who had not already
released their profits were inclined there
fore to sell, with the exception of posi-
bilities for stimulating further buying of
the stock. This selling met SO slight a
demand that a movement in the price re-
the speculation had run to excess and had
set an undue valuation on the benefits
which have accrued to the stock. The
conclusion was fortified by the rapid de-
cline in Great Northern ore certificates
and in the subscription rights to the new
stock which were dealt in in the outside
market. The disappointing response of
Great Northern preferred to the pros
pect of the large addition to the capital
sotck was of special effect on sentiment
owing to the large part played In the
recent speculation by hopes of subscrip-
ton rights to new stock issues.
