THE PROSPERITY WAVE

Any Minneapolis business man who
reads the summary elsewhere in Z h
J ournal# of today must feel a sense
of satisfaction over a prospect so IA
vorable that with its full realization
new records will be assured. The coun-
try upon which Minneapolis depends
stands to reap a bumper crop. In this
the financial and commercial center,
the effect will be felt with the begin
ming Of harvest now only short look
ahead. The funds for moving the mil
lions Of bushels Of grain must be found,
and the money will come principally
from Minneapolis, or thru Minneapolis.
Next will come the great wave of pros,
perity that always follows bountiful
harvest. The farmer is the buying
power nearest the foundation of things.
When he has the money the structure
is strengthened against adversely and
his prosperity makes for activity that
reaches thru the whole framework.
Until the end Of last week there was
still uncertainty as to4the outcome and
some tendency towards hesitancy and
cautiousness. Merchants felt it, and
bankers. 1t is feeling that belongs
to the middle Of July when in a night
the crop situation may take a turn for
the worse. There were rumors OF the
rust infection, that injured the crops
SO seriously two years ago. But nature
smiled, and the weather was so good
that no spread Of the infection was pos
sible. Only few days more of good
weather and the crops will be safe.
It is certainly now that the city will
make its much-to-be e-desired record and
20 across the billion-dollar line in bank
clearings. This will give Minneap-
oils prestige that will be worth much.
It will create for the city a standing
advertisement that will work to it's ad-
vantage. Statistics do not prove every
thing, but they are a mighty power
nevertheless. People the country over
will begin to think that Minneapolis
must be something of a place, once they
see that there is billion dollars in
| bank exchanges passing here in year
The big crop will make for increased
confidence in credits. The northwest
stands high in that respect. Figures
for the first half Of 1906 show a sur
prisingly small number Of failures il

SOUTH ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK

A better supply of beef steers has
been available this week than at any
time since. the present season opened.
There were fairly liberal runs Of cat

good cattle, and such stuff found quick

and feeder market gained strength this
week, and the, tone of the trade was
better than it has been for some time.
| Considering the medium class of cat
tie in the yards and the condition of
other markets, the market here was in

would cause a, break, as the demand at
best is not very broad atc this season
and outside influences are unfavorable.
Good feeders and stockers sold read

dull in the commoner, grassy and me-
dunn steers and prices broke 100000.
Nearly 100 head of prime beeves made
$6.40 this week, the best price Of the
year, considering the number which
landed at that price, and distiller steers
landed at Sc. More offerings brought

the northwest is expected late this
month, and shipments should be i'm full

ers was more liberal and prices broke
25c. Corn-fed lots held steady. Most
good to choice cows and heifers landed
