engine was hurried to the scene. The
fire was under control by the time

bridge was saved.

TOLD TO BUY GRAIN
At HIGHEST PRICE.
LINE ELEVATORS GET ORDERS
,} FROM DULUTH AND MINNIE
N APoLIs MANAGERS.
FOREIGN DEMAND IS STRONG

Duluth, Nov. ia most encourag-
Ing piece of news developed yesterday
when it was learned that all the line
elevators in North Dakota and Mime
ssota had been given instructions by
{the Duluth and Minneapolis managers
Ito buy all the grain that is offered and
Ito pay the highest price for it.
Since the recent financial stringen-
cy spread over the country more or
less risk has attended the situation,
and no such sweeping instructions
were contemplated. but now that the
clouds are disappearing and money is
loosening up the indications are that
until the close Of navigation there will
be an almost unprecedented activity
IN the grain movement.
Foreign Demand Strong.
The foreign demand for grain is
very strong, providing 1t can be moved
before lake freight traffic ceases. In
this connection it might be stated that
the jobbers of Duluth and Minneapolis
have wired a great many Of their Gus
toners and statesmen to urge the mar.
keting of wheat at once to the end
that the farmers may receive the high
est possible price for the same. If
they hold back until navigation closes
prices will necessarily be much lower
on account of the all-rail haul from
the Head of the Lakes to seaboard.
