Put" of Granite Falls says that
Clarkfield is the only town on the

The village of Evan is now a
separate election and assessment dis

village was set off from the town.
ship was carried unanimously.
w. H. Gold of Redwood Falls was

The recent suicide of editor Svijda
suggests to the Winthrop News that
Chas. Slough, foreman in the Mont
gomery Office, is having a rather
strange experience; this suicide fol-
lowing close after that of his former
employer at Arlington last year.
Now soon the bull-frog's croak
we'll hear, the blue birds song our
hearts will cheer. the robins, too,
will nest again, and then will come
sweet Jenny Wren, and happy. midst
these vernal scenes we'll fill our
system full of greens.
The farmers elevator company at
Milroy made a good showing at its
annual meeting, and will be piloted
to greater prosperity next year, we
hope, by the following officers: J.

Blue Earth Post: On last Wednes-
day mornings north-bound passen-
ger train were six families from
Iowa headed for Canada. 1t is
worthy of note that of the twenty
eight children belonging to these
families, nineteen were robust boys
ranging in ages from four to eleven
years. Our British neighbor has a
good future.
The clerk of the court of Blue
Earth county refused a colored man
a license to wed a young white girl
and the parties had to go to another
county or remain unwed. The clerk
refused the couple the license on
general principles and it is deemed
doubtful if there is any law that
would justify him in taking such
action. The clerk probably thot that
the would-be bride was color blind.
Review: Friday evening, while
returning from New Ulm to Cam
bria, with team of Dan Williams,
George Dauer, a hired man, drove
the team into the Minnesota river.
1t would have been an easy matter
to have unhitched the horses and
saved them, but instead of doing
this Dauer disappeared and left the
team to drown. 1t is reported that
before disappearing he visited the
Williams home and asked fellow
hired man for knife with which to
cut his throat.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Nov. 2e.---There was not the consistent weakness in the stock market % the souss of G prioes % Gu ~as uncertain and fiuc. tuating all day Liquidation of the special kind that was in evidence yesterday was ton of this fact prompted some covering of shorts during the decline. Hence the midday rally In the naarket ,.
 days liquidation has crystalized into rather definite information pointing to persoaai vorced the operations from any unfavorsbie corporation developments. The episode was taken to heart. however. as an evidence time with the maturity of loans to influen- tial capitalists. who no longer command the unlimited tolerance of banks and who may be, in consequence, forced to similar exped- ients to meet their obligations There was in fact some recurrence of such liquid 0 fer tons Of the market for csl money in the last day or two does not serve as assur- apee against such exigencies on the occa- whole problem of maturities of outstanding loans obligations offers somewhat formtda- ble possibilities for speculative conJecture: especially in view of the conviction that nearly every universal indulgence has been showp during the period of practical paral- suffered. The The ultimate outcome when the business body begins to feel the currents of life circulate again and when in conse- quence the liquidation must be renewed, Is the subject of soiicitude. It has been sig nfficant that some of the occasional liquid atton has come from savings banks which have placed the allowed perfod on the wfth- drawal of deposits but to which notices Of intended withdrawals will expire from time
 The New York savings banks report. how ever, that a large proportion of such notices already have been revoked and that new deposits are coming in large amounts The development of the day which was least liked was the renewed rise in the premium on the currency and the resulting signs of disorder in the foreign exchange market.
 The demand which lifted the premium again seemed to be quite general coming from widely different points and not due to any special need. Discounts rose in the drawai of gold from that market seemed to be viewed with some disquietude. The im- pressiOn grew that obstacles might be found to the placing of the United States treas ury one year three per cent. certificates from which so much was hoped in the
 The extent to which bids were coming Tn for the certificates and the reports of the many questions raised by bankers concern ing the terms and the privileges of the Issue fostered the impression of lack of smoothness in placing tt.
 tic Coast Line stock caused some special weakness in the Southern group. The call ing of loans by the banks which ran the call loan rate up to IS per cent, was at tributed in some quarters to preparation by the banks for subscriptions to the United States treasury certificates. The effect was to weaken the whole market again.

Sentiment seemed to be little more favorable to the market. owing to the smaller estimates of the crop recently cir culated .and the bull claims of continued firmness in the interior markets of the South
 General business was restricted no doubt by uncertainty regarding the action of the revision committee for the close tonight and as to the showing of the census report ex- pected early tomorrow Local statisticians are estimating that the census report will show about 7,500,0O0 bales ginned to Mo- vember 14th. against S,5s0 000 to the same date last year, and think such a showing would indicate crop of under 12.0OO, 900 bales.
