st. Paul, Nov. 12.-"This week will
see a great change for the better in
the financial situation" said Judge J..
w. Lusk, president of the National
German-American bank, yesterday on
his return from the East. New York
and Boston bankers feel the trouble is
over. S
'The improvement is due to two
main sources -. the importation of

tional currency from the government
treasury.
Moving the Crops.

''The country has outgrown the sup

prices demand more currency than is
to be had all at once, with the banks

Gold From Europe.
New York, Nov. IL. = The most
eventful week in the financial history
of the present generation closed on
Saturday with conditions much clear

The restoration of comparative Sc
curity in New York was obtained by
demands upon the money markets of
Europe. The demand for gold from
Europe came at favorable time in
some respects for the outward move.
ment of American products, of which
the leading ones are cotton and wheat.
Under the actual conditions Europe
must pay substantially in gold for the
balance of exported products which is
being created in favor of this country
by every bale of cotton and carload of
wheat placed on shipboard for export.
Situation Cleared Up.
New York bankers are sending for
ward to the West and South all the
currency they can spare, especially
to those points where in their judg-
ment it is most needed.
The new week opens with the bank

The steady improvement in finan-
@cial conditions in New York was re-

GRAIN ON THE WAY TO MARKET.
Plan Adopted by Minnesota Banks to
Move Crops Is Effective.

FIan ADOPTED by Minnesota Banks to
Move Crops Is Effective.
:. st. Paul, Nov. 10.-According to re
ports received from various places
over the Northwest the credit scheme
which was inaugurated by bankers in
Minnesota to facilitate the movement
Of grain seems to have had the desired
effect, although the plan has not been
operative long enough to determine to
just what extent it will serve the pur.
pose. The farmers and dealers are
being urged to cooperate with the
bankers and large dealers as we'll as
the railroad and steamship lines.
"The effect of the scheme, which
was started last Tuesday, said a
prominent st. Paul banker yesterday,
seems to have produced better con-
ditions with regard to the movement
of grain. Although the plan has been
in operation only couple of days, it
is being adopted largely both by farm
ers and local dealers. There .sn)nld
be a movement of grain eastward for
export, which will greatly relieve
financial conditions in general in this
country.
"The idea was to urge the farmers
and small dealers to utilize more gen.
orally an exchange of credit rather
than an actual exchange of currency.
That is to say, 1t was suggested and
urged that country bankers and mer.
chants should honor checks by giving
credit for them, drawn on grain bug
ers. BY doing this grain could be sold
and shipped over the railways to the
lakes"
It was stated at the Great Northern
freight Offices yesterday that the
movement Of grain toward the Head of
the Lakes during the week had been
about normal, although there was a.
slight falling of from the standard Of
previous years.

London, Nov 12.-An extraordinary

1t is related that at the conclusion
Of the recent maneuvers the channel
fleet and the first cruisers squadron
were ordered by the admiralty to re-.
pair, etc., in honor of the German en-
peror.
Upon receipt of this order Sir Percy
Scott, commander of the cruiser
squadron, sent the following signal to
two of his vessels:

demand than gunnery, so you had bet.
ter come in time to look pretty by the.

May Let Out Sir Percy.
Admiral Sir Charles Beresford, in
general order to the fleet repeating
the instructions to repaint, refers to
the signal sent out by Sir Percy Scott
as cUntemptuous in tone and insuuur-
dinate in character,9 and orders Sir.
Percy to have it striker from the
signal logs.
Sir Percy Scott and the members of
his staff were summoned aboard Ad--
miral Beresfords flagship Friday and
the admiraps reprimand was read to
them.
This affair has created consterna.
ton in the fleet, and there is proba-

ELEVATOR, 100000 BUSHELS OF
GRAIN AND OTHER PROPER.
~ BURNED.
HEAT DRIVES flRfMtN AWAY
BLAZE HAS GOOD START BEFORE
DISCOVERED = ORIGIN uN-
KNOWN.

Duluth, Nov. 10. = Fire of an un
known origin last night caused the de-
struction of the Great Northern ele
vator A in Superior, together with
100000 bushels of grain, principally
wheat, all of which was fully covered
by insurance. The elevator was own
ed by the Great Northern railroad
but was leased to the A. D. Thomson
Grain company of Duluth. The sparks
soon ignited the Grand Republic mill
on Tower bay slip, the Great Lakes
Dredge and Dock company dock, and
the Duluth-Superior Storage company
which contained the finishing plant of
the Webster Chair company.
Loss Will Reach $2,5oo,ooo.
It is estimated that the aggregate
loss will reach. $2,5O0,O0O. The fire
started at the southeast corner of the
elevator "A dock and before it was no.
ticed had communicated to the eleva-
tor. An alarm was turned in and four
fire tugs responded, but owing to the
intense heat they were driven out of
the slip and devoted all their energies
to saving the adjoining property. The
steamers w. A. Parent and w. A. Rog-
ers were in the elevator A slip load
ing wheat and the latter was to take
out 100000 of wheat to-day.
Steamers lowed to Safety.
The steamers Utica, Alva and Chill
were on the opposite side of the slip
at merchandise dock and were pull
ed out by tugs to save them from de-
struction. The Globe elevator, owned
by the Peavey company, was on fire,
and for time it looked as though it
would go, but the firemen succeeded
in extinguishing the flames. The blaze
also spread to the sawmill property of
the Peyton, Kimball C Barber compa-
ny, but this likewise was extinguish-
ed before any serious damage was
done.
Property Destroyed.
At 1 o'clock this morning the fire
seemed to be under control, although
still burning fiercely in some of the
doomed structures. The combined de-
partments of Duluth and Superior are
combating the confagration. The
property destroyed at this hour is as
follows:
One Great Northern elevator, Min:
kota flour mill and elevator, FreeAan
mill and elevator, Grand Republic mill
and elevator, Commander mill and ele-
vator. twenty dwellings and several
small warehouses lining the bay front.
