this week. MIR. Grow informs
the Independent that it is not
his habit 10 slaughter the prices
on seasonabIe goods, but he is
compelled to do so in order to
raise money to pay past due
accounts. The recent fnan.
cial condition has cramped
many a business man, and while
Mr.. Grow will make not one cent
from the sale of his stock, and in
many cases, he is selling at much
less than the wholesale price,
the cash must be realized and it's
a splendid time for the public to
buy. The sale lasts fifteen days.
Grows sales are always bona

thwestern North Dakota, according to
A. A. Robinson of this city, who has a
string of elevators in the north
western part of the state.
Mr.. Robinson presents facts and fig
ures to prove his contention. The

on the mail report for the eleventh,

not paid 100 for flax The fixed
charges of handling, flax are 1901

leaves a margin of 2 "a cents. The
elevators are obliged to use the mail
report. not being able to depend on
the wires. If the market goes up dur

lose.
We wish our readers to consider that
Mr.. Robinson's deductions in the above
article are on the basis Of Wednesdays
market. This morning wheat in Minot
has advanced four cents a bushel, and
flax two cents, altho in Minneapolis and
Duluth, the advance on wheat was one
and three cents and fax one and three
fourths cents. making the margin Of
buying still less.

with reference to the complaint
that less is paid for storage wheat

in this as far as Minot and North

We pay just as much for storage
wheat as cash wheat. We give our
customers 20 days storage free, and
charge one-half cent bushel for
each fifteen days thereafter.
