THE MARKETS.

The grain market is not much diff
feIent from what it was two weeks
ago. The May option is hanging
close to the dollar mark. The foreign
demand is very slow at the present
prices. At the present time all that
keeps the market from seeking the
foreign level is the report of drouth
in the winter wheat districts and very
light receipts at the terminal market.
Both these influences, however, are
not strong enough to send the market
up.
Oats and corn are holding up re-
markably we'll, as is also flax.
Barley is very weak. Private advices
from Milwaukee place the receipts at
about 20 cars per day, and half that
is being carried over unsold. There
is no one ON the market willing to
predict higher prices for barley.
Sioux City stock market Wednes
day was SIS .35@5 for bulk of hog
sales; beeves $5.2506.25, with other
cattle holding up in proportion.

John Knudson and wife, of Spirit
Lake township, returned from a Wis
it of a week to his brother Halsten,
who lives near Everdell, Mimi. They
had a splendid time. John says he
does not like that country as well as
this Last year the farmers in that
locality suffered practically a crop
failure because of too much rain, the
land beng so low and fiat that it has
no natural drainage. The farmers
did considerable dilching and this
year expect to raise a crop. The soil
is good and this season they are able
to get onto it and do their seeding in
proper season. Halsten sent his hes.
regards to all old friends and ac.
quaintances in this section.
The announcement of Hon. G,
w. Stoner, who is a candidate for re-
election to the Legislature appears in
this issue. Mr.. Stoner is now serving
his first term in that capacity. Mr.
Stoner has a clean record as a legis-
lator. He stood for, and helped to
enact, all the reform measures demand
ed By the people in the republican
platform of two years ago. He stands
squarely for a continuance of those
reforms and for such additional re
forms as are demanded by the Huron
platform adopted Adril 7th. He favors
the election of Hon. Coe |. Crawford
70 the y. S. senate, but, if elected. will
be governed on that matter by the will
of the republican party as expressed
at the June primaries. Mr.. Stoner on
his past record and his present pat
form is entitled to and doubtless will
receive Il denomination.
Elsewhere will be found the an
nouncements of l.. |. Olston, of Lake
Preston, for state senator, and that of
A. N. Barber, of Esmond. for rep
resentative. Both belong to the
stalwart faction. Mr.. Olston is max.
ing the race against Hon. Jacob john
son, who is serving his first term as
state senator, and, from location it can
be said that Mr.. Barber is opposed to
Hon. G. w. Stoner, the present re
preventative in the vest end who is
now serving his first term. The In
DEPENDENT has not a word to say
against Mr.. Olston or Mr.. Barber in a
personal or business way. They are
both good representative men Of
Kingsbury county. We must oppose
their candidacy, however, because of
the stand they take in politics. They
stand with that faction of the republi
ear party which is opposed to the re
forms we have been advocating, and
which is in favor of the reelection of
Kittredge to the senate to whom we
are opposed because of his utilization
with the SO called Interests" and be
cause of his opposition to the reforms
advocated by the progressive faction.

COMPLAINT IS FILED
M. J. AND K. c. IS TO BE MADE TO
 ANSWER.
wilI Try To Make Road Enter Union station at Mobiie--secretary Mails Barge Regula-
 tions.

Secretary S. P. Kennedy. of the Rail road Commission of Alabama. both sent out and received yesterday in- portant documents affecting carriers interests in the state. He mailed to all the barge and steamship line officers copies of the new rules and reGuia- tons of that body defining barse ser vice on the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers. This was in accordance with an order of the Commission issued this week after an extensive hearing of the subject.
 The Secretary received q formal complaint signed by F. o. Hoffman, counsel for J. W. Brown and others of Mobile. against the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Railroad. alleging that they are disobeying the law of the state in not entering the union de- pot that has been erected at Mobile. It Is a complaint somewhat similar to that filed against the Louisville and Nashville.
 The Legislative act of 1903 is cited as one which compels the lines run ming Into the Gulf City to enter q sim gle union station.
 The compiaint will probably be heard before the Commission when it assemblies December ' next at its regular monthly meeting.
 The letters affecting barge service rules have been sent to the following representatives of steamship com- panies and captains:
 MT. J. M. Dewberry. V. P. Birm- ingham and Gulf Railroad and Navi- gation CO. Birmingham
 Capt. Wm: M, Flames. steamer "Lu- cile." Mobile. Ala.
 Capt. H. M Lindsey, steamer American" Mobile. Ala a
 Capt. N. A. Staples, Staple line of steamers. Mobile. Ala. A copy of the letter follows: "I hand you herewith copy of rates, rules and regulations that the commission proposes to establish at its next regular meeting namely, Mon- day, December ', 1908. "The rates and regulations are ten- tative, and any suggestions that you may have to offer relative to changes herein will be duly considered by the Commission.
 ''The Commission will be glad to have any of you. if you so desire, tc appear before it at the above regular meeting to offer any further sugges- tions or changes as to the above rates and regulations"
 The rates and regulations referred to are applicable to the Alabama and | TombiRbee rivers.
