RECORD MOVEMENT
OF WHEAT IN AUG.
NEARLY ONE THOUSAND CARS
RECEIVED in MINNEAPOLIS
YEsTERDAY--oATs VERY
HEAVY.

Minneapolis, Aug. 31.--Missing the
record only by two points. the grain
receipts in Minneapolis fell just short
OF 1000 cars yesterday and a new
grain trade history was made, almost.
For, while thousand cars of grain
is nothing for Minneapolis, or even
200 cars, such totals do not come
as early as August. 1t is usually well
into September before the thousand
car days appear.
Yesterday when the railroads had
turned in their reports, and the foot
ing was made, It was found there
were 99S cars of grain in the railroad
yards. A wear ago today there was a
big run, but 1t fell short of today's by
20 cars in grain of all kinds and so
cars short in wheat. Indeed yester-
days wheat reports were the surprise
OF the trade and came within six cars
OF reaching 500. All but about sixteen
were new wheat. That much new crop
wheat moving in August is remarka-
BILE.
The feature OF the crops OF the
northwest this year In the weight of
the oats, Ave cars of No white
brought here today averaged 36 2-5
pounds to the bushel. Last year the
oats ran between 26 and 81 pounds.
Most of the grain moving into Min

The Cushman Fruit Nectar Co,

branch office in Fargo at once. l. w.
Spear, president of the company, w.
III. North, secretary, J. ". Smith and
3. A. stern are In Fargo at the pres
ent time making arrangements.
The company manufactures fruit
nectar" a drink made from tropical
fruit. They have been covering this
territory for some time from the Min
neapolis house but because of the
heavy freight rates on bottled goods
they intend to put in a bottling works
in Fargo. They will then ship their
ingredients from Minneapolis in bulk,
mix and bottle them in Fargo and will
be able to give the retailer a much
better proposition on prices.
The company has secured tempor-
ary offces in the Morton block and
have secured an option on part OF the
basement in the Loyal knights Tenn
pie building for manufacturing pur-
poses. It is their hope to secure a
good store building on Broadway and
II they do this they will sell their
goods direct to the public.
Fruit nectar Is a drink made from
pineapple, orange, lemon and fig
blended to make delicious draught.
It has been examined and passed by
Professor Ladd and has received many
testimonials from twin city physicians
and others.
They will give a big free advertising
demonstration for the next few weeks,
giving away bottles and drinks In
order to get the public fully acquaint-
ed with the merits of their goods.

Chicago, Aug. 31.--Wheat: Yester-

that their cables show no signs OF
Improvement, attributing the advance

lighter than anticipated but premiums
for cash wheat in Minneapolis were
quoted unchanged to 5kc lower It is
quite true that just at the moment
there is no pressure Of actual wheat
felt In any of the primary markets, but
the supply seems quite adequate to
the demand, especially with the ex-
porter looking on. However, consid-
cradle capital Is being made OF this
fact and wheat is being bought spec

"In every community we have vis-

that has been OF disgust and loathing
