MILLIONS DRAWN
TO HANDLE GRAIN
MINNEAPOLIS BANKS HONOR $to,-
100000 IN DRAFTS DURING
THREE DAYS.

Minneapolis, Oct 8.-The grain
shipping country has drawn upon
Minneapolis for $10,600,000 in three
days. The week began with many
grain drafts in the bankers mail. Yes
terday morning the ten-million total
had been passed and the amount was
more than half way towards $11,000,-
600. OF this three-day business, $685.
100000 was in the form of grain
drafts, and $2,OO0,O0O in currency
shipments by local banks.
There are two meanings to the
heavy demand. One is, that the move
ment of grain into Duluth is being fin
anced in greater portion from here.
The other is the evident beginning of
the trend towards Minneapolis, the
movement to this time having direct
ed itself more towards the head of the
lakes.
Bankers Kept Busy.
The taking out OF the mail of one
day by the Northwestern National
bank of country drafts on Minneapolis
grain firms, for nearly $1,400,0O0,
spoke of increased shipments this
way. The First National, with one
of the biggest days in its history on
Monday, had also big days business
on Tuesday. The Security found
Monday and Tuesday equaIed in vol
ume of business by the record of We'd
lnesday
At the Chamber Of Commerce, the
grain firms are finding heavy demands
upon them for money. In the early part
of the grain movement, much grain,
estimated variously at 100000 to
II, 100000 bushels, was sent in by
farmers TO country stations but not
sold. StorG Sc tickets were taken out
Selling Of this grain later has Greater
heavy money flow to the country In
payment for it.
Grain Receipts Lighter.
TO date, counting from September
/, Minneapolis has received 1882, $50
bushels Of wheat, compared with TO-
974,450 last year, and in total re-
ceipts of grain Of all kinds is as much
behind, with 26,101 $50 bushels com
pared with 32,9G3, $50 up 10 this time.
last year.
Reasons for the lighter receipts are
the tendency of farmers to hold back,
and also the heavy demand for wheat
to go east by the lakes, this demand
drawing it naturally to Duluth
The indications now are that the
trend has turned, and that Minneapo-
lis receipts will increase in all kinds
of grain.
This will make the banking business
livelier and bring up the clearings.

BOND THE COUNTY

The most businesslike thing that the
people of Stark county car do 10 secure
the much needed road and bridge i'm
provements, is to bond the county for
$50, COO. 1t is believed that the state
would take the bonds at 4 per cent.
Anyway good bonds do not bear q high
rate of interest in these days, and with
our rapidly increasing wealth the tax
payers would never feel that any burden
had been placed upon them.
The most essential thing for the settlers
of the county is good roads. They are
needed in every part of the county, and
if the different towns of Stark are to
maintain their share of trade from the
north and the south. the roads and
bridges must he put in good shape. If
this matter is put off another year the
loss in trade to the county will amount
to thousands of dollars. Take this
matter up at once. Every voter in the
county should be interested in it. Ask
the commissioner of your district to take
the necessary steps to get the propo-
.sition before the people.

Prices and Meat Trust.
[Philatielphia Press.l

The one important food controlled by
monopoly is meat. As the bureau Of
corporation showed in it's report, the
Chicago Meat Trust practically mo-
nopolizes the supply OF meat to Aneri-
can cities. The chain Of related firms
and corporations from Omaha to Chi
cago controls the purchase of cattle.
sheep and swine from the farmer, and
the Meat Trust" not by corporate
action, but by community of interest,
controls the refrigerator cars, the dis
tributing agencies in the cities and q
large share of the tanneries to which
the hides so and are turned into
leather.
These associated firms and corpora
tions. which make up the "Meat Trust"
make the price to the farmer. They
force the railroads to carry at rates
which prevent competition. They con-
troll the price of meat to the consumer
by their control over the supply of
meat to local butchers. They success
fully kept up the price Of hides and
leather when cattle on one side and
shoes on the other fell in price DURING
the recent depression.
No more complete and ingenious
control Of necessity of life exists. 1t
has lasted now in its full strength for
a dozen years. During that time the
supply Of meat has ceased to increase
Up to ten or twelve years ago the
supply of cattle and swine had grown
faster than population. Since the Meat
Trust" got control this increase in
product has stopped and the price rises
to the consumer. as all know.
This Is a meat-eating country, as
Secretary Wilson has pointed out, but
1t will not remain so If a combination
(not corporate, but associated and act
ing together) is allowed to control the
price of cattle and swine to the farmer
and the consumer. The farmer is pref
ty sure to find his profit gone and the
production of meat will be checked, as
it has been. Prices will rise to the con-
sumner and he will find himself unable
| to buy.

books are common necessities and

business is one that can be readily
adapted to state control; it would have
been so generally, the states would
have been publishing school books for

of such ventures to run towards un-

better for the school book publishers
to be content with a reasonable profit
and for the people to buy books of pub

fits must be kept within bounds If the
publishers are to gain and keep the
