Grain Opinions,

Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: We think
the wheat market has had break
enough and prefer to buy on the weak
spots. The corn market is still purely
a weather proposition, but we do not
care to follow rhe advance until we
are convinced that the damage is more
widespread than our advices up to the
present time indicate.
Finley Darrell g. Co.: AS the corn
situation appears TO be growing more
alarming daily, it is only reasonable
to assume that unless the drouth is
broken within the next few days much
higher prices will be experienced.
Logan & Bryan: We see no safety
or profit in this corn market except
in taking the buyers position on good
depressions so long as the map keeps
dry and the crop is threatened.
Shearson Hammill Co.: Keeping in
mind the fact that corn is passing
through its most critical period that
the speculative mind is imbued with a
very natural fear of damage in corn
duplicating that in wheat and that
losses already sustained in pastures
and hay makes the necessity for a
larger crop very pronounced. We feel
as though all good breaks in the corn
market should be taken advantage Of
and the buying side taken with con-
siderable confidence.

MOORHEAD men
IN WASHINGTON
NINNEsoTANs OBJECT TO PRO.
! HIRITloN MANDATE CLAIMING
THAT PARTS OF CLAY AND
+. POLK COUNTIES ARE NOT IN
cLuDED IN FIRST TREATY.

A dispatch from Washington says:
The order of the commissioner Of
Indian affairs prohibiting the sale OF
LIQUOR in Clay and Polk counties form
ed the subject OF two-hour confer
ence here today. Those who partici-
pated were Fred w. Zollman of st.
Paul agent of the Minnesota brewers;
Mayor w. P. Davy and former Re
preventative S. G. Comstock Of Moor
head; Assistant Secretary Pierce of
the Indian department, Acting Indian
Commissioner Hauke and f, G. Hol-
comb the official on whose advice the
prohibition order was issued.
The Minnesota detegation protested
against the application of the anti
liquor order to Clay and Polk counties.
Their representations were given close
attention, but at the end of the con-
ference it was announced that no con-
illusions had been reached by the off,
cials.
The conference today was held be-
hind closed doors. All that Mr.. Zoll-
men or the others present would say
about 1t was that a protest had been
made against the inclusion of the coun-
ties named in prohibition territory.
THE commissioner of Indian affairs
in his order has included parts of these
two counties which are not covered by
the treaty Of 1856" said Mr.. Zollman.
They are covered by other treaties in
which the wording of the liquor pro-
vision is different.
We contend therefore that the In
dian bureau should not have included
that territory embraced in the 1855
treaty. The parts of these counties
which we are seeking to have excluded
from the closing order is that in which
such towns as Moorfead and Barnes
vile IN Clay county, and plummer,
Winger and Fosston, in Polk county
are located
have property interests valued at more
than $1,00O,000 which will be confscat-
ed, or practically. IL this order is en-
forced. In Moorhead and GAINESVILLE
alone, the property loss would reach
81, 100000. And this does not include
the loss of business, which would bring
the total up to an enormous figure"
Mr.. zollman did not Indicate what
line Of argument was made with refer
ence to the distinc on between the
wording of the liquor clauses OF the
treaties of 1855 and 1863.
Il do not want to discuss that at, this
-ime," he said.
Mr.. zollman was asked whether the
argument today went into the question
whether beer is liquor" within the
meaning of the treaties.
BY express stipulation that was not
he replied.
Mr.. zollman said that no direct
hreat was made that If the depart
nent persisted in its intention to close
he saloons in Moorhead and the other |
owns mentioned suit would be brought |

STEVENSON TALKS
TO POSTnASTERS

"A feature of the convention of dis
tricr postmasters at Fergus Falls yes
terday was characteristic address by
Congressman Stevenson. He prefaced
his remarks with a review 'of ancient
and modern methods or the people
communicating with each other Re-
ferring to the postal savings bank
system and the carrying of the mails,
the congressman said In substance that
he believed the first was a very de-
siraDle plan. Some people are little
afraid of banks, and this gave them
an opportunity to bring their savings
out of hiding and put them in the Gus
tody Of the government, which guaran.
teed their safe return. The govern
ment then deposits the money in the
banks, and his brings it into ctrcula-
ton. Money is the life blood of com
nlerce, and il 1t Is boarded, business
stagnates to just that extent. AS soon
as II is brought out and put into the
banks it goes into circulation and BUSH
ness Is stimulated: III the amount OF
money boarded away averages only ST.
for every person In the country it
amounts to 10000, 900; If 1T is $40 each
1t amounts to 100000, 900. Either sum
put into circulation will be of vast
benefit in stimulating trade and In
dustry.
There has been some criticism of
the government lately. the allegation
being that 1t Is paying TOO much for
carrying mails. Mr.. Stevenson went
into this very fully and showed that
in recent years payment to the rail
ways for carrying malls had been cut
down very materially. The depart
ment finds that it loses about $6s,
100000 per annum in the carrying of
newspapers and magazines, which are
carried at / cent per pound, but 1t
makes a profit OF about 81 per pound
on letters. He believed that the gov
eminent should be willing to lose
something on newspapers and maya
zines for the reason that they diffuse
information among ell the people and
are thus beneficial, and they also re-
suit in the writing OF a great many let
ters on which the government makeo

Chicago. July 2s.-Our wheat mar
ket ruled weak during the early part
Of the session on selling by weak
longs, as well as considerable short
selling. On the decline there was very
good buying and the market had a
y rally, but later eased OFF in SYM
pathy with the weakness in corn; the
closing, however, was firm. Country
offerings We're much smaller and the
movement OF winter wheat to market
is falling off. Southwestern markets
reported farmers selling very little.
Cash demand there was reported very
good. There was no export business
reported from the seaboard, but we
understand that there were bids there
close to a working basis. principally
from the continent. The class of
buying today was Of good character
and we are Of the opinion that the
market has seen the bottom. We ad-
wise buying on all recessions.

Historic Relic Gomez to Lioht

Washington, D. c. July 2s.-The
original los book OF the famous Mon
itor. covering the period of her en-
gagement with the confederate IRON
clad Merrimac in Hampton Roads on
March 8. 1862, was today given to the
navy department TO be preserved
among its historic records.
The restoration of the log to The
department was due to Capt. Louis
Stodder OF the United States revenue
cutter service. now living in Brooklyn
and an officer on the Monitor during
her entire service. For years he has
treasured the log among his most
valuable possessions. but as old age
has crept over him, he desired to see
1t placed where it's preservation might
be assured. Hence It was that he for
warded It to the library Of the navy
department.
