Minneapolis Market.

Minneapolis, Feb 4.-Wheat was
weak today but acted somewhat stub
born considerable short wheat was
covered early and with that buying
power out of the way there was per-
sistent decline. The general news was
very bearish and barring occasional
rallies we fail to see anything that can
stay further declines. Railroad diff
culties accounted for our moderate re-
ceipts and these will be maintained at
the maximum of the railroads TO bring
it in for some time vet. We consider
a Conservative position on the short
side as the most profitable as the
northwestern markets are developing

demands increase, borrows from the
city banks and the city banks that
they may be able to assist borrowers
possibly of the New York banks, each
note falling due earlier than the first
and each loan secured by papers,
perhaps, given in the first loan, thus
forming a chain. Anon, the New
York bank notifies the city bank that
its paper is due. the city bank calls on
the local bank and the local bank
calls on the merchant and the mer-
chants resort is the farmer. Now
what are they to do? They have sold
their "birthright" for a mess of
pottage, the merchant accepting it in
good faith and has made sacrifices
for him to tide him over. Certainly
his honor demands his coming
across" even if by holding his prod
uct longer he may receive more mon
ey for it.
But what the farmer wants to do
now is to avoid this getting in debt
and the pledging of his crop before
it is planted. This can be done by
living at home. The first thing to be
destroyed is the credit system, then
the one-crop idolatry, and with ba-
con selling around 20 cents per
pound, he must raise his hogs. This
will not only do away with this one
crop system, but will necessitate the
raising of cotton, corn and wheat.
Then will the farmers by these i'm
proved methods not only increase
their profits from their product. but
the prices realized will be far better,
with a much less cost of production.
Nor will he be forced to sacrifice his
product for whatever price is offer
ed.
1t is not my intention to criticise
the sale of commercial fertilizers ex-
cept for their extravagant use. The
soil is the farmers bank; he cannot
continue drawing checks on the
bank without making an occasional
deposit. The product and that sold
at will of producer means his capital;
the intelligent use of some particular
fertilizer suited to the soil is the cash
invested. But we do urge upon the
farmers the necessity of their living
at home and their taking up arms
against the going so deeply in debt
for just exactly such things as can
be successfully grown at home and
along with improved farm methods
and the magnificent results attained,
let them make equal advancement
along these more practical lines.

CREDIT AND MORTGAGE SYSTEM
These Prevent Farmers Getting
Fair Price for Cotton.


Fair Price for Cotton.
To the Editor of The News and
Courier:-Facts almost withoutnum'
Der have been published from time
to time in the papers of this State
and it's great possibilities. Many
of them refer to other sections, with
very little relative to this section.
The town which is anxious to inter
est capital or individuals must set
forth some salient points bearing
upon its growth. 1t must work hard
for them; work hard and wisely. So
with the farms and the farmers and
along with this hard work, they must
right the wrongs.
This county is abreast with any in
the State, morally, socially and intel
lecsually, and far surpasses some in
the fertility of the soil and for nat :
raj advantages to home-seekers.
The greatest progress they are
making to-day is in improved farm
methods. Nowhere is practical farm
education securing a better hold on
the people than in this county, and
nowhere are such magnificent results
obtained. The people of this county
realized the fact some years ago that
they had the soil and that with i'm
proved methods and business care,
could grow very much larger crops,
by two or three times at least, and
that the additional cost would not be
material while the increase in profits
from agricultural products would
treble and the yearly increase be
startling as compared with past fig
ures. This awakening has not
only solved the bread" question
with them for years to come, but it
answers the question Of how to OBJ
tain larger production of cotton to
meet the worlds demand. Now there
remains not so much higher price
for the cotton, but a fair price based
on cost of production. They want
price that will cover the cost and a
fair profit and want to be able to
count on some degree of certainty
This is only reasonable, but the diff
fculties in the way of realizing il
seem very great. As a matter of fact
the cotton grower has helplessly TAX
en- whatever price is offered him for
his product, irrespective of the cost
of production.
With this awakening of i'm
proved farm methods and the in
crease in profits from agricultural
products and in order that farmers
may secure profitable and uniform
prices for their products, it appears
that our farmers should avoid get
ting in debt and that struggle with
tie credit and mortgage system un-
der which he pledges his crop before
even planting it.
To review the conditions little,
which only sets forth in a way what
exists in most sections: Along about
the first of the year the farmer
comes to town, calls on the lien mer-
chant, gets his fertilizer prices, makes
his arrangements for fertilizers and
supplies for the year and gives as
security to the merchant for amount
wanted lien (now called mort.
gage) of his entire crop or crops,
which lien gives the merchant the
right to enter the farm and seize
said crop or crops. The merchant in
return and in order to accommodate
mis- many customers takes these
several papers to the local bank and

The buildings ut the mine have been
reconstructed and surface plant in
stalled for the opening OF the old
workings. Three months ago the
work of sinking a new vertical shaft
was commenced, and the shaft is now
down to a depth of about $50 feet. 1t
will be carried to depth of $50 feet,
from which a crosscut will be run
to connect with the bottom levels of
the old workings. 1t is expected that
this work will be completed in about
80 days, when four miles of under
ground crosscuts and drifts will be
opened. and as soon as the old work
ings can be cleared work will be COM
menced on the old ore bodies where
mining operations were suspended
when the properties were closed down
in 1893 because OF the low price of
silver.

In the Alpha shaft they are developing
the rich ore body at the water level
by means of diamond drills which are

a horizontal direction. The Alpha state
