Will NOT TAKE
OFF FAST MAIL
GREAT NORTHERN OFFICIALS
DENY REPORT REGARDING
DIScoNTINUANcE OF NEW
FLYER.

ST. Paul, Jan. 4.---Official denial was
made yesterday of the report from Sc
attic that the Great Northern would
take off its forty -eiSht hour fast mail
train between St Paul and Seattle if
the United States did not give the
train enough mail to warrant a con-
tinuance of it's operation.
The Great Northern lis now being
paid on the basis of the amount of
mail weighed four years ago and 1t
would make no difference If 1t were
getting a million tons day, so far as
the company is concerned, from the
standpoint of revenue" it was stated.
THE weighing for the next four years
basis of revenue will be started next
month and continued for three months,
and as far as I know the mail train
Is handling about all the business 1t
en- 80. So
The Seattle report also stated that
the Great Northern would probably be
given enough mai! to warrant the
operation of the fast mail if 1t were
given the mail to Portland. This is
now handled over a southern route,
and as far as can be ascertained the
Great Northern is not in position to
make abid for this business, although
it has ben able to take away consider
able mail business that formerly went
to the coast through the Missouri riv-
er gateway.

Liverpool Markets.

Liverpool, Jan. 4.-Firmness char
acterized the early dealings in wheat
and at the opening values were a
penny higher. Offerings were ex-
tremely light and shorts excited, slim
lllated largely by the advance in
America yesterday and light Ameri-
can offerings. The continent was a
free buyer and the demand from the
United Kingdom was urgent. Follow
ing the opening a further advance of
II to 5s occurred with good specula-
tive support The strength displayed
in Argentine future market which
showed a further advance of 81 to /
cent yesterday and the growing belief
here that the Argentine surplus will
be fully 100000 bushels less than
last year.
Cargoes are in urgent demand and
the six pence advance was paid for
La Plata steamers At midday the
market was strong and rs to 1h
higher than yesterday. The corn mar
ket was steady and unchanged, being
entirely neglected Spot wheat strong
and y to pence higher with the ex-
treme advance in Argentine trade.

ann MnrI<at Todav.

Minneapolis, Jan. 4.--There was q
bull market in wheat today even In
spite OF continual profit taking by
holders and a reluctancy on the part
of bulls to take full advantage OF the
strong situation that is passing In the
wheat markets of the world. Lack or
bull leadership is the weak speculative
factor, but even this cannot prevent
the underlying strong developments
from carrying prices higher. We see
conditions both domestic and foreign
strongly suggesting very high prices
before the May contract expires. The
bear is not only bucking natural
condition but is selling short future
at a discount compared with the cash
wheat which must be delivered on the
option. There is neither logic nor
reason in this.
We call attention to the strong tone
in northwestern cash markets. Re-
ceipts have enlarged the railroad sit
uation has improved, but the premiums
for No northern are actually
Strengthening instead of weakening
When the general trade was bearish
because of the accumulation of what
in transit. we were insistent these cars
could not have real weight on our
market, and this is well substantiated
by the action of the spot market
Wheat is now in new high ground.
Some hesitancy may be expected. We
still believe however, May Is pur-
chase on all easy spots and with pa
thence wheat purchased will make good
profits-Chas. e. Lewis & Co.

Foreign Crop Summary.

United Kingdom-The outlook for
the crop is fair and the weather has
become more favorable.
France-There are fewer complaints
being heard and the weather is more
favorable, SUPPLIES are moderate.
Germany-The outlook for the crop
continues favorable. The mild wealth
er is causing some anxiety about the
future outlook. Native supplies are
plentiful. but much is OF an inferior
uality.
Hungary and Roumania--The outlook
for the crop Is favorable, with the
weather mild.
Russia--In the south the outlook is
fairly satisfactory. Frost is wanted to
check the growth of the plant. The
bad condition Of the roads is interfer-
ing with the movement and, therefore,
supplies are lighter at the parts.
Italy-The outlook continues favor
able for the growing crops; there are
general rains which are favorable.
Supplies Of both native and foreign
wheat are plentiful.
Spain-The outlook for the crops is
satisfactory, although colder weather
will be beneficial in checking the rapid
growth.
India--The crop outlook keeps good.
The reserves in the country are esti-
mated to be liberal.
Australia-The transport difficulties
still continue and this condition is
checking movement The chartering,
however, for the new crop is on a lib
eral scale.

PARTMENT MAY USE TRUCK.

Fargo fat jewellers and roomers in
the uptown blocks who have been in
the habit of cooling their drinking
water-and other liquids-by lining
them on the window lodges far out of
the reach of thirsty pedestrians, are
no longer safe. An edict was issued
from the city hall this morning, THAI
ali live soldiers" would in the future
be left on lofty window lodges at their
own risk.
The advent of the new aerial truck
brings all of the improvised coolers"
within the reach of the members of the
fire department. During the next few
weeks while the fire fighting contriv-
ance is being tested, it is understood
that war will be waged on everything
of this nature.
This morning one prominent city Of
fetal spied a fine row of quarts lined
up in fifth story window in a prom
inent structure. A hurried conference
was held and at last the chief of the
fire department was notified and 1t is
stated that If they are still on deck
this evening that ladder will be shot
into the air and the suds rescued from
death by freezing.

IS NOW ASSURED
IMPRovEM EMIT A VERY lMPoR.
TANT oNE--RELtEVEs MAIN
LINE OF HEAVY
TRAFFIC.

Bismarck, NJ. D.. Jan. 4.-With Ayr,
Cass county, as the eastern terminal,
and Surrey, Ward county, the west
ern terminal the Great Northern rail-
road will build a new cut-ofT line
across North Dakota 70 a distance of
about lao miles. The resolution as
provided by the state law, laying down
the route that Is to be taken by this
new line, has been filed with SEQ OF
state Alfred BlaisdeIl and definitely
settled the long question as to where
this new line, which has been so much
talked of, will run.
The construction Of the new line Is
the following out OF the plan Of the
Great Northern to relieve as far as
possible the exceedingly heavy traffic
on the main line in North Dakota. AS
it lis now laid out the line will run
from Ayr across Cass county, cutting
over the northeastern corner of Barnes
county and traversing Griggs county
almost its entire width. 1t enters at
the east side of Foster county, just a
little southeast OF Darlington, and
leaves that county directly north of
that city. II then runs through the
southwest corner of Eddy county, the
northeast corner of Wells county and
the southwest corner of Benson. cross
ing Pierce county in the south,
traversing McHenry it's entire width
and into Ward county to Surrey, which
is six miles east of Minot
Just what effect the placing of this
western terminal at Surrey will be,
remains TO be seen. 1t Is certain that
little village will profit by It, as a
great deal of switching will be done
at that point when the line Is con-
structed. For some time 1t has been
supposed that this line would strike
either Minot, Williston or Stanley and
the announcement that the railroad
| has decided upon Surrey will come as
d big surprise The territory through
which the line will pass is a rich one

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett, Patten & Co.: The wheat
market Is under no pressure from &C
tual wheat. Speculative sentiment
leans toward lower prices.
Harris winthrop e. Co.: The ten
dency In wheat seems upward.
Clement, Curtis e. Co.: We prefer
scalping to the long side rather than
to the short side of wheat. The ten
dency in corn will be upward as good
No. 2 corn is now worth as much as
the future market and both are bound
TO work higher.
Finley, Darrell g. Co.. AS long as
cash wheat continues to come and a
premius it will be difficult to bring
about any permanent setback In the
price of futures Corn ultimately will
sell very mucL higher.
Walter Fitch g. Co.: We contin@e
friendly to the long side Of wheat.

dent, stated that he knew nothing OF

Some or the members of the board
say that they have heard several
names mentioned as possible success
sors to Mr.. Dunlop but that as these
came from unauthoritative sources
they refused 10 divulge them.
