NO AGREEMENT
BETWEEN BARRIERS
FARGO MEETING or NoRTH DA-
koTA BARRIERS ASSOCIATION
AT WALDORF WAS NOT Sue
cEssFUL-No AGREEMENT WAS
REACHED ON ANY MATTER.

THE meeting Of the North Dakota
BARRIERS association was not success
full last night in accomplishing it's pur-
pose" said President Martin at the
Waldorf barber shop this afternoon.
Although there were nearly 100
BARRIERS in the city to attend the meet
ing Of the association last night, none
OF the objects OF the session were ac-
complished.
Regarding the 1O-cent neck shave,
no agreement was reached at all, and
prices will continue as they have been
heretofore. Some OF the local BARRIERS
stated their strong objections to an in
creased charge on neck shaving, and
some wanted to cut the proposed price
in two and make 1t cents. However,
no agreement was reached.
A pleasant evening and supper were
before the session. Many
pleasant friendships were formed, and
1t served to get the BARRIERS from all
parts of the state better acquainted,
which in itself is good thing, so that
has been accomplished in
that direction"
President Martin said that the entire
credit for the social success of the
meeting belonged to Secretary Rich
ardson, who had worked very hard to
make the meeting a success.
James Cowie, one of the leading bar
oers Of Fargo, stated that he was al
ways opposed to the additional price
FOR neck shaving ana that No av+ra
charge would be made at his shop no
matter what the decision might have
been at the meeting of the association.

Evenlna Grain Letter.

Chicago, Aug. g. Wheat: The mar
ket opened generally higher. but was
again under pressure of realizing sales
and from the influence of the weaker
northwestern markets which later
broke over 2 cents bushel from the
high point Of the morning, but re-
gained half Of the decline. On the
break we have reason to believe the
exporters were good buyers OF wheat
and that considerable cash business
had been accomplished today, although
details regarding same are unobtain-
able. There was doubtless consider
able evening up today pending the gov
eminent figures which are due this
afternoon. The market In our opinion,
shows a very strong undertone, and
while much stress Is necessarily mace
upon present heavy stocks, we believe
that the demand viii be amply suti-
cient to take care of present accumu-
lation. Bartlett Frazier Co.
