THE WHEAT MARKET.


In Its weekly review of the wheat
market The Minneapolis Tribune has
the following editorial:
In the last three months there has
been net gain in wheat prices in the
local market of is cents a bushel. The
strength has been in the face Of ex-
traordinary large receipts. 1t has not
been the result of speculation imitation
but rather the gradual hardening Of
values based on the commercial ex-
pansion.
In the northwest the movement of
wheat since the first of September
has been on so liberal scale that 1t Is
estimated that more than half the
marketable wheat has passed from
farmers hands Terminal stocks in
Minneapolis and Duluth are not es-
pecially large, yet the receipts at both
markets since the beginning of the
crop season are about the same as a
year ago and The 1911 crop is about
S4,000,000 bushels smaller.
The accommodations have, however.
obscured the full season supply and
demand position. There is no appar-
ent shortage, on the contrary; the
the stocks available for consumption
are exceedingly liberal but 1t is sug-
gested that consumers of the raw ma
terial are cognizant of the strong un-
DERIVING situation because cash wheat
has developed great strength i'm all
markets. Premiums for contract
grades have been widening rel
alive to the future so that, In spite
OF the large terminal stock, the cereal
is not a drug on the market.
The last government report gave the
three northwestern states a wheat
harvest Of 142,000.000 bushels. It is
not improbable that some further re-
duction win be made in. the December
revision owing to further losses and
impairment of quality of the wheat
exposed to the wet weather. The re-
ports of elevator managers show that
there is still considerable wheat that
farmers have been unable to thresh
owing to the intermittent rains.
Prices are, of course, quite high.
Underlying conditions, nevertheless,
are not only strong but they are from
the technical point of the wheat Dit
very healthy. The advance has come
from legitimate conditions without
the stimulus Of speculative particle
patton. 1t has reflected the consume
tive demand and while the cash sftua-
ton remains broad and active recess
sions in quotations cannot be more
than temporary.

According % Unole Abner.

It seems strange. but never yet
see a teller gettin' a tooth pulled who
looked as though he was enjoyin' 1T.
1t seems to be some difficult to tell
the insurgent republicans from the
progressive democrats at the present
writing.

DELAYED WORK.

Residents of the southern counties
and Of ths greater part of the Red
river valley fail to realize the delay

work in some parts Of the state.
Along some Of the branch lines where
the crop was heavy--both men and
machines were scarce and threshins

Rains came and were Of such fire.
quent occurrence the grain scarcely
had time to dry before being wet
again. As a result much of the crop
stands In the shock.
AT the end of the line from sanborn
to McHenry 1t is stated that only one
third the wheat has been threshed.
In addition to damage to the grade
of the unthreshed gradn-there are
more unfortunate features. The land
could not be pIowed because Of the
wheat shocks and the farmers have
BEEN unable to conserve the moisture
for next years crops. They will be
delayed next spring because of the
necessity OF doing the blowing then.
Only an unusually late fall win give
the farmers Of many sections of the
stats an opportunity to catch up with
their work.
The advocates OF wheat stacking
poiaE out moral-but in some places
there was so much rain that 1t was
not possible even to do that. Those
who did stack early succeeded in get
ting their blowing done on time-as
they could do this between showers.

Aneta Panorama Congressman
Hanna has announced his candidacy
for governor and 1t is safe to say that
he will be the choice of his party at
the primary and elected at the gener-
al election by the largest majority ev-
er given any man for that Office in the
state. His good natural abilities, hon
orable and successful business career
and excellent record as a public SER
want make him an ideal man for the
place. He is acquainted with the
needs and wants of our state and will
give 1t a practical and successful bus
mess administration. We doubt that
a better choice for governor could be
made.
Devils Lake World: L. B. Hanna is
receiving some splendid endorsements
from the papers OF the state since his
announcement came out. The news
paper boys have followed Mr.. Hanna's
career with no little interest and know
that he has always been active in the
welfare Of the state.
Devils Lake World: 1t il indeed
amusing to see the democratic papers
rushing to the defense of p. d. Norton,
secretary of state, just as they did in
the Stockwell and Bickford cases. 1t
Is naturally expected that the demo-
cratic press, however, must exhaust
every effort to protect any democrat
who has succeeded in being elected to
Office through republican channels.
1t is equally amusing to read the de-
Tense that is advanced, purporting to
come from Mr.. Norton's office. though
of course Mr.. Norton was not found
there at the time 1t begins to look
as If it was difficult to set time when
he could be found there His defense
in the claim recently advanced that he
was partial in his allotment Of the
printing was met by the answer that
she was not there" we read of his
visits with prominent democrats In In
diana and other states, OF his trying
cases in Fargo, Grand Forks and other
towns of the state, of his being here
and there on his own personal bust
ness, and yet he has not force
enough to allot $40, 900 between the
counties. The argument that an Of
fetal is too busy to attend to the fu-
ties of his Office Is one OF the best
reasons why he should be replaced by
a more capable man. The $4,000.
which has been In his hands for about
four months has been badly needed
this fall for good roads work which
cannot be done now until next year.
It does seem as though the parting of

Portland Me-, Sept. 13.-Revised re-
turns on the question of the repeal OF
constitutional prohibition at / o'clock
this morning reduced the majority
against repeal to 295. The total vote
stood: For repeal 6O,216; against re-
peal, 6O,51l.
After day of almost constant sur
prises during which the result was
many times hanging in the balance it
appeared tonight on the face of Of
fetal returns from towns and city
clerks in all but 1876 towns and planta-
tions that prohibition had won in the
special election of yesterday by 1855
votes. Most Of the towns yet to be
heard from have been unofficially re-
ported with small majorities favoring
retention of the prohibitory amend
meut in the constitution and any
change in the vote of these places is
likely to help the prohibitionists.
In addition to the 465 majority
shown by the clerks returns, there are
