Liverpool, April 10.-The market

in continental markets and the fact
that @late offers were Cd higher with
nervousness over the approaching
American government report. On
Wednesday the market was 4 to II

outside speculative support, especially
in the distant months on the bullish
construction placed upon the bureau
report. Following the opening, there
was a further advance of Il to y
with July leading. Plate and Argen-
tine offers were firmer and there Is
a good demand from the continent
with Paris opening firm. There were
fair cargo sales last night after the
American prices We're received and
good bidding for Pacific coast wheat
with Antwerp taking rather freely.
At 1870 D. m. the market was strong.

Shorts covered on the irmer Plate Of

lows: That st. Cloud may get the

Big CRY FOR
FARM LABORERS

Valley City Times Record: With
prospects for n OF the best crops
IN It's history, North Dakota today
races n of the worst shortages for
help In the spring farm work that has
ever been experienced in the state.
From Fargo to Bismarck, from Mi
not and Devils Lake to Glendale and
a come a call for farm Ia
borers' and tn re is apparently no
prospect of supplying any but a very
percentage of the demand.
In the immediate vicinity of Valley
City there have been calls for more
than 100 men. The Nestor farm, three
miles from Valley City, needs from
ten to fifteen more men than it now
has to carry on spring work, and is
unable to obtain one. Other large
farms need help and the country has
been secured, but without c
Discussing the situation today Otto
zetterburg, secretary of the CONNER
cial club and a business man and old
resident OF the county, ascribed the
shortage due to two short crops
which North Dakota has experienced
"Ahi Tie SCdSOI Oh lSlU,
For two years Ia Mr.. letter
burg, North Dakota has been flood
ed with farm hands, who came here
! n h spring and fall from all parts
OF ~ northwest, including the cities
and in both years hundreds have been
turned away without work or have
had to take employment at a very
low wage. This years condition Is
entirely different. There is a feel
ing OF confidence among the farmers
and business men Of North Dakota
and there win be more extensive
seeding and farm operations generally
than ever before. But this will BIZ
impossible unless help can be secur.

o OF ~coLoNIsTs.

Two thousand, three hundred and
forty-four cars of immigrant goods,
representing the personal effects of
11,720 c~olonists, were handled through
the twin city transfer during March
by the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cifc, Milwaukee and ST. Paul and the
500 Line.
These people were ticketed for west.
ern Minnesota, North and South Dako-
ia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washing
ton and western Canada. The first
four days of April showed a greater
average per day in the people still
moving than any day during March.
The reduced passenger and freight
rates under which the colonists are
moving continue until April Is, and
officials of the railroads expect almost
as many people to pass thorugh st,
Paul and Minneapolis during the next
two weeks as during the month OF
March.
The moveables are coming from all
sections of the United States. 1t is a
significant thing that the trains OF
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific railroads which start from st
Paul show the greatest increase in
the number of colonists carried. The
trains from Chicago do not show such
an increase. This indicates that peo-
pie from the middle west are the ones
who are moving and not the "down
casters
The movement Of ~colonists is said
by railroad officials to be greater thar
ever this year due to the northwestern
states obtaining publicity throughout
the country and particularly to the
efforts being made by these states tc
show the farmers of the middle west
just exactly what the American
northwest can produce.
At the offices Of the Northwest De-
velopment league it is said that there
are more commercial club and busi-
ness organizations doing active and in
telligent work to secure settlers thar
ever before. 1t is said that more thar
5000 cars OF immigrant goods will *
into the American northwest durina
1912. IF any state is not securing its
share it is the fault of the commercial
organizations Of that state. we car
increase the aggregate number 81
people going into northwest and tn,
states must work to increase the per.
centage of the immigrants which thes
are receiving" was the comment of ar
officer OF the development leageu.

Drove East and North.

over 100 miles were travelled, in an
auto ~yesteday, by George e. Perley
covering the eastern and northern part
of Clay county and he touched the
Becker county line driving thence to
Ulen, FELTON, and Georgetown. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Perley and her
sister, Mrs. Amsden. Mr.. Perley said,
in every direction he found the land
in the finest of condition for spring
work and seeding. Generally dragging
was in progress and in some fields seed
drills were at work, and he saw that
some fields had not been touched. One
thing Mr.. Perley emphasized was the
perfect condition of the roads for auto
ing and that fact made the journey
a most delightful one.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, April 10.-Wheat: the
market opened strong and so continued
throughout the session. There was
decided increase in the volume Of
trade, with new buying based on the
low condition of yesterdays report
and further advices of deterioration
particularly from the soft winter
wheat states. The recent growing
weather has not brought about any
betterment in the reports from these
sections and the probability Of a large
abandonment of acreage caused a de-
cidedly speculative bullish feeling.
Further crop damage news should
have a tendency to stimulate the cash
inquiry and overcome, to some extent
the weight of the cash property. 1t
looks to us as if prices were bound
toward a higher level, and we con-
slider the long side by far the safer
one. Chas. E, Lewis & CO.

of the auto owners at Fergus Falls.
Breckenridge, Ergo, Moorhead, Sank
Center and other points.
The, Minneapolis club already has
signs from that city to Anoka, and
say they will continue the work to
Becker, and if the st. Cloud club will
place the signs from Becker to st.
Cloud the Minneapolis club will pay
$1.50 towards the cost Of each sign,
bearing the word Minneapolis" and
they will put "St. Cloud" on each sign
they erect at the same rate. The sign
put out by the Minneapolis club costs
$3.50 each, has an iron post and is set
in concrete, and is a very handsome
sign. The Alexandria sign is less pre-
tentious, and cost $1.65 each. h Al
exandria club has already placed the
signs from Evansville to Osakis, and
will reach Sank Center early this
spring.
st. Cloud hopes, with the assistance
of the auto owners up the line, to have
the signs placed from that city to
Sank Center. and it is believed the
Fergus Falls, Breckenridge and Fargo
clubs will be enthusiastic to have
signs erected clear to the North Da-
kota line.
