CHICAGO FLOUR.

The -four trade this week was some-

still larger sales in the immediate flu

book a little -four and orders as a
rule were for prompt shipment sug-
costing that stocks have become quite
depleted. Prices were reduced 100

something of an inducement to- job

flour. Deliveries keep up at a consid-
cradle rate and millers claim their
books are fast cleaning up with a
much smaller percentage of untitled
contracts on hand than customary at
a little better n inquiries from the
outside more numerous. Many buyers
evidently came to the conclusion that
prices are now on a conservative
basis, n the delay in the marketing
of the new crop made dealers a little
apprehensive. The eastern call was
better but sales were for moderate
quantities and the southern demand
better than usual. Southern millers

is still limited and little interest mani

closed with the market quite steady.

A WEEK IN WHEAT MARKETS.

Sept. and No. 8 at 31-2@4c higher

market feeling was strong on account
of unfavorable weather as interpreted
by the trade. Yet the lower grades
Of spot wheat figured quite favorably,
compared with No. l northern for
September contracts. Offerings of
new Nebraska were noted but without
resulting acceptance Conditions were
unaltered the following day excepting
that prices gained on the whole about
Ia e This was followed by re-
port of rust in the spring wheat OF
the northwest, which being the center
of present speculative interest In the
American markets. started a rise in
values on speculative account thai
was reflected in sales of spot wheat.
Later the rust scare subsidized but
as about all scares bob up for a time,
this did, with uneasiness and doubt in
control with an unsettled market
which closed weak and lower. Euro
pean and other foreign markets were
stirred by American reports of DAM
age and were yet strong sustaining
some of the late strength on this
side. Russian reports were less fav-
orable Of it's early harvest which also
encouraged prices on this side and in
the southern hemisphere. On Mon
day of his week the grim rust scare
had vanished and with it the late
market fright about it. The weather
was cool and bright. Demand con-
tinued good for milling but the de-
ferred futures were weak with moder-
ate trading at the lower prices and
wider difference between deferred
contracts and cash sales.

pertinent and thoroughly enjoyed.
Music before and after the speeches
was rendered by the Glenburn band.

TRADING DULL

Crop News.

New York, July 19.-Stocks mani

mild optimism. even though they
failed to stimulate securities.
OF the several factors named h
increasing demand for the output of
the steel mills at higher prices was
perhaps the most potent today. {,
Equipment orders are coming along
steadily, and this fact is beginning to
find reflection in the stocks of the

Copper was another strong feature.

The steel corporation. according to
reports. has made preparations to

Ing large sums to augment efficiency.
Various specialties were relatively
active and strong, but their move
ments exercised little or no influence
in the way Of outside support.
The one OF the foreign exchanges
offered scant comfort to the con-
structive side Of the account. Lon
don turned weak after a cheerful. op-
ening, with the now familiar ale OF
another drop in consols. The weekly

500 RAILROAD
BUILDS FENCE
This is Being Done to Keep
Stray Cattle off the
Track-Saves Money.

Minot: y. D.. July l9.--With a view
to eliminating h expenditure of ev-
rral thousand dollars annually for
horses, cattle n other livestock
which have straycd upon the tracks
and have been killed by passing trains,
the 500 line is erecting a cnc on each
side of the tracks along the right-Of-
way Tho fence has been completed
"n both sides of Minot and has reach
cd Il point between Carpio and Dom
nyhrook.
Here, however. the company has
met With some difficulty. Under a fed
cral statute when Il railroad extends
through public lands they are grant
cd a right-of-way 100 Get to each
side from the center of the track.
When thc 500 come through the Car
much of this land had already been
taken up by homcsteaders and they
lad to secure their r~ight-of-way di-
rcctly from the homcsteadcrs. This
was given freely but instead of secur-
ing 100 feet they only secured fifty
feet from the settlers.
When the o line started con-
.Structing their fence between these
Two stations they discovered that pub
lie roads had been laid out along the
r~leht-of-way by the county officials
several years ago. one reason for this
was because some of the farmers re-
fused to allow the roads to 40 across
their land and another reason was he
cause in a number of places the land
along the rigllt-of-Way was the only
place a road could be put through on
account of the hills. etc.
AS a result of these circumstance
in some places the fence is huilt in
side the public roads and in many
places it comes outside these roads.
In order to protec, the interests of
the taxpayers of Ward and Renville
lcv in the construction of these roads
matter has been referred to Mr. Dixie,
mercial club of carpio. through its
rrt sidcnt. &. * Chr."tianson, has had
charge of the matter in behalf Of the
farmers. while Dorr II. Carroll is
looking after the interests of the SUI
perViSors of Whit" Ash township. A
meeting was held Yesterday With
Supt. w. a. Cole of the 500 line. MI.
Carroll and MIR. Cole are preparing
statements today which will be sent
to the Minneapolis offices of the COM

According to the parties who are
involved in the difficulties tho railroad

matter and is seeking only To sccure

THE WHEAT POSITION,

Br0omhall's-While there has been
only a small volume OF business pass
ing, the market since we last wrote
has had fits of extreme f1rmness, with
greatly different from those of a week
ago. Liverpool futures closed yester-
day; compared with the previous
Mondays final rates. 3-8d lower for
July, but lid to 3-4d per GENITAL high
er for deferred delivery. Paris re-
covered some of he C temper
airy decline and closed yesterday is
dearer for early delivery and Cd per
or. for deferred months. Berlin is
or. lower for October. unchanged for
spot. Antwerp futures are a triHe
dearer for deferred delivey but a
trife lower for July. Argentine fu-
lures are a trife higher. United
States markets are fractionally lower
for distant delivery and 1c to Q 1-2c
lower for July. Winnipeg, after ris-
ing 1c to- 1 1-2c, fell sharply yesterday
! SAC for October on a break in the
hot and droughty weather. Today
the market in Liverpool is partially
S-8d down. the close being quiet. Con-
tinenta markets are about Sd per ar.
higher to Sd lower.
In spite Of a continuance Of very
heavy shipments (averaging 100000
quarters per week IN n the mar
ket shows a consid cradle degree of
frmness. FOL the consumptive de-
mand is on a large scale and reserves
of dc native wheat in Europe are not
heavy and in one important country
-France--are practically exhausted.
Only in the u. K. are port stocks at
all liberal. amounting to about $780,
600 quarters. but as the British crop
is usually gathered in a damp state,
sometimes not available until late in
the autumn and as the weekly re-
quirements now average $4,000 quar-
tiers per week. such a stock cannot
be fairly described as excessive: we
have witnessed a sensationally big
decrease in the. quantity on passage
to Europe this week "a decrease of
100000 qrs.) and should we have a
really wet harvest this summer. as
we had. for instance. in 1879. or ever
such as those Of the years 1881. 1888,
1891. 1892 or 1900. not to quote more
recent instances. the port stocks
would very probably run down in an
alarming manner and then the public
would nave reason t o be thankful to
importers for their foresight.

EXPECT FINE CROP
The Wheat Yield Will Be Unusually
GOOd.

Russell. N. D.. July 19.-The grain
fields in the vicinity Of Russell are
looking fine. n almost every farmer
is expecting a big crop. The wheat
looks exceptionally good and many
fields will average 20 to % bushels
to the acre, providing they escape the
hail storms. The late rains have
done wonders in bringing the crop
along. and there is plenty of mois-
ture in the ground now to insure a
good yield. OF course there are a
few acres here and there that have
blown considerably, but on the whole
the fields are yer with a splen-
did stand of all the different small
grains. Corn won't amount to much
as a crop this year as the weather
conditions haven't been favorable.
Farmers state that We will have one
of the biggest hay crops ever cut in
this vicinity. Take 1t all in all. we
believe We are due for a prosperous
year. Business along all lines Is
picking up already, and when the
crop is harvested everything will
swing Jack to the normal conditions
We have had in the past. The farm
ers in this section have had two crop
failures. and a good crop his fall
will put them on their feet again.
