made. For it prices are higher with

The general hay markets of the

have settled with the smaller demand
and with the advent of a new crop.
Receipts in the various markets are
only about the normal for this par

have been high and large and small

only enough to carry them along for

prices Notwithstanding the severe
drop already taken place. In all mar

low grade supply for which the de-

old, supplemented by low grade Of

Consumers are looking for further
break on the upper grade as receipts

chances for Devils Lake securing a

straining the Devils Lake World from
publishing the ordinance granting L.
r. Corson a franchise for the estab-
lishment of the new plant.
The publication of the franchise
was the final step toward completing
the deal which has been hanging fire
ties charged against the city council
in the passage of the ordinance. Upon
an opinion of Judge Young of Far

The injunctional order issued Sat-

years for the city and citizens to over
