GRAIN RECEIPT RECORD.
1000, 900 Bushels Day in Minneapo
lis Since Sept. 1.

Minneapolis. The month that
closed made new commercial history
for Minneapolis, for in the fifty-one
business days since the crop year
opened Sept. /, sustained movement
of unprecedented volume held up
grain receipts to 100000 bushels a
day, and total receipts up to and in
Guiding today were 51,938,510 bush
els. No such continued heavy re-
ceipts were ever recorded here nor
was 100000 bushels of the North
west crop ever handled before in the
first sixty days after Sept. /.
Bank clearings in October totaled
S147,711,5S2.74, the second largest
months results in the history Of the
city. A year ago in the crop year pc
riod, ending Oct. 81, the grain re-
ceipts were 41,962,260 bushels. The
increase this year is 9,976,250 bush
els. A year ago in October, the bank
clearings were s122,274,35S75. The
increase this year was $25, 437, 223.99
Conspicuous gains in grain receipts
were: Oats, 4,4S1, 900 bushels, com.
pared with $4,000; rye, 2,0S0,0OO
bushels, compared with 10000;
wheat, 33,450,330 bushels, compared
with 27,661,6 $40. There were $4,000
bushels of barley received, 2,265.7SO

els of corn.
The Minneapolis mills made 444,76C
barrels of flour in the week ending

precincts gave Taft 1851; Wilson,
2O,S26; Roosevelt. 2O,314. These pre-
cincts were outside of Minneapolis and
st: Paul. 152 precincts outside of
Minneapolis and st. Paul gave Eber-
hart 1896, Ringdal, 9,43S; Collins,
1866.
The strength which President Taft
developed shows conclusively what
might have ben done for the presi-
dent had the national committee COM
menced its fight earlier.
The revival of Taft sentiment came
late, but it was marked all along the
line. Republicans voted freely for
Woodrow Wilson and In Minnesota. as
in other states, turned the tide to
the Democratic candidate through lack
of confidence In the chance of their
own candidate to win.
On of the most vigorous fights for
the president was made in Hennepin
county. In this county, Wilson and
Taft ran close, showing the results of
the fight put up by Taft's organiza.
ton under the direction of F. H. Car
penter. The failure of Roosevelt TO
negotiate more than third place shows
in marked contrast to what happened
here during the primaries.
