WHEAT.

The Minneapolis Tribune had the
following editorial on the international
wheat situation:
"A modification Of the very strong in
ternational wheat situation has caused
further depression in the market. The

COST OF DISTRIBUTION.

The people of Fargo are interested
in a central market proposition. The
American Artisan n Hardware Rec
ord recently had the following editorial
that shows the great cost of distribu-
tion. of food products-some of which
could be prevented by a central mar
ket:
Recently a committee was appointed
by the New York state legislature to
investigate the cost of distribution and
in the report given out an appalling set
of figures is presented The cost OF
handling included in the figures does
not include the transportation charges
from the various points, near and far,
whence they are brought, but simply
covers the cost between III railroad
terminals where food products enter,
and the kitchens where they are pre-
pared for the tables, so that the total
cost of handling seems ~stupendous.
1t is a fact worth noting, however,
that the investigation does not blame
the retailer nor even the middle men
for the condition of affairs, but states
that the facilities for distribution are
by no means adequate and consequent
IN, the cost Is great. The consumer
therefore is obliged to foot the bill,
The committee recommends a depart
ment of markets for every city to have
sanitary and economic charge of the
total food supply. This would include
accurate price lists Of the wholesale
and retail markets. Its business should
he to supervise. also systematlze auc
tions fixed by. the city, where prices
would be regulated by supply and de-
mandl and listed, as are stock prices;
thence the next and sole step would
be the retail distributing Centers.
If this plan together with certain
minor changes be carried out. 1t would
mean a revolution in modern methods
of conducting business. 1t is proba-
Bile, however, that if it is instituted at
all, it will be conducted along expert
mental lines which will be sufficient to
demonstrate its efficiency or failure.

PLEADS FOR DELAY
GREAT BRITAIN's REQUEST TO
HALT CANAL BILL Is RE-
FUSED BY UNITED STATES.
CLAIMS VIOLATION OF TREATY
Provisions FaVoring American Coast
wise Vessels and Barring Railroad
Owned Ships Result In Complaint
to State Department.

Washington, July 12.-Great Brit
ain has requested that the enactment
of the Panama canal administration
bill be held in allegiance until Mitch
ell Innes, the British charge, can pre-
sent a note in behalf of his govern
ment. This move confronts congress
and the state department with an ex-
traordinary situation, but is likely to
have little effect in delaying the pas
sage Of the canal bill, according to
leading senators.
The request for delay has been COM
municated to the senate interoceanic
canals. committee. 1t came from the
summer embassy at Kineo, Me-, and
was sent by Mr.. lines, acting for Am
bassador Bryce, who is in New Zea-
land.
While the reasons for the request
are not stated in the charges note,
there is no doubt that the British gov
eminent is concerned In the clause to
grant free passage through the canal
to American vessels in coastwise
trade, and that relating to the pas
sage of railroad-owned ships. The
Canadian railways are deeply concern
ed in both, and it is thought that
some of the representations will be
made In their behalf.
The canal bill is now in the senate
committee. with the prospect Of being
reported soon, and will then go to con-
ference with the house. Congressman
at both ends of the capitol feel that
If any Panama legislation is to be had
it must be at this session Of congress.
The exigencies which have arisen by
the necessary reductions Of the work
ing force as the canal approaches COM
pletion, make legislation necessary If
a permanent organization is to be set
up in the canal zone to the best ad-
vantage. 1t was said her that men,
bers Of both houses were not agree
able to much delay now.
One Of the provisions in the bill as
It now stands would MAKE it impos-
sible for Canadian railroad ships to
pass through the canal If they en-
gagged in coastwise trade. Then the
question of free tolls to certain
classes Of American ships involves the
old question Of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
1t is believed that the British gov
ernment will hold that ships of all
nations must be on an equal basis.
1t seems certain that any represen-
tations the British government may
make will be supported by Germany
and France and perhaps other Euro
pean powers. The matter Of moment
ia how far those powers may go to
sustain a protest against the proposed
control Of the Panama canal by the
United States.

The end of the convention was, how
ever, astonishingly harmonious consid'
ering the acrimonious debates that

was largely due to the fact that the

the hearts Of the delegates as an hon,
orary position only and also that a
forfeit of $500 would accrue IL the con-
vention went over another day.
The first man to take the rostrum
and place a candidate before the dele.
