grinding out old orders which take
care of much of the present movement
from the country.
The commercial lull has, apparently,
failed so far to have a positive de-
pressing effect on prices because there
is stin much wheat contracted for,
either for milling or export require
ments, that is a visible but not "a
substantial weight on the market, be-
ing practically disposed of but wait
ing to be ground into -four or shipped
abroad. The actual surplus which Is
being carried in the pit by speculative
interests is. undoubtedly. very much
smaller that the statistics would i'm
ply for this reason. There is little, If
any, evidence of imitation in the pit ;
the market is closely adjusted to a
sound commercial basis, although
domestic prices have not followed the
extreme decline on quotations abroad
as result of the new crop offerings
from south of the equator.
In considering the wheat situation
the commercial outlook Is of prime
Importance, because there is still a
plentiful supply of wheat available in
this country for consumption. The
possible duration of the present limit
ed demand must prove the chief inter-
est in the market. If the flour trade
has anticipated it's wants for the sea-
son and Europe is able to buy its sup
plies from other countries more ad-
Vantageously than at our seaboard,
the statistical position of domestic
wheat would be very weak.
The heavy flour buying in this Coun-
try, however, was largely by bankers,
instead of tobbers, and at a profitable
price which has not tended to mini
mize consumption and invites the
maintenance of liberal stocks against
the approaching period of new crop
uncertainty. In the export field, the
increased movement from Argentina
has not, so far brought the total
worlds shipments of wheat to Broom
halls estimated requirements of the
importers, as there has been a falling
off in the contributions from North
America. Unless the needs of Europe
nave been over calculated, of which
there is no present indication, a re-
VivaI in the foreign demand for our
wheat is not at all improbable.
The international as well as the
domestic wheat situation is, at the
present time. more suggestive of a
temporary commercial Iull rather than
prolonged dullness based on a pre-
ponderate excess of supplies, in sight
and prospective, over the needs of
consumers.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

One innovation by the postoffice de-
partment which has proven a success
is the postal savings bank. So we'll
has it worked in this country during
the few months il has been in opera
tion that the system is t. he extended
to Fcrto Rico.
In spite of the presence of strong
financial institutions in every city and
town. there are still many people who
refuse to entrust their money to
bank, lest the depository should fail
and their earnings be lost. The
postal savings bank deposits are Of
course guaranteed by the general
government, making them absolutely
secure. It is this feature which ap-
peals to the more timorous holders of
cash and has drawn on stockings,
mattresses, chimney corners, teaket-
ties, and other hiding places.
Every now and then a miser dies
whose cash is reckoned in the thou
sands, hidden about his cabin or
thieves get wind of the treasure and
carry away the savings Of a lifetime
These cases which come to the sur
face give an idea of the number Of
people who are afraid to let loose their
money unless insured by the govern
ment.
Another class of depositors in the
postal banks is the foreigner. who has
been accustomed to sending his money
home by International money order.
1t is estimated that $12,000,000 have
been deposited by foreigners-money
which would otherwise in large part
have been sent out of this country
The limit for a single depositOr is
$500. which has been responsible for
turning away large sums in the ag-
gregate. The government pays per
cent interest, and is in turn paid 21s
per cent by the national banks used
as repositories. BY this means the
money finally gets to the banks, the
depositor looking to Uncle Sam, and
the government holding bonds owned
by the banks largely in excess of the
amount of the deposit.
Both in the establishment of the
postal savings bank and the parcel
post, this country has been behind the
nations Of Europe. but the success
promised for both reiterates the truth
Of the old saw that "it is better late
than never"

THE MIRACLE IN CHINA.

The miracle in the Chinese revolu-
ton was brought home vividly to a
big Fargo audience last evening by DR..
King, who was an eye witness of the
revolution. Probably few Americans
realize just how great a miracle has
been wrought in that country.
The marvel of it is that such tre-
mendous upheaval in government was
brought about so suddenly and yet so
completely and with such little blood
shed. DR.. King, who was on his way
to China before the revolution was
heard Of and who entered the country
while the revolution was on and stay
ed until it was over. gives DR.. Sun Yat
Sen, credit for the overthrow
Sun Vat Sen perfected an organiza-
tion which honeycombed China with
the reform idea, and yet so marvellous
and so perfect was the organization
that even the best Informed men liv-
ing in China did not dream OF such a
thing as a general revolution. until it
broke.
Perhaps the most significant thing
about the Chinese situation is the
changed attitude toward foreigners. In
the country where twelve years ago
millions of Chinese rose up in the
dreadful Boxer movement to drive the
foreign devils" from the land, there
is today nothing but respect and ad-
miration for the foreigners. During
the entire revolution not a single for
eigner was killed except by accident
and not a single native christian lost
his life.
The new China is looking toward
America as its best friend and DR..
King gave vivid description of the
opportunity that America has because
Of this friendly feeling. Under the
new government, America is taken as
the guide and model During the revo-
luton pictures of Lincoln and Wash
ington were posted everywhere and the
leaders are trying to model their ac-
tions on the lives OF those great Amer
leans.
The opportunity that is open to
America is along every line. In re-
ligton. education and the commercial
world this country is being received
with open arms by the Chinese people.

THERE WAS NO
OPPOSITION
NO OPPOSITION TO CON-
STRUGTION COURT
HOUSE at STANLEY.

Stanley, N. D., July 23.-Af-
! ter the return from Bismarck
of Senator Linde and George
Wilson, who were sent there
to negotiate for the sale of the
court house bonds, the county
commissioners have taken steps
looking towards the final con-
summation Of the sale of the
court house bonds, as we'll as
the sale Of funding bonds to
the state. A resolution was
passed by the commissioners
advertising for bids for the
sale of the court house bonds
in conformity with law, with
the understanding that the
state will: submit a bid for
their purchase at four per cent
interest.
1t has developed now that
no opposition to the construc-
tion of the court house, or to
the sale @of the court house
bonds was. ever made by any,
lone in Stanley, and while ac-
|cusations have been made, pos
tive proof shows that such
is not the: case. The commit
tee sent to Bismarck encount-
cred no trouble whatsoever in
disposing Of the court house
bonds to the state, and it is
immaterial at this time to go
into the matter of who, is to
blame for the delay in the sale
|of the bonds.
It is apparent that the senti-
ment in Stanley is for the con-
struction of the. court house
just as soon as possible is
entirely, unanimous and from
present indications the, prelim-
mary steps for the comm me1Ice-
ment Of tft construction Of
the court house will be taken
as quick as possible, and be-
fore long the actual construc-
ton will be commenced. The
contract will be let some time
in August and building opera
tions will be started Immediate

COMMISSION PLAN
MEETS DEFEAT
LOST OUT IN VALLEY CITY
FOR SECOND TIME BY
BIG MAJORITY.

Valley City, N. D., July l8'
Commission form of govern
ment lost out here for the Sec
Fond time yesterday by a vote
of 315 to 108. In some OF
the wards the vote for the
new form of government was
exceedingly light.
The rejection of the commits
sion form was the result of
the campaigning of the admin.
istration, which felt that its
Eagitation at this time was an
effort to discredit the munich
pal administration.
The mayor and councilmen
all favor commission form, it
is believed, but desired that
the electiin be postponed until
next spring.
