The Presbyterians of Fargo are to
have the opportunity Of hearing one
OF the most eloquent speakers among
the ministers of that denomination to-
night at the Presbyterian church at 8
O'Clock. DR.. Breeze is connected with
the board of home missions and his
territory is the whole United States
and the Islands Of Cuba and Porto
Rico.
His special work is among the immi-
grants n he is. well fitted for it as
he landed in New York from Wales
when a young man with a ticket for
one of our large universities and $50
in cash. He was detained by the i'm
migration authorities, as immigrants
are not allowed to land with so small
an amount Of money. When asked how
he expected to get to Madison, Wis,
and get through college, he replied,
You u me loose and ! will show
you"
They finally compiled with his re-
quest, he worked his way through col
lege, and for years has been a minister
in the Presbyterian church. He is
known as the live wire in Wisconsin,
and it Is. expected that every member
of the church and congregation will be
out to hear him tonight.

EVENING Grain Letter-

chicago, Oct. 15.-Wheat has reach
ed new low levels today, largely in
sympathy with the weakness in coarse
grains and the weak foreign situation.
Gables lower and more favorable
weather in India and Australia Great
ed considerable hearish sentiment and
pressure was in evidence with losses
for the day of about 3-4c. There were
good export sales Of Manitobas yes
terday late and some additional work
ings today. Consumptive demand
throughout the country appears to be
exceptionally good and later on this
Will tell on wheat values. For the pres
ent tight money the world over is
greatly restricting the buying power
and the continued enforced nlarketings
by Canada and Russia are keeping for
elgn markets on the down grade. We
again reiterate our previous statement
that wheat has an intrinsic value, that
it is worth more money than it is
bringing today and we expect a good
reaction in the worlds market.
Corn: Continued commission house
liquidation and a growing belief that
some influential longs have been SELL
ing under cover caused further losses
in corn Cash situation showed a de-
clded Improvement and the break slim
ulated eastern buying with about 300
600 bushels sold for shipment. There
were two cars new corn in today's re-
ceipts. both grading samples contain
ing about 5 per cent of moisture and
rather slow of sale on that account.
There is no doubt but that bearish
sentiment is in the ascendency, but we
would be afraid to sell corn after so
extensive a decline and believe prices
are reaching levels which are debat-
able.
Oats; The weakest thing on the list.
Ihere was general liquidation early
winch resulted in a severe decline, on
which shorts accepted profits and a
moderate rally followed. The break
in cash markets did not stimulate as
much business as anticipated. We see
little good in futures.

COMMERCIAL CLUB BOOSTS
CANNING ENTERPRISE

There was a goodly attendance OF
members of the Moorhead Commercial
club at the meeting held last night.
President Mackall presided and two of
the principal matters taken from Sec
rotary Wright's desk for discussion
were the establishment of a proposed
canning factory in MoOrhead for the
canning Of peas and corn, and the
forming of the Fargo-Moorhead Base
ball league.
After a very thorough discussion of
the proposition presented to the direc-
tors of the club a few days ago by Mr..
Brent, representing the Hastings In
dustrial Co. of Chicago. owners Of sew
eral plants, and an enthusiastic report
made by George E. Freeberg, grocer,
who recently made a personal inves-
t1gation Of two or three of the compa-
ny's plants, a resolution by Atty. e. e.
Sharp was presented to the club and
adopted without a dissenting vote of
the nearly fifty members present. The
tenor of the resolution was that it is
the desire of the club that a factory be
established in Moorhead according. to
the proposition made to the business
men of Moorhead and farmers Of Clay
county. Representatives of the club
will accompany Mr.. Brent in the work
to be done necessary to finance the
enterprise n supply h farmers with
the details of what will be required of
them in the growing of peas and corn
which the factory will require. The
building n plant will cost about
$4,000 the market for the output
will be the whole world.
Next, the baseball proposition was
taken up and on this R. w. Richards
made a stirring address in support of
the proposed league conditioned that
at least o%ne-third Of the weekday
games be played on the Moorhead field
which is to be supplied by this city in
addition to q subscription of $1,000
which will be added to one of $4,000 to
be guaranteed by Fargo. The presi-
dent Of the club appointed w. E. Hunt.
John Lamb and DR., AWty a committee
to take charge of the matter and carry
out the conditions imposed by the
club.

Grain Opinions,

Walter Fitch: Do not care to press
short side Of wheat at this level.
Finley, Darrell & Co: Believe de-
cided reaction should be experienced
in wheat.
Clement Curtis: Supplies Of all
grains are very large and the market
will not rally except on occasion of
short covering.
Lamson Bros: It seems unlikely
that wheat will show much rallying
power.
Logan & Bryan: Temporary rallies
are to be expected in wheat, but until
there is a change of conditions pre-
fer the selling side of the market.
Bartlett Frazier Co.: The wheat
market seems to be in the slough of
despond with the idea Of lower prices
so generally prevalent as to make us
skeptical Of the probability of such an
outcome.
a q Leland: We believe sales
OF wheat advisable on rallies.
