ton Of Commerce feel that the matter
Of subscribing to the support of any
of these non-secular organizations is
a matter for the individual to decide,
and the Association should not be used
as shield to keep from contributing.
1t puts the Association Gin bad" to
say the least.
The Association does try to protect
the businessman to the limit, but it
cannot step in on matters that have
no bearing upon the commercial life of
the city. Beggars, who travel about
the country, have short shift in Minot,
and any outside charity secures small
support from our merchants. The
agents of these charities have hard
time to secure the consent of the As
ISOLATION of Commerce to ask our peo-
pie to subscribe to their favorits char
ity, no matter how good it may seem.
Surely this is all the protection that
the membership of the Association
could ask.

There seems to be an erroneous i'm

businessmen of Minot in regards to
the functions of the Minot Association
of Commerce. This was brought to
light during the past week in connec-

on by the Y. w. c. A. people to raise
funds for the ensuing year. The As
ISOLATION of Commerce has nothing
whatever to do with the upkeep Of re-

If the Association would undertake to

duty bound to finance other religious
or semi-religious organizations. The

Wheat Takes Fall
~ Clear to Bottom

Grain prices on the Omaha market
as elsewhere, continued to. decline
wheat being the heaviest loser, il
dropping off ! to'3 cents. And in this
connection, dealers generally assert
that the bottom has not been reached
They say that with the elevators Of
the country filled to bursting, the for.
eign demand practically cut off and
the prospects favorable for the great.
est wheat crop the country has ever
raised, there can be but little hope for
higher prices in the near future.
With fifty-nine cars of wheat re.
ceived, the sales were made at Sc
and IS cents for cash and the July op.
ton selling but little above ST per
bushel For July this was the lowest
price touched since the option became
trading proposition last fall.
Corn lost, but not so much as
wheat. The prices were one-half ia
cent and half off, selling at 66 and
73H cents per bushel. The receipts
were thirty-seven car loads.
Oats were down one-fourth to one.
half cent, selling at 3sH and 36H
cents per bushel. Receipts were six
teen car loads.
Durum wheat that a year ago now
was selling around $150 per bushel,
has dropped down around 20 cents,
due to the fact that the embargo
shipments on account of the war has
practically cut out all export ship
ments and the home demand is not
sufficient to use up the supply.
