consider the measure and kill it. That
plan worked out on the floor of the
house yesterday, when Representative
Peterson, of Towner county, made the
motion for reconsideration. 1t carried.
Then q motion to re-refer to the COM
mittee on railroads was made, and
the subsequent motion to lay on the
table was finally adopted by the
house.
Representative Hendrickson made q
fight for his measure. The league
leaders, however, opposed 1t on the
theory that 1t was not constitutional,
and that the lowering of the passen-
ger rates would augur against OBJ
tanning lower freight rates.
Representative O'Connor of Grand
Forks maintained that the people of
this state were entitled to just as low
rates as the people of Minnesota;
Representative Fraser cited constitu-
tional objections in support of his
vote to put the bill to s.eep; Repre-

hadn't been introduced in good faith,

Monthly Report Crop and
Business Conditions in Ninth
Federal Reserve District
Federal Re.
(sy John H. Rich. Fed eraI Reserve Asent.)

In some respects January was a
month of surprises. The usual lull in
business after the holidays was less
pronounced than in former years, and
January retail trade was satisfactory,
both in the cities and at country
points. The usual falling off Of bank
deposits and loans and discounts was
less marked than usual and the demand,
although rates continued low and
showed but little change, was salts
factory. Over the district as a whole,
there is evidence of substantial pros
perity. The poor crops have evidently
had little effect in impairing the pur-
chasing power of the farmers. and
there has been continued and notice
able disposition to make investments
in the kind of permanent farm i'm
provements that contribute to produc-
ton and to better farm methods. From
all parts Of the district. reports show
that since the last crop was out of
the way, farmers have been putting
up dairy barns, silos and hog houses,
and have been Buying freely of good
stock. This was especially noticeable
in December and January in eastern
Montana, where the war demand has
taken thousands of head of horses,
and where farmers have been buying
freely of first class breeding stock
from the breeding farms of southern
Minnesota. Iowa and Illinois. 1t is
predicted that an indirect result of
the war will be a very substantial i'm
provement in Montana breeds, result
ing from the ability of stockmen to
clean up their old stock. and employ
the proceeds in reorganizing their
business on better basis. Much the
same process is in progress with re-
spect to cattle, and a large amount Of
good breeding stock has moved during
recent weeks into the Dakotas and
Montana.

Whatever unfavorable influences may
come from the present serious inter-
national situation can hardly affect, to
any great degree, the substantial
prosperity of this district. The next
crop will probably go into the ground
under very favorable conditions.
There has been excellent preparation
of the soil. and while there is danger
Of heavy spring floods. the district as
whole has the promise Of good mois-

would vote aye. Hamilton and other
Nonpartisan league senators explained
they did not believe in levying q direct
tax, as provided in the amendments,
for these utilities; that they believed
the state had the same right to bond
as had a municipal corporation, and
that the amendments did not wholly
carry out the desires of the people.
Hamilton opposed the packing plant
amendment for the further reason that
the executive committee of the Amer
lean Society of Equity in checking up
last evening found more than $400,0
already subscribed for the erection of
the cooperative packing plant at
Fargo, on which work will begin as
soon as weather permits. and he did
not approve of the states undertaking
a counter proposition at this time.

Lieutenant Governor Kraabel was
called upon to vote for the first time
this season when he decided "a to "a
tie on the question Of re-referring
Senator Mostad's full crew bill to the
committee on railroads. The lieutenant
governor voted with the nays, and
Mostad's motion that the bill be made
a special order for Thursday then
carried.
Representative O'Connor's bill pro-
hibiting injunctions in labor disputes
met its fate in the senate judiciary
committee.
state Auditor Kositzky is still in
funds. He has $4,000 legislative pay
roll to meet Saturday, and he will be
able to do so, even though he has just
paid capital employees their monthly

state hasn't the cash. Probably not
more than $4,000 is in salary vouchers.

that they are exercising prudence.
Individuals are buying freely, but not
recklessly. Collections are good. Saw
ings bank figures indicate that large
section of the public is exercising COM
mendable thrift.
Sudden unfavorabIe developments
may create lower price levels for farm
products, but in that case, are almost
certain to bring recessions in the pres
ent extremely high prices of all the
things that enter into the cost of liv-
ing, and it is therefore evident that
with a satisfactory crop year, agri-
cultural prosperity wifi continue, al
though there may not be the heavy
flow of money into the hands Of the
farmers that has continued for more
than year.
January was a heavy month at the
South st. Paul stock market. Cattle
receipts amounted to 52,S55 head as
against S7,21s q year ago; receipts of
calves were 1851 as against $3.50;
and sheep 1882 as against 6O,572 a
year ago. The figures show a decrease
of 146,9S9 in receipts Of hogs, but the
comparison is with January a year
ago when hogs in particular, were
moving very rapidly and freely to
market on account of the soft corn
situation. Prices continue high.
Continued cold throughout the
month, and several very heavy storms,
have interrupted and interfered with
transportation, and made deliveries
of incoming products uncertain, and
have, as well, seriously interfered
with shipments Of fuel, produce, dairy
products and merchandise.
The car shortage is still severe, and
has cut down flour production in Min
neapolis to a point where only about
1914 out Of rs Minneapolis mills were
in operation at the end of the month
AS against production of 199,53O
barrels year ago, SO outside mills
showed for the closing week of the
month an output Of only 43,450 bar
relS.
In spite Of heavy snow. bad roads,
and interruptions to train service
Minneapolis and Duluth wheat receipts
have been fairly satisfactory. Crop
year receipts to the end Of the month
were approximately 100000 bushels,
or considerably le-~ than half the re-
ceipts at the same ..3te year ago,
due to the short crop.
On the basis of the closing prices
for the month, the average price to
the farmers at country points was
$1.66 for No. ! northern wheat; $1.61
for No. 2, and $1.35 for light weight.
