places.
"Plans were laid for a systematic

day, "of all pledges. during the next

another issue of stamps of the same

FARGO GRAIN MARKET
WEEKLY GRAIN SUMMARY,

Chicago, Oct. 36.---Swift Judgment
by a majority OF traders that the lat
est Berlin note to President Wilson
was insufficient, operated as the chief
factor this week in a. sharp advance
of the price OF corn. The market this
morning, as compared with a. week
ago, showed gains of 5 q to SIC a
bushel Oats, too, were up 4 "a to 4Bc
and provisions 10 to S1.85.
Although at first corn prices broke
under selling pressure due to bearish
versions of the German reply, the
market began to ascend as soon as the
truth regarding the text commenced
to be apparent. Then a rush Of buy
ing set in which swept values upward
and discounted the general belief that
the document would be ufllcially de-
clared inadequate. Afterward some
thing of q reaction took place coinci-
dent with reports that the allies had
agreed to armistice terms and as 9
result OF gossip that inportations OF
corn from Argentina were conten--
plated. Assertions, however, that ths
United States government would al
low much higher prices in contracts
in packing house products tended yes
terday TO stimulate a fresh advance
in corn.
Separate strength Of oats was based
on bullish estimates OF export needs:
Provisions made notable upward
swing on forecasts OF a lift Tor the
minimum value on hogs.

Seed Corn 1000
Bushels Short

Corn growers are urged to save
every ear OF seed corn possible as the
heavy frost early in September caught
most of the corn in the northern part
OF the state before it had matured IL
is estimated that these frosts reduced
the production Of hard corn fully one
ham in the Red river valley and the
northern half Of North Dakota. There
is shortage OF seed in other states
due to dry weather and the central
and southern sections of Minnesota
are already looked upon as sources to
supply the deficiency.
In Clay county alone there is re-
ported shortage OF over 1000 bushels
for the next two years planting. This
year 1,070 growers raised 14,9S4 acres
of corn In Clay county. or these only
20 have reported to County Agent
0'Banion on seed saved, aggregating
760 bushels. On the basis Of a bushel
planting six acres, the tWo-year sup
ply needed is 5000 bushels and less
than one-fifth has been reported
saved by the growers of the county.

Paris view of Fiahtina.

Par9S, Oct. 26.--The battle has
famed up again and. heavy fighting
is now under way from Valenciennes
to the Meuse. The Germans are
fighting well everywhere but the al
lies continue to make substantial
headway in the task OF driving back
the enemy to the Meuse line.
Although the recent fighting has
been marked by no sensational de-
Velopment it has accumulative effect,
which apart from the ground gained,
adds considerably to the wastage of
men and material with which the
Germans must reckon. In the last
four days the enemy has lost well up
toward $4,000 prisoners and 20 gums.
His total losses of the effectiyes cam
not have been less than $4,000.
Strictly speaking there are three
large battles in progress, all Of which
are being conducted with equal sue
cess for the allies. The first is be-
ing carried on by the British third
and fourth armies which, pushing on
toward Mons, have reached the VAL
enciennes- -Hirson double track rail-
road. The second is the attack of
General Mangin north and east of
Laon, which has resulted in a gain
on front OF eight miles, for dis
tance Of two miles.
