NORWAY WANTS
TO BUY IN N. D.
Purchasing Department of Govern
ment Ready to Deal With State for
Grain and Flour.

Bismarck, N. D.-The purchasing
department of the Norwegian govern
ment which buys all grain imported
to Norway, is now in direct touch
with the government of North Dako-
ta, and will be ready to buy grain
and flour from the state elevator at
Grand Forks as soon as it is COM
pleted.
The Industrial Commission some
time ago received a letter from the
Norwegian embassy at Washington,
inQuiring if it were true that the state
of North Dakota was selling grain
for it's farmers direct to legitimate
buyers, and thereby eliminating the
brokerage and commission" OF I'M
necessary lnlddlemen.
In answering the embassy, Secre-
ary Paddock Of the Industrial Com
mission, explained that the state
mill and elevator association would be
re adv to do business as soon as the
mill and elevator at Grand Forks was
completed.
The embassy referred the Industrial
Commissions letter to the firm OF
Halle & Peterson, Christiania, who
are connected with the governments
sole buying organization for grain
imports. The firm has now written
reply to a recent letter of Secretary
Paddock, showing that a great mar
ket is Immediately available fol
North Dakota grain at live prices
provided the people vote down the
initiated laws.

Where Farmers Organiza-
tons Really Clasped Hands

Two farmer organizations of Iowa,
the Farmers Union and the Ameri-
can Society Of Equity fratrnized at
the state convention Of the latter or
ganization in Waterloo, Iowa, Octo-
Der 4 and S. The executive commit
tee of the Farmers Union, which has
$4,000 members in that state, was the
guest Of the Equity society for two
days, and they jointly laid plans for
cooperative livestock marketing on the
Chicago market, through the Equity
COOPERATIVE Exchange.
Unoficially discussion was also had
as to the feasibility of the two orga-
nizations uniting into one in Iowa,
but this was not pushed by either
side, both agreeing that they enter
tain the friendliest Of feelings toward
each other and desire cooperation. Eff
forts of the Iowa Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton to usurp both organizations
and seize the reins of farmer leader
ship in that state, were scored by
various speakers. Milo Reno, the
new president of the Iowa Farmers
Union was recently elected in hot
campaign in which the former resi-
dent was charged with being unduly
devoted to the Farm Bureau. Both
Farmers Union papers of Iowa, a
daily and weekly, are active anti
Farm Bureau organs.

SPLIT
HEALED FOR time

According to the Associated Press,
that organization which gathers news
for daiy papers and is well known for
it's conservative leanings, the split
between the national banks and state
banks of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION has been bridged over.
AS we pointed out several months
ago state banks are somewhat out
side of the money trust, and the
money trust feels that they are things
to be gotten rid of. We noted the in
tention Of the big eastern bankers to
start branches of their institutions in
our western states as a blow at state
banks. And now we are glad to note
that the state bankers had enough
courage to put up fight when the
association was about to go on re-
cord favoring the branch banking in
district states.
The split, according to the report,
was closed when the resolution was
amended limiting branches Of nation
al banks to the state in which the
home institution is doing business.
Congress is urged to pass a law max
ing such branches possible. But we
do not expect deep seated conflict
like this to be ended so quickly.
Another feature of the association
convention was some foolish remarks
by A. E. Adams Of Youngstown, Ohio.
formerly its president, on our postal
savings banks. .@The postal savings
banks diverts credits from their nat
ural channels" said Mr.. Adams. "The
government cannot run any kind Of
business either efficiently or economi.
cally."

Fargo, North Dakota, October 25.-
Those l. V. A. politicians are great
for sticking to the issues, according
to reports reaching the League state
headquarters. One day last week a
League speaker overheard CONVEX
sation between two North Dakota

discussing the campaign and the out
look for beating the League, when one
of them said:
&'Well, we're not going to take any
chances. During the last three or
four days before election we will send
men to call on every farmer and BUSH
ness man who is in debt to us and tell
them that if the League wins we are
going to force immediate collection.

All details CONNECTS with The loan
Of $4,000 900 70 the Equity Cooper
alive Exchange BY the War Finance
Corporation, have been completed md.
thecredit Is now available g the Fed
eral Reserve Rank In Minneapolis.
This money loaned to the Equity Coz.
Operative Exchange upon it, own
notes with terminal ware
house receipts as collateral security!
It is the purpose sf the Equity to
use this entire credit ii making adj
vauces to farmers upon grain put IN
to market this gram when more stable
conditions have be<n obtained.
At present the market IS erratlc
and grain is selling far below its
known value. BY advancing farmers
go per cent Of the LOCAL value Of their
grain, it is hoped by the Equity Co
operative Exchange that this will
meet the most pressing needs Of the
farmers and that they will thus be en-
abled to hold large quantities, for
instance shipload lots, for sale at
Favorable time in large lots. The ex-
pense Of forming the pool is being
borne by charge Of 2 cents per bush
Ell or less.
Owing to the conflicting reports
that have gone abroad regarding just
who procured his loan, a statement
was made at the Equity Co-Opera-
tive Exchange last week as follows:
ssThis loan Of $15,OOO,OOO was made
exclusively to. the Equity Co-Opera-
tive Exchange upon its being able to
show favorable financial statement,
and is an obligation exclusively upon
the Exchange. No other organiza-
ton assisted or participated in pro.
curing this loan. This is the largest
single loan made to any cooperative
organization thus far by the War
Finance Corporation, and we have
been engaged for two months IN tele-
graphic and letter correspondence be-
tween st. Paul and Washington, D..
c., regarding this loan. It will be
made available to the farmers through
organizers Of the Equity Co-Opera-
tive Exchange, but we are not ask
ing farmers to join our organization
in order 70 get it. They simply con-
sign their grain to us and sign very
brief cooperative marketing agree
ment, approved by the War Finance
Corporation, agreeing that the Equity
shall market their grain. It is for
the present season only, binds no one
to future action, nor does it conflict
with or displace any other organiza-
ton or plans. It is a financial emer-
gency measure which only the Equity
Cooperative Exchange was able to
bring into effect to help out in the
disastrous marketing era that north
western farmers are now facing"

WEEKLY MAR
KET REVIEW
Quinn Stephenson Co.

Saturdays closing prices were but
little changed from the previous week.
On declines there was good support
and on the bulges selling pressure
limited advances, which, under the
conflicting trade influences, was quite
natural.
Some strength was derived from
droughty and poor soil conditions in
the southwest for the new winter
wheat crop. Southwestern reports
have been for sometime rather per-
sistently unfavorable. The settlement
of an immediate railroad strike was
apparently discounted and had no
perceptible effect, but some decrease
in receipts of cash grain was noted
and the decrease generally is attr17
buted to probable freight rate reduc-
ton later. For tn spot offerings IN
! the Cash market the premiums gen
orally remained firm, except on some
| varieties of wheat.
One of the principal influences re-
tarding and weakening to wheat
values is the continual pressure of
Canadian supplies. Although gener-
ally there were expectations OF a de-
creased co,\,try movement to Wlnnl-
/ peg, reports show wheat arrivals
there continuing at a rate Of about
1900 carloads daily. Export demand
/ IS still at a low ebb. Until the steadi-
I " increasing Canadian Visible supply
! will have been cut down, or until
! there is improvement in foreign ex-
change rates and prospect Of in
creased export business, it is quite
i probable that Canadian Wheat will
continue to be a formidable check to
4 advancing prices.
Corn receipts were remarkably
light, and local feeding requirements
1 served to hold prices close to the De:
cenber contract price. On increased
j offerings the latter part Of the week
4 however, weaker undertone was OBJ
served. The oats trade is still hight
i and although the low price is at.
tracing some investment demand
. the market by itself possesses little
or no individuality, still being handi.
I. capped BY heavy supplies, and slug
[gish cash demand. Price changes ARK
. generally in sympathy with ethe1
4 grains.
At present there is nothing tha
we can see to warrant major sWlnt
!; lin either direction. Excellent trading
4 facilities are offered by such mar
!. kets, but purchases probably shoult
! still be- confined to declines and al
Vantage taken Of nominal bulges t!
l make sales.

Plans for Loans Flood
EQUITY Exchange

A feature of the news, at first Civ
en- out abiguous(y, that the Equity Co
Operative Exchange had charge of a
large fund to be loaned to farmers OF
the northwest, was the large number
of applications for portions Of this
supposed loan, on the part Of farm
ers who are being pressed by credl-
tors.
The understanding enormously ar
rived at by many, was that the Equl-
ty can loan on real estate security
portions of the funds it has received
from the War Finance Corporation,
but these funds are only to be used
in making partial payment for grain
consigned to the Equity under a CO.
operative marketing agreement ap-
proved by the War Finance Corpora
tion. The requests for loans covered
amounts for few hundred dollars up
to S2O,OOO.OO, and for periods Of time
ranging from a few months to a
year.
The Equity, however, is now ar
ranging to pay out large amounts OF
this fund as advances or partial pay
mcnts on grain, the volume of grain
.lready signed up now running VI
to several hundred thousand bushels
with the field men gaining rapidly
and fn!ing widespread support. Con
trary to statements given out by Mln

ests, there is a large volume OF un
encountered grain in the northWes
