Technical Failures Prevented

That numerous banks throughout
the state are being held up by main
strength is apparent from reports re-
ceived from various quarters. The
Beayerhead State bank, of Dillon,
some weeks ago came into prominence
when its directors and stockholders
were made defendants in q suit in the
federal court here involving sum
exceeding 100000 due on notes to
an eastern loan company. The bank
has caused the notes to be guaran-
teed by all or most Of its stockhold-
ers. When they fell due the bank de-
faulted in payment, and when the
stockholders becoming panic-stricken,
transferred their property to their
wives in an endeavor to escape pay

MONTHLY REVIEW
Quinn Stephenson Co.

After reaching higher levels than
has obtained for some time, wheat
prices the past week were rather in
clined to fainting spells, in contrast
to Coarse Grains which remained
firm or higher than the previous
week. s.y.5.
e In the coarse grain market some
investment buying is noted, based ap-
parent on a public sentiment generally
prevalent that regards corn and oats
below intrinsic worth, below normal
production costs, too far out OF. line
with other commodities, and there
fore entitled to support. It is such
support, together with fair export
demands, absence of strong Argen-
tine competition and a light farm
movement that accounts for the pres
ent comparative strength in corn.
It is noteworthy also that not the
least of influences supporting coarse
grains is the financial help to pro-
ducers by the War Finance Corpora
ton. Loans are continuing to be
made and will doubtlessly result in
an orderly movement of new corn
which in all probability will be at no
time burdensome or depressing.
Wheat receipts also have been hight,
and consequently the hedging pres
sure has been likewise. On the 9TH
err hand there is but little speculative
buying in wheat and mills report
that the -four demand still is on a
