A Story Of Storage Tickets
(St. Paul Dispatch)


On December LIST there were storage tickets out
standing in North Dakota to the value of $685.
43105 issued by elevators in that state to farmers
This was ascertained from reports required by law
to be made to the State Board OF Railroad Commits
sioners by the elevators, 1882 such elevators
porting. Under the same law these elevators were
required to give bond each in the sum of $1,000,
to guarantee payment on the tickets. This was
at the beginning Of the season. Since that time
such has been the increase in storage wheat-addi-
tional bonds in the amount Of 05 have been
required of these elevators to protect the owners
of the stored wheat.
At the price prevailing December l. there must
be close to 100000 bushels Of wheat held by
North Dakota farmers awaiting the price they think
is fair for their product. What such foresight has
done for those who stored rather than sold ON a
falling market may be guessed by the rise In the
price of wheat-about rs Gems bushel-in the past
week. 1t is a net gain OF close to $1,000 900
which by the way OF Christmas present ought to
fll the largest and most hungry stocking. Evil

pretty we'll, and these farmers who stored have not
only made money for themselves. but by holding
their wheat have served to keep the price from
sinking for the man who was forced by hard cir.
