In the city there are twenty-three flour mills with a combined capacity of ap-| proximately 100,000 barrels of flour per day, and in the adjacent territory, including Duluth, there is a com- bined daily capacity of over 50,000 barrels in addition. Present condi- tions compare favorably with preced- ing years and are much more satis- factory from several points of view. The mills have never produced so much flour in four months as they have in the last four months of 1912. Wheat prices have been on an attrac- | 151 tive basis and sales of flour for future deliveries have been the largest in the history of the mills. LINSEED OIL closely rivals the flour industry. The crop year end- ing August 81, 1912, was disappoint- |} ing so far as volume was concerned. The-1911 crop was small, the price of oil high, consumption was curtailed and conditions not satisfactory. The 1912 linseed crop is large and the fin- ished product both oil and oilcake is selling for a much lower price than a year ago and a better feeling prevails. The mills have heavy orders booked for future deliveries and are optimis- tic on 1913 prospects.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLIESVery steady with an increasing volume of business, average increase about twenty per cent. GAS AND TRACTION ENGINES— Competjtion is becoming severe and harder work necessary to conduet business, sales moderately ahead of former years. FOOTWEAR—Gain of from ten per cent to thirty per cent reported, ad- vance sales much ahead of previous year. FURNITURE—Reports are not uniform regarding 1912, but all agree on favorable prospects for 1913. An early price advance is looked for. GROCERIES AND FOOD STUFFS —Conditions not satisfactory; sales for 1912 very little ahead of 1911. Advance orders about the same as a year ago. HARDWARE—First six months below 1911, last half, twenty per cent above with good healthy demand in prospect. HATS, CAPS AND FURS—A fair increase over 1911 with orders on hand for future delivery ahead of last year. Minneapolis is one of the lead- ing fur distributing centers of the country. Volume for 1912 is largest in the history of the trade. STRUCTURAL IRON—Volume of sales increased with all shops., In- crease .distributed over the United States fairly uniform.

A betterment appears to have set in and a further improvement is looked for. Taken as a whole, with local conditions understood, collections for the year cannot be regarded as much below normal expectation. BANKING conditions are satisfac- tory. The Northwest has never been as independent of Eastern money cen- ters as this year. Very little outside assistance has been required and lo- cal banks have carried more outside loans than ever before. Money has ranged between five per cent and six per cent for the year, closing at the higher figure. Six national, fourteen state, four savings banks and two trust companies make up the financ- ial institutions of Minneapolis and the following is a combined table of the national and state banks: 7,726,500 No. Loans and Year Banks Discounts 19124 ,...20 $68,200,599 8 760 91 In addition to the above, four sav- ings banks have combined deposits of $21,213,358. +*Eleven months, DYNAMITE CASES NOW BEFORE JURY (Continued from first page). 1910, and which the government al- leges Olaf A. Tweitmoe, San Fran- cisco, acknowledged in a letter to J. J. 09| McNamara as “a Christmas present to the Pacific coast.” Mr. Miller again referred to Sena- tor John W. Kern, who had argued before the jury for the defense. “Senator Kern has said that in the strike of the iron workers’ union against open shop contractors = it would not have been to the advantage of those men to blow up jobs,” said Mr. Miller. “Senator Kern said the jobs were those of the steel trust and it would not hurt the steel trust with its mil- lions to damage their property. Think of a United States Senator making a statement like that in a court of jus- tice. How much money does it take to induce a United States senator like that?” CHILDREN PUT <CHICK TO BED. “Flutfy” the Pet of Two Youngsters Out in Oregon. Fluffy 1s a chick that made its ap- pearance at the home of Gerald and Ellen Ryan, little son and daughter of Joseph A, Ryan, 365 East Thirty- fourth street, last Kaster Sunday, since which time it has become a fam- 1y pet. It was a present from a friend. ‘With the children especially Fluffy is on excellent terms, and enjoys its chickenship immensely throughout the livelong day. When the evening shad- ows fall Fluffty wanders up to the house and casts longing glances at Gerald and Ellen. Then they know what to do, for it's certain bedtime has arrived and their pet wants to re- tire. It waits until taken in charge by the tots, who tenderly carry it to the basement and carefully set it down in its nice, comfortable box, where it re- mains throughout the long, silent watches of the night. Last week Fluffy undertook a big Job—to fly from the attic window to the chimney—and nearly frightened Ellen and Gerald into fits. After alight- ing on the chimney the chick was afraid, at first, to attempt to reach the ground, and Gerald was about to fetch & ladder, when Fluffy screwed up suffi- eient courage to make the daring leap, and the situation was relieved.—Port- land Oregonian, Saw Him First.

The University of Illinols recom- mends the amendment of rule § so that it shall read as follows: “A student shall be ineligible to represent his college or university in any intercollegiate athletic contest under the following conditions: “(A)—If he is or has been a mem- ber of any team playing under the na- tional agreement of professional base- ball clubs or has engaged in contests with teams playing under this agree- ment. “(B)—If he i8 or has been a mem- ber of any so-called outlaw team. “(C)—1It he has played on any team regularly for a salary, so that playing has been his vocation or principal calling for the period of his. associa- tion with said team. “(D)—If he has ever drawn a salary for nominal service in some alleged employment while his athletic work His first fight as a professional was | ha8 been really his main service. “(E)—If he Is or has at any time during his college course been a member of any athletic team of any athletic lub. “(F)—It he is receiving or has at any time received compensation as coach, trainer or instructor in physi- cal training. “(G)—If in term time he engages in athletic contests as a representa- tive of any athletic organization not connected with the college.” The University of Illinois also pro- poses that in place of an eligibility | committee in each university, which passes on eligibility of students in that university, there be created a | single committee from the various | universities to rule finally upon ques- | tions of eligibility, and In doing so to enforce the true spirit of amateur- ism without regard to trivial infrac- | “ “Wise-Acre.” “Wise-acre” has its origin in Ben Joneon’s retort to a countryman who boasted interminably of his acres, till Ben sald: “What signify to us your dirt and your clods?
