Ad- dress Leo Ryan, Havelock, N. D. 49-2t North Dakota ‘Loan Rates High -} (Continued from page 19) rate, the central zone of the state con- - siderably higher rate and the western part of the state the highest rate, rang- ing from 9 to over 10 per cent on the average. The rates get cheaper as one travels west from the eastern border of the state. This is probably caused because the eastern part of the state is nearer Grand Forks and Fargo, the financial centers of the state, where a considerable amount of money is at hand" to invest in farm land loans at more or less reasonable rates, and because the land in the eastern paft of the state is considered better. and is more - fully developed, because it is the oldest settled region of the state. Only 20.2 per cent of this kind of loans made in North Dakota is- made without a commission being charged by a banker or broker, leaving 79.8 per cent of the loans on which brokers exact a toll. Of the 79.8 per cent which a commission is paid, 82.8 per cent pay the commission “in advance and only 17 per cent do not pay the banker’s commission in advance. No other state exacts a commigsion in advance on so big a -proportion of the loans. In fact, no other state, except Oklahoma, - notorious = for .its usury, exacts a banker’s commission ‘on as large a-proportion of the total farm loans as North Dakota. : £ The bulletin also makes an interest- ing study of the source of-money which is" invested in North Dakota in first mortgage log/ns.A Of the total farm land debt in-first mortgages in North Dakota, amounting to_ $100,364,000, insurance companies hold $19,423,000, or 19.4 per cent. Banks holt only about .$5,000,000 of the total indebtedness, or about 5 per cent, but banks negotiated or “handled” about $42,370,000 ‘of ‘the total. So that: on the great bilk of the Toans banks charged a commission.’ ’ et : It is interesting to note that the igsurénce companies have not poured their money 'into North Dakota for * investment as'they-have in other” states. A smaller per cent of insurance money has gone into North Dakota farm land mortgages than in any other state in the. so-called “west north central” group of ~ states. This withholding of = insurance money from investment in North Dakota_is partly the cause of the high rates for farm loans prevailing in” this state. The hail and fire inurance busi~ mess in North Dakota, in proportion to + the losses, is most profitable; as Hereto-- . fore shown by the Leader, the rates being high and the losses comparatively . 1 Northern, $1.58% ; No. 2 durum, $1.40% - With ‘about 20,000 cattle on the market- * to $8.50; weaners $4 to $5. - QUALITY!

The life companies do a big business here also. Yet the insurance companies though taking all this money out of the state, have neglected to give North Dakota as good a deal as other states when it comes to investing their surpluses in farm loans. The following figures will show this: The insurance companies hold only 19.4 per cent of the farm mortgages in North Dakota, but they hold the follow- ing per cent of the total mortgage debt on farms in the other states of the west north centra] group: Minnesota, 24.5 per cent; Iowa, 32 per cent; Missouri, -26.8 per cent; South Dakota 33.6 per cent; Nebraska, 40.4 per cent; Kansas, 35.7 per cent. . J WHEAT STILL GOING UP i Wheat closed on the . Minneapolis ik market Saturday, August 19 showing a : net gain of 10 and 11 cents in two days # and over four cents for one day. Chicago reported heavy buying of futures by foreigners, and crop damage reports, par~ ticularly from Conada, added their influ- ence to keep wheat traders in a fever throughout the session. iy In spite of the fact that the railway i presidents and managers had refused to give in on any of their demands, and prospects for a general strike were stronger than at any previous time, the buying at high prices for September and December delivery did not abate. There ‘was much cash buying-of wheat in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, and holders let go a considerable amount, taking large profits, but this ‘did not check the buying -orders. The most’ immediate incentive to excitement was a . report now at last credited, that Canadian wheat was going to be short. Until very lately it had been stoutly maintained that damage to Canadian fields had been slight. Frost = possibilities - in this region were also an element in the situation. . Estimates for the northwestern United: States crops dropped to a new low level, and give Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota a total yield of not more than a normal North Dakota yield, 89,- - 000,000 bushels, tha apportionment between; the three states being, North. » Dakota, 37,000,000, -South Dakota, 22,- . 000,000, and Minnesota, 30,000,000. i The high price for :Saturday at Minne- apolis were $1.58% for September and $1.55% ‘for December. Cash prices from the St. Paul grain exchange were: No. 1 hard, $1.63%; No. to $1.43%. — LIVESTOCK MARKET - - : South: St. Paul, Minn., August.19— B At et this week the cattle market ruled steady to-strong all around, especially on good stockers and feeders, for.which there has been quite a little outside demand. % Prime fed steers $8.50 -to $9.50; good to choice grassy steers $7.50 to $8.50; fair to good $6.50 to $7.50. i Prime fed cows and heifers $7 to $8; good to choice grassy cows and heifers $6 to $6.75; fair to good $5.25 to $6; com- mon to- fair $4.75 ‘to ‘$5.25; canners and cutters $4 to $5.75; shelly old cows $3.76 orless; - - - - Butcher bulls $5.25 to $6.25; bolognas ; $5.25 to. $6.75; common and light bulls i) i $4.50 to $5. ; § Veal calves top $11.75; seconds around ' $9.25; ‘culls $6.50 to $7.75; choice heavy calves $8.50 to $9.50; fair to good $6.50 Stocker and feeder market 10 to 15c - lower. —Select heavy fleshy feeders $6.50 to $7; good to choice feeders $6 to $6.50; fair to good $5.50 to‘6. oy Yearlings and’calves good to choice ’ $5.76 to.$6.25; fair'to good $5.25 to $5.75; common to fair'$4.50 to'$5.
