THE GRAIN TRADE Drouth conditions throughout ' neafi'- 1y all of the spring wheat belt a.nd much of the .corn belt compelled a gradual tse 'in’ ‘prices ‘on both ‘grains throughotft ‘the week, and wheat fu- tures at Minneapolis-gained from 10 to 60 cents per bushel net as a result. Cash wheat made slight net gains far the week, No. 1 Northern closing at $2.90 to $2.95 on Saturday. Monday, July 23, there was so little corn in sight and conditions were so bad, that distillers proved the strongest bidders for corn, but oats was depress- ed and there was little excitement about wheat. On Tuesday and Wednes- day there were heavy slumps in wheat values, despite the shriveled conditions of the fields, the slump on Wednesday running from 6 to 13 cents in different grades, On Wednesday also the bears got up~ a rumor that Venezuela is producing an immense crop of corn and that it is all coming to the United States,_and corn prices were given a jolt in the trading pits of the exchanges, but Friday, the accumulated bad crop reports from all parts of the country overcame this rumor, and corn, as well as wheat, ad- vanced. The probability of g switchmen’s strike in Chicago which would serious- ly handicap the shipping of all kinds of grain, had a large influence in stimu- lating the prices on Saturday. Ship- ments of grain into Minneapolis fell far below what they were a year ago. Minneapolis Cash Wheat" { No. ¥ Nor. | Mo. 3 Nor.

Butter is quoted by the pound, eggs by the dozen, and potatoes in most instances by the bar- rel, the exceptions being Kansas City, Chicago and Dallas, Teexas, where pota- . toes are quoted by the bushel. In Minneapolis new red potatoes are quot- ed at $1.80 per bushel, in addition to the barrel quotation on cobblers shown in the tables. In Dallas eggs are quoted at $7.50 per case, loss.off, but other- wise the tables show the maximum and minimum prices per dozen.

On Monday, July 23, nearly 8000 head ar- rived at South St. Paul, being the big- gest day’s run of the season, and the fact that these were' nearly all grass fed cattle, and not specially fattened stock, seems to indicate that there is a ghortage of feed. Ever slackening call for feeder stock is another indication of the declining interest in livestock on the part of the farmers. Speculators last week at South St. Paul worked hard to get rid of the small holdings they had gather- ed from the run, and had but a few special orders to buy. As grass-fed cattle pewiéed onto the market, and prices in thid line sagged, the price of porkers continued to ad- vance and good prices were pald throughout the week for the better grades of hogs the choicest stock bringing $15 and up to as high as »$15.40. Bulk of the hogs, however, were bought at $14.80 to $14.90, There were few sheep In any of the markets, South St. Paul having a scant supply. Dairy cows were in small demand and prices low.

John M. Baer was elected as Congressman Helgesen’s successor in the First dis- trict with an overwhelming majority which probably will reach 75 per cent. We can not refrain from giving a lusty hurrah for the Nonpartisan element in North Dakota, if only “Normanden” does not pull our hair for doing so. We are on the way of building up an ele- ment of that kind in our own commun- ity. Nothing can be accomplished until the farmer is aroused, it appears. They certainly have been patient and suffer- ed enough now. (Translated for the Nonpartisan Leader). — “VESTER- HEIMEN"” Crookston, Minn. THE FARMERS STICK L John . M. Baer, the candidate, was elected to congress with an overwhelming majority, July 10. The farmers stick. Nearly all the large ° towns and cities cast majorities for Burtness. It simply demonstrates that the majority has been and is rural Heretofore, the question has been to get them to stick. Townley seems to have worked the miracle and now Townley is an awful fellow. However, he has the majority with him, and the | Free Press does not believe it a bad ermwd. Anyway, the other fellows are trymg very hard to get that bad crowd with. them and are mighty sore be- | cause they can’t. The farmers stick.— FREE PRESS, Linton, N. D. FARMERS ARE PATRIOTIC . “The Nonpartisan league is an in- ‘stitution of the kaiser,” is an assertion fr.equently made by opposing news- papers. This is a direct slander of the farm- ers. The farmer of the Northwest is just as patriotic as the man in any other class. Locally some of the heav- jest purchasers of Liberty bonds are members of the League, His member- ship in this organization is no mark of disloyalty. He has begun to realize that organization is his only salvation. —DEER CREEK (MINN.) MIRROR. HASN'T LOST YET Latest reports from the election re- turns from the First Congressional district held last Tuesday, announce the election of J. M. Baer, the Non- partisan league candidate,’to succeed the late H. T. Helgesen.
