THE FARMERS
Continued From First Page
Milwaukee was once the greatest cash
svheat and futures Market, .and there are
several "prominent Minneapolis grain men
who began as employes of companies con
trolled by Alexander Mitchell Peter Mc -
Geogh, Angus Smith and other old-time
Milwaukee capitalists Milwaukee also
boasted Daniel Newhall, the first man to
trade in privileges* ,
The system took root abroad and there
were great markets for grain futures the
world over before Minneapolis was heard
of.
Trade Beginning Here '
Meanwhile however the milling-indus
try, which was to make Minneapolis, was
growing up Here were mills bujing
wheat everj. day The gram men had an
exchange and an institution known as a
call board A t 11 30 every morning buy
ers and sellers would get together Colo
nel George D Kogers, now secretary of
the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
was call board auctioned A seller would
hand up a memorandum of what he had
to offer ' Five thousand bushels No 1
is offered," the auctioneer would an
nounce "What am I bid'" The highest
bidder took the lot Price variations were
wide Even after bidding began no seller
knew within several cents what figure
he would get and no buyer was sure of
his ground It was a crude, unsatisfac
tory way and instability was the feature
A J Sawyer was the father of future
trading in Minneapolis Mi Sawyer was
the owner of a line of country ele\ators
along the Northern Pacific road and had
his headquarters in Duluth About 1885
he came to Minneapolis to rebide per
manently From the first he argued that
with the prestige of a large wheat-con
suming point to build upon, Minneapolis
should become a great market for fu -
tures Mainly through his efforts a pit
was built and continuous trading inau
gurated Mr Sawyer was the first Min
neapolis man to bid for 100 000 bushels
of wheat, then considered a big trade
Trading in futures grew and wi,th it
there began that development of Minne
apolls, which continuing to the present
day, has astonished the world Millers
could now buy either spot wheat or wheat
for future delivery at home, and elevator
men could hedge here against country
purchases This business had been going
to Chicago and New York
Effect Seen In Big Elevators.
Seeing the advantages of carrying gram
m store where there was the enormous
consumptive demand resulting from the
operation of the flour mills on the one
hand and an active future market on the
other, elevator men erected houses here
until to-day Minneapolis boasts the gfceat
est carrying capacity in the world with
forty-two houses dotting the city with
capacity for 34 475,000 bushels
Then came the drifting in of the smaller
scattered country interests and theh
welding together here The foundei of
the great Peavey system had his head
quarters originally in Iowa and many of
the great local grain houses whose mem
bers are powers in the trade are the out
growth of smaller country companies that
found it advantageous to shift their head
quarters with the rise of Minneapolis
The city became the center towards which
the unattached interests in the northwest
grain trade gravitated, and in the Cham
ber of Commetce, the flour exchange and
the Corn exchange were fdund the men
who financed the companies that pene
tiatfd the new west as fast as it was
opened up, just as to-day they are be-
giT ifrjf to bacK the American grain men.
who are invading the Canadian northwest
This much the trading in futures has
helped to do for Minneapolis Grain men
are therefote amazed that there are Min
neapolis repi esentatives in the state legis
lature to day who by their attitude toward
the anti-bucket-shop bill should show
themselves either profoundlv Ignorant of
the great business that has built the city
or utterly indifferent as to the city's wel

Millers as Factors.
The xnilleis, meanwhile, with the
product of their twenty-two mills and the
advantages of a sure supply of raw ma -
terial under conditions of comparative
stability have broken down old trade bai
riers everywhere and spread the
fame of Minneapolis around the
world And in financial circles in
our own country it became a
matter for comment that while Minne
apolis was eighteenth in population, she
stood ninth, eighth andA sometimes
seventh, on the list in bank clearing*-
Benefit to the Farmer.
But if the system has helped Minneapo
lis m a far greater degree has it benefited
the farmers of the northwest "With the
greatest market in the world close at
banc, the Minnesota farmer is m an en -
viable postion and every acre of Minne
sota farm land has risen in value with
the rise of the Minneapolis market. In
the Minneapolis pit are found men rep
resenting the three great elements the
milling buyers, the sellers for elevators,
and the speculators who aie buyers or sell
ers as they find to their advantage
The speculative element is an impoi
tant consideration, but it does not domi
nate the pit to the extent that a superfi
cial observer, or one unfamiliar with the
trade, might suppose These speculators
serve a good purpose since they are ready
to buy and carry wheat when it shows
tendency to sink below legitimate value,
as is sometimes the case when the new
ciop moves freely and a thousand cars
or more a day pile into Minneapolis This
pressure of wheat for sale does not often
weaken prices materially Six thousand
cars of wheat, or much more than the
mills can grind, may come into Minne
apolis in a week, and the market show
no decline Elevator men will buy it if
there is a carrying charge, or at the smallr
est discount, for as fast as they buy they
can step Into the pit and sell futures
against it The wheat goes into elevators
and the elevator man, havng sold it for
future delivery, is protected against loss
by decline, neither does ho profit t an
advance. H e makes the legitimate profit
of a warehouseman
A miller may receive an order fot a lot
of flour If the order is satisfactory, he
telegraphs or cables acceptance, steps into
the pit and buys a quantity of wheat for
future delivery to cover the floui sale
This is also a hedge If, when he comeb
to nu*ke the flour for this ordei, his waeat
costs more, he has a profit in the future
to offset it, and \ice veia A farmer
taking his N o 1 northern to a country
elevator, where the freight to Minneapolis
is 10 cents, can get in cash 13 cents un
der Minneapolis for his wheat and some
times it Is figured even closer During a
good part of the year receipts of -wheat
are not heavy enough to au p ' th mills
They then take what Is offered and draw
on elevator stocks for the remainder Pre
miums are paid for cash wheat and a
farmer can take advantage of this if be
has wheat to ship,
Futures Impar* Stability.
The greatest result of the futuies sys
tem has been the stability Imparted to the
grain markets The d'cline m price from
the winter to- the period of the heavy
movement the following season was for
merly v^ry heavy The disadvantage of
this has been minimized by the futures
system, nor do the declines cover oh the
average one-half the range of former vears
It is this system that the house com

TREATYii ^RATIFIED

The Cuban Senate Adopts it by a
Vote of 12 to 0No Time
Limit Set.
Havana, March #rT~Th treaty of reci
procity between ^Cuba and the United
States, as amended by pie senate of he
United States, was approved by the Cu
ban senate by,a \ote pt 12 to 0, ^
This approAal is - absolute The qles
tionable time-limit amendment was dis
pensed with through jthe receipt or a ca
ble message from Secretary Hay, in which
it was positively declared that President
Roosevelt would call a special session of
congress before Dec 1 Final action was
delayed by the discussion of an amend
ment offered b Senators Sanguillv, Ta -
mayo and Recio, requiring the house to
pass upon the treaty Senator Sanguiily
argued that, while the constitution was
not explicit upon this point, the represen
tatives in congress of the people ought
to be consulted as well as the commei
cial interests whose opinions the commit
tee had sought eagerly.} H e cited pie ac
tion of the United States senate as a
precedent and said the committee evident
ly was afraid that the treaty would be de
feated if submitted to the house Senator
Dolz admitted that this a good reason,
and quoted the xsonstitution to show that
leference to the house was not required
The amendment requiring the house to
pass on the treaty was defeated 5 to 15
The United States minister, Mr Squiers,
said _ ,
' The ratification of the treaty without
amendment is due almost entirely to the
asurance given by President Roosevelt that
he will call an extra session of congress
before Dec 1 This action of the presi
dent will be appreciated and accepted by
the Cuban government and people as an
additioral evidence of the most sincere
friendship and interest on the part of the

bounded faith and confidence "
IRISH GOLD ORNAMENTS
A Dispute as to Their Disposition
Will Come Up in the
Courts.
London March 80 The l emarkable
case "of the Iiish gold ornaments will
soon come on for a hearing in the law
courts These relics were ploughed up on
some land in the riorthwtest of Ireland in
1S96 by a farm laborer, and, after pass
ing through several hands, were sold to
the British museum for 600 All efforts
to reclaim them for Ireland have proved
unavailing, the authorities at Bloomsburg
being precluded from parting with any
object once acquired The government
dfficers say the articles are treasure trove,
and therefore belong to the crown, but the
trustees of the museum reply that within
living meraorj the sea has burst over the
land, upon which the objects were found,
and probably at the date to which they
belonged the sea extended much farther
inland The relics Include a collar with
ornaments of Celtic character in relief,
a twisted collar of solid wire, two neck
chains, a bowl and a model of a boat with
oars
