MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Evening Grain Letter.
Chicago, 111., April 11.—Wheat: The
market opened about steady and ad
vanced sharply, with the greater^
strength shown In the deferred fu
tures. May wheat being again on sale
supposedly by the leading long inter
est. Prices eased around noon being
influenced by the weakness in tho
northwestern market, particularly
Minneapolis. The continuance of sen
sational reports of damage from the
winter wheat country, both east and
west o£ the river, were the basis of
today's further advance in prices,
those from the eastern country show
ing a great unanimity of opinion and
pleading such damage on a very large
percentage of the growing crop. Re
ports from Kansas called attention to
the fact that the ground being dry and
cracked, although the plant is not
suffering from lack of root moisture
At present. Illinois and Indiana reports
were particularly doleful, and claimed
complete failure in many sections.
RThe broadness of the market, with the
large increase of outside interest, Is
the best possible evidence of the re
liability of the discouraging reports re
garding the growing crop and we feel
that there is much truth in these re
ports and that the market is destined
toward a much higher level of values.

Broomhall's Report.
Liverpool, April 11.—Wheat: The
market opened with free covering and
prices to higher with the prin
cipal strength in the distant months.
This advance was due entirely to the
strength in America which was un
expected. The Buenos Ayres market
was strong at the close but the
strength was explained by the strong
American markets and plate offers
were freer on the advance and later
was offered lower. There was gen
erally an advance in cargo offers on
passage by holders but this advance
checked business and with the larger
shipments expected this week from
Argentine, as estimated by private
houses, and the disposition to realize
In May and the strength shown in
distant months, caused profit taking
and prices declined to V4d from
the opening. At 1:30 p. m. the mar
ket was easier and to higher
than yesterday. Corn opened Vi to
higher and further advanced
to Vi with the undertone strong. The
strength in America caused free cov
ering by shorts.

Crashed Into Freight Cars.
Grafton Record: The south-bound
express train on the Great Northern
narrowly escaped a serious wreck at
St. Thomas Monday evening when it
ran into an open switch and crashed
into two box cars that were being
loaded with wheat on the siding.
The accident Occurred Just as the
train was pulling into the city and
was due to the switch being left
open which iuined the train onto
the siding instead of keeping the
main track. A. Leisson and E. J.
Strupp, mail clerks, saw the danger
and jumped. Both were slightly
injured. Fireman Muehler and one
of the brakemen also jumped, but
Engineer Morgan Curran remained
at his post. Through a quick ap
plication of the brakes he lessened
the train's speed and the accident
was not aa bad as it might have
been.
The train was backed onto the
main track and proceeded on its
journey with only a loss of about
fifteen minutes. None of the passen
gers were injured but many Wife
badly frightened,

ASSOCIATION HELD IN FARGO
TODAY—ADDRESS THIS MORN
ING BY J. A. LATTA.
The annual convention of the Third
district of the North Dakota State
Bankers' association was held In Far
go today at the commercial club.
About forty bankers of ine cities in
this district were In attendance at
the meeting.
The meeting was called to order by
Ole Arnegaard of Hillsboro, president
of the association. Rev. J. M. Wal
ters of the First Methodist church of
this city offered prayer, after which
Mayor V, R. Lovell was introduced to
welcome the visitors.
The mayor made one of his usually
happy speeches which put the bankers
in a good frame of mind at once. One
of the amusing anecdotes he told dur
ing his address referred to a question
he asked one of his children who had
been out of school and had become a
little rusty during the spring vacation.
He asked her what the three greatest
products of America were and the
child answered, "President Taft, Gov
ernor Burke and Mayor Lovell." This
brought forth much laughter and all
the bankers were glad to know they
had the opportunity of listening to one
of America's three greatest products.
Alex Currie, president of the First
National Bank of Sharon and vice
president of the Third district asso
ciation, responded to the address of
welcome In behalf of the visitors.
Secretary Beckwith read the mlnut«s
of the previous meeting and commit
tees on resolution and nominations
were appointed by the chair. The com
mittee on resolutions comprises F. W.
Ehred of Hope. H. P. Rice of Colgate
and L. R. Buxton of Fargo.
The nomination committee is com
posed of George Warner of Hope and
E. T. Taisey of Finley,
The closing feature of the morning
session was an address by J. A. Latta
of Minneapolis, vice president of the
Northwestern National bank of that
city. His talk was an able one and
gave the bankers a clear insight into
business conditions during th® com
ing year.
The programme of the afternoon
session Is an excellent one. This
evening following the business session
there will be a banquet served at 6:30
o'clock at the commercial club cafe,
after which the entire party will at
tend the performance at-the Orpheum
theatre.
