is rather discouraging to owners e

another year will see both good,ccrops
and good prices as in former years.
Owing to the dry fall. a good deal of
the fall wheat does not look very
good. Prices ter live stock are very
good, especially for cows, prices at
auction sales of late running from $:k)
and $35 to $50 a cow, hogs are in
fair demand also. but horses are

as to the prospects for next year.
Still in so far as we can judge by the
appeurauce of things at present and
the outlook for prices in the conning
summer, the year lt111 will not be a
whit behind the year 11103 in success
and prosperity.
