This is a question of a good ' deal of interest at the present time.

Salt 'manufacturers say the opening _oT the United States ,market will be of .no,• advantage to them, and on the other hand they fear the. abolition of the Canadian duty. will work to -their disadvantage in the Canadian. market. W. L. Horton', manager of the Goderich Elevator Co., informs The Signal that he does not° "expect reciprocity to" affect the grain trade here to any great extent. A very great .advantage from the reciprocity agreement will be the benefits to the farming cqmmunity from the opening of the United' States market , to Canadian farm - products. This will enhance the value of almost everything raised on the farms of Huron County, and increased prosperity among, the farmers will• be reflected by -increased-- prosperity-_ . 'in the • towns.
