If this table shows anything, it is that prices
are higher now than they were last year. But
it cannot be regarded as criterion for the flu
ture In general, prices were not extravagant-
ly high last October. 1t was only as the winter
advanced that they rose. Now, they are gradu-
ally falling Flour, only few weeks ago was
$l2 a barrel for most housekeepers, and meat
and other articles are declining in the same
way. With such a crop as we have had, it may
be safely assumed that the prices of most arti-
cles of farm produce will not be higher, if they
are not lower, this winter than they are now.
How the -four question will be settled, no one
can tell. 1t is q matter on which both bulls
who believe that it will again go to Sl2 and
bears who expect to buy at So, have great
deal to say on their respective sides. Pork will
fall as soon as the diminution in the supply
caused by the forced determination of the ami
mails during the hard times Of last year, has
been made up. Other articles we may hope to
see lower.
