DAILY AND WEEKLY MMHKsorrAs OFFICE
The close OF navigation this year, will make less al
teration In our Markets than at preceding one for
our circumstances this season, differ materially from
those in which at this period in any of them
For the first time In the history Minnesota we have
raised enough to largely satisfy all home demand and
export to the amount of nearly $500 markets be-
low There now remains, despite the doubts and fears
Of some enough, and even more than enough, last
until the harvest Of 1859 Ia garnered notwithstanding
that our harvests this year not SO full they
would have been, had the been favorable,
yet the increase in cultivated, produced the in
crease the last years harvests Then produced
nearly enough in Minnesota, to supply our home de-
mand This year not only do that completely, yet
supply other markets with heavy shipments.
Itis the demand from below which has caused prices
to remain high Last year, in the main, they
much lower We .ook for decline from present rates,
however, there s much produce in the country,
and chance for further shipment. II it for
this they would be lower than the unprecedenedy
low rates Of last fall Next year. however, il the
son is favorable will witness time Of prosperity for
farm that they have before had, and
exports VIM amount probably half million Of dollars
while the overplus will satisfy the home demand caused
by heavy immigration into all parts Of our State.
