EE The Muscatne Journal SAYS
that nearly all the wheat that is received
at that place is brought from Jones and
Linn couties, distance of from 40 to 80
miles. The dealers are paying sl.0O per
bushel for old wheat. of which they are get
ting considerable quantities. The Journal
thinks that their market is paying higher
prices than any other in the State-from
the fact that these men of the above named
counties cross two railroad tracks to get to
that market.
A gentleman of this city informs US that

Gays that 60 deep seated had become the
enrnty of the people in that region against
wild cat money, that they refuse entirely

market # they can got rid Of it at any place

their wheat here they carry it to that city

BY this it will be seen that the managers
Of the N. G M. Road are earnestly laboring
TO push forward both branches Of the road
as fast as possible. On the main branch,
to TT. Des Aoines and Council Bluffs, .
large number Of hands are employed. We
are glad to see the work 60 ahead, and We
hope all the counties along the line will
see the necessity of extending their aid in
this good work. OF course we should pre-

pushed ahead in preference to the lower or
southern branch; but this, perhaps, would
