BURLINGTON v
advance in manufactured goods while the
raw material is declining is occasioned by
the scarcity of the former. The rapid de-
cAhe some weeks ago found many holders
III such u position that they were forced to
SELL and the large quantities Of goods
nrown upon the market created a panic, IN
"hicn prices were carried below what thew
should nave been. The low prices created
very unusual demand, all classes of
People rehpa desiring es to repienish their ward
looes, the supply was light, and prices of
course rallied. Manufacturers who had
closed thelr mills during the panic, desired
20 start them again, and entered the mar
ket lor the purpose of purchasing cotton,
ana, ehe moment they did 80, the price of
cotton advanced, and the manufactured
gooas o. course followed. Now that cot
OF all kinds of goods not only maintains
prices, but absolutely advances them.-
Inc MUS are now commencing operations
again, but 1t will take something like thir-
" Gays before they will have goods to sell,
ana then Mt least ten after that before they
are brought within the reach OF the con-
sumer. These goods will be thrown on the
market at prices based upon the cost Of
production. which will not be far below
present prices, AS the cotton with which
the. mills will conmence operate was
purchased at the highest figures of the past
two weeks. Ten days after they are ex-
posed tor sale the manufacturers will SUD-
init To something of u Decline and. il they

seems safe to predict that some sixty DAYS
FAUST eiapse before there will be any cheap
goods in the market.
In local business we have but few chan
ges to note. Our wholesale dealers seer,
to he doing fair amount Of business, and
traders in the interior that do not care to
buy large bills, find the saving in going
east to purchase, does not equal the ex-
pense, hence they mostly buy here.
The weather, early in the week was rainy
and last night had another shower. Very
many we'll informed people set it down as
liked fact that We have wet season once
in seven years. At any rate 1t has held
good since 1887, and tradition has it that it
was equally true for long period before
the date named. The indications are that
the present seventh year, will be no excep-
ton to the rule.
| We learn that the wheat in the ground
looks unusually promising, particularly
so Of the fall sowing, and if nothing occurs
to ipjIre it between now and harvest, the
crop will be large. Our opinion however
| is that the raising Of wheat in this vicinity
is gradually falling of every year, the
| crop on the whole not being regarded as a
profitable one. Germ, oats and rye all pay
better. Southern Iowa seems to be pecu-
liarly adapted to corn, and cultivating and
feeding it to stock pays better than almost
ony other crop.
| Owing to the bad condition OF the roads.
the receipts. of grain are very light. The
city mills do not get as much v heat as their
wants require, and have had to buy up the
river, where it can be found in store. No
winter sells for 81 25, and good spring at
81. Oats are quiet at 36r, and corn at soc.
with bat little doing.
Butter continues very scarce and high,
and what little is to he found is generally
strong enough to get along without help.
1t sells for A9to 45c, and we have heard OF
as high as 80 cents being paid. Eggs are
not plenty, and it is said there is panic
among the hens, and ike the Chicago bank
ers unler like circumstances. they 'retuss
to discount even for heir hes. customers
