Business does not open very briskly for this
week, but 1t wound up exceedingly well last week,
showing large increase over the week previous.
1t is DESTROYS that producers and farmers in the
vicinity of this market should notice particularly
that dealers and shippers in this city will pay,
and are now paying, very liberal prices for every
kind of produce and provisions. The quantity
required for consumption in this city is very large
and will gradually increase as our population in
creases, and the continued high price demanded
for articles in the produce and provision line is
inducing many farmers to look in this direction
for good lands upon which to settle. There is but
little uncultivated land within the vicinity of keo-
kuk, unless it be some spots on side hills, and
even those are being filed with thrifty vineyards
Scarcely week passes but inquiry is made 70,
land in this vicinity. The soil is well adaptedfol
gardening.
We notice little or no change from former quo.

townsman and friend, r. B. Ogden. appears
in that firm. 1t will be unnecessary hence to
commend it to our own citizens who NAV 90

companion socially. He has connected him
self in his new home with Mr. John o. Mon

Monroe is well known in this community as

fine business qualities. The house will doubt
