to recover from the present level OF de
preston, il is hardly wise TO dispose OF
Them at such low prices with the risk 81
four months paper in exchange paper
which will mature in the latter part OF De-
cember, a time when currency - always
scarce, particularly scarce in the South,
aud threatens TO be more Than usually
scarce This year on account OF the colitraf-
/ ton policy of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. If, on the contrary, prices are going
TO be lower, the men who have been IN
vited to buy at present prices VIII Iooh
back upon them as eXtortionate, ana "heh
| called upon 10 pay, NAV do so very grudg-
ingly. The South, however, was never
| better off in respect OF ready cash than she
Is TODAY, and the temptation 10 sell a sec
ton ofthe country hat is w~ell-to-do, and
/ has always borne a good name for engage
ments, viii prove difficult TO resist.
Western BUYERS are still trammelled by
| the difficulties brought upon them through
the lack of sagacity displayed by Western
farmers The latter, instead of selling
their crops last year for the best prices
thew could get, held on to large portions of
I them in the hope of a recovery, which, as
time proves, has not come. On the con-
| trarv- prices have fallen, and another Sc
ries Of crops is now heaping on top of last
| wears. II seems a sacrifice 10 sell at a
nominal loss, but farmers should remein-
Der tina as the currency contracts n
prices fall, they are getting better dol
iars-dollars that will buy more than the
dollars they have laid out. They should
also bear in mind that 1t never pays Il man
of limited means TO hold his crops. This
is the business of the capitalist and specu-
lator; and it requires special means, and
a special training. These circumstance
have combined 10 keep back the Western
trade, and we can see no way TO cure the
difficulty. A little more pluck on the
part of buyers, and a firm resolve TO re-
strict credits and keep shor accounts with
the farmers, may mend matters. These
are the times Tor bold men 10 make for
tunes. Small profits, no credits, sE(att
stocks repeatedly replenished, and quick
sales, should be the watchwords OF the
retailer.
