No. com, o6 Ia cents
Com over wheat. .....-.................4 cents

I This condition OF the market; nor Is It proba.
bic thAtit will long continue. The high price Of
beef, pork, and highwines must have mora to
do with this than tho shortness ot
the corn crop. It does not appear
probable that The price Of corn will be mAte-
rally lower, but that wheat must advance
under tho presont prospect Of much lessened
crop for 1870. The winter wheat crop hAs a
fair average prospect At thia writing but from
what I can learn the screa1e in ]asa Than for

lam aw.-o that much has been said and
written on this subject, bat the facts have not
been brought home to the farmers on the prai-
rie. They have looked upon it as something
z,1u.,Io for other parss AZ the country, hut
not applicable to ourselves, and Just here is
the mistake.
