This $l5l 100000 in cash will pass
into the hands Of the producers, the
greater share of it from Chicago. AS
the season of 1874 opened with the
farmers comparatively full-handed
from the proceeds of their sales dur
ing the winter of 1873, they will this
year be in even a much better condi-
ton as to the supply of money. 1t is
true that the price of wheat has been
less than usual, but the advance in
all other grains has, in the aggregate,
more than compensated for the re-
duction in wheat.
This large sum of cash thus sent
to the farms all over the West, has
of necessity stimulated production in
other lines. This money is not
boarded. 1t is all expended in one
way OF the other for commodities not
produced on the farms 1t has kept
The general trade of Chicago and of
the West active during the fail, and
will continue to keep it so during the
winter. The manufacturers of Chi
cago, having customers thus prosper
Gus, are themselves, with their work
ingmen, made sharers in the general
prosperity OF the West.

farm sold in Chicago we have not in

"Sam Clover" says he has but few
changes to notice in our markets since
his last. Cow and beef horns quoted
at half cent per pound-no other horns
offered. The decline in the price of old
corn is owing to the large crop of locust
blossoms. The corn recently planted is
rising-for particulars enquire of the
crows that are now in the market as
consumers. The fruitful wheat prospect
has already stimulated the inquiry for
harvest whisky. The quantity requisite
to cut crop of twenty-five bushels to
the acre may be obtained from the re-
vised cables of the late "John Barley

notes in banks to pay harvest hands; it

them. The town clock is on ''strike

REMARKABLE ADVENTURE OF JER-
sEY CITY JoURNALlsT.-Ane x-editor of
Jersey City paper arrived at the Del
AVIAN House last evening aud tells the
following story: AS he approached
the Grand Central Depot New York,
yesterday morning to take the 1890
express, he noticed two very pretty and
elegantly dressed young ladies who
came up and treated him as an acquain-
lance, and he thinking it was case OF
mistaken identity thought he would
carry the thing through and have some
fun. They informed him that they had
procured a section in the drawing room
car and invited him to take a seat
therein. He did so and enjoyed a very
pleasant ride of two hours. On the ar
rival of the train at Poughkeepsie both
the ladies put their arms around his
neck and kissed him goodbye. He
stepped in the dining-room and ate
some lunch and returned to the train,
when, to his dismay and alarm, he
found he was minus his pocketbook,
containing two ten-cent stamps and
five cent piece-Brookiyn Argus, p.
