The Cincinnati Gazette furnishes
hopeful view of business prospects.
1t thinks the autumn business will be
in marked contrast with that OF year
ago, and founds its hope upon good
crops at home, and foreign de-
mand that will take the entire sur
plus at full prices. Itconcludes that
wheat is probably lower now than 1t
will be at any future time up to next
harvest. and that the indications are
that oats and corn will command
higher prices than the average of the
last year. Then, hogs are high-$7
to 81 per 100 TBS. gross. This is
So above last years average. Hog
products, continues the Gazette, have
advanced seventy-fve per cent. since
the close of the last packing season,
and by the incoming of the next win
ter crop the market will be bare of
provisions. 1t is hardly to be ex-
pected that hogs will sell through
the winter as high as they are now
quoted, but they will sell much above
last years average.
These are cheering indications.
The Gazette may well say, that the
crops are the foundation upon which
all other interests depend. When
these are good and prices remunera-
tive, the result of an active demand, we
may in truth hope for an active bust
ness in all departments of trade.

Is THE ROSS ABDUCTION
SHAM?

The Philadelphia papers are begin
ming to ask this question, and with a
show of reason. \ resume of the case
i'm the New York Heroid shows many
