The Business Prospect.

Good crops being assured, the next
question is as to prices, and these must
De governed largely by the foreign de-
mand. The advices from Europe show
that there will be large deficiency in
the supply of grain, and that the for
eign demand will take the entire sur
plus of the United states at full prices.
Wheat is probably lower now than IL
VIII be at any future time up to next
harvest, and the indications are that
oats and corn will command higher
prices than the average of the last wear.
Hogs are high-S7 to $3.50 per 100 lbs.
gross. This is SO above last yearis
average. Hog products have advanced
seVenty-hVe per cent. since the close of
the last packing season, and by the in
coming of the next winter crop the
market will be bare of provisions. 1t
is hardly to be expected that hogs will
sell through the winter as high as thew
are now quoted, but they will sell
much above last years average. A
large proportion of the heavy corn crop
VIII, therefore, be put into pork at good
prices. Europe will also take a large
amount OF corn, at fair prices. Last
year the shipments of corn to Furope
were large, and these are steadily in
creaslng.
The stocks of cotton goods are light,
and when the demand from con-
sumers springs up, as it must, factories
that have been half or wholly idle
will be set in full motion in this coun-
try and in Europe, so that with an in
creased crop of cotton remunerative
prices may be expected.
With good crops and good prices
then, nothing can occur to prevent
revival of business. Money, which
has been scarce in the country, will be
In good supply as soon as the crops
move. This will give farmers and |
merchants something else to think |
about than hard times and a scarcity of |
currency, and il will also give full en- |
ployment to railroads and steamboats,. |
IL VIII tax the transportation lines, by |
both rail and water, to remove the |
great crops this year as they have not
been taxed for many seasons past.
Although the prospects are most |
charming, with good crops and a |
heavy foreign demand at full prices,
the autumn business will be in mark
ed contrast with that of a year ago, and |
the prospects are that, when the frost
falls, merchants, instead of finding it
10 sell their goods, will have
more difficulty in finding goods to
meet the demand.
