All kinds of breadstuffs are in good demand
and better prices are realized than Tor such

not been so fortunate Political trouble how
ever, has as much to do with the matter as has
the low price Of cotton, at which the greater
part of the crop has been sold. 1t the country
has fair crops this year the next autumn bLsi-
ness ought to be among the best done for many
years.
