that wheat is gong to cone down, as thu
visible supply in the world Is greater
than the demand, and In England markets
are weak. India wheat has begun to
arrive IN England via the Seuz canal,
which England now controls, and serious
fears are entertained that this source OF

M, X. q T. LAND DEpARrMENr.
Heavier Sales OF Land shan Ever
Before.


The 81, X. & T. Land Department OF
this city sold about 1000 acres OF land
during the month of April, this year,
which Is six times the amount sold in
the corresponding month OF last year.
The proportion of cash payments IL In
about the same ratio. The expense to the
company Of disposing Of these lands is
very much lighter than ever before, ow-
ing to the present efficient management
OF this department. Nearly ali these
lands have gone into the hands OF actual
settlers, or those who are to become such
within : year.
The Land Department is doing a good
thing for Kansas by advertising her IA
ciIities anu advantages far and near, and
by bringing to our State hundreds and
thousands OF capitalists and settlers.
Its management Is perfect, everything
moving like clock works, and we judge
the company is well satisfied with the act
Of removing the Office to this city. Our
eastern readers who wish information In
regard to the Neosho Valley will obtain II
