THE SPECIE QUESTION.


Paris, August 2O.-Mr. Say, in his ad.
dress at the monetary conference yesterday,
stated that the policy of France was to
await a moment when che could revert 10
the free mintngc of silver. The Swiss re.
preventative said that while agreeing with
the present cxpectant attitude of the Latin
union as desired by Say, Switzerland look
ed forward to gold standard as the alter
nate solution of the question of coinage
Gaschen argued that the free mintage of
silver will be impossible. The rejection of
that proposal, however. is to be regretted,
as the public would consider it as a con.
demnation of the monetary use of silver.
The object aimed at should be the main
tenance Of silver as companion of gold,
wherever possible, rs the universal disuse
Of silver would provoke terrible cricis.
He added that an agreement for universal
gold standard might force England to re-
consider her policy of maintaining the sill
yer coinage of India intact.

Yankton, Aug 1G, 1s7s-Thc market tor cattle,

has increased somewhat, owing to cooler wealth

stock they need. Chickens and eggs are scarce,

busy and have no time to come to market.

The supply Of horses is equal to the demand
and can be bought at reasonable prices The
prices of horses vary so much that it is a very
difficult matter to give ruling price. Good
farm horses and mares can be bought from Ssl
to Sl2o; pings and inferior grades from $40 to
SG5' Heavy work horses, none offering, and it is
not likely this kind Of horses would find buyers

prices Well bred, fancy driving horses none in

we are not able to decide. 1t seems to US that
the breeding of heavy draught horses should at
once become part of every Dakota farmers
greatest interest for several reasons II will not
be long until Dakota will have more horses that
will be needed at home. The farmers then will
have to seek market in the east. In order tc
be able to realize good and paying prices they
must have the kind of horses that will meet the
demand of the eastern market-that is, two
kinds, heavy work horses or well bred, good
steppers. The first, every farmer can raise with
out much additional expense; the latter requires
time and money. 1t seems to us that where
horses can be raised SO cheaply as they can be in
Dakota, that:cvery farmer should have enough in.

study.
