Sioux Falls Pantagraph Aug. z,
This season has done more for southeastern
Dakota, in showing its prominence as a
wheat section, than any previous in its
history. From everywhere about us comes
news Of almost total destruction of crops,
where We are blessed with an average of 6f-
teen bushels to the acre. The damage which
the whole country sustained by calamitous
weather will operate to run up the price of
wheat 80 that the amounts realized by our
farmers upon sales Of their surplus will not
be much short Of what they would have re.
ceived had there been full crops everywhere.

Mich cows are somewhat in demand as they
always are at this season of the year, and bring
good prices.
The Offering of horses for work and farm use
is limited at present. There is not much demand
until after harvest, for this class of stock. We
are not fully prepared to give reliable figures,
such as buyers ought to have, but will in few
days. There is great improvement in the ap-
pearance of all kinds of stock this year over that
of last. We hope to see it continue. The farm
er who best cares for his stock will receive the
largest price when he sells, and always finds
buyers.
