farming implements, dry goods, clothing,
groceries, etc, indicates a healthier condition
of affairs In the Northwest, and the South
west, also, it may be added, for Chicago has
extended her trade with characteristic enter
prise into Missouri, Utah, Kansas, Nebraska,
and even to Texas. These new fertile regions
Of the Union are being rapidly developed by
farmers and stock-raisers, and, OF course,
their requirements are varied ard large,
including lumber and pretty nearly
all kinds OF merchandise. The ra-
pdity with which the new West Is
being settled Is extraordinary, Kansas alone
having received 100000 new settlers last
year, and Kansas papers predict an even
larger influx this year. the magnificent crops
and letters written by settlers to their friends
having created desire upon the part Oh
people In the East to move In the dlrectiQn
that the course OF empire Is so evldehCiy
taking It's way. Already this year the rail-
roads have brought good number OF settlers
to Kansas, and there is also an increasing I'M
migration to Texas. A gentleman VINO estap-
aished himself on O. ranch In texas shOrtly
before the war, and YVES compelled TO abandon
the undertaking at that time. has returned
thither and writes that there has been In
some respects q great advance IN what ne mas
seen Of the Lone Star State. Along sthe line
n the railroad from Houston to San Antonio,
thriving villages are located at not much
GREATER distances apart than the lonely ranch
6ouses were then Hundreds Of thousands OF
acres Of land are now under fence which were
omen Draire, free to all kinds of stock fifteen
Years ago. and OF these thousands OF acres
very many are producing fine crops OF sugar,
cotton wheat corn and oats.

1t is noted as a significant fact that re-
Gently Western butter has been selling In
New York city at prices considerably higher
than the fayorite State" butter which has
stood at the head Of the market for 80 many
years. Western butter factories running
winter and summer make it hot for the old
fashioned New York State dairy system.
They turn out butter by the car load. Of uni
form quality, freshly made. and transac-
tions In 1t are oftentmes made for thousands
OF packages at single sale" The reason
for the superior quality of Western butter
is the fact that Western cows are fed largely
on the heavy grains, oats and corn meal and
never on the lighter feeds, such as bran.
swills, ETC., and this grain feeding produces
not only volume, but richness. fur
nishing a butter having the natural color
and quality desired and in demand.

The business OF marine insurance compa-
MES ON both sides OF the Atlantic Is In de-
pressed condition, the statistics for the last
two years showing an excess Of losses over
gains in the case of the great majority OF
companies. This is explained by the marked
depression Of the shipping interests, the
losses sustained In some cases, and the COM

their own underwriting, while an unusually
large amount OF tonnage is left wholly uncov-

ducng the price only three cents pound in
Bower, and four cents on the better grades.
The average retailer will, however, be slow to
accept this conclusion, and we shall not be
surprised If the ultimate reduction In manu-
heturers' prices corresponds with the change
lin the tax
