PARSONS in all thelarge cities. Even
at Cincinnati, which is near the
source Of supplies, both in the West
and South, the increase 10 all farm
products within a year averages "a

is ll9 per cent, on apples 100, corn

speculative is still a disputed ques-
ton, but it is argued from past ex-
periences that a continued abun.
dance of money in the country is
likely TO maintain present prices, or
send them higher. One good result
Of the increase is to make up TO the
farmers in prices what they have
lost by shortage. And, as the pros.

basis of general good times, the econ,
