The Outlook,

Farmers, wool is advancing; hold q
while longer.
Agricultural implements will be HIGHER
the coming season than they were last.
1t is believed that there will be laroor
acreage of potatoes planted the cominr
season in the West than ever before >
Coal is so scarce and HIGH in some
-partS OF the West that young people en-
gagged III cOurting have to sit in e,rb
others laps to keep warm.
ihere IS a corner in the hay market
and the price isn't done going Hp. ~ if
now appears. The best timothy in the
Philadelphia market now sells at s2j Der
ton.
Railroad stocks are up; even bank
rupt Reading is at 3lJ Interest rates ON
farm mortgages in the West are down
below 10 aHd bid fair to 90 lower I'm
the Eastern States the ruling rate is }.
The prospects are very favorable, in all
parts of the country, beginning eastward
and in cities, for increased activity in tho
real estate market and an advance in pri
ces. In fact such revival is inevitable
Potatoes are surely creeping uD in
price. The big snow storm made furry
that sent the price up for little while to
81 per bu~hcl in this UctaiD market.
Those who have seed to buy should be on
the lookout
The short hay crop Of last summer aud
the consequent high price now. united
with the fact Of an early and hard winter.
tend to keep down the price of milcb
cows, Notwithstanding the high prices of
dairy products.
There appears to he nothing in the
outlook that will make the cheese market
untavorable the coming season. The
amount mlde in England is reported 4
small, with comparatively light stock NJ
home held back
The demand for horses is Increasing
and Is pretty sure to be good for several
years to come so that farmers of the
West will find that it will pay better than
heretofore to engage in the breeding and
rearing Of this class of stock.
We find along the wharves Of Fhila-
delpha and on Water street, apples are in
abundant supply Grcenings sell ut from
81 - to - per barrel Baldwins at -
Splits, - p and - 80, and Kings about
the same. Sweet Potatoes are worth
from $3.50 to s..
The foreign demand for black walnut
timber Is very large now. Agents for
English manufacturers have recently been
through Iowa, Indiana. and MISSOURI for
the purpose Of bdying this wood and
have largely succeeded. Farmers should
learn to prize such valuable timber.
When the mercury goes 10 below zero
dead are the germs of next summers
peach crop Stick a pin there. DO not
expect many peaches next season; and
for that matter look out for light crop of
fruit generally and large crop of dana
@ed fruit trees. For the mercury was
below 10.
1t is just little the best for the aver
age farmer to secure his clover seed early
and then he will be sure of having some
at sowing time without fear Of having to
pay some Specnator two prices for sup
ply The money kings are having a
keener scent than ever for chances to
corner the markets and they are as likely |
to Int on clover seed as anything else
The price now Is from to cents Der

is for sale Is from the crop of 1879
