have every reason to congra ulate themselves
the present position and future OUTLOOK
Prices during the wet X have been somewhat
irregular, fluc uations occurring in co'toh,
meats and lard, cattle, drugs and several ar
tlcles OF country produce. The weather has
been very warm and dry, slight shower q
rain having fallen In the early part
Of the week, but not snihcl'nt
80 counterfeit the effects Of the drouth. ih'
indications at this writing are not fsvorbe
for an early rain, and the consequence Is that
farmers are rather gloomy over crop pros
naCta.
