extraordinary price Of s37 per head; $50
sheep an aver age of $3.50 per head; corn
81 So per Dbl; cows $50 to $50: Prince AL
bert hogs $40 to SIS, and everything else
equally high.-The hog market looks ex-
ceedingly discouraging this fall, in fact
there is little encouragement for our far
mere. The markets have had downward
tendency for some time, with no telling
where II will end, As compared with pre-.

less than the average and our farmers are
getting rid Of their surplus as fast as they
can be put into marketable condition.
The present home prices now are 81 l2l to
S4.25 per ewt
