St. Paul daily globe., 1884-09-10

subject for lunatic asylum. Prices
are low, very low; but as was shown last week
there seems no help for it and the sooner the
farmer makes his mind up TO this the
better. But the circumstances not so very
desperate after all and perhaps the following
figures may be some comfort to farmers who
have not thought the matter over. Suppose
farmer last year raised 12 bushels to the acre
and this year IS bushels and we have
1888, II bushels at S1.13. Sf3. Sc
1884, Is % .75 5............ 1880
In favor of 1888. .O6
And suppose we take 10 bushels for the average
of last year and IS for the present and then
the difference in favor of last year is five cents
per acre. Even supposing there should not be
so great difference in crops and greater diff
ference in price; say ten bushels for SO at 81 20
and twelve bushels for 'S4 at zoe then the far
mers income would be about 2s per cent less.
But he should bear in mind that groceries, dry
goods and we'll nigh every commodity are from
25 to so per cent. lower than they were last year
so that after all the farmer is no worse off
but on the contrary he is great deal
better off for the crop is this season more even
and general, and there are no farmers with moth
ing or next to nothing as there was last year.
The movement of wheat at this point during the
past week has been very light, the total receipts
at the elevators were but 5,6l6 bushels, and the
2,0U
bushels were for the St. Paul mills Street re-
ceipts, from farmers wagons, were
more liberal, amounting to about
1000 bushels per day. Street prices
are G2c for No. regular, and &c for No, l regu-
lar. Receipts of corn have been more LIBERAL
but nearly the whole shipped in has been No. 8,
and the price 47c to buy and sellers 49c. The
receipts Of oats have. been considerably larger,
being $4,000 bushels against %, 900 for the pre-.
vious week, but prices have been about steady.
Barley, although more liberal in supply than the
previous week, does not come in very freely.
1900 bushels being the entire receipts: prices
have advanced &c. The shipments
of flour for the past week
have been quite trifing. The mills having been
closed down, the production was for the time
stopped. The mills started up again on Monday
last. Notwithstanding the great reduction in
the price of wheat. flour has not been reduced.
Ground feed and millstuffs have been steady and
the amount handled slightly in excess of the
previous week. There has been a more liberal
supply of hays but prices have
huctuated considerably, rising sometimes
as mnch dollar when the receipts fell short
of the demand, but the quotabe price for wild
hay is $500. Fruit continues active, and al
though receipts have considerably fallen off a
considerable amount has been handled during the
week. There are but very few changes in quo
tations: grapes, plums and pears are little
easier but apples sitter. Butter is very quiet
iny stocks. Bacon and hams are very firm and
steady. Mess pork a shade higher but it is not
thought that higher figures than S1S so will be
reached, but on the contrary decline will be re-
corded before many days. Hides tallow and
wool are quiet and dull; brewers materials
steady. Linseed oil has not undergone any fur
ther decline. Spring chickens continue in good
demand. Prairie chickens are in better supply.
