people, though claim that they have already
put up the price two dollars per hundred above
what 1t would have been, if the movement
hadn't been made.
Nearly every body in the West regards
the new crop with d very skttish eye and
ali seem TO fight shy Of it-nobody has any
faith in handling IL, except the manu-
facturers who are taking 1t freely.
