STAUNTON. VA, February IT, 1890.
The fine weather for outdoor farm-worB,
which has. in the main, characterized the
winter months. has been wisely taken ad
vantage of by our farmers, who are also avail
ing them selves of the open season for the
liberal offerings of surplus products. AS re-
peatedIy stated, good wheat sells readily for
80 cents, which. If compared with the Eastern
markets, shows this to be equal to- If not
higher for the best wheat than those markets.
Hay continues dull. but as with wheat, our
producers manifest willingness to sell at the
reduced prices which every where prevail
with our staple crops.
The growing wheat, which did not look well
in some sections of the Valley, has very much
improved during the last four weeks, and the
prospect for better yield on some fields en-
HANGED.
Asfeported recently, that the harvest of the
countries reaping in our winter months would
be fuller than the previous year, is fully con-
f1rmed. Thus the charging fields of wheat
production relieve the United Kingdom and
other purchasing countries of all apprehension
of having to pay more than low price for the
bread,tuffs they will draw from our Atlantic
Coast during the last half of our exporting
year
The small products of the farm, as we'll as
all of the garden. are in good supply.
The price current is without change.
