THEN AND NOW.
War Prices of Marketable Pro.
ducts Compared With Pres
ent Prevailing Values.

From The Christian Advocate o.
February 10, 1868, we quote prices
then prevailing in the St. Louis
| wholesale market of diffel ent ar
ticies of commerce, and parallel
with these quotations we also give
the selling prices of the same COM
modities to-day, showing the diff
ference in the markets of now and
twenty-five years ago.
American gold was then selling at
al and silver at 1872. Hay sold al
from SIT to $40 per ton. Now it can be
bought from $3.50 to $12, the latter
price for very fancy.
Corn sold at 70 cents per bushel;
now it brings 25 to 80 cents.
Wheat sold at $2.65 per bushel /; it is
worth in st. Louis now 76 to 80 cents.
Oats brought Il cents per bushel;
prices now, II to 20 cents.
Ship stuff sold at $1.92 per 100 lbs,
1t is worth 60 cents now.
Lard was worth Is cents; 10 cents is
now the price.
The best flour was worth S13.75 pei
barrel.
Eggs sold at q to 80 cents /; they
now sell at 10 to II cents.
Timothy seed sold at $40 pei
bushel; price now, 80 cents to $1.25.
Clover seed sold at $s.25 per bushel;
now worth 81 so to So.
Hides were worth almost three
times as much then as they bring
now.
Coffee was about the same price
then as now-maybe a little higher;
Sugar was a little higher.
Salt sold at $500 per barrel; it is
now worth IS to 80 cents and 81.
Hemp sold at $2S5 per ton.
Washed wool brought 35 and 4t
cents.
Extra to choice cattle were worth
$3.50 to s. $50; the best cattle in the st,
Louis market sold on Feb'y % at S.. 20.
Hogs were worth S6.75 to 81; prices
now, from $685. to So. 80.
Horses at that time brought from
SIS to $500 per head and mules COM
manded about the same price-were,
perhaps, a little lower.
Sheep were very little-if any
higher then than now.
Tobacco headed all the market re-
ports at that time and seemed to be
the principal commercial article,
Prices ranged from $3.50 to $3.50 pei
100 pounds.
There were not enough hogs on the
| st. Louis market at that time to sup
ply the local demand and the sales Of
horses exceeded the receipts. Mules
were also in great demand.

First Chronicles.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, March 5.-Behold,
about this time, a mighty multitude
of voices in the region round about
Audrain shouteth aloud: Veal
yea !! we are good and true and we
are well worthy to sit in high
places and record the deeds of the
people, and collect the shekels of
our county.
Yea, verify, the people of Sailing
riseth up as one man and crieth
muchly and longeth for many fat
places. And they of the East End,
and even of the middle part, clamor.
eth for to stand at the door of the
county crib and also to be chief
among the scribes. Verify, verify,
I say unto you, the voice of the
candidate, as one crying in the
wilderness, is heard on every side,
saying
Howdy. howdy, how'de We do;
H0w's your wife and how are you,
Your children are how many. pray
Remember me on election day.
And, 10 | the sturdy wheeler
museth and he of the horny hand
sayeth to himself All is vanity
and vexation of spirit; whittier
shall we flee from the wrath to
come Of this generation of vipers?
For soms's been black and someis been green,
Yet some are as true as ever was seem
Some's got one leg and sOms's got two--
Good Lord, above, what shall We do?
But hearken unto me, ye stiff
necked and bull-headed, for verify,
verify, I say unto you: Broad is
the way, but narrow is the door
that entereth into Office, and few
who thinketh they be called will
enter therein. Selah Better is he
who hath a stalded OK than he
who entereth into an Office and
knoweth not how to handle it.
Better had he a mill stone hung
around his neck or be devoured by
the roaring young lions Of the
mountains Of Hepsidam. Of a
truth, though,
Some will laugh in and some cry in
And some get there by sin and lynn,
But after its over and the post all paid,
He's the lucky man who at home hath stayed
