Better Prices Promised for Farm Pro-
ducts.

The american Agriculturist estimates that
farm products will be one billion dollars
more in the United States than they have
been during the recent years of depression.
The crops of wheat, corn and oats it estimates
at 1913 greater than last year and AT over
the average of he preceding eleven years.
It believes that unless unexpected events &C.
cur the value of corn on the farm will aver
age in December fully fifty cents bushel
wheat 81 per bushel and oats at least forty
cent?. At these prices, with good crops,
farming will be more remuneratiye than it
has been for years past.
The AgricuEturist adds
Cotton and rice will command better prices
than last season. Cattle are worth one-third
more than eighteen months ago, with other
live stock in proportion. Tobacco is advanc-
ing heavily for cigar leaf, contracts being
made for the crop in the field at an advance
of Is to 30 per cent over last year. Hops
are firm at good prices, winter fruit will COM
mand large values and all vegetables are
yielding fairly, with every indication of re-
munerative market. The export outlook was
never better; immensely increased sums will
be sent to the United States for our product.
The distress in Germany on account of the
high price of bread is great and growing, but
the government will not, it is said, abolish
the duties on grain. In Astrakhan, Russia,
near the Caspian sea, several villages are re-
ported to be almost depopulated, many of the
people having starved to death and others
have left for more favored regions.
The failure of the crops in Russia and
throughout Europe is certain to make large
" increased foreign demand, but the fear is
expressed that if prices are inflated the wheat
garners of India will be emptied into Europe
and the market broken.
The uncertainty with regard to the action

ton of the grain markets of Europe has oaus-
