OUTLOOK FOR FARMERS
Has Seldom Been Better than
Just Now, Everywhere,
IRON PRODUCT is REDUCED
But This is Attributable to Tempo.
rary Causes The General Tone of
Business Healthy, and in
Most of Lines Rrlsk.

NEW YoRK, March 13.-R G. Dun
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: For
eign influences have again disturbed The
market little and increased the pre-
valsnt conservatism Of feeling. There
is more active speculation in breadstuffs
pork products and cotton, which have
all advanced, and the outlook for farm
ers has rarely been better at this season
than it is now.
OF the great industries nearly all are
employing labor fully, but the coke
strike and other causes have produced
a remarkable shrinkage in the output Of
iron. The weekly output OF all fur.
naces in blast March l, was but 1874, ,596
tons, q decrease OF 10 per cent in a
month. So great decline would be a
sign otimpending disaster II 1t were not
properly attributable in large measure
TO temporary causes.
The belief that the coke strike will
soon end in cheaper supplies Of fuel,
while the railroads west Of Pittsburgh
have Just agreed to reduce their charges,
prompts consumers to expect lower
prices soon, and though the market here
has better tone. Northern No. l is
quoted as low as Sl7, and Southern at
SIG 25. The rail combination has at last
been formed but the demand is small.
Bar iron Is weak, but in structural there
is more activity.
The prospect for the building trades is
rather dull here, but at other cities, par
ticularly west, 1t is remarkably brisk.
Wool manufacturing is doing remark
ably well, though the price OF goods do
not advance. The mills engaged on
dress good and knit goods are especially
active, and the worsted works are on
full time, with fair prices.
Boston notes more buyers Of boots
and shoes from all parts Of the country
than usual.
At Philadelphia the wool trade is ac.
tive with light supplies.
Pittsburgh notes no change in iron or
rails, but some improvement in window
glass.
Throughout the West complaints Of
slow collections grow more frequent,
and the money market, though no.
where positively stringent, is generally
firm. The volume OF business continues
larger than year ago, but the range Of
prices OF farm products included is over
10 per cent higher. The business fail
ures occurring through the country the
last seven days number 279 as compared
with total OF 265 last week. For the
corresponding week Of last year the
figures we're 252.

s25, 600 too much, bntin view OF the dis
position OF others In favor OF largel
amount, was willing to compromise OF
that.
Mr.. Miller, of Jackson, gave a few
interesting facts and figures. The ap'
preparation OF $4,000 would cost every
man in the State five and q half cents, II
he had to pay the amount in addition to
the regular tax, but taxation would not
be increased 10 pay 1t. 1t was that
amount that his friend from Putnam
feared would bankrupt the State. People
who own property will pay the appro.
priation, and the more they own the
more they will pay. The farmers will
not pay It all. They only constitute
one. ninth OF the people Of the State.
Col. Freer made quite an eloquent
speech in favor Of the original appropri-
ation and was followed by Col. White,
who said 1t had been said that the
appropriation bill at this session was the
biggest in the history Of the State. II
that was true, the answer was that the
State was greater than ever before in her
history, and for this reason needed
more money, and by aid OF proper
appropriation for the Worlds Fair ex-
pected to become greater and grander
than ever. People needn't be scared 1t
will not increase taxation one dollar.
His people paid taxes double the amount
paid by the farmers Of the State, pro.
portionately, OF course, and they didn't
kick about 1t.
When we 90 to Chicago the nations OF
the earth will be there. Will West Viz
sinia be there? Does not the patriotism
Of her people call for her to be there
with her coal and her iron and her great
timber wealth, TO show to the nations
OF the world the limitless wealth she has
within her borders.
THE APPROPRIATION ALL RIGHT.
Mr.. Simpson said at Philadelphia
West Virginia had as good an exhibit as
any State OF her siz4; she epent $50. 900
there and he didn't believe had ever
realized Eve cents worth OF benefit
from it.
The amendment was rejected by
vote OF 80 to "a, and Johnston then
moved to substitute $4,000. A vote
was taken and the amendment received
2S votes, with 27 against it.
Finley moved that the announcement
of the vote be postpsned to $3.50, but
seeing one OF his friends who had voted
for the amendment, he rushed over to
him and induced him to change, and
the amendment was declared defeated.
Thomas then moved to substitute S35,-
600. This was defeated by vote OF SO
to 10.
Dandtidge proposed to substitute ST..
500, but withdrew his motion before 1t
was put.
Mr.. Johnston moved to indefinitely
postpone the bill, but this was voted
down almost Overwhelmingly.
1t is largely due to Mr.. Finley's efforts
that the appropriation was not reduced,
and his action in the matter should long
be remembered by the people. The
speeches against 1t were remarkable
chiefly for the lack OF knowledge the
speakers displayed Of their subject. The
battle against itin the Senate was fought
intelligently, at least, but that can
hardly be said Of the fight in the House.
