IMPORTANT FACTS!

The Dispatch says that owners Of
real estate, Oh account Of the good
crop prospects, are stiffening in
their prices. But that is not the
case with Us. We are selling cheaper
than ever before, and we intend to
keep it up. We have large
amount of the best property, and
we are going to give somebody else
chance to make money on it. Prop
erty that is for sale at all is really
so PER CENT cheaper than it was
a year ago. and there is no use de-
nying it. The boarding up of money
all over the world. as a consequence
of the London panic of last Deem
Der, was the cause of this fall in
prices, and the continued scarcity
of money. since then has kept them
from rising. This is really a good
thing for us all, for it gives people
a chance to buy cheap and make
money, and will bring on activity
very soon. Hence, when the money
comes in from the crops towards
the end of the winter. there will be
an active market, and prices will
soon rise; so buy. now, while you
can,

Review of the Market.

Henry Clews in his Financial Rerie,c, issued
today, says: 1.-The recent upward movement on
the stock exchange proved irresistible. Moth
ing equaling it either in force or character has
been seen in years. Based on the soundest Of
all foundations. the profuse generosity Of nature
and o healthy national prosperity, 1t 10 evil
IDENTIFY impossible to seriously check the
spirit OF buoyancy thus impaired In the
course of time IL will undoubtedly
run to excess; 1t will also be accom-
panied by fluctuations Of varying severity; it
may be that in some instances the advance is
already beyond reason; but the one great fact
remains. that Of all nations on the earth we are
this year most wonderfully favored in respect
to the products Of the soil. With assured
plenty at home and scarcity abroad, the farm
ing classes Of the United States have before
them period of prosperity to which they have
long been strangers
Another feature Of strength is tho foreign
buying of American securities. Opinion re-
garding American investments is again chang
ing In their favor, for the obvious reason that
they afford safer and better returns than those
of any other country, besides possessing a
ready market at ak times for their
sale. The threatening aspect OF European
politics only serves to strengthen this
feeling; for, while Sudden crisis might cause
temporary realiZations, it is well understood
that the United States would in the end suffer
least of all nations in such conflict and that,
therefore, her securities would be the most
desirable investment Should gold continue to
