rants a sharp adv ancC but the trade Ia hold
ing of pursuing conservative course and
the Boston market Is now the lowest in the
country. The reason given for not getting
better prices and making larger remittances
10 the farmers. is that 1t Is so near the season
OF large arrivals of fresh goods when prices
must go lower. that IL a boom is started now,
the reaction will be sure TO come very soon
and be all the more disastrous. The high
price OF grain is operating to reduce the
| quality Of many Of the arrivals, 30 that very
| little commands the extreme price.
