gard to the outlook for 1891
NJ Z. RUSSELL
4 think that in the light Of cash
trade that is asserting itself the out
look is better. People generally are
economizing and living on Il cash
basis. Everything thatfarmers have
to buy is cheap ,consequently the out
look to my mind is encouraging. Our
cash trade for the month has been
equally az good. If not better, than
| last month. :
J. NJ. GOA,
The outlook seems to be little
better. Money is cheaper and there
is more confidence than there was
this time last year; But you cansay
another thing for me, don't believe
there will be any material develop
ment in the country until silver is
again recognized as money.
LOUIS ROTH.
q think the outlook is brighter
than it was this time last year. Par
mers generally are ia better fix;
large number Of them have meat
enough to last them throughout The
year. They have learned to do with
Il great dead less than in former
years. Il we have no bad luck this
year. the country will be herself
once more

I think the prospects are brighter
than they We're in IS; they certainly
can't get any worse. Just as long as
the farmer III this country continues
to get his meat and bread from KAN
sas and Missouri, tic country will be
no better off. / think the farmers
make Il great mistake in not diyersi-
Tying their crops. As long as cotton
is king in this country we will do a
certain amount Of business and no
more. esp .ially at 50 low a PRICE
ALEX PERDUE.
Well, the season has hardly gone
far enough TO know definitely, but
from what I can gather. from our
customers l find that they are in bet
ter condition than they We're at this
time last year think ii there is
any change at all it will be for the
better
CARL v0ss.
q think the outlook is better. We
will undoubtedly be in better
shape this year. The cash basis is
asserting itself. The credit system
has ruined this country SO far.
H.C. McGAuGIlY.
81 don't think the outlook is alto
gether gloomy. Assoon as the tariff
question is settled the general trade
OF the country viii be better The
outlook is brighter than it was this
time last year but decided change
will hot take place Immediately.
Farmers are living more at home
and the good that Will he accom-
plished will be permanent
{. T. ROBINSON.
i think he outlook iscncouraging,
provided Congress don't squanlel
too much time ON the Wilson bill.
AS soon as that is settled everybody
will SO to work again Business SO
far this year has been very satisfac-
tory.
\. $. H0NNIsT.
Il hardly know what TO say.
There willnot be as many risks taken
this year as last consequently the
year cannot be as disastrous as was
last year
K. a. WARE.
u think the hill farmers have corn
and meat sufficient for their own use
and some 70 sell The hill country
is in better fix than it has been for
years. | cannot say so much fol. the
bottoms. Under the circumstances
think the outlook is exceedingly
bright
Il. G.ATKlNsoN
Times are not going to get any
better until the people make them SO.
There is too much idIeHess and E4zi-
ness in the country. Farmers must
work more and harder There is too
much eroalsing The country viii be
just what We make It. .
Or Opinion.
The city editor has. during the

Der OF our business men fer the pur-
pose Of getting their opinions as to
the outlook for the year 1884 These

batim as they were given to us,
and necessarily having been i'm
pressed with the responses given to
us we have formed an opinion OF our
own. In the interviews we have
been impressed with the ready and
