dences Of reviving property are the
more important because prices for man.
ufactured products have advanced but
moderately and are much below the
level Of 1899. Speculation in wheat and
cotton has been set back by bright
crop prospects. The wheat estimate is
about 20 million bushels more than will
be required for food and seed.
The heads of the various executive
departments here are working ON their
annual estimates and reports in antici-
patton of the converting of Congress in
December. Secretary Wilson has out-
lined the subjects to which lie will call
the attention of Congress and the Presi-
dent. He will ask for n considerable
increase in his appropriation for at
least three important branches of the
work of the Department of Agriculture,
viz, the Weather Bureau. the Bureau
Of Animal Industry, and Farmers Bull
letins. The Secretary claims that the
facilities Of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry for the inspection of meat in
tended for foreign shipments are over
taxed, and it is his intention to urge
that the experiments already made by
that bureau in the shipment of butter
to England should be followed by more
work in that line. The shipments thus
far have produced excellent and en-
c%ouraging results, an Indication being
that n representative of English firms
has recently been in Iowa, buying up
all available butter for export. There is
a growing demand for farmers bulle-
tins, and the Secretary desires to in
a largely the circulation of this
document, but he cannot do so to any
extent without u larger appropriation.
The year ending with September,
1897, has put the finishing touches upon
the explosion Of the theory that silver
and wheat went "kand in hand" Some
figures brought forth from the publi-
cations Of the Bureau Of Statistics Of
the Treasury Department show an in
teresting state Of affairs with respect to
the relative values of wheat and silver.
On Sept. I, 1896, IN ounce Of silver and
q bushel Of wheat in the New York
markets we're Of equal value. On Sept.
1, 1897, just n year later, the bushel
Of wheat was equal in value to two
ounces a silver. The thermometer
shows in a unique way the upward
purse Of wheat and the corresponding
downward cours Of silver.

is now talk of fast mail line being es-
tablished between Milford and the New

from here to DeLamar in 16 hours. 1t
now takes 3G hours, Thus It will prac-
tically bring the two points 20 hours
closer together. from business stand
