Other Evidences of Improvement.

Other Evidences of mprovement
The New York Daily Bond Buyer has
an article going to show an improvement
in the business situation. 1t takes as its
text the quotations of municipal bonds,
which are not so subject to the specula-
tive irregularities as many other securi-
ties. The paper states that within three
weeks following the defeat of free silver
at the polls last November $33, 105, ia Of
municipal securities were sold, which had
been held up awaiting that result. The
restoration Of confidence has proceeded
since that time with gratifying effect on
these investments. Since Jan. l of the
present year municipals of the value of
$S4, S69,373 have been sold, an average
of $14, 1t4 800 per month, as against a
total of $50, 1872 and monthly aver
age of $S,7a5, 22S for the same period of
1896.

These quotations show that everything
except corr is higher than n year ago, and
the decline in corn (only 3 cents is due
to the fact that last years crop was the
greatest ever known, while the crop of
the year before was almost a failure.
Moreover, so far is it from being true
that cora is now selling Flower than ever
before" it is shown that even corn is high
or now than on many occasions in former
years. and higher than it was last Sep
tember, which was "before the last cleo
ton" So the Register demands with
some pertinency: why did this conven-
ton lie even about corn?"
But the comparison does not stop with
grain. Here is an exhibit of prices of
livestock at Chicago now and one year
ago, like grades being stated in both
years:
