The tidal wave OF prosperity and renewed
business confidence which is sweeping over
this great agricultural section OF the Middle
West, has swept too far TO make u neces-
sary 70 talk Of good prospects. Business
prosperity is q real thing right here I'm our

felt by every line Of business from producer
TO manufacturer.

] expect n revival Of business from the fol-
lowing causes: our wheat crop Is the largest
ever harvested ln this state. and prices are
very satisfactory; large mills are being
erected TO grind -four for China and Japan
and while the steamship service Is first-class
yet many more boats Will have to be added
to accommodate this immense four aud mer-
camille trade with the orient. The Eastern
demand for our cedar shingles IS something
enormous, and good prices are being paid.

Times arc already better in Wyoming.
Debts, notes and mortgages of long stand
ing are being paid our banks have plenty
Of money received from this source. There
is an increased demand. and higher prices
for cattle and sheep caused 10y the duty on
hides and Mexican cattle and on wool, which
is also going up In price.

Considering the state as whole, Kansas
has excellent crops this year. The failure
Of the grain supply In other parts OF the
world has naturally resulted In n great de-
mand for Western grain and better prices
therefor My Judgment Is that this Will i'm
prove our fall trade without doubt.
