HAPPY FARMERS.
The Rise In Wheat VIII Give The m Money
To Pay Their Debts.

Washington, August 27-Assistant
Secretary Brigham of the agricultural
department, today expressed the opinion
that the American farmers this year
would receive in the aggregate from four
to five hundred million dollars in excess
of that received last year for their wheat.
'This," he said, means much to the
farmers. They have learned in the sea-
son of hard times to economic where
they could and to be careful in buying.
They will use this money they receive
for their crops to pay off their debts, can
Gel mortgages and in making improve
ments on the farm and farm buildings.
This seems like vast sum, but satisfies
sustain the claim.''
Col. Brigham also predicted that the
increase in the price of farm products
would benefit the laboring element.
The price of larbor", he said, did
not decline with the price of farm pro-
ducts and for some time the farmer was
forced to pay as much for the services of
those who did this work as ever, while
his receipts were cut in two. Inasmuch
as wages did not decline, 1 see no reason
why this should be expected to rise to cor
respond with the advance of farm pro-
ducts which are now bringing only fair
prices. Still, the laboring man will be
benefited by this advance in prices The
farmer will discharge his indebtedness
and make improvements which will re-
quire labor. He will purchase more of the
products of labor, putting vast amount
of money In circulation and this will
create demand for labor in all lines and
men who have been without employment
or only partially employed, will work
full time at fair wages

Prospects in Canada Also Better.

New York, August 27.-R. G. Dun &
Company on Canadian trade: Canadian
reports are somewhat more encouraging
Large crops in Nova Scotia and Prince
Edward Island, excepting the fruit crop,
make the trade prospects better. Collec-
lions are fair and failures few. Quebec
reports trade in most lines somewhat
larger than last year with collections fair
Iy good. At Montreal rather moro de-
mand is reported in several leading lines
and prospects are more encouraging.
Collections are fair. The weather has
been unfavorable for harvesting and some
damage to grain is reported. At Toronto
wholesale trade is fairly active and or
ders for fall dry goods are coming in free
ly. The iron and hardware business are
very satisfactory and payments are good.
Winnipeg reports more than average activ.
ity, and good average yield and quality
of wheat of which 60 per cent is harv
ested. Victoria reports less activity in
wholesale trade, the outftting business
having abated, but retail trade fully as
good as last week with fair collections.
