Foolish Prices

Many people nre thinking Of locating
in Frederick County, but just as soon
as some stranger inquiries the price Of
some particular piece Of property, our
foolish people think they have snap
and forthwith press up in price for
their property. This is the greatest
70 ,lishness. Strangers are not fools by
any means; they know what they
want and know what things are worth.
If there are lands for eale put them AT
reasonable prices; the idea Of anyone
asking two or three prices for a place
when the buyer will make every in-
curry before purchasing. You may
ask big price. hut some one else will
sell their place for reasonable sum;
remember there are others.

The Business Prospect.

Says "Macy 4 Pendleton's Weekly
Report: Very few business men are
looking backward and comparatively
few pretend TO see very far ahead.
Hopeful views predominant on Wall
street. Congress is expected as usual
to furnish fresh opportunity for some
renewal of demagogue controversy
and doubtful propositions, temporarily
unfavOrable To the prices of stocks and
securities, will be brought forward, as
the season progresses. 1t is thought,
however, by many, that this Congress
will prove to be much wiser than its
predecessor and that it will develop
enough good legislation To fully offset
anything bad, TO the lasting benefit Of
business and values. Prices of farm
products are favorable to business pros
poets, the one exception being cotton,
which ought to be and probably is now
around lowest prices for the large
crop. There is an abundance of every
thing, all rather tending to surplus;
money not excepted. In a general
way, and from the New York stand
point, there seems good encourage
ment that the checking of the up
ward progress of security prices is
about over and that new buying will,
during coming weeks, give traders a
favoring winter market.
