Condition of wheat.

The wheat crop Of the west this year Is
also very fine and what may be considered
as really the most important crop Of all
the grass crop-is exceedingly good,
The census tells us there has been a
great increase during the last ten years in
the number of cattle in the United States.
This information, taken together with the
fine crop Of grass, insures lower prices Of
meat. | don't believe the price Of meat,
however, will ever be as low as it has been
in the past for the simple reason that the
American people are more prosperous than
ever before and are eating more meat than
ever before.
However, the exceedingly high prices OF
meat will be a thing of the past as soon as
the present feeders get fattened up to a
beef condition. Another thing that will tend
to keep the price of meat a little above the
former lower price is the demand Of Eng
