State Debts.

We have been interested lately in look

some of our states and the manner in
which their finances are managed. II
has been the proud boast of Maine fol
years that economy and good business
management ruled in its councils, but
what can be said in view of the following
facts?
Wisconsin is clear of debt; New Jer
sey has been clear since Jan. l, 1902;
Nebraska paid off the last bonded in.
debtedness in December, 1901; West
Virginia has no bonded debt; the great
state of Illinois has a bonded indebted.

have ceased to draw interest but have
not been surrendered for payment
Iowa has bonded Indebtedness of less
than Sll 600; Pennsylvania has net In
debtedness of about $500, 600; Oregon has
no debt at all.
But when we strike New England,
things change. Massachusetts, has a net
direct debt of Sl3, 600, 900, and contin.

The Foreign Apple Markets.

Cable advices from all foreign apple
markets report them as very active, and
Notwithstanding arrivals are large, they
are cleared daily at good prices. All
fine red varieties in good condition are
selling to give nets from 81 to 80. 75 here
in Boston. Occasionally fancy lots OF
Kings sell to give nets here in Boston at
50. so to "a. Greenings and other cook
ing apples are in good demand, and sell
ing to give nets from 80 to $2.75.
Latest mail advices continue to speak
of the excellent demand for American
and Canadian apples. The great bulk
of the arrivals are in good condition,
and there seems to be no letting up in
the demand from home and Continental
buyers. Good prices are looked for for
another month or six weeks at least.
Growers should get their fruit forward
at once, and American and Canadian
apples should be marketed before the
advent of the Tasmanian fruit, which
commences to arrive in England at the
end of the year, and the crop is said te
be unusually fine and large. George A

hooks and inlets, imparting a thrill
and swell Of the general motion.

well knew before he undertook 1t.
A few of the leading men OF Vim

Fruit in London.

Judging from some of the prices quot
ed for fruit ut retail in the London mar
ket, it would be possible for American
fruit growers to export to the United
Kingdom an even larger amount than
we now send there. We find in the
London Telegraph of Oct. IL that cram
berries, which are rather small and not
of particularly good quality this year.
bring from eighteen to nineteen cents a
pound al retail. Good apples can be
purchased at about fifty cents dozen.
Grapes of the poorer and cheaper varie-
ty were selling at eleven cents pound,
while ounces could not be purchased
under eight cents each. If those are
ruling rates, they would seem to offer
an excellent opportunity for our fruit
growers. With modern methods OF
transportation, fruit can be delivered IN
London in excellent condition, and un-
less there is an exceptionally wide oil.

Prospects of Beef Prices.

The concensus of opinion among au-
thorities on the subject seems to be that
beef cattle will be well maintained dur
ing the coming season. The first effect
of short corn crop is generally a rush
of thin half-fed cattle upon the market,
with consequent tumble in prices. But
the present diminution in the corn crop
seems to have been fully discounted.
There is large amount of soft corn
which must be fed out, and this creates
an active call for feeders, maintaining
the prices for that class of stock. Pos
sibly they may hereafter crowd the mar
ket at times, but the feeling is generally
hopeful of good prices. The Chicago
Live Stock Market Reporter says:
Notwithstanding the prospect that
the corn crop will fall below an average
yield, We believe the outlook warrants
us in expressing the opinion that the
man who buys feeders at the prices now
prevailing and turns them into beef will
realize profit on his investment. How
large or how small that profit will be is
one of the things no man can say.
''Be the corn crop big or little we must
have beef. If corn is high there will be
fewer cattle fattened and as an inevitable
result prices for such will corresponding
ly advance. Because feeders bought
last fall at $500 and $3.50 failed to make
money is no reason that they are not a
safe investment at S4.O0 and $3.50, at
which prices good to choice we'll bred
feeders can be bought on the Chicago
market, with plain but useless class at
% and so cents per 100 pounds less.
"At the present time, in the very
height of the western cattle movement
and with enormous supplies of killing
cattle being poured into the market
from all sources, well fatted beeves COM
mand $500 or better, and there is every
reason to expect strengthening rather
than weakening fat cattle market, after
the grasses are through and the slaugh-
terers are again compelled to rely wholly
on the corn-fed product. Altogether we
consider the outlook for feeding much
better this fall than year ago. New
England Farmer.
