High Prices of Wheat.

In 1867 wheat was very scarce In the
country before the harvest OF that
year, says Orleans Republican. A
farmer bought about 6S.O00 bushels,
nearly all Of it from July 28th TO Octo-
Der 10th, and not a single bushel under
81 and from that up to $40; most Of
It cost from $40 to S2.25 per bushel.
They ground from 1000 to 100
bushels per day when everything ran
all right. They sold Belts & Bailey
sixteen barrels OF the -four at
SIG per barrel for retailing and sold
some flour at their Eagle Harbor mill
for S1S per barrel. Mr.. Tanner fur
Their says that he once paid the late
Ira Hanford (he cannot recall the year.
$1,000 per 100 pounds for three dressed
hogs. and he once paid the late Nor
man Bennett $500 per bushel for
beans. No wonder farmers accumulat-
