OUT IN KI0WA COUNTY.
FARMERS Have Plenty of Hogs and
Corn But Holding for Better Prices.

Havfland, Kan, Dec. 19.-Rain to the
amount of one inch has fallen in this
part OF the state in the last few days.
Monday night there was about three
lnches of snow fell.
The rain and snow has put the
ground in fine condition for the wheat.
The low price of hogs has been about
the only thing that has caused the
farmers OF the county to feel any of
the effects Of the Currency stringency.
The butter and egg money that has
been dug up by the good house wife
has carried them over in good shape
Corn is being marketed freely at 40
cents per bushel, and some wheat has
been delivered, but most farmers that
have wheat in their bins will hold it
for the spring market, but the surplus
corn will be mostly marketed this
month, partly on account of lack of
granary room, and partly because 40
cent corn looks good to the most of
farmers.
There is probably % per cent more
hogs in this county at the present time
than at any one time since it's organi-
cation, and of a far better quality, but
cattle are scarce, as cattle men have
mostly invested in grain and hogs.
Politics is very quiet out here. There
will be no opposition to the present
member of the big Seventh. Judge
Madison is very popular here as a man
in congress will be closely watched.
There are good many people that
think congress should do some legisla-
ton along the banking lines, and
should revise the tariff while they are
sure of good majority in both houses,
and president that is friendly to tariff
legislation.

A complete compilation of earnings
of the railroads for 1898 show a de-
crease of $16,520.O9s gross, and $10.-
429,642 net. The. next year, 1894,
show a falling off of $122,972,194
gross, and $40,323,653 net. 1t was in
January of 1895, exactly eighteen
months after the panic, that the re-
covery started. By the end of 1895
the figures showed an increase of
SCI, 74O,6S8 gross, and $26,451,609 net.
From that point the gains in both
gross and net gradually piled up one
year after another. until 1906 showed
Increases of no less than $209,019,143
and s72,904,903. respectively.
No one can safely predict today ex-
actIy to what extent the gross earnings
of the railroads will be affected by the
falling off in business This much, how
ever, can be truthfully said: 1t was
the poverty and virtual industrial in
solvency of the west that caused the
railway receivership of 1893, whereas
the most hopeful factor in the present
situation is the great strength Of the
agricultural districts. Another factor
that affects comparison is that in 1898
the railroads were called upon to mar
ket the output of 66.349,000 people,
whereas now the product of 1886, 900
people must be exchanged for the neces-
saries and luxuries of life. Aside from
this increasing domestic traffic, during
the same period exports increased from
sS47 665, 900 to 81, 1885,, S51, 900, and imports
from 1866 400 900 to 81, 434, 401 900.

Financial Panic Has Had In
fluence in Railway Affairs.
Earnings on Eastern and West
ern Roads Decreasing.
NOT AS BAD AS IN 1888
Western States Prosperous Now
Were Weak Then.
Other Items CT Interest in
Railway Circles.

Practically all of the railway earn
ings published this week for the
month OF October showed increases
in gross. but a falling off in net. For
example, the Eastern lines of the
Pennsylvania reported a gain of ST.
674,700 gross and a decrease of $420,
400 net. the Illinois Central an in
crease OF s432.107 gross and a de-
crease of $102.053 net. Last week
the Atchison showed gain of $3.50
gross and d falling off of S1,244,173
net. For some months it has been
generally understood that the high
cost of labor. fuel and material was
cutting down net earnings, but so
long as gross continued to increase no
apprehension was felt. Railway Of
f1cials freely admit now, however, that
during the month of November gross
earnings were affected by the panic.
1t will be some thirty days before the
statements for that period are made
public. and in the meantime inves-
tors are wondering what the figures
will reveal.
Before taking up the question of the
future, 1t might be we'll to examine
the changes shown so far this year.
The following table gives the total
results as far as has been reported:

AS a result of the congestion of
freight then existing throughout the
country, a decrease of $SO0S74 in net
was reported last January the first
that had appeared since February of
1904, when the decrease amounted to
s3,545,907. From January to May of
this year, a gradual Improvement in
both gross and net was reported; but
from that time on through September
the gains in gross, as well as net, grew
smaller. 1t is likely that October will
shaw the same tendency. But the real
interest is not in the results for Oc-
tober; 1t centers in November or after
the panic spread throughout the coun-
try.

as the railroads are concerned, does
not duplicate 1893, the figures showing
