GOOD FOR THE COTTON
PLANTER AND THE
LEVEE BUILDER.

Eor the past several years, to be
explicit ever since the Spanish
American and the South African
wars, the price of mules has been
excessive. Figuratively speaking
Maud" and JANUARY" have,
like many other commodities, ta-
ken wings and flown beyond the
reach of all but the longest purse.
The reach of mule cost has been a
specially heavy charge on cotton
planting and levee building. The
following from the Journal of Ag-
iiculture, St. Louis. brings to these
interests the joyful news of a pros
pective mule slump.
Hundreds of mules are being re-
celved at the big live stock CEN
ters, and few are going out. As a
result buyers have sent warning
throughout the state telling ship
pers to hoard" their mule sup
ply until the demand becomes bet
ter. According to St. Louis deal
ers, the mule market has been slow
because cotton down the river has
moved slowly. The planters are
holding their crops for higher
prices and until they dispose oi
their holdings they will not be III
a position to buy mules. The
fear of a mule panic" isn't caus-
ing much worry on the part OF
farmers and others who own such
stock, however, because everybody
knows that mules are about the
best asseset it is possible to own,
and money invested in them i:
more certain of returning profit
than if invested in so-called gilt
edge" securities. For that reason
a mule pania" would couse abou,
as much excitement as if John D
| Rockefeller started a run on himself.
So long as the present prosperous
conditions prevail, Missouri far
mers care little about a mulepan.

Nobody wants to move the Mis-

we'll grounded opinion may be en-
tertained as to the cause of theil
trouble, than that it is cottoi
holding that has slackened the de,

trary, apparent that like lumber,
copper, etc., the price has ruled Sc

When two would have been bought

These men i'll have charge of the
inspection of every pound OF meat that

the sale of all meats in the city that

these specialists. This gives Rich

Disrespect to the American flag
was evidenced by the storm Of Sunday

over Richmond about eleven O'Clock,
tore the flag on the postoffice building
from the staff and left it hanging by
only one rope. There it hangs a
most abject spectacle. The flag over
the government building is so tattered
and frayed that it has little sem
blance to the national emblem. 1t ap-
pears that little donation from Uncle
