Mules Bring Fancy Prices.

The mule supply in this section
is the. scarcest known and tha few
that are being sold are bringing
remarkably high price. In St Lou
is, where ordinarily plenty of mules
can be found, it is almost impossi-
Bile to purchase any and it is claim
ed by those who know that the rea-
son is that theUnited States is
shipping all the mules to foreign mar
kets. Over 10000 of these animals
are used in the Panama canal, and
as Che work is hard many Of this
number die every year and have to
be replaced from the United States
Il is believed that this continued de-
mand, which will go on for several
years, will keep the price of mules
up, and as result the farmers every
where have decided to turn their at
tention TO ehis industry.
