OH YOU NICE WEATHER
Continued Pleasant Weather Starts
the Clothiers on a Run.

II ~
Continued pleasant weather has its
effect on clothing trade. Already sew
eral of Oskaloosas stores are out
with announcements of special sales.
The Hub Clothiers, the big store on
North Side, are especially attracting
favorable attention by their depend
able offerings at low. water mark
prices. Beginning next Saturday.
Dec. 3, they will feature Mems Suits
and oyercoats, $500 and $3.50 val
.ues, for s9.98, and $4,000 and $3.50
values fer SASS. Boys Suits and
Overcoats at SEAS, and big line Of
$500 Pants for $1.4S. 1T is neces-
|sary that we reduce our stock, and
these prices will do it, says the
management, and 1t would surely
seem that the statement is correct,
for the Big Store does appear to be
heavily stocked, and no one seeing
the Suits and Overcoats which go on
sale at the above mentioned prices
will doubt their ability to deplete
their stock, and quickly, too. ITS
an i'll wind that blows nobody good

will be very cheap this fall. This
may be the case, but one prominet
farmer of the county says he will
buy 10000 bushels Of corn at S5c
If corn Is worth this price as a
source of speculation, it will not be
for sale long at that price. 1t is
said that corn can be purchased fol-
33c per bushel and some people
state that they have purchased the
product delivered at 30c.

ment of Commerce.

Washington, ID. C.-Meat prices

The chief meat exporting countries

tina, Canada and the United States.
The chief meat importing countries

and, in less degree, the other Euro
pean countries. All of the meat ex.
porting countries show higher prices
per pound in their exports in recent
years than those of decade ago, and
all of the meat importing countries
show higher rates in their import fig
ures and in the current market quota
tions.
Meat imports into the United King
dom in the period from 1896 to 1908
show in nearly every case advance,
the principal exception being fresh
beef, of which the average price for
100 pounds decreased from 1921 in
1896 to s7.96 in 1908. The largest
proportionate advances are in pre-
served beef, 80 per cent; salted beef,
53 per cent: bacon, Az per cent;
preserved mutton. 45 per cent, and
cheese, 33 per cent; while pork shows
rise of II per cent, fresh butter -
