While talking apple lets keep on

corn will continue TO be the leading

on each acre. That is one thing the

casional yields of eighty, ninety and

A list of prices received by a Mar

cheap there as in the United States.
Potatoes are . shillings or about 80
cents a peck, butter runs about AS

they ave plenty in the market so

enough to live on. Which is similar to
the wonderment here as to how a man

Upton is getting ready to give a
warm n generous welcome to her
boys who have been guarding the Dor

compelled to engage in active warfare
takes nothing from the credit which is
theirs. When we said goodbye 10 them
six months ago the outlook was fo- a
long and bloody war with Mexico, and
their patriotism in responding to the
call was just the same as tho that war

honor is due. We refer to the little

Of the SIS a week home. She buys the
groceries and prepares the meals,
clothes the children and sends them to
school. keeps herself and her husband
looking respectable, pays the doctor

shows where each penny should go nor
what to buy and what not to buy.
Mother has il all in her head and she
can tell, barring accidents, just where

1t was. perhaps. inevitable that the
state of Iowa should lose the service of

is nevertheless a public misfortune. Mr..

knows what every function of a rail-
road is and When it is funetioning
properly. He knows how our railroads
were financed and all that they are now
entitled to as quasi public Institutions.
He has spent his best years in gaining
this knowledge and in active practice
he has also acquired skill and address.
He has been in the habit Of meeting in

and all their attorneys. This expert

qualities and reinforced by the acqu;si-

given him prestige in every place where
the interests Of railroads are discussed.
He has the respect of his opponents
and the confidence of every court that
appreciates merit in the preparation
and presentation of a cause by an at
torney.
Mr.. Thorne not only understands. but
he appreciates, the complex problems
which confront h operating forces OF
the railroads and 1t is his method 10

tions below a parity. Buying was also
prompted in part by reports OF heavy
rains in parts Of Oklahoma and Texas.
High winds were also reported IN the
latter state, and fears were expressed
that the approaching tropical storm
might cause loss in quality.
In spite of these early factors the
opening was somewhat tame, which was
traceable almost wholly TO selling OF
about 10000 bales by a prominent
trade house, supposed to represent
profit taking. Selling of this nature
continued throughout the session on
all the 5-point advances, but the active
general demand absorbed all the offer
ings.
There was heavy buying Of January
and March by leading local operator,
while the March was also bought free
~ for the account OF a big trader in
New Orleans. This strong leadership
on the bull side, coupled with the
further buying by the large spot in
terests. stimulated renewed activity in
Wall Street circles, and il was said that
some of this buying was to cover short
sales. Reports from the South con-
tinue 20 emphasize the strength Of the
spot situation. In some places IL was
said that cotton was selling az the
highest prices in fifty years, with all
offerings readily taken by foreign as
well as domestic spinnsrs.
