Prices After the War.

Many farmers have been question
ing the market outlook for particular
crops in the next year or two. The de
preston in the price of wheat, to-
gether with reports OF large acreages
in many wheat-raising countries, has
naturally caused concern about the
future. II is pretty dangerous bust
ness to give. advice in such cases; il
it proves right it is likely to be forgot
ten, and If il proves wrong it's GER
tain not to be. But, without advising,
it may be interesting TO observe that
the studies of wheat prices during
and following the wars of the last two
hundred years show that almost In
variably the highest price is reached
not during but some time soon after
the end Of the struggle. That was true
Of our Revolutionary War, of the Ma
poleonic wars, the Crimean, the Civil
War and the Franco German war of
1S70-'7l. There Is not much doubt that
it will be true after the present war,
because when war ends the measures
that governments have taken 10 con-
troll prices and prevent extortion will
be relaxed. Speculation will get its
first easy opportunity. The resump-
ton of industry in general will inev-
itably cause speculation in 3 thousand
directions, all of it pointing to higher
price levels in general. That is what
has always happened; conditions now
suggest unusual reasons 70 expect
it TO happen again.-Fsrm and Fire

Culture

It we're easy enough TO cite in
Vulnerable instances how this growing
intelligence and apprehension of better
things finds material expression in the
profitable form Of large production per
acre, Of higher quality Of things grown,
OF purer breeds Of cattle, in more eff
e'ent ways Of farming, but one example
must suffice. In Boone County, Mo,
mere is an apple orchard of lao acres
mat for years proved a liability rather
man an asset to the owner-a rich
maiden lady-because she took no care
o. u. Finally she asked the advice Of
.he horticultural department Of the
University Of Missouri, in nearby Co
iumola. As an object lesson the uni
'efsity experts selected one acre in the
MIDST OF the orchard, sprayed, pruned
ana cultivated it, and let the other 1879
acres look out for themselves, with the
result that the one acre thus treated
pore more apples and Of better quality
man all the rest Of the orchard com
''ned. After that the owner employed
graduate Of the horticultural depart
"en' TO take charge of the entire
O'ehard, and the first year the net
profits were $l7,5OO.

things the improved weather, larger

decline went far enough to uncover

Psychic Hungers.

The inhabitant in the great city,
sated with amusement and entertain
ment, has but small realization of the
hunger and thirst of the dweller in the
small town for the many things that
are denied him. It is the custom OF
The st. Louis symphony Orchestra to
give concerts in the many small cities
Of Missouri, and accompanied the
orchestra on its first trip to Cape
Girardeau, city of some 10000 people
and the site Of one of the state normal
schools. The beautiful school audi
torium, on top Of commanding hill,
was packed with an audience of 1,1oO
people, not only from the "Cape," as
II is colloquially called, but likewise
from all the surrounding country. Their
intelligence and appreciation can best
be illustrated by the statement that
during the rendition Of Dvorak's New
World Symphony" they had the ex-
traOrdinary native good taste to re-
serve their applause until the number
was complete, and TO remain absolutely
quiet between each movement.

FUTURES.
Coffee Futures-A steadier tone pre-
vailed in the coffee market during the
first part of yesterday, and values
weed up 4 to points from the hnal
Of Saturday. Offerings were compare
lively small and there was scattered
local buying, owing to continued firm

showed gains on Saturday of rs to 100

Brazil was more willing TO sell, and
subsequently the market developed an
easier tone, and at the close of the day
was l point net higher to point lower.
