cents per bushel on tn local market here
while he received IL X cents, net, tor oats con-
signed to Chicago.

sold fourteen hogs, net weight 3,S50 pounds

toned because in that day large com
manded top prices. Cattle we're then quoted
at pa cents per pound. and good horses
brought about $40 apiece. And yet those were
called good times"
