BLACKBIRD.
Prices for Personal Property Have
Fallen-COrn and Wheat Not Sold

Blackbird, Dec 23.-Farmers in this
section are now feeling the effects of
the tomato panic" of the recent sea-
son, when prices in the open market
fell to 10 and Is cents a basket. Last
winter many farmers thought the
price for tomatoes would be from 81
to S1.5O a baskt, and on the strength
of that belief bought considerable per-
sonal property at public sale, giving
notes of credit for eight or twelve
months. Some farmers who grew for
the open market seem to be experience
ing some annoyance in meeting their
notes and other expenses. In addi-
tion, as there seems to be no hope for
high profits in tomatoes next year,
and as many farmers have not been
able to dispose of their corn and
wheat for cash, there has been q
slump in the prices of personal prop
erty offered at public sale in this sec
tion. While graded cows are selling
at from $50 to $1OO a head, horses
that last winter would have sold a
from $50 to SITS, are now selling
at from $40 to $1OO head. Farm
ing implements are selling at from 81
to 40 per cent, below the prices real
ized last winter.

them just four runs-two sz1-t of
