and the files Of this paper reveal the

patent flour $3.50 per hundren; granu-

lard Z cents per pound; syrup 20 cents
per gallon. butter II cents per
pound: friers 10 and Is cents each;
eggs Is cents per dozen In those
days the farmer thought that il the
time would ever arrive when he would
receive the present prices for his
products that all of them would be
