A curious point is that the coal

Their opinion is that the union

Interesting by reason OF the fact
that the Connellsville operators

FARMERS ENCOURAGED
RECENT RISE IN PRICES
Better Grain and Livestock Markets Aid Liqui.
dalton in Northwest.

ST. PAUL. Feb. 19.-The recent
upward trend of prices in som. Of
the principal farm products has
been an encouraging sign for
Northwest producers. sheep and
lambs have topped the livestock
market, fetching good profits 'or
dealers and growers. No double the
risk demand for wool is reflected
in the better market for sheep, but
whatever the cause, the resul:s for
those who have been fortunate
enough to possess them have been
very welcome. The rise in the
price OF hogs has also proved a
life saver for scores OF tar.Aers.
who thus are enabled to work Off
their corn and other feed on a
satisfactory basis.
AS for wheat. the spectacular up
turn recently recorded in the mar
ket has brought out much Moth
west wheat. our farmers apparent
ly preferring to accept the present
prices rather than wait for a more
or less uncertain upturn in the
market later on. Their action in
selling. however. has served to
