March 12, 1M7. ,
Tbe outlook in general businos c n-
tinurs to show : ;.w but steady im
provement. Every week the number ol
mills nJ factories ia oh r.ition gawf
larger.
Storekeepers who can tcke aJvintagt
of cut prtcea on signs' and -coffee fuf
aow maj da so with profit, as a ri&e n
prices is likely to come later in ih
month. Some time in the latter part o
April or May, however, sugar prices ar
likely to break very serious, judging
from certain deve'opaienu w inch are no'
yet to be made public.
Prints of all kinds are cheap, jut now
and are likely to be so for pnrt of tlii
month anyway. Tlie rush for wooli
and worsted guods of all kinds continue
under the assurance that prices will ad
ance decided in a few months.
There is an advance of $1.00 a case o:
kip and split leather hoots. Shre prir
are also ahowiug a tendency to hdvanc
and will be much higher ui a fe.v week
All wool cheviots seem to br tl e favo.
its Bulling, judging from the n:h
orders. Tho mills are already refii'
orders that they would have been glad
get a mooth ago. Those who sell gin
hams find that the high grade goods se,
much better then the low grades.
TO FARMER.
To read any talk an advance in tl
price of corn may seem astounding; at
yet we am inclined to think that the d.-n
when corn was '"King" arc not yet over
A committee headed by Senator Plat'
of Connecticut has betn invcstlgutin
the proposition to allow manufacture!
to ose American-made alcohol w ithot.
the internal revenue tax of about 2 )0 pi
cent, which is now paid. A provision t
Iha effect may go into the next tan;
bill. If it does and becomes a law. froi
40,000,000, to 60,000,000. bushels of cor.
a year will go into alcohol to be used i
manufactures, patent medicines, vai
. nishes, drugs, hats, &c. The entire e
ports of corn last year were about 10o.
000,000 bushels. The new feature of th
Dingley tariff bill will make a market f
perhaps lialf as much more corn and th;
surely means biglier prices for corn l
the law i enacted.
The removal of the tax will not aj.pr
to American-made alcohol used in an
way but manufacture: alcohol in into
canis will probably bo taxed heavier thai
it was in the McKinley law. Importe
alcohol of any kind will be subject to i
very high duty. a.s before. This seems t
promise more real benefit to every farme
than to any other single provision of ti
Dingley bill.
Of course if corn prices go up after tl
passage of the bill, pork prices are Hkei
to advance. In the event of the enat
meut of the recommendation of Seuat
Piatt, the prospects of corn will be belt
than they have tx?eu for years. We ht .
from a member of the Ways and Meai
committee that the committee is ch ee,
divided but will probably vote for th
proposition by a small majority.
The market for hay promises to be In
Ue better this month. As we predicted
prices on hides are stronger. Kggs aui
buttar are about the same, but prices ar
likely to be a little better on cheese, unt.
the output of the factories meets th.
present demand. Pork prices wer
strong, last week, as predicted. It is ;
good time to buy agricultural machinery
of any kind. Prices will advance befor
the spring is over. Some cotton broker
are talking of higher prices in the nea
future; but we see nothing to justify ti
talk until he mills are using much moi
cotton than thev are now.
The good business in wo.lr;i iron.:
has started tbe ranis to buying in mor
wool again. Our prediction of sti
higher prices holds good. Stone- ai

is no such corner as et.
