at the lowest market price.

SHARP DECLINE IN LOCAL BUTTER AND EGG PRICES* : :—;— Unseasonable warm weather dtoing the present month, canalng ben» to lay more regularly, hac brought iarger reowpte to the local market and baa resulted to a drop of 3 to 4 cento in the wholesale baying price, of Indianapolis dealers.

New York, sara: I have read the •tatement issued by Senator Penrose. Il woukl be disconcerting if it were warranted, ‘but I believe it to be utwithout warrant. I can only attribute imism that Senator Penrone expresses eolation of the sick room to which i# until recently been confined ami the that hi* main source of information must be the newspapers who give prominence to the bad new# and do not print the good new# because it ia so voluminous that they have not room for IL In the laat faw weeks I hav* been in almost every state of the Union east of the Rocky mountain*, and had opportunity to talk with hundreds of America * joat prominent Vjdiieas men. They are not demoralised. They realise that the decline in prices had to come and in moat case# they have f been prepared for it. The unemployment is exaggerated and where It exists U meant aimpty a redistribution of labor. Proaent production of manufactured good# is under potential consumption and stock# are being reduced to a point that meant a vacuum in the supply next year. The American people are not going to starve themselves, go naked, or be deprived of the ordinary comfort# of life, and businew will soon be fully employed, satisfying i the normal requirements of the country if : we will but stop talking about the hard ‘ time* that are nonexistent and will not come if we inaiat on being cheerful and talk ing cheerfully., Value# and the inspiration that make# for conatructtve activity are largely a mat ter of sentiment and lust dbw those who feel blue becauee they are sick or diaap- , pointed should keep their mouth* shut and' their pessimism to tnemselves. > Linseed OU sad Turpentine.
