The American Agriculturist is auth- ority for the statement that wheat vai- ne is a shade less than 7 per cent. tbat of ail principal crops inluding live stock upon United States farms at the close of 1895. Canadians have, long held the opinion tbat wheat leads in im- portance every other product of theý farm,and when it advances to a dollar a bushlel many fancy tha t good times have actually returned again. It may astonish many STATESM4AN readers to be told that the annual product of the American heu is about equal in value to the average wheat crop. Is it prop- er then to give undue. prominence to a crop that forms 50 Iinor a part of the country's agricultural product as wheat?ý There is this satisfaction, however, to Canadian farmers, that coincîdent with the advance in wheat most other farmn produets are advancing. Oats are ad- vancing, corn is higher iu the face of the biggest crop on record, potatoes are hîgher than a year ago with indications of further advance, wool is up le perlb. and firmer, hay is brinei ng paying prices, cheese has greatl 'y improved -with future ontlook encour; , ing, hor ses are selling better and L.ie mnarket is likely to continue good, ail these with the decided advance of wheat in- cluded, must meanmillions of increas ed profits for farmers. While the prices for wheat and other farm Products are not yet as high as thev have sornetimes been. it must be considered that the prices of everythin- the farmer buvs aie also veryv 1W, so that the purchasinu' power of the farm- ers' crops is nearfy as great now as when prices were consîderably higher. Truc, wheat is the great speculative commodity, but with a return once more of business confidence noV only In this Dominion but across the lunes fol- lowing the decisive stand taken for. souud mouey, and with a'consequeint outward flow of timid capital into trade activities, permanent pros erîty-cau corne and wiIl corne whet r wheat ever selis again at a dollar or not. A general survey of the whole business Iord gives the impression that better times are certainly cornîng ad unless we ris-read tht igns of the times we are xnow entering upon a new era of prosperity in which farmers will have their share. ?ke lac so simil, lM Fumonus e apples are being shipped from Canada te Chicago at good prices.
