farmers will probably profit this year
by the misfortune of others, says the
1'imes-ltyountHitieer. The shortage in
the wheat crop In India and Australia
will cause price to range high hurt
next fall; the heavy loss of stock In
the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming,
will oause advanced prices for beef
and mutton to prevail, and the dam
age that was done fruit trees by the
November frsoxe In the sections to the
oast, will make fruit in demand. All
these thing oombinod, while they are
misfortune to olhors, will be beueBoial
to the people of this section.
