patronage during the psst season.,-.
- "Everything sppesrs 'to. have been

the small amount of freight Is that there
la too much prosperity in th stata. Th
farmers.-r holding their produc or
higher price. They have plenty of
money In th bank and do not -hav
to ship unttt. th . market aulta them.
When they.com to the metropolis they
