year 1884, rather favorable than 843 as

those engaged as the trade of the year previous
Prices for all our principal agricultural products the
past year have ruled very low, much lower than for
many years previous Producers have hardly realized
remunerating rates for their crops and the aggregate
value Of merchandise sent abroad in 1884, will not
probably exceed that for lea3. Every thing has
been very abundant Our surplus supplies of
breadstu provisions, cotton &c., have been beyond the
control Of speculators and all monopolzers. This
has been Of great advantage to the consumers but there
the benefits stopped The planters Of the South and the
farmers of the West have not realized the returns an
tcpaed and nd themselves cramped In their resources
The Of the soil generally make their calcua
tons and arrangements year in advance The profits
Of their crops estimated and in their expenditures
they govern themselves accordingly. Any disappoint
men arrangement in their anticpations restricts the
receipts and prevents them from meeting their liabilities
at maturity This in turn affects smerchans in the in
terror who dssppoint the city merchants, and the evil
rapidly spreads through the commercial classes and
creates serious embarrasmens-all springng from the
difficulties the reduced value Of produce entail upon the
agriculturaliss.
