It Is refreshing, by way of a change, to receive tidings from agricultural territory that are not wholly doleful. Unquestionably, the" weakest phase of our economlo position today Is the unduly low prices ruling for most of our agricultural products. Kven those of us who live in cities reeogniie this, although we cannot suggest any panacea or become enthusiastic over any of the artificial short -ruts suggested almost daily to alter the unfortunate facts, the only one that strikes us as feasible being ths prosaic one of extending co-: operative marketing. From a responsible, well-posted reader in Mln nesota came a letter yesterday, part of which reads: The unfortunate thing from a po-'litleal standpoint Is the fact that 'feelings of enmity have developed between the business men and the 'farmers, instead of an intelligent un. derstandlng on both sides of the fundamental conditions which affect 'the prosperity of each.

In this respect they are both very much to i blame. The business man Is inclined 1 to regard the average farmer as a 'wild-eyed radical who is Incapable of H'3 12 SO 75H as '4 34 36 104 103V lU(S4s 80S, 75 (3 3S 37 104 103 1065, 0 74 75 t3, 40 35 '4 37V 103 103U 10Vt 10 74 63 38 36 37 do pfd I 88 I 88 I 88 88 lUek laiand-! 24 21; 24 I 24! tt do Pfd. 89 70 69! 70 8 do 1 pfd. 79j 79! 791 7 September December inRuea. 1 no run year dividend of 6 per cent on tho common requires $1 813 -840.
