A Big Fall Trade.
Indications point to a big fall
trade in 'North Platte: iu fact the
local merchants are already begin
ning to feel the effects of fie wheat
crop wuicu is now being urouirut
to market. The corn crop in this
and Logau and McFherson counties
is .the best s:n;e 1891 and this
means the marketing of more hogs
than for several years past. The
lay crop is also unusually heavy
and the prices, tuough not us high
as last year, will range around
.550 per ton.
The Ncrth Platte merchants are
bringing in hjg stocks of goods and
will thus be in shape to meet the
demands of the farmers aud stock-
meu.
A very heavy rain which prac
tically amounted to a cloud burut

ing trains several hours.
