Here Is a property that I must unload during the month of March. This Is 779" acres or as good sou as there is in me meat today, a good black loam soil with a clay subs.ill. .quaw Creek, a never fail ing stream, runs right through Its center and Is thickly timbered. There Is a world of timber nn the rjlnce. consisting of elm. ash, boxeldrr, and yellow pine, much of which Is plenty large enough ror lumnor purposes. There are more than 300 acres of good plow land on the place, 75 acres are now under cultivation. The place la all fenced and cross fenced and all ready to commence spring work. There Is a five room house on the place, but it is not lathed and plastered. There 'a a large three story barn, which with some fixing, win make a very fine barn, i nere is a small barn for five head of horses, with hay mow In very good shape. A good tittle grauiery and hen house, gooa wen and cellar. Now then, to a good buyer, I will make this proposition. 1 will pay for all the material to lath and plaster the house and to fix up the barn In first class shape If they will do the work. Now then, with this place there goes fifteen head of good horses. They con sist of five work horses 4 of which are good brood mares) 4 yearlings. I three year olds, 2 mules, and two saddle horses. The mules are 2 year olds, weli matched. The heavier horses will weigh from 1150 to 1200 and are a good western grade of horses. The 3 head nf cattle consist of nine good mi'ch cows, one good white faced bull, thirteen head of last spring's calves, and fifteen head of one, two, and three year old steers and heifers. This bunch is for the most part, a good high grade white faced strain and tha red poll strain, they will match up and rank well with any of the average farm herds In this, or any other country. The farm machinery consists of one new disc, one seeder, one hay rake, one 1H Inch stirring plow, one cultivator, and various other uppurtenarvea and tools that usually go to make up a ranch. Be sides this, there are two buggies, and two wagons, two spur of work harness, and one set of buggy harness. The land in tlio raw. without a build lng upon tt, or without u hoof oa stock, Is worth all the money that I am asking for this entlro layout. But, this Is .kist one of those bargain counter propositions that corns up once in a while. Tne fir: man that jumpy off the train here and looks this place over and says he will take It, Is the man that will get It, for this must have quick action, i turn the place over Just as It staiulM ready for the spring work. Possession will be given any day. $4500 cash, and $3300 back upon the placa will close the deal. Now, I don't want any Ions winded letters, asking all sorts of fool questions. This place Is cheaper than you can steal a place, and will make you a delightful home und a thoii'mnd times better than to stick around y'ur wl'e's folks paying rent. If you buy this place and Just turn In and work, you can be worth $25,000 in the next three years for this Is a dandy layout and is really worth today, double what It Is being offered at. Act at once, get right on the train and come here to me and let me sell you this place come prepared to deal, for I would not hold this five minutes for anybody. ARAH L. HUNGBRFORD. CRAWFORD. NEBR.

SEASON'S OUTLOOK BMCILTEB Financial Situation Is Stronger nnd Altogether a, Better "entlment Prevails Metal Trndea Active. NEW TOIIK. March 11. Tl. O. Tun A Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Nearly every report from tha large trade renters Is of transaotlnna well abova last year and of a bright outlook for tha new ' season. Financial conditions are also much stronger and. altogether, a belter sentiment prevails. This Improvement, however, Is In spite of considerable uneasiness on account of the strike In Philadelphia, which nausea some uncertainty aa to future develop men Is. The reappearance of tha railroads aa ac- tlve purchasers of rolling stork and other needod equipment Is the Important develop ment In Iron and steel, while evidences that construction work will be pushed with vigor gives the situation, as a wnoie, a aecideiiiy Improved aspect. The needs of the rail roads cover various forms of equipment nd are apparently becoming more urgent, l Judging from the Important Inquiries now pending. Electrolytic copper haa risen In prlca to 13i cents. In lines other than cotton goods jobbers re doing a fair trade, but reordering In the primary marketa la of a conservative character. Retailers are purchasing In a non-speculative way and the manufacturing situation growa more difficult In conse quence of Inability to secure values com mensurate with producing costs, hence cur tailment Is being forced a a protective measure, which it la thought will become sufficiently widespread to impress buyers. Kxport trade with the smaller market hus been somewhat better and It Is noted thai price concessions have brought about more signs of a resumption of normal buying finished cloths. Trade) In boots and shoes Is slightly bet ter, but the question of values continues to limit new business, as buyers and sellers do not agree on terms when negotiations ror large quantities are Involved. There Is 1 nere is nand for lug 4iTnre nlwV a to some Improvement In the demo leather and buyers are nneratln freely, although no dlsoosltlim Is hIi buy for more than current needs, anil the market continues easy and sales, as a rule, are at slight concessions. A marked In crease in activity is noted in tha packer hide market, but holders, In order to Inter est tanners, are compelled to name lower prices than bavo ruled since the decllr.4. that followed the panic of 1907. nil ADSTnlCKT'S HKVIKW of tradb Reports Continue to Display Certain Degree of Irregularity. NEW YORK, March 11. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: Trade reports continue to display a cer-l tain degree of Irregularity, a tendency par-f tlcularly notable In the east, parts of the nearby south and in scattered sections of the west. Yet on balance, trading at a majority of the points la probably better than It was last week, the south as a whole reporting Improvement, the north west showing up In good shape the far west good, with the southwest satisfactory, though house sales there are lighter, while the west, except Ohio and parts of Iowa, reports progress. More favorable weather conditions appear to be the chief Influ ence making for Improvement, but on tha other hand the poor condition of country roads tends to deter anything like a free movement. Staple lines are In chief re quest and aa a matter of fact buyers con tinue backward as to future commitments except where price conditions favor them. High prices of manufactured goods and uncertainty as to their permanence are (he principal barriers against expansion In trade, but as the situation stands manu facturers find it difficult to reduce prices on a large scale because raw materials are ao high and because present profits are not normally remunerative. Hummed up, the turnover is larger than It was last year, but the point Is that trade does not measure up to anticipations, which were keyed up to a high point. Retail trade has Improved at a few points, but on the whole the week's developments have not been especially satisfactory, prospects of a verv early Easter trade not having materialised'. Collections are slow. The labor situation Is, If anything, more unsettled than it was a week ago. Business failures for the week ending with March 10 were 250, against 184 last week, 254 In the like week of 1908, 27S In 11108, In 1907 and 187 In 1908. Wheat, Including flour, exports from the I'nlted States and Canada, for the week ending March 10 aggregated 1,679.458 buh el, against 1.845,807 bushels last week and 2,289,847 bushels this week last year. For the thlrty-slx weeks ending March 10 ex ports are 110,606,718 bushels, against 140, 201,134 in the corresponding period last year. Corn exports for the week are 1,022,898 bushels, against 783,466 bushels last week; and 930,848 bushels in 1909. For the thirty six weeks ending March 10 corn exports are llS63,683 bushels, against 21,762,800 last year. LIGNITE BRIQUETTES NEW ' SOUTH DAKOTA PRODUCT Coal, Now I'arleaa, Mar Be So Treated na to Become Valuable Fuel. ' PIERRE, S. D., March 11. (Special.) The business men of this city and Fort Pierre have Joined hands In a movement which has for Its purpose the working out of a combination of Missouri river trans portation and Missouri river coal to supply the northwest with cheap fuel. F. M. Ollbreath. commissioner of agri culture of North Dakota, says of tfi lig nite briquettes tested at their station: "Lignite briquettes, with an approximate heating value of 13,000 British thermal units per pound, as compared with 12, 1 per ton anthracite coal, ran be manufac-i tured for 83.60. f. o. b. cars at the mlnw In the process of brlquettlng, the heat ing value of the lignite la doubled, for the original lignite has a heating value of about 6,500 British thermal units. In order to bring about this large concentration It la necessary to use about two and a quar ter tons of lignite as mined, to make one ton of briquettes. The lignite can be ma chine mined by contract labor on a larger scale at a maximum cost of 60 cents per ton. I will venture to predict that there will be very little Pennsylvania coat sold In tho state three years from now. We are laying the foundation for making North Iakota one of the foremost fuel producing states in the union. "I have Just started my Investigation of the MlHsourl river coal deposits, but from data that I now have on hand would say that certain portions of It, In my estima tion, are the most desirable coal fields In the state."
