As ft result "of this journey he condenses the whole situation into this: Not 5,000 bu new corn in crib from Lincoln to Hastings. Old corn going out very slowly, never saw a sin gle lord of new corn being hauled to market from Lincoln to Hastings, country roads are pimply perfection, but the new crop is in the hands of the farmers, and will not be sold this winter below 30c.
