It Is doubtful if St. Louis ever ap proached the beginning of a fall season when the prospects for a successful con dition of trade were so rosy.

Th ETastern United States must take tnto account that the territory contiguous to SL Louis the South and th- South west has already demonstrated high ag ricultural canaclty. and that it Is still capable of decidedly more development.

Crops In those sections trlhutarv to St. lends in some instance have ieen particularly good, and In nearly nil others very fair, bringing coed prices and consieojuentlv giving th farmers, who are tho greatest conumers. money with which to buy. Another circumstance which Indicates n good eason Is that for the list twelve months there has been no specu lative buying and the merchants are now preparing to stock tip. In fact, the only disturhinr circumstance Is the yellow fever epidemic in the Sciith. ami that seems at thl time to bo under control.
