Corn that used to be burned for fuel in the East is now bring!ng in the region of $20. The latest quotation here was $22 a ton. arley is quoted at $21 and $21 a ton, | | The market is rapidly advancing in | everything, and it is expected that if the dry weather continues it will not be any great length of time ere hay will be hard to get at $25 a ton. There is a greater demand now for dry on account of the fact that fr have been prevalent throughout s the State, and accordingly the grass in all | sections is very short. According to another dealer recent The whole cause of the trouble is the dry weather. If it should rain for a week the prospects would soon be good. If it should not, men with much live- | stock on hand will have their pockets drained pretty thoroughly.

Get Supplies First and Gold Comes Easy. Thousands will go to the Klondike and other Alaskan mines within the next few weeks, The steamers are crowded with gold-seekers already,and | the attention given by the prospectors to thelr outfitting is a good sign of their determination to win fortune in | the icy north. But much may be saved the miner in comfort and health by buying his equipment at the store car- rying the largest and most complete stock of the kind in the country. At Raphael's, on Kearny street, an entire floor is filled with all that the Alaska miner needs. Everything is | shown plainly, and no pains are spared to help the purchaser select just what will best suit him. Clothing for the cold and warm weather is displayed; furs of all grades and woolens at low prices. All seasons and conditions are provided for.

A few weeks ago the bank advertised for the heirs of the late Patrick T. Brady, and I began to look them up.
