Farmers gain buying power as farm prices rise and goods drop
Farmers will buy more with a bushel of grain or a pound of pork or beef this fall than before. Grain, hay, and cattle are high while dry goods including dress goods, clothing, boots and shoes have slumped. Local dealers report dress goods available near their own figures and well below previous years, sometimes nearly fifty percent. The trend, seen strongest in eastern markets, reflects a rare period where farmers gain leverage rather than follow rising prices for every other item.
