ment. The decline in prices of farm produce, and the various diseour- 
agements complained of inthe West, have had some effect upon prices 
there. ; 
The following table shows the comparison between 1860 and 1868, as

The returns upon this portion of our circular for March were not com- 
plete, and the attempt to establish State averages is therefore less 
satisfactory, yet the results of such generalization harmonize substanti- 
ally with the averages of 1868, allowances being made for the modifying 
influences at work upon prices in the different sections. These are not 
given as State averages, but averages of the counties reported in compari- 
son with 1860.

A few extracts, which exhibit something suggestive as to prices and 
the cause of change in rates, are appended : 
Mainr.— Androscoggin: Value has increased to some extent in the vicinity of villages. 
Piscataquis : Farm-lands are-increasing owing to the lumber manufacturing and open- 
ing of a railroad through the county.
