Northwestern Iowa 
The McGregor and Western "Road also passes 
through this section. All along these lines coal is 
found in abundance. 
To those seeking homes, we can only say that here 
lands are cheap, good, and will be plenty for some 
time to come at foregoing rates; that the climate is 
superior to the Eastern States; that prices for pro¬ 
duce are such as will enable an energetic man to buy 
a farm at $5 00 per acre, pay $4 00 per acre for break¬ 
ing, $5.00 for fencing, SO.00 for seeding, harvesting 
and marketing —making a total of $‘d0—from which 
be can grow, the second year, a crop sufficient to 
pay this snm, leave him his farm, and a wide margin 
besides, as his profits. In 1861, Mr. W. B. Hoffan 
settled in the Missouri Valley, (Woodbury Station,) 
having a good head, one yoke of oxen, two cows and 
a wagon, as his capital. To-day he is worth not 
less than $25,000, which he has made in stock rais¬ 
ing and hay cutting. This is not au isolated case, 
but there are scores similar in this immediate vicin¬ 
ity. The vast cold region of Montana will absorb 
all the produce that can be spared from this region 
for years to come, and farmers will have a market in 
which there can be no competition against them.

Eds. Rural New-Yorker; —Northwestern Iowa, 
embracing that part lying north and west of the 
counties of Monona, Ida, Sac, Calhoun, Humboldt 
and Kossuth, on account of the difficulties of 
transportation, no railroads having, until recently, 
penetrated that region, bas not been very rapidly 
settled; and the general belief that it is as cold as 
Greenland, on account of its northern latitude, and 
the impression that the Indians have not yet been 
subdued, has prevented much interest being felt 
concerning it. By th8 completion of the Chicago 
and Northwestern Railway to the Missouri River, 
aDd the 8ioux City and Pacific road up the gTeat 
Valley of the Missouri to this place, this vast and 
fertile region has been brought into immediate con¬ 
nection with the rest of the world, and already there 
is a tide of immigration pouring in that is perfectly 
wonderful. 
The soil in the river bottoms is a very rich allu¬ 
vial deposit, varying in depth from three to thirty 
feet; that of the prairies is of clay and sand, but 60 
combined as to render it porous, and of a very supe¬ 
rior character. The “prairies” of this region are 
more rolling than in Illinois, or the eastern part of 
this State, and it is a rare instance where artificial 
drainage is required. In the immediate vicinity of 
the rivers timber is abundant and cheap; but far¬ 
ther inland the country is devoid of wood. Through¬ 
out the section referred to, good brick clay and 
limestone of a superior quality are found, these giving 
a cheap and durable material for building; and as 
the different railroad lines work their way westward, 
cost of lumber will be reduced materially. 
The chief products of Northwestern Iowa are 
wheat and corn, the former growing luxuriantly and 
producing an average crop of thirty bushels per acre, 
which is rated in Chicago and St Lonie as “No. 1 
choice,” and equal in every respect to that grown in 
Minnesota. Wheat sold at tbiB place last season for 
$2 per bushel. Corn yields an average of fifty bush¬ 
els, and sold last year for $1,00 per bushel. Potatoes 
yield as high as five huudred bushels per acre, the 
average., however, being about two hundred bushels, 
which are worth from sixty cents to one dollar and 
a half per bushel. 
All the small friuits grow well here, and there is 
no finer region for grape culture east of the Missouri 
Kiver than this. Apples, plums, peare and other 
hardy fruits all do well, For stock growing this 
section is unsurpassed, animals grazing until the 
middle of February, without receiving any cure or 
attention. Prices of good cows range from $37 to 
$50; oxen from $140 to $160 per yoke. Sheep do ex¬ 
ceedingly well, and the wool grower finds a ready 
market at his very door for all his product. llorseB 
are high, ranging for Tara stock from $250 to $700 
per pair. Hogs thrive, yet cattle aud sheep pay 
better, hay being only $3,50(b $4,00 per too, while 
the range is free; and hogs require more attention, 
while corn is never less than 90 cents per bushel. 
To parties desirous of establishing nurseries, no 
field offers greater inducements than this. Fruit 
and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, etc., here find 
ready sale at large prices, especially if raised within 
the limits of the State. To manufacturers of any and 
everything, here is an inviting field. Immense water 
power is furnished by the numerous rivers draining 
Northwest Iowa, aud within a brief time crude ma¬ 
terial can be delivered in any part of this region as 
cheaply as at Chicago or St. Louis. 
Within twenty mijAs of this city there are hundreds

Money continues abundant in this locality and throughout 
Western New York. The Banks have more currency In their 
vaults now than is wanted by the business community. There 
Is great ease in financial affairs nil through the North and 
West. The stringency that existed at the East two months 
since has entirely passed away.and In Boston and New York 
there l« a decided pletlioru In the market. Call loans In Bos¬ 
ton are made as low as four percent., and the demand at this 
rate is reported light, Choice notes arc Taken as low as v, 
@5if per ecu;. As might be expected with rates time low, 
the Boston Banks, in their weekly statements, short a large in¬ 
crease of (lopdSlT-S. Legal Tenders have also largely increas¬ 
ed. In New York tho ease la financial matters Is still more 
decided, rates of money on call are reported very low, and 
good commercial paper is much wanted. Loans on Govern¬ 
ments In Wall Street are made at 3@4 per cent. Country 
Banks have large balances In New York In consequence of 
the ease in the interior. 
Money Is in fair supply in all the commercial towns at 
the West. Chicago Banks find an absence of good business 
paper, and are buying Government Securities, as are tbe 
Banks In many other localities. 
Sterling Exchange Is high—bills on London last week sell¬ 
ing mostly above ltd- This causes large shipments of specie 
and keeps the gold premium up, and will continue to be tbe 
case while our Imports are as heavy as recently, with mode¬ 
rate, or comparatively moderate, exports. 
Gold sold yesterday at 139*;'. 
United States Securities are firm, and are|growing more 
and more in favor, both with Iregulur Investors and specu¬ 
lators. It Is generally believed that U. S. Stocks will go 
higher. 
Cotton Is about 81c. for middling. The whole stock in 
American ports foots up only 145,000 bales, against 275,000 
last year. Holders are therefore firm. 
DRV Goons arc more active, without any general increase 
In prices. 
Wool.—T here is considerable more ac tivity in the Wool 
Market, t hough at a little concession in prices. The sales in 
Boston last week were large, reaching 1-250,000 lbH., at a 
range of 15(.«55c. for fleece, and 42@38c, for pulled. Some 
large manufacturers have been In the market purchasing 
supplies to bridge over tho interim between this and the 
coming of the new clip. The indications are that there will 
bo a brisk market for two or three weeks to come. At the 
present rate of demand It is anticipated the Boston market 
will he bare of stocks in fifteen or twenty days. Several 
houses entirely sold out last week. 
BukaiistpFI’ s.—There in continued dullness in the market 
for Wheat aud Flour, and prices still tend downward. The 
stocks at the East are larger than last year at this time. The 
good crop prospects, with continued liberal receipts, aTe 
unfavorable to an advance. Some heavy Western dealers 
have recently been operating with a view of advancing the 
Eastern market, but the weather, the breadth of wheat on 
the ground, and its promising condition, are all against 
them. 
Fobk.—T he market has been active and excited for the 
last four weeks, though more quiet and a little depressed 
for a few days past. A Chicago paper sayB“ The recent 
rapid rise In the prices ef pork products Is something re¬ 
markable. Fortunes have been both lost and won. The 
advance In mess pork within a week Is $3 per barrel; on 
lard lc.per pound ; on bulk meats 2c, per pound. On some 
days 8,000,000 to 5,000,000 pounds of meats have changed hands 
here, on others between 7,000 and 8,000 barrels of pork, and 
about 2,000 tierces of lard. Of course the sellers early in the 
season can now see where and bow they lost from $20,000 to 
$100,000 which others more fortunate have gained.”

The bill before the Senate provides that any con¬

Latent Foreign Intelligence. 
A late dispatch from Abyssinia conveys impor 
tant but rather melancholy accounts of the present 
effects produced by the British expedition under 
General Napier on the political and social codition of 
the country. Civil war, with its consequent anarchy, 
reigned all over tho territory at the late writing. The 
native chiefs, had organized and rafeed armies to 
fight against the new" dynasty of Gobazzee of Losta, 
the nominee of the British as tbe successor of the 
deceased Monarch. Gobazzee called out all his 
forces in order to maintain his position. His com¬ 
manding General, named Mashesba, set out at the 
head of a strong force in pnrsuit of a released chief
