Farmers and Motor-cars.

An interesting sidelight on the present economic conditions was provided at the weekly fat stock market at Westfield (states an exchange). For some time the long lines of cars parked at the side of the road during sales have been growing shorter, and the number of carts, buggies, and traps has been growing larger.

At the same time, the popularity of hacks is also increasing.
