vsRsr satements or estimates made Of the sonsump-
tion Great Britain We have very little faith in the
reports which reach us time regarding the
damage to the growing crop, and the devastation
caused by the boil worm the caterpillar the late FROST
and the early Frost the wet weather and the dry
weather AL these are exaggerated for the purpose OF
initiating prices. The effect Of such things cannot be
but temporary. few individuals may take advantage
OF the advance In prices produced by reports but
the great planting interest Is injured and we are there
fore, opposed to everything tending to produce an
artificial imitation OF prices So far ss the planting
interest 10 concerned would like see high prices
ruling for the raw material but ths
conviction that those who realize rates will
reap richer harvest than those Who hold on until the
season Is more advanced. We may be wrong, but, 10
