sort of inerrogatory by no means presents a fair
statement Of the Suppose all had been willing
to take that price, and al had brought their wheat
to market, how many could have realized it, Would
not the glut have instantly depressed prices Where

consumed at once, and Is expected tn be used gra.

crop in August and September, they would make an
abatement in the price, sufficient in their opinion to
the intercs-and with the whole crop at their
mercy, they would take care that that abatement
should be adequate to meet all losses. The farmer
had better lose per interest with his wheat in
his barn, than 90 per cent with it in the miller :

who have held their wheat, have holden too long
