Very complete reports by geographic
the Chicago Times from the great corn belt OF
the West show that the crop is in an unsatis-
factory condition. In Illinois, Indiana and Iowa
considerable damage has been done by
the recent prolonged rains, and the
crop will probably fall 90 to 80 per
cent short Of an average, the quality
being inferior also. In Missouri, Nebraska
and Kansas the rains have been beneficial in
the main, and hopes are entertained that the
yield will be heavy. Owing to the high prices
which corn has commanded of late, farmers
have been selling literally and but small por-
ton of last years crop now remains in their
hands. The roports agree that the number Of
hogs now fattening is very much smaller than
usual, and that they will not come up to the
average in weight.
