course of q long leader on the dismal
agricultural prospects of Great Brit

the price of cattle and corn. The inn
ports of animals and meat, it says. will
swamp the markets this year. Great
Britain will be more than ever de-
pendent on foreign supplies and will
require at least 2S,OO00O quarters of
wheat from abroad. France must i'm
port more than twice as much as she
usually does. Germany has already
begun to draw on the American mark
