case OF something like 800 600, 900 bushels
of corn, and this loss consumers have to
share through the advance of a cents in
two weeks and 9 cents since Friday Of
last week
Neither official nor unofficial statements
rs yet preclude the hope that the loss may
prove less serious, but at current prices
800, O00. 900 would cost as much as two
