on account of its low estimate is be
ing proven somewhat pessimistic In its
nature by later reports from various
corn-growing sections. The Government
Report makes the yield this year about
1lO0,O00O bushels, or about 9)1WOoO0
bushels short of what Is produced in
the United states in a good year, which
Is about 1000 0O.0O bushels. 1t is a we'll
known fact that this crop is short. and
that the severe and excessive drought
has greatly reduced the yield. but we
believe that things are not so bad as set
forth in the Government Report and
advices since received from all the corn
growing sections of the country do much
to confirm our belief. In these late re-
ports we see indications Of about two
thirds of an average crop. or in the
neiChboThood Of l3G0.OOo,o0 bushels. The
greatest reduction has been in the States
west of the Mississippi and there the
loss has been heavy. Kansas. which
raises more than l@,W0000 bushels OF
corn in a good year reports only 1900
coo bushels But the States east of the
