Favora BILE conditions for sowing fall
crops are reported from most parts of
Europe, and the condition of the crops,
as far as shown, is likewise favorable.
The opinion is freely expressed that an
increased area has been sown in wheat,
but this appears to be more as a mat
ter of inference from the natural ten
dency of high prices to produce such an
effect than an observed fact
The crop reports from India continue
favorable. and on the whole this is true
as to those from Argentine and Austria

vest is too remote to permit any very
confident prediction as to the final out

may prove that more damage has been

nothing to indicate that the wheat

tions ,. 3 and 8 of the Interstate Com
merce Act, and also under the decision

the practice which has grown up among

Shippers, in order to get business
amounts to discrimination in favor of

ne hnal hearing in the case arising
under the petition took place before

that the free storage system had
grown to be an abuse which they were
not able to control.
