TIL CORN

Two weeks ago the outlook for corn
was gloomy and the prediction was
made that it would not be much more
than half = crop. Throughout 3 large
area Of the corn belt the prolonged dry
spell had lone more or less damage. But
the recent rains. widely extended, are
reported TO have quite generally re-
stored the favorable conditions that pre-
vailed anterior TO the dry weather and
while il is probable that the crop will
not be SO large as had been hoped for
earlier in the season. il viii undoubtedly
be nearly if not fully an average crop.
So far a. the supply of moisture i con
cerned corn is safe wherever the late
abundant rains have fallen.
Meanwhile il is interesting 10 note
the prevalence Of a belief in well in
formed quarters that the demand for
corn for export is likely TO steadily in
crease The large shipments abroad Of
this cereal within the past year seems
TO warrant the opinion that at last it
has found a more extensive acceptance
il Europe as an article Of human food
and il is said that the prejudice against
corn both in Great Britain and on the
continent is rapidly passing away. Of
course circumstances in the last year
have been peculiarly favorable TO an in
creased foreign demand for CORE and it
may not be so large next year if the
better yield Of wheat abroad now prom
ised is realized. but in any event there
seems TO be good reason 10 believe that
we shall continue TO have g good for
eign market for corn if not q rapidly
growing one.
