The alarm is Sc; by inserting peg

crease Of 358, ,O00,0 900 bushels. But
the aggregate crop Of the entire

and Nebraska the ceuntry's corn crop
this year is 144, 100000 bushels less
than it Yves in 1898 Almost all Of
the states in the east and south have
less corn this year than last The
deficiency in those sections amounts
to over 10O,00O,00O bushels, and as
the east aud south, even in their best
years, find it necessary to buy great
quantities of grain in the west, 1t is
evident that this 100000 600 bushel
shortage this year will result in un
usually large purchases from the
states which produce surplus above
home needs. Not only are the east
and the south short, but even such
important states as Ohio, Indiana
and Iowa have less corn this yesI
than las. It is also worth while to
bear III mind that the surplus OF old
corn, carried over from preceding
crops, is much less now than it WAS
year ago Another important fact to
remember i /. that Europe is certain
to take more corn this year than 1t
has imported in the last twelve
months. The foreign demaud fol

the quantity which Europe takes is
