thus far incurred seems to have been, to
considerable extent, discounted in
both the grain and stock markets. The
extremists of both sides have had their
say. and it seems as If both markets
had settled down to the real facts
which, as usual, lie between the two ex-
tremes. Last year, according to the de-
partment of agriculture, the money
value of the corn crop WAS S751,0O0.0 900
or about Sc cents per bushel, these pre-
sumably being farm values. Should We
realize a l,Io0ooo,oO0 crop it would only
have to sell at an average of little
over "A cents at farms to bring the same
amount in value as last year. This
means that an advance of about cents
per bushel over last year would amply
compensate for this years losses in dol
lars and cents AT New York and Chi
cents above last years figures; so that
should these differences continue the
crop as a Whole would produce a higher
Value than last year. To sum up, certain
sections have unquestionahly suffered
