Corn continues in excellent demand and
conditions that forcing prices up are not
changed or now to the trade. The advance
in wheat has exerted only a slight influence
probably less than at any time this year.
The government report indicated crop we'll

fall, and our corn letters for weeks back
have dwelt particularly on the feature Of a
great supply of soft corn and a general scar

about the unusual demand for feed corn now
coming FROM all sections. The Eouth has al

must be admitted that If the clear, cool
weather Of the last three months could not
turn out contract corn, 1t is not reasonable

looks firmly established on a basis OF the
present level, price at which the 1902

not think the crop of 1908 will bring less

quality and already good part of 1t has
been disposed Of. This advance is likely to
be attended with small declines where we
would favor purchases.
