crop accounts in August that are
bound to come. Now that the price
is so low and the market so short,
and at the same time the actual sup

question of whether the market can
stand bad accounts. At any rate
there is little to sell on unless we get
good advance. We think it is safer
to play the long side on declines
There will be penty of chances to
get out at a profit. Even if we land
at eight cents next spring the decline
