state of the market Is hard to predict.
The lowest December cash price for
corn in Chicago was in 1896, when it
sold for 22h cents. The yield that
year was 2,2s3,00O,000 bushels, or
100, 100000 bushels less than the esti-
mate for 1904. But industrial condi-
tions are so much improved over
those of '96 that the consumptive de-
mand will be enough greater to more
than offset the larger yield of this
year. This and the other conditions
mentioned above are sure to keep the
price from doping below a figure
that will return the farmer a fair
profit on the crop, though not equal
to that of last year.

broken out they would have been
