almost certain and such a high continuance
has heretofore been followed by bumper out

and even then the yield was far above the

market is large, but IL the promises on
which It was put out are correct there is no
reason why that circumstance should be
considered a bar to decline based on
natural influences. 1t will be remembered
that last fall and winter the long interest
was the greatest ever known and yet 1t is
matter of history that prices advanced
steadily in the face of it. OF course the
present crop Is still far from made and
even after being made must be gathered
