If the governne report of enormous
crops is correct why do prices keep
up? Evidently the spectators DO not
believe that the crop reports are rella-
bic. The truth probably is that the
crops already gathered are reasonably
good; the prospect for large crop OF
corn depends on frost keeping off in
September in the northern portion OF
the corn belt, and the cotton crop Will
be little below the average.
