$50. .OOO. 900 bush. does not look very formi-

In 1904 the total was 735 600. 900 bush. from
which IL gradually dwindleti to e2i .33s 100

around to the idea that once the first irre-
sistible rush Of receipts Ia past the situation
Is to be more bullish than at the first glance
seemed possible. Meantime the stock Of

an iron grip despite tho big movement
OF the crop In the Southwest and the ex-
pectation OF an unprecedented crop In tho
Northwest. where the harvesting will be in
full swing during the coming week.
Corn Is q weather proposition. The crop
prospects are good. American stocks are
small. but the worlds shipments tn us far
this season are treble those for the same
time last year. The price too is i"c. higher
