sorts OF theories have been advanced by
economists to account for the increasing
prices and much stress has been laid on
the existence OF beef trust. However.
facts and figures Of supply and demand

having a tendency TO allay apprehension
regarding the outlook for money this fall.

time accurately 20 forecast conditions in
the money market for this fall. but
among the money lending institutions the
feeling prevails that commercial demand
and crop requirements will keep money
actively employed and that a steady tone

rates provided a proper degree Of discre-
ton be exercised In loans and credits.
