at 6.l0e less 2q6, although it may be
possible 10 instances still to have or

The disturbance of last week was
so extended As to cause a very con
siderable curtailment of business the
present week. Reports to us from the
West and domestic beet distribution
centers of the country show that the
cut made by the Federal became gen
craI outside of Atlantic and Gulf ports.
Business was accepted for beet Granu-
lated at 5.S0e basis, as reported here
with in detail.
Many iobbers throughout the country
have recently supplied themselves with
contracts covering sixty or more days,
and bringing the question of renewal
of supplies nearly up to the next dom
este beet refined season, which opens
in California In August and in October
on this side of the Rocky Mountains,
Inasmuch as this coming crop indicates
size exceeding any previous domestic

on conditions in Germanyeis a blows:
The past week brought u good
showers; on Friday in the south anal
east and yesterday and today in the
south, west and northwest, the latter
being quite local in character. Except
for these showers the weather was gen
orally dry and sunny with cool niXhts
and field work suffered no marked he
lay. Beet seeding is prac ticaIly firi'b
ed and the first hoeing has commenced
in, some quarters. In spite of the Cpkl
| nights the seed has sproutod satisfact
only and the early sowings are coming
up we'll and marking the rows in many
sections.
A rapid growth Is however hinhered
for the present by the cool nights, Lut
on the whole progress is sufficient, anil
the former baekWardness il not in
creasing. The wind and sun have. dried
the uplaRds excessively in some parts
of central, north and east Germany
/ and Penetrating, drenching rains are
greatly desired. These have fallen la
the northwest during the past few
days, and it is hoped will spread to
central and east German sections. An
| average decrease of go per cent in the
| size Of the beet sowings is stin expect
| ed.
