ported at "a per cent of normal while
the demand was at 90, the ratio of
supply to demand being about 81. This
figure comes at time when cotton

acres Of wheat win be cut, the,abandon-
nient being somewhat heavy, due to
freezing out stands to a point where
harvest is hardly worth while. The low
condition Of oats Is also due to poor
