president that the monetary situa-
ton was entirely sound and that ade-
quate credit was available in every

From the agriculture department,
a whole series Of indications. il was
said, built up a conclusion that the
buying power Of the agricultural
producer had generally this season
been materially increased In COM
p~Arison with conditions Of recent
years. Cattle prices were making
high records, the president was told,
the wheat output and price alike
were better; and corn producers with
a somewhat lesser price than last
year, were realizing a larger crop.
In the south a short cotton crop
had been somewhat compensated for
BY higher prices, the president was
informed.
In the industrial field, the presi-
dent was advised by Secretary
Hoover that American exports were
reached new high levels, and that
the import trade Was most substan-
tial. though the dollar volume during
1927 Il date has been less than that
Of the previous volume during 1927
to date has been less than that OF
previous years, largely due to one
fact, the decreased price Of rubber.
