The report stated that it was the belief of the company that there will be enough rice of the table grade variety available until the new crop is available. Referring to export allocations, the Market Letter said the reports during the first half of 1949 are large and if the possible allocation under the European Recovery Program is made, all of the surplus rice that is still in the farmers hands will be absorbed. Giving the present rice picture, the report said that the average price decrease since the government report in July is, at the present time, better than 30 per cent. This indicated, the report continued, that the rice had already had as great or a greater decline than most food commodities.

"A very large portion of the remaining rice is in the hands of the farmers which gives added strength to the market, for farmers are in a position to continue holding; many of them do not need to borrow, and those who do have access either to the government loan program or to local banks." set up for the veteran in train- ITS ECONOMY iff Year round home garden -ft. by 100 2.
