Washington, Aug. 1—Owing
l< a shortage of cash to handle
the crops, the government has
decided to deposit from twenty
five to fifty million dollars a

thought will materially assist
in clarifying a situation rather
clouded at present. New York,
which usually loans'cash to the

able to do so this year, hence
this action by the government
which is along that lined out
some time ago by President
