After hearing arguments on the plea in the morning, the Court of Appeals announced at 2 p m. that the trial ought to be postponed, admonishing Gagliardi to reconsider his refusal to give the defense more time. The three-judgappeals panel was divided on the ruling, with Judge Henry J. and Judge W Hired Feinborg Friend e deciding m the majority opinion that the Court of Appeals lacked the authority tc order Gagliardi to grant more time to the defense. Admonition Enough The admonition proved sufficient, because Gagliardi soon summoned the prosecution and the defense to the trial court room to tell them that he was adopting the suggestion of the Appeals Court for a postponement.

Weather a Factor The new crop estimates, coming as the wheat harvest s ending and the corn harvest is getting under way, were in marked contrast to the disappointing reduction m estimates made lest month.

Crucial Harvest i and world prices have been high Exports are expected to shave the carryover still more m the coming 12 months.
