CROPS ARE ASSURED

New York, Aug 3.-Bradstreet' to-
morrow will say: Better weather and
definite assurances of large crop yields
stimulate fall and winter buying, which
is apparently at or close to its zenith. A
smaller movement of winter wheat has
partly relieved the strain on the railroads
and made for a little more steadiness In
price of that cereal. which. however. has
sagged slightly as the feeling grows that
spring, like winter wheat, will prove
large crop. Reports from abroad are of
better than earlier anticipated wheat
crops. which seem likely to affect prices
further, but II Is TO be noted that export
trade in flour has improved and exports
tend to expand. The crop situation other
wise is very promising. The promise OF
cooler weather makes for increased activ-
ity in industry.
The iron and steel markets are little
quieter. due, mainly, to scarcity of sup
plies rather than to the weakening of de-
mand, which, as evidenced by advances
in pig iron, old material and some fin
ished lines, are still very heavy.
