NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Hutton's wire says:
crowd has been supporting on a heavy scale,
while bears have been less in view. On the
other hand, too, there have been fair buyers to
cover. August was strong and offerings light.
Crop news was stin favorable, but had no effect
the market. Spot demand Is somewhat
better IL this should spring up the market
would no doubt advance sharply. The bull
crowd is in control and long as they are
prices look like going higher
