at the conclusion that 1t is almost
time to abandon all hope.
Heretofore many have endeavored to
keep up courage by claiming that
copious rains would restore many
fields almost to a normal condition.
concede that all signs point to q
decidedly small production. Judging
from the extraordinary advances
scored in Winnipeg as we'll as in
Minneapolis and Duluth, 1t seemed
plainly evident that the loss was
about as great in Manitoba and the
own territory.
Late estimates from trustworthy
sources suggest that the yield in the
three big States--Minnesota and the
Dakotas-will be not far from 140.-
100000 bushels, or about 1O.OOO,0OO
bushels below the previous low estt-
mate, compared with 100000 bushels
harvested last year.
If these estimates turn out to be
anywhere near correct, it is easy to
see that spring wheat millers will
soon be confronted with one Of the
most unsatisfactory situations they
have ever had to face. In other words,
the total production, irrespective Of
seed requirements, will not be suff1-
cient TO keep mills going at full capac-
ity, and hence 1t created no surprise
when it was found that agents of
spring wheat mills had been buying
hard winter wheat in the Southwest.
1t is highly doubtful. however, II
winter wheat rnillers will permit much
wheat to be shipped out of their ter
ritory, in view OF the fact that the
total production of all varieties will
hardly reach 610,o00,0oo bushels, which
will not leave a pound for export be-
cause We require at least 616,00o,0o0
bushels for seed and food.
Outlook for Corn.
Inactivity and narrowness were SAIL
ent features in corn markets much of
the week AT the outset there was
Slightly weaker tendency, which was
mainly due to more hopeful reports
from the West, crop prospects having
been improved by cooler weather and
more general rainfall. Consequently
1t is believed that the crop is bound
to be a record breaker, possibly over
3.oo0,O0o,000 bushels, provided the
weather continues reasonably good
hereafter.
Later in the week there was a
slightly stronger tendency, but 1t was
without particular significance, being
nncy in wheat. AS a matter of fact,
practically all conservative members
of the trade felt confident that corn
would have gone to lower levels be-
cause of the bright crop outlook, had
1t not been for the extraordinary dam
age to wheat. 1t is, of course, as
sumed that the higher cost OF wheat
| will lead to a larger consumption OF
! corn products.

not because a large following has
commitments in that month. but be-
cause of reasons that are more senti-
mental than otherwise. The interest
IN July is now narrowed down until 1t
is held by comparatively few people.
AT the same time, happenings in that
month are bound to have their effect
on other positions in all the markets
Of the world.
Circular writers this week will call
attention to the fact that the present
condition natures on July rs, week

of new will hardly come in.
Private reports on condition will DO

first half Of July. Traders will pay
more attention to reports from Texas
and Oklahoma, the source OF bearish
Alabama, as the sourSe OF bullish
news, than they will to information
that will tend to give a clearer idea
of the status Of the crop as whole.
The announcement on the weekend
that all labor troubles among the Ian
cashire mills had been settled for a
term of five years may have a. decided
effect on the market this week. for 1t
will help to stimulate the covering
of short cotton held abroad, and also
will encourage spnners to enter into
larger commitments in finished goods.
This will necessitate the buying OF

Bearish operations will be based on
the supplies of cotton left over from
the crop which spinners do not seem
any too eager to acquire at prevailing
prices. Anything from mills showing
curtailment will be made use of by the
short side. and their market letters
will contain the figures pointing to a
much larger visible and invisible sup
ply of cotton on the first Of septem-

The argument upon which these es-
Inmates will be based is that during

New York, july t7.-There was a
downward trend in domestic wheat
markets early in inc week. At times
offerings were decidedly heavier, and,
with demand less animated, prices
broke rather sharply. In the opinion
Of many sharp traders the weakness
was caused by proht-trading on the
part OF operators in the West, who
bought freely a few weeks ago, an
ticipating a bullish report from the

shown by the official documents was

TINT several large professionals found
1t easy TO take in handsome profits
before prices broke badly. Selling was
stimulated by the more favorable
weather in the Northwest, the tenn
peratnre being materially lower with
moderate rainfall over a fairly large
area on both sides OF the border. Con-
sequently, 1t was claimed that many
fields had been appreciably benefited.
Nevertheless. estimates as to the prob
