LARGE NEW HAY CROP
By FRANCIS w. H1RsT



LONDON, Aug. 9.--The hot weather
stagnation and Stock Exchange dullness
correspond with the general situation and
New York advices
Bankers are watching the gold position
and discussing what limits should be placed
on the total Of treasury bills. a new de-
fense OF the realm regulation forbids
under penalties any person to melt or use
otherwise than as currency any current
gold coin,
The wonderful weather has resulted In
the harvesting of a later hay crop over
large areas and in the mdlands one may
see the unusual sight of hay being stacked
In one field, while wheat or oats Is being
cut In the next one. Hay prices are double
the normal war figure
Foreign trade statistics for July show a
welcome reduction in the adverse balance.
