CROP OUTLOOK
IS ONLY FAIR
Henry Cows, In Financial Sur
vey, Regards August As
Dubious Month

Henry Ciews. Of New York, says
In his weekly trade review:
General business. though slowing
down somewhat. is fairly active for
the season. Steel and munition
plants continue active and further
big war orders are in prospect. The
crop outlook is only moderately fair,
Warm weather has helped corn ma
terially and spring wheat In doing
well. while cotton is suffering from
too much rain. so are other crops
in sections. rhe harvest Is up
preaching. and August IL usually u
month OF deterioration for some I'm
poriant crops. The balance Of the
season Is also somewhat critical
for n the moist. cool June and July
are followed by hot, dry August
considerable damage will follow
Not much enthusiasm can be based
on the harvest this year.
''The local monetary outlook Is
satisfactory. Bank resources are In
good shape, aud the financial situa
ton has been greatly strengthened
by the influx OF about 5000 100000
OF gold which began In May. There
seems to be steady selling Of
foreign holdings Of American stocks
by the British treasury, While these
offerings are readily absorbed. such
a situation prevents any pronounced
bull market, and tends to keep fuc-
tuatons within safe limits. Need
less TO say that the big profits and
extra dividends which many indus
trials arc making are an important
factor in the investment situation.
