BAD WHEAT TUMBLE
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Drop Shown by Review for Week
Held Due to Huge Crop
Estimates.
By the Associate Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 15.-Rough turn'
bling down of wheat prices this week
has come about largely through simul-
taneous government crop reports In
Canada and the United States. Each
OF the two reports took the wheat
trade by surprise, and both indicated
that unofficial estimates OF 1925 pro-
duction had been millions of bushels
below the probable harvest yield.
Compared with a week ago, wheat this
morning was ~ to ~ cents a bushel
lower; corn. unchang to "A of: oats.
! y TO ! x cents down, and provisions.
varying from 5o-cent decline to rs
cent advance.
Wild fluctuations In wheat values
took place as soon as trading began
after the two government reports were
out. Prices smashed downward nearly
cents a bushel In the very first rush
to sell, and despite rebounds further
loss Of about cents ensued before the
day was at an end. One of the heavi-
est sellers on this occasion and at
other times throughout the week was
wfdely known Eastern speculator
who has often figured in heavy deal
ings In stocks and cotton as weIl as IN
wheat.
Abnorrnally light movement of do
mestic wheat to primary centers, to-
gether with an active deina nd from
millers did a good deal to rally the
wheat market later from the depress-
ing effects which the government re-
ports exercised on wheat prices. In
this connection, talk was current that
farmers had TO a great extent adopted
a holding policy for the time being,
and IL u-as pointed out that on one day
the receipts Of wheat at Chicago were

Corn prices were upheld both by the
government crop report and by the

weeks the visible supply Is smaller
than was the case last year. Oats

MIXED SITUATION FOR STOCKS
IS NOTABLE MARKET FEATURE

will have been found TO have rassed
into strong hands.
The steel stocks were paying more
attention to the assurances contained
in the midweek reports OF increasing
business. The Iron Trade Review said
that a moderate expansion Of incorn-
ing tonnage already experienced by
producers, with improving prospects
, Tor future months, sums UP the situ-
alton
The common Interpretation of the
extra dividend announcement by the
General Motor Corporation was two
fold. In the first place, Il was recos.
nized that one Of the largest produc.
ers of automobiles viewed conditions
favorzbly and was In such a strong
financial position that 1t could afford
to pass on additional benefits to It's
shareholders. Secondly, the General
Motors action was received in specu-
iative quarters as an Indication that
the strongest Wall Street interests
with which the corporation Is affiliat.
ed were satisfied with the outlook and
felt that the present optimism was
justified.
Stocks at New High Average.
A new high average of stock ex.
change prices was established. In spite
ouent recovery was sufficient TO bring
the figures for the entire list toward
the close Of the week to 1882. as com.
pared with 72.i2. the final average of
the week preceding. The increase
from January l to date was thereby
raised to s.S5.
There was scarcely any change In
the money market. Rates for call
funds, which had been quoted at AZ
per cent since the end OF July, fell
back to per cent. The Federal Re.
serve Bank showed a small reduction
In rediscounts and holdings Of Govern.
ment securities. while the ratio Of
reserve to liabilities remained at the
high level which has prevailed re-
Gently. The bond market responded
moderately to the slight drop in the
call rate. while In stocks its influence
was hardly perceptible.
Export-Import Spread Narrows.
The narrowing spread between the
merchandise export and import to-
tails was an interesting disclosure in
the statement OF foreign trade for
July. Although the value Of exports
last month exceeded that for any July
since 1920, the increase in the Import
/ total was correspondinsly large. In
fact, II was enough to bring the ex-
port excess down to the smallest
since 1914, with the exception OF last
year. In Jtine. revised fgures have
shown, imports we're about $2,oo0, 900
higher than exports, but this was ex-
ceptional.
The unsettlement in the grain
market was due to the publication OF
the Government crop report, which
indicated a smaller decrease In the to-
tai yield than had been anticipated.
Despite this reduction. the forecast for
the smallest output In several years
| exerted an influence. however, and the
uncertainty with which the. grain
trade viewed conditions was refectnA
In the daily fluctuations.

BUTTER MARKET WEAKER,
TRADE UNSATISFACTORY
Decline in Prices During Week in
Chicago Shows Lack of
Confidence.
BY the Associated Press

By tbs Associated Press
CHICAGO, August 15.-The weaker
feeling which prevailed on the butter
markets during the week ending
August was carried over into the
week under review and trade was very
unsatisfactory throughout the week.
Although there were occasional spots
where fair amount Of buying was in
evidence, taking the week as a whole
trade was dull and at the close the
tendency on all markets was toward
lower prices.
The greatest lack Of confidence an.
peared to localize in Chicago, where
prices declined a half cent from SatIr.
days close with another half cent de.
cline on Thursday. While trade on
Eastern markets was at no time brisk
fair clearance of receipts prevented
any sharp declines, although the mar
ket tones and trend indicated a lean
ing towards lower prices.
Last week there was evidence OF A
changing sentiment from the bull"
to the bear" side Of the market, and
during the week under review this
was even more apparent. There ap.
pears to be large number of oper-
ators who have been on the buying
side of the market that are now
switching their positions TO the sell
Ing Slde ms was especially in eVi-
dence on the December future deal at
Chicago during the week ending Au.
gust is. These options opened on
Monday at 45&, and broke sharply on
Wednesday and Thursday to a., but
showed a slight recovery to 44A on
Friday.
Much of the weakness on the future
as well as the spot markets may be
attributed TO the production outlook
for the month of August and the
likelihood OF a good Winter make.
Weather and pasture conditions ap-
pear quite favorable over the majority
of the producing sections for a con.
tinuation Of good make OF butter.
