WEEK SEES LOSSES
IN GRAIN MARKET
Prediction of Biggest Crop
Ever Known Breaks
Wheat Values.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 4.-Prospects of
a. big crop of Spring wheat both in
the United States and Canada have
carried wheat prices rapidly down
grade this week. Largely as q re-
suit, the wheat market showed net
losses ranging from 9h to liz a
bushel, compared with week ago.
Meanwhile, corn is 1% to 5% down
and oats IL to 2h Off, but provi-
sions is to At up.
Little Black Rust Damage.
Notwithstanding that the Spring
wheat crop, domestic and Canadian as
well, has yet to pass through it's
critical period, the outstanding factor
has been the persistent apparent
absence of damage so far from black
rust or any other menace. Only about
10 days are left in which a disaster
by black rust in the United States
is likely. Emphasizing this as
weight on values was general recog-
milton that large crop of Spring
wheat would mean an exportable sur
plus for the United States. Such q
probable surplus was apparently con-
fronting not only a big yield in Can
ada, but also a much increased pro
ductton throughout Europe.
Export Demand Poor.
Enlarging receipts of Winter Wheat.
on the other hand, have met with
unusual dearth of export demand.
Furthermore, specially untoward
development in connection with Win
ter wheat was decided fall in cash
prices at st. Louis just when the
main movement of wheat from Illinois
farms was getting well under way.
According also to most unofficial esti-
mates which were current, the total
expected wheat yield in the United
States this season, Winter wheat and
Spring together. is 6,00O.0 900 bushels
in excess of the government June l
forecast. A heavy brokerage failure
here was another unsettling circum-
stance as the week came to an end.
Biggest Crop Ever Known.
Trade estimates that the new crop
will be the largest on record, 70O,-
100000 bushels more than last years
total did a good deal to pull down
values OF corn and oats.
Advancing quotations on hogs

THREE CHIEF FACTORS
NOTED IN BUSINESS
Retail Sales Good-Cheerful Tone
in Industry-Better Outlook
for Crops.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 4.-Bradstreet's S
says today:
Three features deserve note as the
business world enters the vacation
season. These are the fairly active
buying of seasonal goods at retail,
the cheerful tone in most industries.
which, despite seasonal quieting, find
themselves in better shape as regards
operations than a year ago, and the
very decided turn for the better in
late-planted crops, especially Spring
wheat and corn, which have been
favored in big surplus regions by
plenty of moisture and good growing
weather. To this latter grouping
might be added the rather better than
expected showing made by the cot
ton crop. as shown by the Govern
ment crop report.
AS regards retail buying, it is
worth noting that far better season
for Summer goods has been ex-
perienced this year than last, this
finding additional stimulus now in
vacation buying and heavy advertis-
ing of sales

wheat prices during the week to the
lowest of the season.
1t has been established that the
decline in cotton prices during the
Winter of 1924-25, and the constant
evidence that the cotton goods indus
try was not prospering, failed to de-
ter the cotton growers from planting
a huge area. The trade had not an
ticipated any such increase as $780,
900 acres. 1t was not prepared for
the Department. estimate of crop
of IA .339 900 bales, against 19,61S,75l
a year ago. Consequently cotton
prices broke again quite badly. From
now on it will be what it always is at
this season, a weather market" !"
Drought and insect pests may bring
about a pronounced change. But at
the moment indications are for a cot
ton crop well above the average and
very high as compared with the Sc
ries of shortages in the three lean
years, 1922, 1923 and 1924.
American Loan Sustains Lira.
Italian exchange rallied at the close
Of the week after having touched a
new low for all time. This recovery
was commonly attributed to the use
for supporting purposes of the
$50, 100000 American loan recently
granted to Italy. Whether or not this
was true, the Italian financial situa-
ton has long been harder to read
than any of the others. 1t is inter
woven with the political future and,
of course, political uncertainties have
been emphasized as the Ira went
down.
French Francs Also Improve.
French francs also took a turn for
the better at the week end. But this
quite well may have represented pure
speculation, the covering in of part
of a supposedly large short interest.
The latest French bank statement
showed record totals both for govern
ment borrowings and note circulation,
the former increasing in a single week
over two billion francs. These in
creases were made possible by the
adoption of the new French financial
program in the last week of June,
under which the limit on paper note
issue was raised six billion francs,
and on advances to the state" d
similar amount. All this simply recog
nizes the condition which has long
existed, namely, that France was
farther along in initiation than it was
officially admitted.
The outcome is going to be inter
esting. But, at least, the present
French government has had the
courage to face the facts, which are
that there can be no proper budget
balancing until the short-term bonds,
steadily maturing, are taken care of.
and until provision has been made
for serving the war indebtedness to
the United States and Great Britain.

ing"
Still though l did not see his head,

his head would be fair mark, so

through the snow, and down fell the
horns. | leaped off the tree like a

him, cut his throat in the crack of a

pulse up so high for sport that l
though every minute was an hour, as

take them in good ground l could kill
half dozen of them before night.
The buck skinned, l cut off one
whole side of the ribs, tied the meat
up in the skin and started off on the
trail of the others.

saw my two sons, who had heard me
shoot, and finding my tracks in the
