CHICAGO, Aug. GA thirty mil
lion dollar short-term issue will be
offered shortly, it was made known

West Utilities Company 515 per cent
serial notes by Halsey, Stuart & Co.

Unusual interest attaches to this
issue for several reasons. 1t repre-
sents the largest issue of its kind
that has been annouced since the
bond market became quiet as a re-
suit of the rise in money rates. 1t
may mark the revival of interest in
the market, it is said.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The COM
monty accepted estimate of United
States wheat yield is 85O,Ooo0oO, and
for all Canada, 550,000,OO0, total of
1,40O,Oo0,0OO, deducting 750000,O0O
for home consumption, both United
States and Canada giving a surplus
not far below requirements for the
world. Even though these figures
are in no way Official, they I'M
doubtedly have something to do with
the shy retiring policy Of the i'm
porter. Beyond some harm to the
crop, nothing but occasional rallies
are possible.
