Spring AND WINTER
WHEAT BALANCED
Former Tends to Raise Mar
ket, Latter Has Bearish
Influence.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO, July 19.-Something re-
sembling an old-fashioned tug-of war
Is in progress between Winter wheat
and Spring wheat just at present. For
the most part, Winter wheat develop
ments are tending to promote lower
prices. whereas Spring wheat is doing
the exact opposite. In the nip-and-tuck
struggle going on, the influence Of news
about damage to Spring wheat has
proved the more powerful. and Winter
wheat thrashing returns above expecta-
lions have been outclassed as q market
influence.
The best available summing-up of
prospects regarding Spring wheat in
cludes reports that weather conditions
of the next week or two will largely
determine whether Canada Is to have
fairly liberal or small wheat crop.
II adequate rains are received before
August / throughout the Canadian
prairies, the yield is generally expected
here to be 10000 bushels or more,
compared with 276,000, 900 in 1929. On
drought conditions which have prevail
ed OF late is looked upon by leading
Chicago experts as virtually certain to
result in heavy deterioration, with the
crop already beyond the point where
q bumper yield in Canada is possible.
AS to the Spring wheat crop outcome
in the United States, recognized Chi
cago trade authorities say that as q
result Of extremely hot weather the
prospect now Is for 10000 900 bushels
less than when the Governments July
l report was made, and 5000, 900 BUSH
els less than last years harvest. The
loss is considered irreparable, and main
ly result Of premature ripening. Mean
while, thrashing return from the
United States Winter wheat belt sug-
gest that Winter wheat production will
total well in excess of the July Official
forecast. Moreover, the crop is moving
freely, causing rapid enlargement OF
the domestic visible supply, with Chi
cago prices of wheat future deliveries
lower than in any other of the worlds
markets.
Corn prices indicate general belief
that owing to excessive heat and stimuli
taneous dryneSS a heav ytoll has been
taken from the new corn crop. InaSmuch
as the adverse conditions have covered
the entire corn belt, the August crop
figures are expected to show decided
curtailment, especially If rains are not
received. Oats values are also respond
ing to adviceS Of considerable damage
of late to oats.
Some export buying has helped to
advance lard Lacking any special slim
illus, meats show a sag.

NEW 8-CYLINDER LINES BOOST
COMPETITION IN AUTO TRADE
Resumed Activity Brightens Dull Sum-
mer Period With Changes by
Three Producers.

With disclosure Of official figures on
the output of all factories for the hrst
half of the year comes the inevitable
comparison with 1929, showing volume
80 per cent lower than that of the pre-
vious period. This years total is given
at 2,322 ,211 cars, as against 3,413,8 04 in
the first six months of 1929. For 1928,
which is taken to provide a more ra-
tional basis of comparison, the first half
was 2,326,509. This places 1880 In q
somewhat favorable light, despite the
large portion of the production that
must be credited to the lowest-priced
makes.
The hope that the forthcoming six
months will repeat the history of 1923,
in which last-half figures showed a
bulge even above the same period of
1929, is being expressed. Whether it
will be realized or not depends on de-
velopments following September 1, when
an upturn to come from a pile-up of
delayed buying is looked for.
