CANADA WHEAT CROP
IS OvERESTlMATED
Yield of 400, 900, 900 Bushels Based
on Perfect Weather Until
End of Harvest.
Special Dispatch to The star.

0bOSAaA OloPdtSh 70 Inc DUET.
TORONTO, August 1.-The 4,000, 00O,-
600 bushel estimate Of the Canadian
wheat crop made by the president of
the Canadian National Railways is in
terrreted as an estimate of the yield
that may be expected If perfect weather
conditions prevail between the present
date and that Of actual harvesting.
For since this estimate was made the
Canadian National Railways itself, re.
ports few individual cases of leaf and
stem rust in Manitoba and Eastern
Saskatchewan, while the rains are de-
clared to have come too late In some of
the drought areas to improve the wheat.
The grain is reported also as being
unduly hurried to maturity by the ex-
tremely high temperatures of the last
week, especially in Manitoba.
Cooler weather is new wanted in
order to allow the wheat berry to fll
out properly, while rain Is still needed
in Southern Alberta. But some dis
tricts, such as Yorktown and Verge
vile, report conditions as ideal, with q
bumper crop In prospect. Hence q pre-
liminary estimate that represents the
crop as fidwav between the 272,0oo.-
600 bushels of last year and the $780,
100000 bushels Of 1928 may not prove
far wrong.

BOND HOUSES PLAN
CHANGES IN METHODS
Effort Will Be Made to Popularize
Purchase Of Sound
Debentures.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 2.-Of one OF
the largest offerings Of public utility
bonds this week, so it was learned to-
day, the greater part was sold direct
to life insurance companies by the
banking houses that underworld 1t.
This follows out a practice that has
been growing for the last few months
and reached its maximum proportions
In this issue.
Ordinarily the life insurance COM
panies take bonds from the distribut-
ing houses, which in turn obtain them
from the underwriters, at the usual
concession of II of per cent from the
list price. In this particular case they
bought them direct from the origin
ators of the business at u OF l per
cent on the publicly advertised quota
ton. The advantage to them 1s not
only that of obtaining better return
on their investment but in securing
siseable blocks of bonds rather than
having them come from numerous
brokers in blocks ranging from $4,000
I'D to 100000.
Obviously this Is TO the disadvantage
of the retailers. There is keen dis
appointment among investing houses
over this new turn in a distributing
situation that has become increasingly
complicated and improbable during
the past year The life insurance COM
panies are the best customers Of the
dealers and as the greater part Of the
buying of high-grade securities this
Summer has been for their account,
the loss Of this clientele cuts deeply
into the earnings of the middlemen In
the investment field.
There is q general feeling that
methods of distribution of bonds which
have been In vogue for some time must
be changed before the private investor
again comes back into the market on
the scale Of two or three years ago.
When it was easy to sell bonds anyone
with selling ability could go out and
distribute them to the extent of his
allotment More emphasis was placed
then on a few points than on the
intrinsic value of the security. This
has resulted in the purchase of bonds
Of inferior quality by investors who did
not look deeply into what they bought
and today are growing over the de-
probation that has occurred in them.
Efforts are being made in most of the
large bond distributing organizations
TO get the business back on a sounder
basis and to train men to sell from the
standpoint of equity value rather than
Of immediate market prospects.

DIES MONIES Up Another
threat in the versatile Notre Dame
otfense has been added by Knute
Rockne. It Is a lateral pass. and
its execution Is camouflaged BIZ
the fake OF a short side spinner
and criss-cross play.
The faxed plays actually are run
off first to confuse the defense
The sequence follows in this man
ner:
In the c~riss-cross play. Schwartz
No. ! back. makes a half turn 10
his right and gives the ball to No.
2 back. who IS either Savoldi or
Mullins. for a wide dash to the
short or weak side. In this IN
stance. to the left. as the backfield
Is unbalanced to the right.
This criss-cross, even II unsuc-
.cessful. at least should pull thr
opposing tackle out toward his end
10 allow Schwartz the next time 70
spin completely around. and buck
the inside OF the weak side OF the
line. after making a preten5e at
repeating the c~rtss-cross.
BY now Rockne expects the short
side or the defensive end and
tackle TO be In a quandary, and
they probably are.
So Schwartz again fakes the
criss-cross TO Savoldi. and then
feints another spinner. BY this time
Carideo. No. 3. and Metzger, right
guard. have had ample time t.
come around and haraSs he end
and Brill. No. 4, to come out and
protect Schwartz as he completes
the turn and starts for the side
lines.
As soon as Savoldi has got hy
the right end, Schwartz losses him
the ball over the head OF the in
coming end. Brill continues on
down the field to block the sec
ondary.
