BEARISH
ON ESTIMATE

CHICAGO, Aug. II G.N.SO.
Wheat prices started lower today
on selling caused by a bearish
Interpretation on the United
States and Canadian spring crop
estimates.
A reaction of a cent uncovered
new buying support predicated
on strength in stocks and cotton
and part of the early losses were
recovered. The market traded
to midSesSion at levels moder-
ately lower.
Liverpool construed the United
States report as bearish and
cables were sharply lower than
due, ruling ed off on late cables.
Local traders took the same
view of the report, a production
of 281,000,444 bushels of spring
wheat being considerably larger
than expected.
An estimate 2O0,OC0,OOO bushels
less than looked for, boosted corn
prices sharply at the opening,
but further country selling and
weakness in wheat brought a re-
action from best levels. Around
noon prices were unchanged to
1sc off. Oats and rye were easy.
Estimated carlot receipts here
were: Wheat, 81; corn, 100, and
oats, 28O.

Failures Are FeUer
And Liabilities Lou

Business defaults reported to
BradStreet's fell during the week
ended August 4 from 576 to 572.
The normal expectation at this
time is for a heavier decrease.
Hence Bradstreet's index rose to
171.5, the highest point regis
tered during this depression.
Liabilities, however, declined
66.7 per cent from the previous
week, Bradstreet's finds, due to
the fact that there were fewer
large failures. All trade groups,
except wholesale, showed lessened
liabilities, with the retail and
banking divisions showing the
heaviest decline.
