conditions In Southern and Central
Saskatchewan and Eastern Alberta.
The unfavorable European crop
prospects were attributed to a decline
IN acreage for harvest, especially in
Central Europe, and unsatisfactory
weather conditions. The bureau said
rainy Fall and cold Winter were
followed by cool rainy Spring that
delayed seeding and crop 'evelopment
May brought some improvement but
unusual heat in June caused deteriora-
ton.
Numerous Control Measures.
Short grain supplies have led to
numerous governmental control meas
ures. The bureau reported these for
Italy, Germany. Poland. France and
Czechoslovakia.
The Paris Office of the bureau said
the 1887 Durum wheat crop in the
Western Mediterranean basin was
expected to surpass the short crop of
1885. Production for Italy, Algeria,
Morocco and Tunisia was estimated
at 103,249 900 bushels, compared with
6e,l25 900 last year and an average
for l93l-35 Of 1lO,42l.O 900.
Australia's first estimate on the
wheat area for l937-38 was l3, 700 900
acres. compared with l2,6Os,OO last
season.
The department reported exports Of
fresh apples from the United States
for the season just ended were small
er, while fresh pear exports gained.
Apple exports from July through
MAY amounted to about 6,720,OOO
bushels, compared with 12,239,5OO
bushels the previous season The ex-
port movement was smallest in IA
years. The department said this re-
suited from short United States

European importing countries.

generally satisfactory undertone pre-.
vailed in the London security and
commodity markets during the last
week but b'4siness expansion was
checked by European dangers arising
from the Spanish war. Contrbutory
factors were the Chinese crisis, the
holiday season and the Johannesburg
gold share position, which is not yet
completely cleared up, with large lines
waiting to come on the market II
there is any rise in quotations
In view Of these circumstances, the
steadiness OF industrial equities and
the firmness of gilt-edged issues rep
resents satisfactory picture, although
the volume Of business is small. 1t is
realized that all internal business
pointers are encouraging, but brokers
are advising postponements of equity
purchases until the European political
clouds disperse.
Britain's overseas trade for the first
half of 1887 is regarded by experts
as excellent. Growth of the export
ume. while the increase in imports Is
mainly due to higher prices for raw
materials, which presages greater
purchasing power in the world agri-
cultural communities, opening up the
prospect of a further advance in
British exports The steady monthly
increase of imports over exports is
viewed complacently by the authori-
ties, who admit this tendency is likely
to continue throughout the rearma-
n1ent period, but are not afraid Of any
adverse effect on sterling exchange.
The recrudescence here of rumors
Of discriminatory tax on foreign capi-
tai In Wall Street has caused sub
stantial sales of American securities
by leading investment trust companies
II there is no foundation for this
fun1or, a prompt denial would serve
q useful purpose and reassure solid
investors without stimulating undue
speculation. which is now dormant
until Autumn.
The French situation is unchanged
Tentative discussions of London loan
have so far been abortive There is
little evidence of repatriation of funds
from here. This weeks drop in Bank
OF England note circulation is merely
seasonal and does not denote French
dehoarding
The stock markets are about to
enter the three weeks account period
covering the August bank holiday and
therefore quiet conditions are prob
able unless a mira culous clearing up
Of the European situation revives op-
tinism and releases accumulated
funds awaiting investment.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON.

HSsOlidtcu IINSb othbiStlCldH
NEW YORK, July 17.-Industrial
and agricultural commodity prices
parted ways this week, the former ad-
vancing substantially, the latter weak
ening.
These major groups were subjected
to two diverse forces. Industrial staples
were in heavy demand. especially
among the metals, and available sup
plies were limited. Farm products, on
the other hand, felt the pressure OF
larger current and prospective sup
plies despite well-sustained demand.
The Associated Press weighted index
Of IS important wholesale commodity
prices declined from 9228 per cent OF
the 1925 average to 81 80. and COM
pared with 7699 year ago
Scrap Up 81 \ Ton.
Steel scrap, up 81 a ton, set the pace
for industrial staples. Demand was
reported to have outstripped offerings
OF the metal in both Chicago and
Pittsburgh as approximately one fifth
OF the steel industry's capacity was re-
opened following strike shutdowns.
Other metals-antimony, tin and zinc
also advanced
Hides moved up sharply as tanners
raised bids in an effort to build stocks
IN market swept clean OF leather bv
Two years OF drought, and In face OF
record-breaking production Of shoes.
Lumber sold of heavily, and has
dropped about per cent in the past
two months. A reduction in the resi-
dental and industrial building tempo
during recent months and increasing
inventories in mill hands were said
to have been the cause. Rubber and
turpentine also dipped slightly.
Among the agricultural staples,
corn, oats, cotton, hogs and lamb
We're weak. Some commodity men
held larger supplies would be on the
market this Fall when crops were
counted, hence lower prices were In
dicated.
Wheat and Rye Ahead.
Wheat and rye, on the other hand,
bounded ahead on strong demand, In
each instance, the crop outlook was
either clouded by unfavorable growing
weather IN this country or Canada,
or both.
Food prices were somewhat lower:
declines in eggs, sugar and -four more
than balanced increases in cocoa, lard
and butter.
Textiles resumed their downward
trend this week. The heavy demand
noted in the previous period having
abated somewhat. Cotton cloth and
silk both slipped, while wool picked up
fractionally.
The index, with its components' in
dex based on 1925 as 100. compared
as follows

STEEL SCRAP STRONG.

Jones g. Co., in a Pittsburgh dispatch,
said price of No. l heavy melting steel
scrap had been advanced Is cents to
$ls.75 a ton. The dispatch also re-
ported a 81 advance in Philadelphia,
while other buying points showed

an increase in sale price.

that while there they endeavOred to
discover flower that might apprO-
priately be called the international

a special effort to notice which flow

that there was one flower which
adorned nearly every home ana
cheered up even the lowliest cottage,
and this flower, which was the red
