The Commerce Department re-
ported yesterday that gold imports
during July amounted to s519,e74,-
600, nearly half of which was in
foreign coin.
The July imports were $644,24l,-

for the first seven months of 1910
was S3,265, $4,000, an increase of
1866 ,295 900 over the corresponding
period last year.
The amount of gold earmarked for
foreign account during July in
creased by s55,064 900 compared
with an increase of s437 $4,000 in
June.
The United Kingdom, as usual,
was the largest shipper of gold 10
this country, with s301 ,737 900,
while Canada was second with s172,-

during the early months of the war,

Several Latin American countries

which included these amounts:

Trade Sources See
Near Record Year
In Farm Equipment
Volume Runs Is Per Cent
Ahead Of First Half
Lost Year
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated freSS.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-With sales
volume Of farm equipment running
20 to rs per cent ahead of last year
and farm cash income for the first
six months of 1910 showing an in
crease of per cent over the 1899
period, trade sources today looked
for a sales year in the industry al
most equal to the record breaking
year of 1887.
Some of the leading industrial
units showed even a larger in
crease than the average in sales
to date during the fiscal year end
ing october 81. Moreover, al
though export business has been
considerably upset by the war,
some trade sources estimated that
foreign sales including Canadian
may nevertheless top last years
volume.
The gain in farm income, with
which equipment expenditures of
farmers tends to vary directly, to-
gether with slightly higher grain
prices at present than a year ago
holds forth the prospect, trade
sources say, for equipment buying
to continue good enough at least to
see many Of the larger companies
past the end of their fiscal year.
Some trade sources believed that
the farm equipment industry is
growing out of the stage where it
can look to replacement of horse
drawn with mechanical equipment
as source of business. With what
is thought to be nearly 100000
tractors in use on American farms,
1t Is likely that a replacement mar
ket of about 10000 units annually
should be available. With this
larger number of tractors in use,
the repair and replacement part
business will assume increased i'm
portance.
Trend of sales is still in the di-
rection of low-priced small COM
bines and tractors with their &C
companying implements although
by comparison hay-making machin-
cry has made an unusually good
showing this year as a result of
good hay crops.
International Harvester, number
one firm in the field, reports its
sales show 80 per cent increase
over the corresponding period a
year ago. This percentage is
somewhat greater than that for
the industry as whole.

ward in cash markets this week.
For the sixth week in a row the
Associated Press index of IS whole
sale commodities declined.
In the latest period the index,
based on 1926 as 100, slipped to
1884 from 69.71 in the previous
week. A year ago it was 64.05.
Markets faced the problem of
new crops moving to market and in
many cases adding to present large
surpluses.
Atthe same time belief was grow
ing among observers that the longer
the war between Britain and Ger
many continues, the less chance
has this Nation of disposing of its
excess supplies rapidly enough to re
move the glut from domestic chan
nels.
Weakness among industrial staples
was most pronounced in non-ferrous
metals.
Major producers of copper cut
their price to II cents pound after
holding at 1l1a cents since late
February. Smaller sellers of the rec
metal promptly lowered their base
to 1024. Two downward revisions
put lead at the lowest level since
April last year.
Other raw materials trimmed in.
