Causes ascribed by traders for the drop ranged from announcement of the department of agriculture that the idle acreage scheme would be curtailed if not abandoned next year through better weather, foreign bear- ishness, technical reaction and silver nationalization to the August crop report, which was not as bullish as expected. ‘Wheat and rye fell the full five cents allowed for one day, while corn dropped the permissible four cents and barley and oats three cents. The close caught all prices at bot- tom levels. December contracts of wheat sold at $1.07, representing a loss of as much as 5% cents from Friday.

Crop Cut in Half An increase of a million bushels in the spring wheat crop over the July 1 estimate is forecast in the govern- ment’s crop report for August 1. In the July report, the yield was estimated at 89,394,000 bushels, while the latest figure set by the crop re- board is 90,438,000. ‘The yield, even at the increased fig- ure is but little more than half the size of the 1933 spring wheat crop of 116,370,000 bushels and only a small fraction of the 1927-31 average of 254,298,000. The early drouth which curtailed the crop severely in the Dakotas and adjacent areas was mainly responsible for the reduction. The crop board reported that in many localities of the drouth area tlie spring wheat crop was either a complete failure or would scarcely produce enough for next delivery, off the full four cents al- |W! lowed, wiping out almost all of the week's gain.
