LADY DOYLE IS I GIVEN MESSAGE (Continued from Page One) JAS. E. I5KARD Merchandise Adjuster SEE TOMORROW'S BIG; ANNOUNCEMENT Grain Markets Very Unsettled; Harvest Begins .'"WASHINGTON, July 14 Domes tic grain markets wore very unsettled during the week ending July la. Wheat prices made further declines, influenced by increased offerings of iew winter wheat, continued slow export inquiry for the largo North American stocks and gonornlly favor able prospects for the new wheat crop In the northern hemisphere, accord ing to the- weekly grain market re view of the United States bureau or Agricultural economics. Peed grains. 6n the other hand, were firmer under & good demand for the moderate- of ferings. ; Com prices advanced, while fats and barley held steady at mos; imirkota. Bye was lower with wheat and flax declined sharply with (ipoc jprlces near the- new crop basis. ( Crop developments were again an Important factor in tho wheat market. Prospect for a crop in tho northurn .hemisphere' about the same as last year, together with another large curry-over, had a weakening influence VPm both tho domestic and foreign markets. Tho domestic wheat crop iow promises to be as largo as the 1!)U0 harvest, with some decrease in winter wheat offset by an increase in spring wheat. A crop of aboyt 650. 000,000 bushels of winter wheat wan Vindicated by tho condition of ths crop July 1. Of this, approximately j 340.000.000 bushels In hard winter, t 175.000.000 bushels soft red winter j and 43.000.000 bushels fall-sown types j of white wheats. A spring wheat crop j other tiffin Durum, of 1U3.000.000 bushels was indicated by tho July 1 i condition, with the Durum wheai crop forecast at 57,000,000 bushels. f The Canadian wheat acreage la j slightly larger than last season ano is officially reported at 24,6H3.O0i ! acres. The condition of the crop July; 1 was placed at 01 per cent of the , tor year average yield, which would Indicate a harvest of, approximately) 305.000,000 bushels, compared with , the final cstlmnto of 300.000,000 1 bushels harvested in 1029. European j wheat crop prospects' are Irregular.; Harvesting of winter wheat Is nearing j completion in tho Mediterranean countries. Trade reports indicate t. j downward revision of tint early offio-J lal Spanish forecast from the near record flguro of 101.000,000 busheH;. Fronch and Italian crops also may be considerably below expectations. Oi-. the other hand, yields considerably above those of last year aro reported for tho countries of tno Lower Dan ube where tho harvest is in progress. Conditions in Northwestern Europe, Including tho Scandinavian countries, Germany and Poland, are generally above average, although recent dry hot weather has resulted in damage In somo areas. Supplies of old when remaining in the principal exporting countries appear to be around G0, 000.000 to 76,000.000 Imslielu large. than a year ago, but this Increase Is probably more than offset by smallo stocks on becan passage and In Eur ope.
