"WASHINGTON". Aug. S. With living
costs soaring, the nation's principal
food crops showed sharp decreases dur
ing July, resulting from droughts and
pests over much of the growing area.
Wheat production fell off 221.000.000
bUFhels during the month, according to
the forecast today of the department of
agriculture: corn showed a reduction
of 27,000.000 bushels, oats 137.000,000
buhels. barley 27. no. 000 bushels, and
white potatoes 34.oou.0O0. Kice alone
showed an incrf-a.se.

cast at 940,000.000 bushels, but this was
an increase of 23.000.000 bushels over
the forecast last December 1, and 49.-
000.000 bushels over the five-year aver
age from 1913 to 1918. Winter wheat
showed the greatest loss with 124.000,
000 bushels, with spring wheat produc
tion showing a decline of 97,000,000
bushels.
Spring w-heat production fell off
sharply in North Dakota, Minnesota
and South Dakota. Largest prospective
reductions in corn yield were in Indiana,

want of rain, seriously, over large
areas, particularly in Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Okla
homa. Winter Wheat Suffers.
Winter wheat continued its down
ward course, due 10 the ill effects of
rust, scab and blight. The stock in the
southwest was described as the best in
years, being abnormal; but in the west
ern mountain districts, dry land wheat
is generally poor. In the northwest also
the crop is disappointing, owing to lack
of rainfall.
Spring wheat is even more seriously
affected. Most of the spring wheat
territory was in the area of drought and
this "with Serious damage from rust
and scab, grasshoppers in North Da
kota reduced the promise by 97,000,000
bushels.

ment today in which he told briefly of
the circumstances that led to Admiral

pared in advance would have to re
main in his pocket, as Secretary Dan
iels had censored it and told him not
to use iv. Secretary Daniels said:
'Admiral Rodman showed me a copy
oi a speech that he had written, and
I commented upon it and advised that
a certain paragraph be omitted. I did
not know- that I was acting in any of
ficial capacity as a censor at the time.
nor did I know then that the speech
had been sent broadcast in advance,
H..d I known that copies were in the
hands of the newspapers. I would have
made no objection to the use of the
speech.

commented upon it in an informal

higher at the Irregular opening.

CHICAGO, Aug. S. Anticipations which
were more than rut fulled that the govern
ment crop report would he tu!tth ntrt a
Kxd deal to turn the prices of all dlivarlen

waa nervous. H to 1 c. net nmner wun

In itrovlsions the outcome ranged from 15c
decline to lOc advance.
Government figures on the prospective
ylf'ld of corn came too -late to have any
direct Influence on the market. Unofficial
estimates, however, indicated such a de
cided reduction in the eventual crop total
that bearish Influnece and industrial fac
tors were at lea?t temporarily counterbal
anced. Almost from the outset, too, the
nmallneps of contract stocks of Corn in Chl
caRo had made shorts in the September de
livery anxious and had forced the price ot
that month sharply higher.
Cats swayed with corn.
Iahor difficulties that made hog value
weak were reflected by provisions.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
