"CHICAGO, Jnly 8-(P-De-pressed' by prospects of a huge Canadian wheat crop and by heavy marketings of US grain as harvesters progress northward, .world wheat prices today slump ed mora than a cent a bushel to the lowest levels in several years in - some markets. 1 Chicago wheat closed 94-1 cent lower than yesterday, at the lowest Quotations of the year and the lowest for July in seven years. Final figures of 66- for July contracts and HVk-Wn were only 1 to 4 cents above the season's bottom and were about 14 cents below the highs established a month ago. Crop Over Average Liverpool prices also were off at the lowest point in nine years.

Gestures Of Recovery Fail Stock Market Falls Back Into Quiet State as Slow Day- Ends' NEW YORK, July 8-(i5VThe stock market made few feeble recovery gestures today, then re sumed the slumber which it started at the beginning of the week. While some utilities, coppers rubbers, mail orders and special ties managed to emerge with mo dest advances, numerous Issues finished unchanged to down a shade. Attendance in boardrooms was virtually at sero, made trades electing to lengthen the week end holiday. Dealings, conse quently, were exceptionally light. In fact, the turnover of 11 3,320 .shares was one of the smallest two-hour aggregates in 21 years.

A final session of the three-state hear ing will be held July 17 in Santa Rosa; Calif. Word of the hearing dates was received from the division of marketing and marketing agreements of the U. 8. depart ment of agriculture at San Fran cisco. The hearing has been called to consider amendments to the marketing agreement and order regulating hops grown in Cali fornia, Oregon and Washington proposed by the industry control board administering the pro gram. Concurrently with each of the three sessions, meetings will be held to obtain information needed to enable the secretary of agriculture to establish the salable quantity of 1939 hops as required under the agreement and order. The federal hop marketing program was Instituted at the opening of the 1938 season at the request of the .Industry In efforts to stabilize hop produc tlon in the United States in line with consumption needs and pre vent surpluses which demoralize grower returns. Changes Proposed As proposed, the amendments would provide the following: 1. Permit reduction of allot ments made to growers who make no effort to grow hops in quantities equal to their allot ments; 2. Make applicable to 1938 crop hops the 1939 allotment certificates if a grower's 1939 production does not equal his 1939 allotment; 3. Permit a grower to pur chase from another grower un certificated hops in a quantity equal to the difference between the purchasing grower's produc tion and his allotmen ; 4. Prevent substitution of other hops for those upon which insurance has been collected; 6. Grant exemption from quan tity regulations of that quantity of 1939 hops produced by a grower and covered by contract executed before June 14, 1938, which is in excess of that grow er's allotment. Allotments Proportionate The total salable quantity es tablished for each crop year Is allotted proportionately to each grower on the basis of the quan tity of hops he produced. Indi vidual allotments represent that portion of the total quantity of the season's crop which each producer may dispose of in inter state commerce. Notice of each grower's sal able allotment will be forwarded to his address of record immedi ately following approval by the secretary of agriculture of each grower's 1939 crop estimate of production, according to hop con trol board headquarters here. Determination of each grow er's salable percentage of the 1939 crop is made after the to tal quantity of hops to be pro duced during the year by all growers has been estimate These individual salable per centages are computed by divid ing, the salable quantity of 1939 hops which will be approved by the secretary of agriculture un der terms of the agreement, by the total quantity of hops pro duced by all growers during the year 1039. Each grower's al lotment of the total salable quantity will be that same sal able percentage applied to each grower's estimated 1939 produc tion.

Hop Market Is Quiet, Steady Attention Called to Meet Here July 14 to Talk Program Changes ' Hop markets on the Pacific coast remained quiet but about steady during the week ended July 5, according to the Weekly Hop Market Review of the Agri cultural Marketing Service. De mand from both domestic and foreign interests was dull for spot supplies and interest in con trading for future deliveries of new crop hops was less active. De liveries on contracts were supply ing most current needs of brew ers which tended to limit trading in the spot market to occasional small lots for immediate require ments. Crop prospects continued generally favorable in West Coast producing areas although condi tions were somewhat irregular in some sections. The division of marketing and marketing agreements of the de partment of agriculture announ ced July 1, that a public hearing has been called on proposed amendments to the marketing agreement and order regulating the handling of hops produced in Oregon, California and Washing ton. Sessions of the hearing will open at 9:30 a. m. at Yakima. Wash., July 11; at Salem, Ore., July 14; and at Santa Rosa, Cali fornia, July 17. A meeting will be held concur rently with each session to obtain the information needed to estab lish the "salable quantity" of 1939 hops, as required under the marketing agreement and order. Proposed by Board The amendments on which. evi dence will be received at the three sessions of the hearing were pro posed by the hops control board The board administers the mar keting agreement and order. The proposed amendments would; permit reduction of al lotments to growers who make no effort to grow hops in quan tities equal to their allotments; make applicable to 1938 crop nops the 1939 allotment certifi cates, if a grower's 1939 produc tion does not equal his 1939 al lotment; permit a grower to pur chase from another grower un certificated hops in a quantity equal to the difference between the purchasing grower's produc tlon and his allotment; prevent substitution of other hops for those upon which Insurance has been collected; and grant ex emption from quantity regula tions on that quantity of 1939 hops, produced by a grower and covered by a contract executed before June 14, 1938, which is in excess of that grower's allot ment. The "salable quantity" of 1939 hops will be determined by the secretary of agriculture. Un der the program, the salable quantity is allotted proportion ately to each grower, based on the quantity of hops he produces. Individual allotments represent that portion of the total quan tity of hops, produced by each grower, which may be handled in interstate commerce. The proposed amendments may be tentatively approved by the secretary following the hear ing if such action is warranted by evidence presented at the hearing. If the amendments are tentatively approved they will be submitted to the Industry for final approval evidenced by a vote of growers and the signa ture of the handlers.
