Aug. l.-UPV-Crop experts' August. ' estimates indi cating not and dry .weather dur ing July reduced the prospective US corn and spring wheat har vest 5 to 13 per cent respectively failed to stimulate much buying In the grain market today. - . Pit brokers said the reason for this apparently was the figures were abont in line with trade ex pectations. Furthermore,, recent ly ' improved weather conditions for corn -took much, of the sting from estimates indicating corn prospects had been lowered more than 100,000,000 bushels. An up ward revision in winter wheat figures offset most' of the reduced spring crop estimate. After fluctuating W 1 1 n I n a range of only cent,' wheat closed unchanged to 4 lower compared with yesterday's finish. September 76-75 December 76 Some hedging appeared In wheat at times and there was buy ing credited to mills but activity was on a small scale. Hedging pressure was lightened by the fact that large stocks are held In storage for government loans and speculative activity was limited by the uncertainty of world con ditions and crippled international ' trade. . An average- of six private estl , mates of spring wheat production fwas 193,000,000 bushels, 2 9,0 00, -400 less than the average a month ago bnt only .12,000,000 less than the government July 1 forecast. However, the private authorities .raised their estimate of winter wheat production to 524,000,000 bushels, a gain of 25,000,000, thus Indicating a total crop of 717,000,000 bushels, only 4,000, 00 less than forecast July 1 and 38,000,000 less than produced last year.
