Reports of further spread of rust in the spring wheat areas of both the United States and Canada together with moderate offerings of winter wheat caused wheat markets to strengthen generally last week. Spring wheat showed most strength -.eflecting the rust situation the out come of which depends upon th weather. High protein brought sub stantial premiums. Export bids ad 'anced and soft winter was strong on limited supplies of good quality. Pacific coast markets were quiet. Cen tral western barley markets declined slightly but California held steady. Corn made further advances. LIVESTOCK. Good killer cattle a ere generally steady with poorer grades tending to weaken. A litle brouder interest in fedeers was noted but trading is very limited. Hogs were steady for well finished stock i.ot too heavy but grassy kinds and t.eavies were not too strong. Fat Iambs came in liberal numbers on most markets and prices inclined to weaken slightly. Feeders were steady to weaker according to market. BUTTER. The San Francisco mar ket was steady but at New York, Chi cago, Philadelphia and Boston mar kets were easy to unsettled with s'ight price decline. Receipts and into storage movements are lighter but the shrinkage in production is ir regular. Preliminary estimates place '.ne August 1 storage at 10 to 13 mil lion pounds ahead of last year. HAY. Light receipts continued to give some strength to the cash mar kets, but country trading was dull and western alfalfa draggy with prac tically no trading in the Yakima val ley. FEEDs.

Latest reports indicate the smallest crop in the United States for twenty years except in 1921, but more apples in Canada, England and Europe than last year.
