Stocks Khêat in the United States at the of the season, July 1, were a jg million bushels larger than last l on when commercial mill stock» were taken into account and totaled annroximately 115 million bushels. Condition of U. S. Spring Wheat Spring wheat in the American northwest is maturing mostly ahead of the rust ami damage will be very .light, according to reports to the U. s Bureau of Plant Industry, unless Ce weather turns unusually favorable for rust revelopment. Stem rust is widely distributed but is not generally severe in the Red River valley of Minnesota and North Dakota. There is but little rust damage farther west in North Dakota and still less Montana. No appreciable damage, except to very late fields, has occur red in South Dakota and southern Minnesota. With during pro fir mo are than close bou in Foreign Markets Weaker foreign markets reflected generally favorable prospects abroad and in Canada. Private estimates now place the Canadian spring wheat crop in the prairie provinces around 500 million bushels with no serious rust damage in prospect and the crop nearing harvest. This favorable out look for the new crop is stimulating the grain trade in Canada to dispose of old crop stocks and marketing and exports have been heavy during the past month. Commercial grain stocks in Canada were reduced about 22,000, 000 bushels during July but were still about 28 million bushels larger at the first of August than a year ago. (The stocks of wheat in Europe are small and demand for foreign wheat has been fairly active. Rains are delay ing harvests in Germany but the crop is reported in generally good condi tion. Yields are irregular in France but the quality of the new wheat is reported good and of heavy weight. Itouth has done considerable damage m Turkey and Asia Minor but tains have recently relieved the situation in Hungary. Winter crops in Russia are poor, according to recent trade re ports. Cash Hard Winter Wheat The movement of new hard winter wheat in central western markets continued unu»ually heavy, receipts at Kansas City for July being the larg est on record, totaling nearly 25,000 cars. The slow export demand at the gulf has increased the movement to the central western markets and has caused congestion at some points. Mill and elevator storage space is be coming crowded, which has tended to limit the demand and weaken the market. Prices of hard winter wheat declined 5 to 12 cents at Kansas City where 12 per cent protein No. 2 hard winter was quoted at 2c to 5c over the Kansas City September price of $1.09 1 * ; 12%% protein was quoted 5c to 10c over, and 13 per cent 10c to 14c over. . Common protein types were bring ln g about 2c under the September price. Protein inspections on more dlan 16,000 cars during July at Kan sas City showed an average protein content of 11.82 per cent. Hard win ter prices were lowered at other mar kets also with mills the principal source of demand. Cash wheat was I e V 2c lower at Wichita. No. i anl whitei- was quoted at Omaha at it.09 to $U6 and No. 2 hard at $1.08 $1-15.

Receipts were somewhat smaller than last week's heavy move-' aient which materially reduced the a mount available for shipment at many interior points. Stocks are relative-1 and are held 1 principally at Chicago. New crop de liveries were especially weak in the future markets but seaboard interests i were reportd to b good buyers of for December delivery. * Export corn for last half of December ship-1 ment was quoted at the close of the i week at 88%c f.o.b.

"Alfred E. Smith, democratic presi dential candidate and the delegates to the democratic national convention including W. H. Mahoney of Butte, head of the wets' organization in Montana, are pledged to an honest en forcement of the laws putting into effect the 18th amendment. Their attitude toward prohibition and its enforcement expressed since the con vention, shows how little a platform declaration means to them. It ap pears it means no more to Maloney than to Smith i nwhose candidacy he is so deeply interested. "In a previous statement we said we were not expecteing organized op position to the initiative measure in asmuch as both parties had declared in favor of prohibition law enofree ment.
