The midyear financial report shows a 20 percent drop in New York clearings due to slower flotation of new industrial ventures, while outside New York bank payments for six months to June 30 rise 11.4 percent year over year. The West outperforms the East, with gains in the middle and far West and Pacific States. New England and New York City show losses. In Chicago grain markets, activity remains high in speculative branches as crop estimates stir volatility. Government crop reports prompt renewed buying of wheat, while private estimates question government figures and suggest higher production. Weather conditions in Kansas and Nebraska affect prospects for the ear crop, but damage is not yet severe enough to hinder recovery with rain and milder temperatures.
