THE WHEAT MARKET.

THE WHEAT MARKET.
The spectators, and the newspapers
which represent them, are terribly dis
tressed because western farmers are not
rushing their wheat into market 71oso-
at once-at sixty to eighty cents per
bushel; and they are afraid that it will
fall still lower that the Russians will
supply all Of England's requirements
and that there will he no market for
our wheat next spring. Says the N.
Y. Herald:
To sacrifice the opportunity thus afforded
to occupy the Liverpool market, while it is
still open, for the trivial satisfaction Of COR
rsering the Chicago specuLator, is suici-
dal.
But suppose the Chicago speculator
has helped depress the price Of wheat
by telegraphing lies to Europe about
the wheat yield of the United States
as, for instance, that the yield in Min
nesota was only tvo per cent (0 less
than last year, would it not be doing
God and man service to squelch the
whole pestiferous brood? Says the
Herald:
1t is of course annoying to the toiling
farmer that he should he cheated Of full
price for his 1vheat by the idle Spectator, but
he cannot remedy that state of things by
holding back his produce; he simply loses
his market altogether
If he can't raise the price of his
wheat he can at least punish his ene-
mics. Let US try the experiment and
take our chances. The only pity is
that we have no Oranges in Russia to
cooperate with us. If we had, we could
grind the enemies of the farmer be-
tween the upper and the neither mill
stones.
If no wheat goes forward from Amer
ica, and we arc not selling enough now
to supply home consumption, Russian
wheat will rise in price in Liverpool and
that will be reflected back upon our
market and raise the price of our wheat.
But if we food Liverpool now with
wheat at these low prices, the bottom
will come out of everything. and wheat
next spring would not be worth fifty
cents in Minnesota. And if the supply
in Russia has been overstated, as the
supply in Minnesota has been, the next
few months will develop that fact, and
wheat will rise. IF on the contrary
they do not need our wheat then let us
hold on until next harvest. If there
are short crops in Europe wheat will
rise.
In other words, in any contingency,
wheat at sixty and eighty cents pei
bushel is good property to hold. 1t has
not been so low as now in New York fol
fourteen years. It must rise or the
world is to have new experience.
