| start out with the now acknowledged
fact that the great wheat-consuming
countries of Europe are largely deficient
in both quantity and quality, in the crops
just gathered and now gathering. The
second fact is, that rarely have the sup
plies of former crops and reserve stores
been so closely consumed as during the
past year. and seldom have such frantic
efforts been made to get the crops out Of
the American farmers hands at prices far
below their value as have been made dur
