Sir: Low prices encourage fairly large exports
of wheat in November. The average Of the price
at New.YorlS was but s5.s1 cents per bushel
for No. red winter, against siis in October. and
s7.OS in July, and I0Lss IL November last
year, and a decline Of - CENTS PER bushel might
have been expected % pfO1scs far greater ex-
ports than were recorded lat year, provided the
foreign demand had actually been as great as
some have anticipated. But in fact the increase
in exports was but moderate. The preliminary
statement shows exports Of wheat, including Hour
amounting TO s,35l,15 bushels in November
against 1895, 200 last year, when the price "as
nearly 80 per cent higher. The legitimate con-
cusion is that the foreign shortage is not or at
least is not yet known 70 be, anywhere near do
much as many suppose.
A moderate increase in November, however,
makes the exports for the crop year thus lar
