Wheat sold in New York last week
at Sl.25 per bushel, for May delivery
The total transactions in one day al
the Produce Exchange, were 22,SOO,'
900 bushels, more than the entire Wis
ible supply, which is reported al
2253S,000 bushels. The reason fol
the present advance and extraordi.
nary activity is the certainty of q
short crop in Europe. All the wheat
producing countries of the western
half of the world are said to be suf
ferng from late frosts and later rains
In France the crop promises so poorly
that the people arc agitating the sub
jcct of the repeal of the import duty
on wheat and the Government is sale
to look with favor on the measure
Our own decrease in the visible ant
the supposed short interest nthe spec
ulativc market are also factors at tn
moment. Henry Clews says the stu
alton is somewhat similar to that ex
listing in 1867, when wheat sold a
$3.50 bushel, though gold was at
premium.
