The PRICE OF WHEAT.-For the
past few days the wheat market has
been getting perceptibly steadier. and
while trading has been very conser-
Vative, all signs point to higher prices.
We do not care to assume the grave
responsibility of prOphesying but we
DO believe that the future is full OF
hope; and in order that every one
may intelligently judge for himself we
Will state the grounds for our belief
The estimated total output of wheat
this year in the United States is 443.
100000 bushels against an average OF
over 6OO,O0O,000 bushels per year for
the past two years, and about 100000
600 bushels in 1890. The supplies of
old wheat carried over by farmers and
dealers are about 100000 bushels
greater than last year, making the
total supplies for this year in round
numbers 100000, 900 bushels. or more
than 100000, 900 bushels less than the
average for the two preceding wears
Now demand and supply are the
Regulating factors in the price of
wheat what's the supply as compared
to our needs and the needs of other
countriesP Our own people have used
on an average 365,OO0,0 900 bushels
annually, which would leave us l35.-
100000 bushels free for export, against
an average export of about IT'S 900 900
per year for the past two years. Now.
as to the prospective foreign demand
The stock of old wheat on hand in
Europe and Asia is very little, if any
larger than last year while all statisti.
clans seem to agree that the wheat crop
abroad is at least 150,0OO,OOO bushels
less than last year. So that granting
that we are carrying now abot 10000
600 bushels more old wheat than last
year, yet it appears that the world is
at least 100000 bushels short on
