Tremendous Drop in the Price of
Wheat.

Tremendous Drop in the Price of
Wheat.
s.. Louis Chronicle Augl
Never in the history of the st. |
Louis grain markets has there been
such prices as prevailed today.
Aud what is more, there is no real
cause for the present condition of
things.
Wheat has been declining steadily
for two or three months. There
would be a faint rally, but the mar
ket was heavy and prices would just
slump away without any support.
Since last Monday prices have de,
cliued rapidly and from 1c to Sc a
day.
From personal recollection of one
Of the oldest grain men in the city,
No. 2 red cash wheat sold 64sc, the
lowest it ever reached previous to
this year On August l last year
cash wheat sold on this market at
734asc, and on the same day 1891 it
sold at S6tc
Today it sold at 52tc. decline of
33ac below the price of 1891, 20saac
below last year and 1890 below the
lowest point before 1898.
The average cost of raising bush
ell of wheat is from 25 to 80 cents.
By the time the farmer gets it to
market, at the present prices, he re-
ceives from l cent profit to less than
it cost to raise, the distance it has to
come governing the profit or loss.
Futures are also very much ander
the weather. to day September
wheat sold Isle below August l,
1892, and 30sc below the same day
in 1891.
Reliable statis,icians make the
crop of 1898 at about 3S3,OOO,O00
bushels of wheat, which, added to
the surplus from last year, will make
less than 450,0O0,00O bushels
England will probably want $780,
100000 bushels and the home trade
needs 370,000,OO0 The crop this
year will rue about 130,OOO,0O0
bushels below last year. The ex-
ports to Europe have been running
large and it is reported that Euro
pean buyers are taking American
wheat rapidly but quietly.
With this in view it would seem
to the average grain man that wheat
is very low and ought to be purchas.
ed
A grain man said to day that a
farmer had better feed his grain to
cattle than sell it at present prices.
! The real cause-though it is not
considered good cause-is the
| liquidation at Chicago. The market
there is in the hands of the grain
gamblers, and the present fnancia
difficulties have helped the bears
break what has been unprecedented
prices.
For the past three days Chicago
banks have called in their loans OF
wheat That point has a big sur
plus of wheat, and the throwing O
: this market is in order to realize anC
take up bank paper.
This wheat thrown on to an al
ready overburdened market la
broken it to pieces, and 10 one il
able to tell just how much furthe
it will go.
Everone says wheat is purchase
and the man who buys it will max,
money, but not a dealer can tel
, where the bottom is or when is tn,
proper time to buy.

law are universally admitted. But
Mr.. Kilgore, having no other mode
Of distinguishing himself except now
aud then by kicking out the panel of
door like any other Texas steer whose
Bringing up has been defective, found
voice to object. Strange TO say, one
unruly steer has more sand than three
hundred odd members of the House.
