Production in All Parts of the World

Prices Have Fallen Because of Increased
Production in All Parts of the World.
Q.-ls it true that the price of wheat
! ana many other farm products has fallen
| heavily? Alt is.
/ Q.-How are such declines, in wheat.
/ Tor instance. to be explained? A-By
| the enormously rapid increase in grain
! growing area throughout the world.
! p.-1faS this increase been pSperiglly
rapid since 1872? A.-The increase in
gram growing area in this period, espe-
clalIy IN North America South America
/ ana Asia. has never been approached in
any equal period i'll the history of the
/ world
Q.-How do we judge of actual rompe-
tlton in the sale of wheat? A.-By the
supplies thrown annually on the worlds
great distributing markets.
Wv hat market in particular? A.
England, where most of the buying ma
| tons go to purchase their grain.
=. What are the figures? A. As re-
Gently as 1850 Great Britain imported
tor consumption and re-export, -. .261. :
924 hundredwcight of wheat-a large in
crease over the preceding annual average
In 1893 It imported 81 .149, go hundred

q. What has made possible this re
markahle increase in wheat production?
y. Ih" exceedingly rapid development
tVatcd grain countries. among them In
dla. Russia and the Argentine Republic
N. Has there been an increase in the
nlted States itself? \. An enoromus
increase.
Q. How large? A. In 1879 there

cedlng years. In 1891 the yield was

mOUSly.
Would free coinage help the pro
ducers of grain to large profit under
such conditions? A.-Not in the least.
