Currency. Currency. Wheat per blu.

The gold price represents the average
purchasing value or exchange value of
each 'bushel of wheat exported in each
period, and as the export value of this
grain fixes its home value, it follows that
the domestic value has fuotuated on the
same scale. With the single exception
of the last three years the value of wheat
has averaged higher since 1873 than it
did in the five years preceding that date
and tho highest value we have chad was
in the period covering the fifth to the
tenth year after the legislation COM
planned of.

(The figures are official with the ex-
ception of the three foreign countries
after 1891, when commercial data are
used.
Taken with the.table Of our wheat sx-
port values before given, it will be seen
that the highest price was i'll 1882.
India was not then serious competitor,
and that period covers an abnormal de-
mand following this crop failures in
Western Europe and the Turco- r ussian
war. In the next period there was re-
turn of normal conditions, and with In
dia's appearance as an import factor
there is q drop OF. sixteen cents per bush
ell. The next period marks the first i'm
portant appearance of Argentine and
the drop of three cents would hav been
greater but for the Russian crop failure
of 1891.
The drop of 2O5 cents In the last Pc
riod, the fall which has SO burdened our
wheat growers and which yet rests upon
them, needs no explanation. The table
country almost known to wheat mer-
chanti, sprang ct one bound into the
front rank, and her shipments for those
years average IS, 900, 600, and in one year
of the three equalled 10000, 900. This
sudden deprivation of the older coun-
tries of SO large n share of their market,
without any chance for a corresponding
reduction in their own exportable sur
plus, Ia responsible for the present posit-
ion of the wheat trade of the world.
Trusting that have made it clear to
you that the price of wheat, like the
price of silver and other commodity, de-
ponds upon supply and demand, and that
the showing that has carried the price of
wheat up while ct the same time lack of
demand was carrying silver down, is
satisfactory, l am truly yours,
