Is the Rise in yYheat Realf

The Baltimore Evening News of Tuesday
says: "The rise in the price of wheat, which
has been making steady progress for sever.
al days, is not due, as some people suppose,
to speculation, but is due to Legitimate
demand, both for export and domestic con-
sumption. The upward movement is being
watched by all classes of business men, as
it is believed that it will be an important
factor in stimulating trade The railroads
are alread feeling the beneficial. effects of
the high price prevailing for the product.
The Western roads have forwarded all of
their available freight cars into the wheat
States, and they arc being loaded and ship
ped East as rapidly as possible. Upon ar
rival at the seaboard vessels were waiting
TO take them to Europe. There is no doubt
that wheat is scarce in foreign countries,
and some of them will have to depend up
on the United States this year for supplies" !"
