The Wheat 0stlssk.

It is reported that foreign loan
company has sent circular letters
to farmers on land which is mort
gagged to them to the effect that
the price of wheat of the harvest
Of 1897 can rea sonably be expected
to reach 60 cents a bushel. The

Minneapolis Market Record makes
some interesting calculations on
this subject. Figures have been
gathered which cover period oil
several years past; and the history
of the rise and fall of prices should
encourage the present day farmer.
The worlds supply at this time
is given It IoI 900, 600 bushels.
This is the lowest pro rata estimate
that has been given in fifteen
years. In 1891 the supply was
the nearest this minimum OF this
time The influence of that par
tial shortage extended into 1893.
That years harvest was far in ex.
cess Of any in the past and there
is hardly probability of its being
approached in the near future. 1t
is altogether improbable that the
pro rata supply of 1897 will ever be
reached again. The increase of
wheat eaters in the world is very
rapid. Japan is entering into a
new era Of civilization and her
million Of people are learning to
ca, wheat The market is also
extending into China and many
other populous countries. The
people of India will IN the near
future con sumo the surplus of her
fields
Up to the year 1893 when the
maximum limit of wheat produc-
tons was reached the area on
which wheat could be produced
was rapidly extending. The pro-
duct of the great northwest then
for the first time became an item
in the worlds supply. The wheat
districts of India had just been
supplied with water for irrigation
and means of transportation Ivy
government; and the limit of
their excess was reached. The
people had not learned to depend
upon wheat as as an article of food
and their surplus was very large.
That country has since suffered
from a famine Their seed supply
IS consumed to save life. The
stocks Of all kinds of provisio S
have been reduced till that country
will not be a factor in the wheat
markets of the world for some
years to come.
Even with the great crops all
over the world to follow the present
shortage as that condition did en-
sue after the shortage Of 1891 the
price must remain good for two
years. One short crop does not
materially influence the markets
when the graneries are all full and
surely one crop will not fill up the
empty bins.
A remunerative price for wheat
means more of wealth than the
.reasurers of our mines. All Of
The broad acres of of our wheat
fields will advance 200 per cent
when it is demonstrated that they
will produce forty bushels Of sixty
,ent wheat to the acre. The guam
ity they will produce is no,
doubted now but the price has
been speculative. With this price
assured we have millions added to
'ur wealth without the slow pro-
'ess Of labor to produce 1t. This
will revive every bust
less interest. The permanent
'alue Of farm land fixed by the
'alue of crops is the most perman-
mt asset any business comm unity
an possess.
