RISE IN WHEAT LEGITIMATE.
United States Statisticiap Says tho rrice

Washington, u. G., Sept 1t-The fol
lowing relating to the wheat situation is
an extract from the complete monthly re
port Of John Hyde, the stat$ticiau of the
agricultural department issued today.
High prices for wheat hay" for several
weeks past been bringing out supplies quite
freely. and increased supplies have. in turn,
reacted upon prices, causing some decliur
from the highest figures Of August. The gen
eral tenor Of the information CLEANED from
all available sources is not. however. of a
character to warrant the expectation or tn"
fear from the consumers or the prndurrrS'
point of view. Of any material cheapruiug

a prospect of ampler stocks.
Leaving out of view the fact that the
burden OF supply for Europe Will fan NOR,
largely than usual upon the United States.
it is evident that there would. in any ease.
he a demand for Il larger surplus than is tn
be expected out of this years crop. If to
our average annual export for the six years
1Sr-1S97 add European shortage of
99.96.sS bushels figured ont by BroomhaII
get total of e6,.51:i 81 bushels. and in
far fall short of supplying that
quantity, Europe, as compared with an aver
age year must suffer Il scarcity in her bread
supply. except in 50 far rs she can avert il
by drawing on the stocks that may remain
out of previous crops. The worlds reserves
have. however, been reduced in consequence
of the short wheat crop Of last year. and n
deficiency i'll some of the other important
food crops Will not tend to relieve the ten
sion of the wheat market.
