Dollar Wheat.
Snokane Chronicle.


Wheat has again touched the dollar
mark in Chicago. and this time it seems 10
have been due to natural causes and not
through the desire Of spectators 10 make
a record After the first great excitement
which carried wheat TO dollar. 1t suffer
ed natural reaction and dropped TO the
neighborhood OF 80 cents, which at that
time was about its normal price. BY
gradual stages, however. and without the
excitement that marked its previous adj
go even higher.
Wheat in this section of the country has
also shown a steady advance in the past
two or three weeks and is quoted at
prices in the Paiouse and Big Bend as high
as so cents. Very little wheat, however IS
changing hands even at that high figure.
for two reasons: First. because the farm
ers have set their hearts on dollar wheat
and are only selling enough for current
expenses; and. second, because a compare
lively small amount of the crop has been
harvested. The Indications at present are
that most of the crop will be harvested
within a few weeks and then, If the price
still remains good, the farmer Will let go

of the wheat crop in Eastern Washington

wheat should bring dollar bushel here

The great wheat crop now being bar
people OF Washington than the bonanzas
on the Kloudike. However the market
may fuctuate In response to the manfpu-
lations Of spectators, there Is absolute
certainty that the farm price TO be realized
by the Eastern Washington farmers Will
he the highest which has ever been re-
corded. During the years when the price
OF wheat has been gradually sagging
downwards. railroad freight rates have
been reduced and new lines extended. tn
what they were ten years ago; so when the
heavy advance OF the present year was
recorded. the farm price reached figures
never before known.
According TO the figures compiled by the
statl=tieian Of the department OF agricul-
ture. Europe will require from the United
States this year nearly 2es Ose oeo bushels OF
wheat. or fully 100 coo 600 more than has
been taken from this country any time
within the last six years. Notwithstanding
vested in the United States. fl is more
than doubtful IL this country can furnish
the amount demanded by the necessities
of the European trade. Neither Is there
such surplus OF other food crops that the
deficiency in wheat can be made up from
any other source. These facts all warrant
the conclusion that the price Of wheat will
certainly not fall below the present high
figures. and there Is every prospect that
stili further advances will be had. Should
figures 20 no higher. and should ne wheat
crop Of Washington fan within the ex-
tremely conservative estimate OF Is. 0oo. 600
bushels. the grain raisers OF Eastern
Washington will realize from their crops
this year upwards OF sis.oeo 900. an amount
sufficient to lift every farm mortgage In
Eastern Washington, and stu leave
handsome margin over living expenses for
Investment
The European demand for grain. coupled
With the advance In price. means that II
this country exports wheat enough to sup
ply the deficiency Europe will pay for the
American surplus wheat crop upwards Of

received from that source during the last
six years. This Will come from Europe in
