Wheat reached it's highest point in

ket, selling at $110 bushel. There is
a growing belief that this figure will
be surpassed by May wheat. Septem-

other cent Friday of last week, with
two more days to beat this record.
Everything points to a great scarcity

that so much wheat has been exported
as to leave no surplus at home. Ex-
perts submit the following figures:
Wheat crop raised in United States last

bushels; left over from previous crop,

than 100000 bushels of wheat are
