and continuous buying of wheat by the,
public assisted by local professionals car
ried the price up &c last week md the
gain of 1c. 1t was largely a sentimental
street leading the buying. May sold to
T7Ac and closed at TIC with a gain of lie.
December touched 731Ac, the highest
point since the August bulge, and was
73c to 731sc at the close. The public is
buying wheat because corn and oats are
high and they have become impressed
with the belief that wheat is cheap at
around Toe and consumption will be large
enough to eat up the supplies and make
stocks very low before the advent of u
new crop. They have bought all the
wheat offered and carried the price to g.
new level.
No change has come to the corn situa'
ton from a supply and demand point
within a week. Speculative trade has
been large, although it shows a falling
off at the last as wheat became more at
tractive. The local talent on the whole
are not enthusiastically bullish on corn,
but the country is long and has bought
the market to a standstill. This has kept
1t in a fairly healthy shape. The South
ern and Southwestern demand is good,
and shipments from here last week were
1,1S3, 600 bushels, or about half of last
years, and exceeded receipts by nearly
100000 bushels.
Oats made a new high record last week,
selling freely at 43llAc for May, an ad-
vance of lie from the low point made
early in the week. The close was at
43Ac, a gain of hc for the week. de-
cember was within nc of May early, but
fell to 1lSc discount at the last.
Flour is somewhat lower than a year
ago. while wheat is slightly higher-the-
relation being changed by the advanced
price for by-product. Corn shows an adj
vance Of 741@ per cent oats 80 per cent,
rye % per cent, barley 13 per cent, bran
~ per cent, potatoes 100 per cent, hogs
20 per cent, beef cattle IL per cent. Sheep
are slightly lower. More striking con-
trasts are reflected in values at Kansas
City and elsewhere in the West.
For 100 pounds of each Of twelve
items of foodstuffs the present valuation
represents 5000, compared with .$$22.52

Il am speaking for the latter. Fifteen
per cent. of the German people are en-
gagged in agriculture. The chancellor
said the remaining 81 per cent. were ell
gagged i'll other occupations. and that r.
per cent. of the latter We're industrialists.
The proposition of the government was
to lay IL tax of between GOO,00O,O0O and
1OO.OOO,O0O marks on food in order to
make profitable the occupation of 10 per
cent. of the people. Only one-ninth Of
the grain is imported.
