Conservative Heavy Traders Think
December Options Will
Reach That Price.
DEMAND WILL EXCEED SUPPLY.
Unusual Demand Is Likely to
Force the Increase-EurO-
pean Crop Is Reported
to Be Short.

The heaviest traders on the Merchants
Exchange predict that wheat will sell FOR
81 a bushel before the fall season is over.
Not Only are they openly stating their be-
lief. but they are apparently laying lines to
bring about a realization OF their prophecy.
All of the traders interested in the ad-
vance of wheat kept out of the local market
yesterday. but inside information indicated
that they were quietly buying through their
agents on the Chicago Board of Trade.
One of the most conservative and uniform
ly successful exporters on the local ex-
change openly proclaimed his belief that
wheat for December delivery would sell for
81 in the St. Louis market. He Is a man
who could not be suspected of endeaVoring
to influence the market by making unsup-
ported assertions. His statements were not
scattered broadcast. but were made only to
those who are known to be as heavily in
terested in the markets as he is. All OF the
big exporters accepted his estimate as con-
elusive. This trader. whose name is almost
as well known as that OF Corn King
Phillips. said:
Il have not the slightest doubt that wheat
will sell for 81 a bushel on the present crop.
The output. as shown by the Government
crop report. issued Saturday. will be much
smaller than has been expected. The supply
will not equal the demand, even for domes-
tic consumption. The conditions In the Euro
pean wheat-growing countries have been no
better than in the United States. In some
instances they have been much worse.
When the amount OF grain needed for
seeding shall have been taken out of the
total crop 1t will be found that there is
considerable shortage. No manipulation will
be necessary to send prices upward. Natural
conditions will be OF such a character that
the market Will not stop short of 81 a
bushel."
While it is not asserted that there is a
Clique or a pool on the local exchange to
advance the price of wheat, those who have
watched the recent course of the big traders
are convinced that they are acting with
unanimity. and that they all have the same
opinion as to the ultimate course Of the
December option.
At present they are not trading heavily in
81. Louis. They prefer to stand back and
give the small SPECTATORS a chance to re-
alize on the deals they have made since the
issuance Of the Government report.
Those who are best posted believe that
when all the outsiders have crawled from
under the bull crowd will rush in and as
sumo control Of the market.
Though there was considerable realizing
in both corn and wheat yesterday. the heavy
traders did not let go OF their holdings.
They are playing for big stakes. and be-
lieve they will win.
