THE WHEAT CROP.

A Chicago grandmother, who is said
to be an expert. declares that unless
there is some check in the enormous
amount of wheat that Is being sent
to Europe all foodstuffs are going to
soar In price, and indicates that the
country may face the possibility of n
bread famine.
1.-THE prime question in the Ameri-
can trade says he. lis how long can we
keep up exporting grain at, the. rate
OF 100000 to 100000 bushels week
without cutting in on the supply need
ed TO feed our own people? And II the
necessities of European consumers COM
pei the United States to sell wheat
needed at home. what price will
1t bring? Men prominent In the NOR
chant grain trade are convinced that
the foreign demand for our bread
stuffs will exceed our surplus and that
much higher prices. will prevail later
on"
The price of wheat IS said. to be
higher than it has been since the
famous Letter corner in 1898, although
there was sharp decline on Thurs.
day; followed by a still further de-.
cline yesterday. We have produced
an average crop, but the crop
abroad is light and the foreign
demand upon our supply is enormous.
Last week exports OF wheat from
United States and Canadian ports (for
the mos, part United States exports)
reached the large total of about $780,
900 bushels. compared with 3,250,000
bushels in the same week last year.
But the present export price is some
thing like s1.1a. compared with 80
cents year ago, which would make
last week's exports Yield over $6,00Q.-
ooo. against s2,soO,ooo for the week in
1906.
The high price is hard on American
consumers but 1t will help the farm
ers, and whatever helps the farmers
! helps the whole country. Agriculture
in the United States is becoming more
and more profitable The chief DIFF.
| ficulty is that many OF the farmers
are not reaping as large crops to the
acre as their lands are capable Of
| producing. That, in our view, is thu
most important material question II

THE GOVERNMENT AND JAfFas
,rOXN.

Virginia does not need to apologize
for Jamestown, or ask clemency OF
the national government In the mat
ter OF the $1,000, 600 loan. The expo
sition itself Is one of tile most beau
tiful and artistic ever produced BY, any
nation at any time. Those who miss
1t Will have lost ali irrevocable oppor-
tunity for visiting scene OF incom-
parable beauty upon an anniversary Of
tremendous and, for this generation at
least. unique Importance.
AS to the loan. The Times d ispatcll
can find no comment better than this
by julius Chambers. Of the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle:
why should the Secretary OF the
Treasury be unduly worried because
tho government is likely to lose the
$l,OoO.oOO advanced to the Jamestown
Exposition? Practically speaking, this
is the first advance in money that the
Federal government ever has made to
the. South. The South has for forty
years contributed It's part OF the PEN
sion money that Is paid to Northern
soldiers. Not one dollar goes to man
who wore the gray. That IS as 1t
should be: but why shouldn't the
grand old state of Virginia have some
help from this robust republic? The
Northern congressman would vote
away five times the amount loaned to
the jamestown Exposition for the ben
eft Of Northern river improvements
or post-otfice sites in Western cities.
Let Virginia have the $1.0o0,00o, and
by oil means let Congress pay all the
reasonable debts OF the enterprise. 1t
deserved success; that 1t wasn't attain
ed probably is as much due to North.
ern apathy as to managerial procras-
tination.
Speaking as Northern man I ton-
estly say that the Federal government
can we'll afford to help the jamestown
Exposition out of its troubles. The
suggestion that 1t seize the grounds
ana collect the gate receipts Is con-
temptible. That is something that our
Chief Executive will not sanction. He
may have his faults, but he Will not be
guilty OF mean or small act such
as this would be.
Nobody heard any protest from Vir-
ginia when other eApositions failed to
meet their obligations to the general
government"
