WITH WHEAT SCARCE.

the money he wants. He gagged more
accurately than any man of his time
the actual status of the worlds wheat
supply. and his reward is millions. At
ter he accumulated his pile the. rest
of the world wakes up to learn that
its wheat supply is scarcely more than
it requires to carry it through to an
other harvest, says the Oregon Jour
nal. California. for instance, sent out
yesterday an appeal for flour, the mil
lers of that state being no longer able
to supply requirements. The eastern
states are short and are sending to
Oregon for lower grades of flour that
formerly went across the Pacific for
the Orientals to eat. In the Portland
market -four on Wednesday was
marked up 40 cents a barrel and yes
terday an additional five cents was
added Wednesdays advance was the
heaviest in many years and the price
of $50 a barrel the largest in three
decades The advance in the local
market since January has been $1,1O
per barrel. The retail quota
tions. which usually stand at 50 cents
s11O. are $1.75 to $50 per sack.
Ortentals are temporarily ceasing to
eat American -four, because they cam
not afford to pay the price. Every
wheat center in the world has re
sponded to the scarcity in prices that
are sharply advanced.
The figures of wheat production, In
view of prevailing conditions, are sig
nificant In 1908 Argentine's wheat
crop was $4,000 900 bushels against
$4,000. 600 bushels in 1907. midas
was $4,000, 900 in 1908 against 2S0,-
100000 in 1907. Europe's in 1908 was
124 000. 600 against 96,000,000 in 1907
Europe's in 1908 was 1.595.000.00(
against 1855 O0000 in 1897. In 1905
the crop in the United States was
e64. 100000 against 34.O0O,00O in 1907
Australia in 1908 yielded 100000,
against 65,00O,ooO in 1907. The worlds
aggregate in 1908 was 2,12S,2O0,00
against S,019,120.000 in 1907. The

participate in the conflicts, and
Whereas, it would seem that civili-
