The San Francisco call., 1909-04-18
Wheat and Other Grain.

wheat-Paris and Liverpool futures were
higher. Chicago was up lc The San Francisco
market firm and unchanged.
brokers' wire from Chicago yesterday said:
The public has no conception OF the conditions
terly ignored that cash wheat is selling every
where at better prices from to 20 cents, ac-
e9rding to the variety, quality, etc. than the
so scarce at country points that mills shut
ting down by the score simply because they can
not get the wheat to grind. Think OF such a
state of affairs in the middle of April, and ne
wheat to be had at any price before the middle
of July. Add to this that the outlook for the
new crop Of winter wheat Is not to exceed two
thirds Of an average with good weather from
now on, and maybe much less and we have a
set of conditions absolutely without precedent,
and high prices are bound to rule for the next
year or more IL Patten never makes another
trade in wheat. The world is not growing wheat
enough to feed itself on the present basis, and
prices must rule higher to cause the farmers to
sow wheat and less coarse grains or
present prices will look cheap. / have never in
my experience OF 20 years in the grain trade
seen anything like the situation that confronts
bread eaters the world over
