Prediction Is Made by James
A. Patten, the Wheat
King.
He ADDRESSES FLOUR MEN
HE ATTEMPTS TO SHOW THAT
THE WHEAT CONDITIONS ALL
OVER TIE WORLD ARE AS BAD
AS LAST YEAR.

Chicago, May 2O.-"These condi-
lions enable me to predict that high
prices for wheat will prevail all over
the world for year to come and that
red winter wheat 1.-THE soft wheat) will
sell as high then as it is selling today.
This is the conclusion of James A.
Patten after reviewing the wheat sit
uation throughout the world in an adj
dress before the Chicago Flour Mems
Club.
Relating how there was shortage
of the crop in all wheat producing
countries of the world last year, Mr..
Patten proceeded to show that things
are just as bad, If not great deal
worse, this year. He reiterated his
belief that it was only the great adj
vance in price that permitted Ameri.
ca to keep it's wheat at home and thus
prevent an actual famine in the cereal.

lOf championship calibre. He is big

he will be soft for me, judging from

Messina a Heavy Purchaser Of Durum

Duluth, Jan. f.-Messina was one of

the old world, according to Ward
Ames, president of the Ames-Brooks
company of Duluth. The wheat was
used in the manufacture of macaroni,
which was sold throughout Europe.
Duluth, Chicago and Minneapolis were
all heavy exporters of durum wheat
and Messina was one of their chief
markets. This trade has been de-
stroyed by the earthquake, but local
shippers have heard nothing yet of
the wheat that they had in transit.
