Lower Price for Wheat,
His Answer 10 James J. Hill
in Fight on Reciprocity.
Shows Wheat at Winnepeg Costs
Less Than at Chicago.

Concord, X. H., Feb. l7.-In support
of his contention that the enactment
of the proposed Canadian reciprocity
agreement will reduce the price OF
American wheat and increase the price
of Canadian wheat, Former Governor
Nahum j. Eachelder master of the
National Grange. Patrons of Husban-
dry, today issued a statement liz which
he compared wheat movements in the
markets OF Chicago and Winnipeg as
an answer to Il recent statement by
james !. Hill. MIR. Bachelors state
ment says:
Mir. James j. Hill is not satisfied
with the 1000, 009 he has made out
OF The farmers of the Northwestern
states. but is seeking TO increase his
fortune by having his railroads haul
Canadian wheat and flour to the con-
sumers in this country. Speaking at
Chicago. day before yesterday, Mr..
Hill charged that the opposition to
tke Canadian reciprocity scheme was
dictated by "Demagoguos," and was
eentered on the claim that the free
admission of Canadian wheat and bar
ley would reduce the, price of these
products in this country
THAT such would be the effect. he
declared, is not merely improbable,
but ridiculous and impossible.
After quoting a New York CONNER
cial newspaper of Feb. 1G as saying
that Wheat values broke sharply
Yesterday as the result Of the House
approval Of tie reciprocity agreement,
and quoting figures, Mr.. BachelGer'S
statement continues:
Here is a fall OF about cents
per bushel in the price OF wheat since
the reciprocity bill was introduced in
Congress. If the mere expectation OF
reciprocity depresSeS our wheat price :.
what would be the result % the enact
ment of the pending bill"
"While the price of oar wheat has
fallen. that of Canadian wheat a.

extent, owing To the expectations Of
the Canadian wheat growers for a
Letter market in this country. Be
