New York, December 15.-New low
records for the season were establish
ed in domestic wheat markets early In
the week. At times there was a de-
cided scarcity of buying orders. ana
although there was no conspicuous
selling pressure. prices gradually de-
clined. Nevertheless. the fluctuations
were rather circumscribed. AS
matter OF fact. there were long periods
when sluggishness and narrowness
were the striking features. Apparent
lv. values are now considered 10 be
close TO a substantial basis, and N
the opinion of many the time has about
arrived when a reaction might reason
ably be expected to set in.
The Farmers.
1t is assumed that all or nearly all
needy farmers have marketed large
percentage of their surplus. Fnrther-
more. il is believed that well-to-oo
farmers VIII refuse to accept current
bids. In addition. il is supposed tha'
the exceedingly cold weather West
especially in the Northwest, will serve
to check the movement. The general
downward drift was ascribed partly
to the unexpectedly heavy increases In
the visible supply although 1t was
evident that "A large part or THIS IN
crease was caused by the temperance
at Eastern points of wheat that had
been temporarily lost sight of while
in transit. Selling was also partly
traceable TO the favorable tenor of the
report, which placed the

gest on the given area (32.3SIOOO
acres) a possible production OF 1885,
1913. 900 bushels, against 42S.433.0VJ
bushels indicted a year ago. Needless
to say, every weli-informed dealer
realizes that such a high condition al
this early day is untrustworthy. as in
jury usually takes place during the
winter and spring. The depression az

primary receipts and cold weather in
the West, particularly in the North
west, where the mercury registered
below zero.
This may do no harm unless the
cold wave should spread South over
winter wheat territory, where there
