and with the crop for the present year
500, OO0O 900 bushels less than that of 1913,
Mr. Houston thinks It probable that this
country could consume 1t all without
much reduction in price, If any. The de-
mand from abroad for corn for food is
expected to help maintain the present
prices.
This season." said the secretary has
been unfavorable for crops in Europe, as
a result of which there undoubtedly is
some shortage, now estimated at APP
proximately SO0.OOOOOO bushels. This
shortage may be further increased by de-
struction of crops or failure to harvest
them through the diversion Of laborers
into the army. All these factors will
tend to Increase the demand abroad for
American wheat and strengthen prices.
