''But 1t viii Be a Good
Thing for U. ST." He Adds
BY K. w. PAYNE.

How much higher Will the price
of wheat-of flour and bread-go
this winter?
That's a big question in every
American home. Everybody who
eats, and that includes the most of
us, is intensely concerned in the price
Of wheat.
We want to know how much high
er it will go. Probably no one can
guess nearer next winters and next
springs grain prices than can James
A. Patten. l hunted him up.
What about the wheat situatiOn?"
I asked.
81 should say" said MultimilliOn-
aire James A. Patten, world-famed
king of the wheat pit. chat the
American wheat grower is in CLOV-
ERr'
THE American farmer" Patten
continued, 'is still holding so per
cent at least of the present wheat
crop. The farmer holds fully Is per
cent of the coming winters wheat
crop.
And the price of that wheat is
going to climb to the dizzy price OF
one dollar and a half before spring
maybe higher! That means fortunes
for the farmers, and they know it!
THE European war has caused an
extremely serious and almost unpar-
alleIed situation in the wheat market.
In the pit we're all bulls; we know
wheat must keep climbing higher
and higher. But-Pm not buying
wheat. Pm AFRAID
The great James A. Patten, who
was once said to have made $15,000,-
900 in wheat pit gambling; who in
1909 risked his all, braved public con-
tumely and federal prosecution in
one of the most daring and spectacu-
lar wheat corners" ever attempted,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-09-10
"WHEAT GOING UP TO $780," SAYS GREATEST
GRAIN GAMBLER OF THEM ALL

"Juts go over to the Board of
Trade" Patten went on. You'll see
men there who used to buy wheat
by the hundred thousand bushels,
tlmidly taking ten thousand! In other
words the very gravity of the situa-
ton has killed reckless speculation,
and trading is on an absolutely legiti-
mate basis. Suppose peace were to
be declared tomorrow. The bottom
would drop out of the price of wheat,
and millions would drop out of the
reckless SPECTATORS pockets.
But Of course the price of wheat
would pick up again. The public
may just as well get used to the fact
that the price of bread is going to
rise, fast and high!
Look at this map. See this north
ern region of France, around Lille
and Nancy? That is where France
grows her grain. And you know
what sort of a harvest is taking place
there today! And as for Germany,
here's her granary-East Prussia.
Think of those vast fields of growing
grain, just at the harvest time, all
trampled down, burned, or left to rot!
Argentine wheat is short this
year. Russia's crop is poor, and
where will Russia find men to har-
vest it? Meanwhile, Europe has mil
lions of armed men who must be fed.
THAT is why Europe is buying ire
mendOus quantities of American
wheat, and buying it without regard
to price. The foreigner isn't looking
for bargains He's looking for
BREAD. And his broker in this coun-
try has orders to BUY it, and never
mind the cost.
with a demand of that kind, moth .
ing can prevent extraordinary prices.
An embargo of wheat has been sug-
gested, but that would disturb our
international trade at the very mo-
ment we are trying to enlarge it.

that date: the per capita that wear be-
ing $tO.i6. This amount, though large.
was a material decrease over the debt
as il stood August 81 1Si5. On that date
the Indebtedness of the national govern
ment tless funds available for the pay
ment Of debit amounted 10 S3.IGi.l3l,JIl,
an average of S79Ii for every inhabitant
Of the country. The rate Of decrease be-
tween 1850 and 1870 was continued I'M

rional government had decreased 80 that,
together with the rapid increase in the
