since then the usual amount has been

HIGH PRICES OF FOOD
APROBLEM FOR ITALY
Steps May Be Taken to Keep Wheat
From Going to Other
Countries.

ROME. November 10.-The large in
crease in the price Of foodstuffs is
causing some anxiety. In the public
discussion that has followed on this
condition many remedies have been
suggested. especially in regard to
wheat
The surplus of this cereal in the
United States and the next crop in
Argentina. it Is stated, have already
been taken despite the fact that prices
in both countries were considerably
higher.
Italy, thus far, it is brought out in
the discussion, has allowed wheat des-
tined for neutral countries to pass
through, with the result that the i'm
portation of wheat into Italy itself, as
compared with that passing through
nominally destined for Switzerland, bu,
in reality. it is said, going to Austria
and Germany, stands at two bushels tc
ten.
1t is suggested that the government
prohibit wheat passing through Italy
for all destinations until Italy has i'm
ported the quantity necessary for her
own consumption. Then either all
wheat sold in Italy should be at a mod
crate price or have no purchasers.

THE RUBBER SITUATION.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

All articles made of rubber will be
cheaper this winter than they were
asst year on account of the war. not
withstanding the great increase in
prices noted during August For the
anne reason Brazil and other Central
and South American countries, as well
as Asia and Africa, whence raw or
crude rubber comes, will be hard hit
commercially.
In 1913 the total production of crude
rubber of all kinds amounted to Ill.,
900 tons and the consumption amount
d to $4,000 tons. At the close of 1913
t was estimated that the total produc-
ton in 1914 would reach $4,000 tons
and the consumption 10000. 1t was
stilnated that 1000 tons of last year s
production would be used this year.
owing to the fact that seven months
of the year passed before the great
European conflict broke forth the pro-
duction of rubber this year will not be
materially curtailed, but the manu-
'acture of rubber goods will be some
what lessened.
In the order named the countries
using the greatest amount of crude
..ubber in the past have been Great
Britain, Germany and the United
States. For the year beginning July 1,
1913. and ending June 80, 1914, the
United States imported from all
sources 1S7,735,511 pounds of all kinds
of crude rubber, for which manufac-
turers paid out the sum of $76,162,z-v,
exclusive of duties.

When the war first began Brazil, the
largest rubber-growing country, placed
an embargo on all rubber shipments.
since the financial situation was such
that no shipments could be handled.
This embargo was removed in about
twenty days and since then shipments
have been going forth as usual. OF all
the countries not at war Brazil was the
hardest hit by the conflict. 1t is ex-
