BIGGEST WHEAT CROP
IN HISTORY OF WORLD,
Acreage for 1915 Wheat Crop Larg-
est Ever Planned-U. =. WIN BE
Largest Producer.


WASHINGTON, Nov.-The greatest
wheat area in the worlds history will
be planned for the 1915 harvest as q
result of the European war, is the CD.
inion of Charles NJ. D~augherty, stats.
teal expert of the department of ag.
riculture. In a report today Mr.
DauEherty says:
AS a result of the wal in Europe q
worldwide tendency exists to increase
the acreage of wheat. Doubtless the
most extensive area the present aut-
umn and coming spring a prospectant
food grain by the importing countries
of Europe is likely II seeding condi-
tions favor to give extraordinary slim
illus to sowing of both winter and
spring varieties I'm the two great ex-
porting countries of North America
and to those sowing now being finish
ed under suspicious circumstances
in British India.
In the southern hemisphere seed
ing was completed before the war
began and the effect of present eco
monte conditions upon extension of
area there will be manifest only in
the spring and summer OF 1915.
In Europe where ordinarily more
than half the worlds wheat is pro-
duced, the indications are that all
available labor resources, in both
neutral and ~contending nations will
be utilized To the utmost for getting
in full or increased areas in Italy,
whose wheat acreage is ordinarily sec
ond in extent to that in no state IN
Europe excepting Russia. 1000, 900
acres. 1t is said, will be added to the
crop.
In the ~contending countries extra
ordinary efforts are being exerted In
autumn seeding. The services OF
women and children, men exempt,
from military service, refugees. pris-
oners of war, and soldiers temporarily
relieved from the ranks are being
utilized In the fields because of strain
ed labor conditions and the occupa-
ton Of certain territory during seed
time by contending troops some local
contraction, however, is likely Il be
compensated by increased sowing in
neutral nations.
In western Europe, particularly
IN England and France. the autumn
sowing Of wheat is somewhat IN
arrears. but as a large part Of these
counties favored with mild climate.
making sowing operations possible
at times during the entire winter. lit
tie anxiety is expressed owe the pres
ent delay. Reports from Germany and
other countries OF Central Europe in
dictate that seeding operations have
been carried on with activity.
OF the nations at war England pro-
duces less OF her food stuffs than any
other. An Investigation as to the var
ious countries made by the depart
ment OF agricuIture's bureau of Stats
tics made public today indicated that
England produces about So per cent
Of her food requirements. Belgium 50

Bond Market.

New York. Jan. 24-Selling for botn
accounts weakened the stock market 80
day. The tone was heavy throughout.
Most active shares were forced down a
point or so. The rise or the week had eX-
tended to a point which made q reaction
probable, and today's movement was re.
garded as merely a normal pause; 1nat
the market still possessed underlying
strength was indicated by the ease with
which the offerings at the lower level were
the sharp setback at the opening and trad
ing contracted as quotations declined.
The tendency to take the large prohts
shown on long stock was more pronounced
because Of Washington reports OF I'M
pending Developments IN the Mexican
situation.
The effect of this selling was increased
by renewed operations on the snort slGe.
Despite the reaction Of the leaders. IN
vestment buying continued, and some OF
the high-grade stocks made large gains.

moved UP strongly.
While the expected large gain in cash,
amounting to SIG ,OOO, 900, was shown in the

by the increase in reserve requirements
