They're blaming the present high
price of wheat and flour in these
United States entirely on the Euro
pean war. But-and this is an impor-
tant "but'-it is estimated that only
5O.000.000 bushels Of this years
wheat crop have been sent to Europe
SO far. And this years wheat yield
was more than 125,000,OO0 bushels
larger. than the nations record yield.
Furthermore, it is also fact that the
price Of wheat did not rise very rap
t.. nor high as long as the wheat
farmers had the bulk OF it in their
possession. Hence the conclusion is
W ,rrantable that spectators in wheat
are responsible in some measure for
II , high prices that pr vail. And con-
tributory evidence to this end il to be
found in the recent sudden breaks in
the price Of wheat. If an unusual de-
mand for wheat were the controlling
factor in the regulation of its price,
the latter would remain firm with q
steady upward ten. :cy. There would
be no dropping Of 5 cents q bushel in
price over night. as 1t were.
