Presumably the unusual drop in
wheat prices in Kansas of late will be
attributed to the bumper wheat crop
that is in sight. But the same war
that was held to be wholly responsible
for the high prices that have prevailed
in the wheat arena is still doing bust
ness at the old stand. and gives no
evidence of firing out. or ending, in
the near future. As a matter of fact,
something besides the European war
has been responsible for the wheat
prices of the last six months or so, and
that something was nothing else but
speculation.
