TO ISSUE STATEMENT
ON WHEAT SITUATION
President Believes Erroneous I'm
preston Exists as to Food Supply
in United States.

President Wilson declared today he
believed an erroneous impression had
grown up concerning the food supply
in the United States.
In a letter to Mayor Mitchell of New
York. replying to a suggestion that an
embargo be placed by the federal gov
ernment on experts of wheat. the Presi-
dent wrote that in the near future the
administration will give out a state
ment showing the exact situation.
The President thanked Mayor Mitchell
for his letter and for the report of the
food committee. headed by George w.
Perkins. in which it was suggested that
States at the present time as compared
with the amount on hana a year ago be
made public.
Hopes to Reassure Country.
The matter is one to which the ad-
ministration has, of course. from the
first given the most thoughtful and
careful attention." wrote the Presi-
dent. The Agricultural Department is
in possession of all the facts. About
these facts some very erroneous i'm
pressions obtain, and 1t is our purpose
in the immediate future to remove these
Misunderstanding by a very full and
clear statement of all the facts. They
will, l think. reassure the country"
Mayor MlIchefs letter mas been re-
ferred to Secretary Houston, and
thorough investigation now is being
made. 1t is understood to be the posi-
tion of the President that he has no
authority to declare an embargo on
the expectation of foodstuns. even
though such step were considered
wise.

FOREIGN SHIPPING ISSUE
CAUSES A WHEAT DECLINE
Weather and Fair Country Offerings
Also Tend to Increase Bear Senti-
ment at Chicago.

CHICAGO, February II. Wheat
prices underwent a decided setback to-
day largely as a result of the difficult
ties of foreign shipping. There was a
notable absence of export bids. and 1t
was said a majority of Liverpool deal
ers had assumed a waiting attitude.
Fine weather here and fair offerings
from the country tended also to in
crease bearish sentiment. After open
ing SaA off to u up the market suf-
fered a material decline all around.
July receding 312 cents.
Corn Also Weakens.
Corn weakened because of free SELL
ing and lack of support. The depres-
sion in wheat had much influence.
Opening prices, which varied from a
shade to Is lower. were followed by a
.apid general decline.
Traders in oats took their cue from
the action of other grain. On the
break. however. big houses were con-

Word that the big break in prices had
led exporters to renewed willingness
at taking chances with transatlantic
cargoes induced something of a rally
in the final dealings here.
The market closed nervous at 2% to

Slownes of shipping call had a fur
ther bearish influence on corn until
