Wheat Prices


Every farmer with wheat to sell is
watching the market closely and seek
ing an Interpretation OF the frequent
Price fluctuations. The market made
rather sharp advance last week with
d decline on the following days.
These advances are influenced almost
entirely by the conditions in the ex-
port market, the factors that actually
Affect that market or that our specu-
lators think ought to affect it. These
factors are purely speculative and will
probably continue to be speculative
for several weeks at least. The local
situation is definite and the farmer
with wheat to sell must make the local
condition the basis of his calculation
Oh time to sell and the price to sell or
hold for. This local condition is sum-
med up in the statement that the
yield this year was approximately the
amount annually consumed in the
United States. A surplus of about
$50 100000 bushels was carried over
from last years crop. We have that
surplus to meet the export demand.
If that is taken at about the present
price, any excess in exports will cut
into our normal home demand, and
prices must advance in proportion to
the strength of the competition of ex-
porters with our domestic millers The
market is strong and must continue
so, but as to possible price limits one
mans guess is about as good as an
other

'USY SESSION
OF CONGRESS

n The short session of Congress which
will meet on the first Monday in De-
cember and adjourn on the third of
March will have presented for its con-
!sideration some of the most important
Questions that have ever called for
Legislative action in the United States.
\ The present administration, Demo-
cratic in both Houses of Congress and
at the White House. will endeavor to
complete some of the legislative poll
cies it has undertaken.
I 1t is acknowledged by the Demo-
Gratis that the so-called eight-hour
legislation, which is in reality a wage
increase law, is not complete and there
will be demand on the part of both
the employers and employees that the
administration take some action to
make the law more definite and specI-
fic in its language and to make it as
comprehensive and as permanent in
character as this administration in
tends to make it. The question of
compulsory arbitration will also be up
for consideration in this connection.
1t is recognized, even among Demo-
Gratis, that the so-called anti-dumping
provision of the last revenue bill is
entirely inadequate and will be in
effective sa protection against the
competition of cheap foreign products
after the war. While it is scarcely to
be expected that the Democratic ad-
ministration will take any action look
ing to the reinstatement of protec-
tive tariff policy there will be de-
mand among the business men of the
country for some legislation that will
prepare this country for after the
war conditions.
The pressure of apr opriaton bills
for the ordinary and perhaps extra
ordinary expenses of the government
Will also present a perpleXing prob
lem for the present administration
Revenues are VIGOROUSLY inadequate,
and yet the general policy of the pres
ent administration in the creation of
new commissions and in authorization
VI new governmental enterprises will
call for appropriations nearly as large
as were made in the last session of
congress, which was a record breaker
in large expenditures of public funds.
The higher cost of living has be-
come serious problem to the wage
earners of the country and it is alto
Eether likely that there will be strong
demand from the consuming public
that Congress make some effort to
check the steady advance in prices of
the necessities of life. There has
been much agitation in favor of an
embargo which would shut off or cur
ail exports and thereby reduce prices
pr the home consumer. There is also
iuch opposition to any legislative en-
etment of this kind. Since, however,
4 has become difficult for wage-earn-
rs to pay the prices that are now de-
banded for ordinary necessities, not
% say anything of the more common
uxuries. many people will expect Con-
yress to find means of affording
elief.
Not much progress has been made
b naval construction or military pre-
aredness, and nothing has been done
nder the provisions of the ship pur-
base bill. The indefniteness of
'teps already taken is certain to i'm
iress upon members of the present ad-
-istration the necessity of further
legislation in order to avoid con-
ession Of practically complete failure.

In Storage Trusts Grip?
(From the Chicago Postl

(From the Chicago Post).
while the people pay famine prices
for food, fruit rots ungathered Oil
farms and the walls of cold storage
warehouses fairly bulge with stored
supplies.
"lf the surplus of food held in re-
frigeration in Chicago were released
today prices would drop so per cent.
The cold storage of foodstuffs which
promised at first to prove such boon
to mankind has been perverted into
one of the most evil agents of ex-
ploitation.
UNLESS the Government takes over
al once active and absolute control of
all cold storage this nation may ex-
pect to be reduced to the condition of
the starving nations of Europe, with
prices so high that none but the rich
may eat meat any more than once or
twice a week."
This statement was issued by Mrs.
II. II. Harrison. organizer of the
Housewives League, after receiving
the report of cold storage engineer
the amount of foodstuffs held in
cold storage plants for speculative
purposes.
Of the total supply of the country,
which runs into nearly 2O0,O00,00O
pounds of food of all kinds, at least
from 100000 to 100000 pounds
are stored in the Chicago district.
"This is not an abuse of day." said
Mrs. Harrison, "but has grown in
proportions ever since the first re-
frigeration plant was built. 1t has
become an established rule with food
spectators that no fresh. imperish-
able foods shall be allowed to reach
the market until the cold storage sup
plies have been drawn upon. Then the
usual course is for the oldest and most
unfit embalmed foods to be dumped
on the market and the fresh stuff to
pe put in its place in storage.
The law requiring that no food be
stored more than 10 months before it
Is sent to the market is ignored, ac-
cordng to cold storage engineers.
They say that no serious attempt has
ever been made to enforce it. Com
missioners of health everywhere neg
lect this plain requirement of their
duty. There never has been an in
spection of the Chicago district ware
houses and some of the poultry and
fish in them have been there since the
plants were built.
Some of the abuses are most bra
zen and amazing. For such acts
against public interest | believe Ger
MANY would send men to prison for
life"
