corn meal, rye or barley may be mixed
with the wheat to exc out the supply.
DEGREES Are Useless.
Tho experiences of the last year in
France have shown the impossibility
Of influencing economic conditions by
decree. The maximum selling price
OF wheat was fixed at price equiv
aIent to $1.S5 bushel, in order to
avoid IN increase In the cost OF
