Wheat Situation Serious.
"The disturbance to the worlds
commerce and short supplies has
caused a greater disruption the nor
NAL markets for wheat than any 9th
err cereal.
81. AS a result of the isolation Of
certain of the worlds wheat produc-
ing countries the normal determina-
ton of the price of wheat by the ebb
and flow Of commerce is totally de-
stroyed.
"2. In order to control speculation
and to secure more equitable distribu'
ton of the available wheat and flour
between their countries ) the allied
governments have placed the whole
purchase of their supplies in the
hands of one buyer. Also the Euro
pean neutrals are now buying their
wheat through single government
agents instead of in the normal course
of commerce. Therefore, the export
price of wheat and flour, and thus
the real price, if not controlled, will
the foreign purchaser.
Warehouse Glut a Menace.
"3. In normal times, American
wheat moves largely to Europe in the
fall months. This year, the shortage
of shipping necessitates it's distribu-
ton over the entire year. Therefore,
there is danger of a glut in our ware
house system over considerable Pc
riOd.
q. There are large stocks Of
wheat which cannot be drawn upon
by the Allies during the war, but in
the event of peace or defeat OF the
submarines, these would be available
and might seriously demoralize the
demand for American wheat.
IS. 1t must be clearly understood
that the guaranteed minimum price
of 81 per bushel for wheat, set out in
the food bill, does not apply to the
1917 harvest, but only to the 1918 har-
vest, and then under conditions which
must be elaborated. There is, there
fore, no determined price for the 1917
harvest.
