Market Experts Who Have Scanned
Situation Express Optimism.

Chicago, Feb. PIT Is estimated by
those who have gone over the winter
and spring wheat belts through cor
respondents that there will be enough
wheat to go around.
Some place the amount still in farm
ers' hands as high aS 2OO,O0O,NO0 BUSH
els, but the popular verdict is 175, ,OOO, 900
bushels. The supplies of -four and
wheat in second hands Is probably
79,OO0. 600 bushels smaller than at this
time last year.
The weather could hardly be more
unfavorable because of the low tenn
peratures. The car scarcity was never
as bad, and. moreover, the average
farmer. with his wheat held safely in
his own private bins, took a chance on
holding it for a chance to higher
prices by the government rather than
to ship it in.
There were many expressions OF
opinion on the board of trade curb
today as to the results of the maxi
mum prices that have been placed on
corn and oats, as well as on hog
products
AS viewed from an impartial stand
point there is ample room below the
figures set by the board of trade Of
ficials for the speculation in a liberal
manner. and it is expected that as
soon as conditions veer around to a
normal position the volume of trade
will be larger.
The speculative world, however, will
know where to stop in advancing the
price of the commodities. It is gener-
ally believed the government owns the
cash oats and hog products held in
Chicago and some of the smaller mar
