WHEAT BULL
SAYS WORLD
IS SMILING
Optimism Means High
Prices, Declares Big
Operator.
RUSSIA IS FACTOR
Patten Sees Wheat
Climb as Scarcity
Is Felt.

CHICAGO, April 20.-Russia, according
to James A. Patten, the wheat king" IL
today the big, outstanding economic fac =
tor governing the trend of the world s
wheat prices. This great grain produc-
ing nation is knocked out OF the world
market for at least three years, he as
serts.
That's one reason "Jlm" Is "bull'-
the big bull perhaps, in the sensation
ally advancing Chicago market.
Another reason is the coming scarcity
OF wheat in the United States, which.
Patten says, will make itself felt in
May or June. resulting In higher prices.
Russia is responsible" he said.
Russia is out OF world wheat trade. She
won't be able to get back In for three or
four years Wen feed Russia for the
next Gfteen months. Before the war Rus
sia was a big world factor. She used to
export daily 1000 900 bushels Of wheat
and 100000 bushels Of rye into Ger
many and Austria Hungary. That's our
business now.
See those figures on the blackboard
800 900 bushels for export from our mar
kets today. That shows Europe Is oco-
nomically dependent upon America for
wheat. Il will continue 50 until Iiussia
gets back on her feet.
II don't expect TO see cheap wheat for
quite a time I figure, too that farmers
in the United States have been marketing
their wheat heavily. They had to. They
needed the money. They had borrowed
money, and the country banks were
pressing them. They haven't the wheat
now That's an impodtant factor.
The whole world had been In the
dumps some time back. Now it's differ
ent. The world is beginning 10 smile
The national state OF mind has a whole
lot TO do with prices. Pessimistlc peo-
pie low prices, optimistic people, high
prices"
