BY PERCY SARL
(CoOvri CHIT. 1924, by United PreSS)

LONDON, July 30.-Sensational
rises in the wheat market in the
United States have been followed
by equal increases in the price OF
wheat and flour in England.
Flour in English markets has
jumped ten shillings "a sack since
July | and total of seventeen
shillings since May, causing "ppre-
hension throughout the country.
The standard four pound British
loaf already increased from the old
eight penny price will jump to ten
pence next Monday.
To the English farmer wheat
growing is profitable for the first
time since the war but to the great
majority of the population-the
wage earners-the high price of
bread means only added strain ON
the family budget.
Spectacular advances in bread
prices ducing the present month
have caused consumers to start an
agitation for resumption of the
war time practice of government
wheat buying but the president OF

Jump in Cost of Bread
In England Causes Strong Demand
For Government to Buy Wheat

possible to forecast how long pre-
sent high prices will be maintained.
Harvesting of the 1923 crop in the
northern hemisphere is not yet
completed and final figures may
cause a considerable change in the
situation, he believes. According
20 the latest report to the govern
ment board of trade, the situation
is as follows:
The factor most influencing the
outlook at present is the uncertain
ty of the Canadian crop, to which
may be attributed the recent rise
in prices. This situation undoubted-
ly has been aided, as is usual in
such circumstances, by market spc-
culation.
No Reason For Alarm
"There seems no reason to be
lieve at present that the world sup
ply of wheat during the coming
season will be under requirements.
Although prices for a time may con
tinue at higher levels than during
the corresponding period last year,
there is no justification now for
suggesting pending shortage or
even scarcity of wheat. "
In the great world market at
Liverpool there is strong opinion
that the present rise in wheat prices
in the United States is not due to
any attempt to corner world wheat
supplies, as such a procedure would
involve tremendous risk, owing to
the uncertainty of the Canadian
yield and prospects for the coming
crop in Australia and the Argen-
tine.
The rise, in the opinion of Liver
pool merchants, is due principally
TO the operation of "buli cliques -
in Chicago. Although prices have
advanced to a certain extent on all
exchanges because of unfavorable
crop reports from Canada and parts
Of the United States, it is believ-
ed there is widespread tendency
to follow Chicago's lead and at
tempt to frighten buyers into pay
ing enhanced prices.
On the other hand, Liverpool ad-
wits the bull factions have some
justification in the increased con-
sumption of wheat in Japan and
China. Japan is using twice the
amount of wheat it did before the
war and the Chinese also are for
saking rice to considerable ex-
tent.
1t is also admitted that the Rus
sian supply cannot reach pre-war
proportions for some years to come.
Liverpool believes, however, that
present rises in the wheat market
will stop when unexpected supplies
become available or when Japan
China, disgusted by high prices, go
back to rice, corn and other cere-
ais.

$H.2l as compared with $87 for

amounts is explained by fewer

The total expenditure for the
elementary schools amounted TO
$65l ,S30.07 for the year just ended
