GRAIN PRICE BOOST
Big AID TO FARMERS
Billion Dollars Added to Value
of Crops as Result of Ad-
vance In Wheat Prices.

Chicago. nl.-A billion dollars has
been added to speculative value Of
the grain crops in the United States
and the Canadian northwest as re-
suit OF the advance in the last few
weeks of approximately 30 cents a
bushel in wheat prices in the United
States and an increase of AZ cents
a bushel in Canada.
Trading In grain on the Chicago
Board of Trade has reached it's peak
since May, 1928. From an average
of 100000 bushels of grain a day
as the extent Of trading, last week
found the "Pit" handling 100000
bushels a day. Sixty-nine million
bushels of this amount were in wheat
for future delivery.
Much of the advance, observers de-
clare, is due to the foreign interest
in American grain. Foreign dealers
have purchased more than $4,000 900
bushels of wheat futures within the
past fortnight.
Underlying the advance is the fact
that both wheat and corn crops will
be unusually short, due to the unsea-
sonable growing weather. The short
age in corn is estimated as the largest
in 20 years, the July first forecast
being about two and a half billion
of bushels. A prolonged hot spell
during August may raise this amount
slightly, however, crop experts de-
clare. AS it stands, the corn crop
now is two weeks slate"
