Wheat Prices
Crash; Lowest
in $40 Years

The price of wheat on the world
markets descended Wednesday to the
lowest level in the history of United
States. 1t went down in foreign
markets lower than it has been in
the last $40 years, lower in England
than it has been since the year 1892
Wheat for December delivery stood
yesterday in the Chicago market at
A and one eighth cents a bushel
which means about "a cents for the
nearby farmers, and less for the
others. Kansas wheat is reported by
capitalist economists to be selling at
just about one fourth the cost to tf2
farmer of raising it. Many rural
wheat buying agents hay1 simply
shut up shop in the face of the catas-
trophe.
Bread Costs AS Much
Meanwhile the price of bread re-
mains the same as it was when wheat
sold for over dollar bushel, around
to 10 cents loaf. The so-called
returning prosperity" recently hailed
by the capitalist press, politicians and
economists, has struck down the
farmer into ruin continues to starve
its millions of city workers. United
struggle of the jobless and employed
workers in the cities and the farm
strikers for higher prices to the
farmers and lower prices to the city
workers must go on. Vote Commu-
mist against system that is dealing
the farmer the worst blow in go
years and filling the cities with rag
ged hungry families!

RECOVERY HAILED
BY BABSON EXPERT
Vice President of Statistics Agency
Declares Worst Over for
American Business.
BY ths Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, December S-Tne
worst Is over and a business revival is
now in the making, Ralph B. Wilson,
vice president of the Babson statistical
organization. told group of Kansas
City real estate men and other business
leaders here.
1.-THE low point of employment was
reached last July" he declared BE
fore 1888 Is over you will see vigorous
upturn in employment trends through
out general industry. It Is not unrea-
sonable to expect business to reach
normal by the close of 1884.
If this forecast is even approximately
true there Is better business ahead for
all Of us for several years to come.
Well be on the road to recovery long
before the great mass Of people real
Inc It,"
There Is a scarcity Of finished mer-
chandise in the hands Of retailers" Mr..
Wilson observed, commenting on Nation
wide conditions, "and more goods con-
stantly are being consumed, even under
present conditions, than are being pro-
duced. A flood of orders may burst at
any time and find the retailers cup
boards bare.
Already harbingers Of improved busi-
ness are bobbing up here and there in
our industrial foliage. There recently
has been more than seasonal activity in
the lumber business, silk, wool, cotton,
shoes, steel mill activity, coal production
and car lossdings. This gain has been
held. The volume of business has gone
up recently without any extension of
credit, which indicates healthy stu
alton.

COTTON Markets
QUIET FOR WEEK
Prices Improve Slightly, but
Volume Tapers Off
at Close.
" the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 3.-The cot
ton market has been comparatively
quiet during the last week. Southern
selling and occasional spurts of hqui-
dalton have been absorbed by further
trade buying and covering and after
selling off to SIT for March contracts
on Tuesday morning, or into new low
ground for the movement and about 4
cents per pound below the high level
reached on the advance of late last
August, prices showed slight rallies. The
bulges were not fully maintained, how
ever, and the volume Of business ia
pered of to comparatively small pro-
portions toward the end of the week.
Disposed 10 Wait.
Traders were evidently disposed to
await further developments In the In
ternational debt situation, or the ap-
preaching Government crop report,
while uncertainty as TO farm relief
measures which might be brought up
have contributed to the situation in
this respect. Up to the end of the week
only two of the private end-November
crop reports have been issued, one Of
them placing the indication at 1921
600 bales and the other at IL 200 900.
Both these figures were above esti-
mates issued by the same authorities
last month and probably tended to pro-
mote expectations of a slight increase
in the final Government estimate of the
season, which Is scheduled for publica-
ton on December 3 The Anal official
figures will compare with the Govern
ment's November indication OF II ,947,-
600 bales.
According to latest estimates of the
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics world
cotton production for this season Is now
estimated at 23,4oo,000 bales of 478
pounds compared with crop of 81 $780,
600 bales last year. Since these figures
were issued, some private authorities
have reduced their previous estimates
of the Chinese crop from 2,S00,000 to
100000 bales.
Consumption Gains.
The New York Cotton Exchange Serv-
ice estimated worlds consumption of
American for October at Its, 900 bales
compared with 100000 last year, max
ing 3,3l9, 600 bales for the first three
months Of this season compared with
2,996,000 last year. These figures, how
ever, were accompanied by comment to
the effect that 1t seems improbable con-
sumption win continue to exceed last
season by this amount during the rest
Of the season. ,..4
Some foreign buying was reported
here during the week, including brokers
with Japanese connections. The Liver
pool buying, however, was believed to
have been chiefly on the differences and
the fluctuations IN sterling.

alike are philosophically viewing the

Before the depression, Wall Street

tributed by the brokers TO their en-

approach of Christmas so much as ex-
pressions of fear that many employees
would find themselves jobless Is q re-
suit Of year-end dissolutions or con-
solicitations Of firms.
Apprehension of reduced employment
In wall Street is less acute now than
it was at this time a year ago. Most
OF the brokers long since cut their stats
drastically to comport with the small
volume Of business on the Stock Ex-
change, and there is less talk Of firms
merging or going out of business.
