CHICAGO, December 24.-In thu
midst Of gloom caused by repeated dips
of wheat future prices into new and
historic low ground, there is appearing
an element that might mean cheer for
producers in the months to come.
IhlS is the persistent strength Of ca
wheat prlceS-the money paid for (

o. wheat in this country during
present week rargcd more than
cents above parity with those of otE,
exporting countries. figured On a GO,
basis, No hard ana No red whea.
at cash markets sold 1l2 to 2 cents
above that level
The premiums commanded by sellers
IN their deals with mills and other pur-
chasers, leads one of the principal
private grain experts to say that:
For the first time in many years.
excepting the artificial situation due to
farm board stabilization. We are enter
ing the Winter with cash wheat selling
equal to or at premium over the Nav
delivery of futures in nearly every
market Of the country. Altogether. it
is the healthieet situation Imaginable
end. in cur opinion. Offers positive evi-
Gencc that cash wheat priceG have
reached Gn irreduci1la minimum for the
United States"
This Development of strength in cash
markets reflects the holding policy on
the part of producers the prospect of
another short Winter wheat crop for
1888 and buying by professors of grain
who expect that old crop grain may be
exempted from the proposed excise tax
