The world's wheat market reached
its lowest, yesterday, since 1908. The I
price of wheat has been slowly but
surely falling for some time. This
downward tendency in the price of
the staff of life is world wide, and
the conditions governing it are world
conditions. Just now the reciproc
ity agitation will get the blame for it
in the U. S. But the real
cause is wider and more far reaching.
The world’s wheat harvest last year
was unusually large. The crop in
the United States was a heavy one.
The heavy rain and snow fall over
almost the entire wheat producing ter
ritory, is almost equivalent to a
guarantee of another big crop next
year. These general facts coupled
with local conditions have combined
to bring the price of wheat down be
low the lowest point recahed in 3
years.
Miss Nan Aapenwall will give an
exhibit in lairiating at the Grand
Theater Frriday and Saturday night.
