Konni'l h ' Itefore election, anti-adniihistration politicians asserted 'that the increase in tjie price of wheat was the result of a Wall Street pool set up to influence tho farmer vote, says The Saturday Evening Post.

The world ' '" ii"fc'niix. ' -n Varry-over of wheat . on July first was less than previously j -X'-iT 'Zn Z! mnlicipatcd. No wheat is to come out of Russia this y-ir1 and the exports horn Canada havo been delayed. This leit the United States as the principal source of supply during .the autumnal months, and before the date of tho election' more than a hundred million bushels of wheat had already ;been exported. J .' Naturally, the buying of this wheat tended to raise tha price, supported by hiji-h price in Liverpool, lairopo needs the wheat, we have it, we have been for the time being; the thief source of supply.. In effect, Kurope has bid up' the price of wheat on our markets. Doubtless Wall Street would like to have the credit or liavinr secured for the American fanner the enlargement of income that is represented in the side of our hu ge crop of wheat at enhanced prices. , , And yet cold facls compel us to attribute it to short mips elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere and to the pressinjr need of lAiropc for bread. l ' - 1 .
