Talk of unrestricted trad ta wheat on the
various exchange of the country during the
1818 season ia heard but even leader of th
trad are unaware of how such a condition
could xit. Th tact that the - government bag
placed a get price wttn oiiicreauau ior ius
1818 rop would indicate that no higher price
will be allowed and It ia a certainty that the
grower ' ig not going to sell hi wheat for lee
than th government ruling Just, to enable th
grain exchanges to resume business.
That the trade generally is in favor of un
restricted trading in oats and barley is assured,
leaders say thaathe condition which eiiated
during the 1817 season will not be duplicated
during 1818 and for that reason there is no
fear of prices going to extreme figures even
though iecnlation is tolerated. Supply and
demand, they say. will make the price during
the season unless set figure sre named.
