THE WHEAT SITUATION.
What the price of wheat is to be
is largely a matter of guess work,
and these guesses can be based on
reports only. These reports are so
widely at variance that no calcula
tions can be made, because there is
nothing tangible to make a calcula
tion on. The commercial reviews
do not agree with each other, and
none of these agree with the govern
ment reports. The only self-evident
thing about the market is that it is
weak and prices steadily falling. A
fe days ago wheat was selling here
at 73. It has gone steadily down,
opening this week at 73, dropping to
70 jestrnlay and this morning.
The wheat buyers regulate their
prices by the world's supplj , and the
cause of the drop is aid to be the
prospects for abundant crops in Ar
gentine, India and Australia. Of
course what those harvests will be is
largely a matter of conjecture, for it
is nearly four months yet before that
grain will be cut, and at least five
months before it can reach Europe.
In five months much may happen.
Last year Argentine gave promise of
abundant crops six weeks before har
vest time, yet owing to grasshoppers
and drouth, the crop was a failure
and Argentine had to import wheat.
Almost the same conditions existed
in Australia, where lack of rain left
that country so short of grain that
it bad to be imported; while in In
dia the same cause led to a terrible
famine.
Those who build on these coun
tries supplying the European market
build on a very 6haky foundation,
and yet the dealer is compelled to
take these things into consideration,
because if good crops are raised in
these countries the price of wheat
will go still further down.
As we said at the beginning of this
article, it is largely a matter of guess
work, in which each must do his own
guessing. It seems probable now
that the high notch has been reached,
for a time at least, and that wheat
will not advance for some months,
or until something definite is known
of the crops of the southern hemis
phere. If they are good, wheat will
not command any greater price than
now, and perhaps will take a decided
tumble. If they should prove fail
ures or partial failures, dollar wheat
will not be an impossibility.
The Commercial Review yester
day says:
"The future depends chiefly on
three things the foreign demand,
the outcome of the Australian and
Argentine crop, and the speculative
buying. "We are within three months
of harvest in Argentina. If the
present; crop prospects are maintained
Argentina will have 35,000,000 bush
els to 40,000,000 bushels for export,
and some of the estimates run up to
55,000,000 bushels to 60,000,000
bushels. Australia will have some
exportable surplus, and as foreigners
do not require all the wheat that
they are short at once, there will
probably be enough to go around.
There is considerable skepticism
among certain elements in the trade
in regard to the estimated require
ments. It has been a practice of
many statisticians for years to figure
out a shoitage in the world's visible
supply which has never materialized.
This tends to create the impression
that there will be enough wheat to
go around the world over, and that
prices are now at a point where only
heavy speculative buying will create
a further material advance."
FROM THE KLONDIKE.
Haying read carefully the letters
from people on the Yukon to their
friends, we are now able to make an
accurate statement as to conditions
around the Klondike :
1. The reports concerning the
richness of the gold fields have been
grossly exaggerated.
2. There is no great scarcity of
food, and it is going to be more
scarce.
3. The gold reports have not
been exaggerated ; on the contrary,
the half has not been told.
4. There is a scarcity of food,
but an abundance for all.
5. Go by Dyea, only a fool would
go by St. .Michaels.
G. Go by St. Michaels, only a
long-eared ass would, try any other
route. i
7. It is the chance of your life.
8. You chance your life if you go.
9. The cold is intense.
10. The air is so dry you do not
know it is cold.
In view of all this we advise our
fiiends to' eat a whale before they
start, take money enough to last two
years, say $2500, and then inyest it
in a farm and stay at home. If,
however, our advice should not be
followed, for heaven's sake pay up
your subscription to this paper before
you leave. We draw the line on
waiting for bur pay until the money
is unfrozen in the arctic circle.
The Telegram says, "Mitchell Re
publicanism is" running on deflated
tires: And it may be added that the
machine is out of Geer." The Tele
gram is right in one respect, when it
got out of Geer it lost its principal
supply of wind.
