- i "The average bushelage of wheat
B exported during the first 10 months
y of the normal, pre-war years of
Hllu-14 was 6ii.oSS,44 bushels. In
I 19211 all previous records were shat
il tered when we exported 16S,348,S14
bushels in the first 10 months of the
B year. Hut in l!i-l. when we are told
g atfiihi. as in 192U, that European
demand for Amerieau wheat bus
" slumped, we find that in the first
g in months of this year we have cx
! ported ;ro,00,737 bushels almost
'.iO.iiOO.OOU bushels niore than In
11121).
L' "With present prices for grain
" driving farmers Into debt, and even
bankruptcy, we are told that we may
g expect the market to go lower than
J1 for wheat. The most frequent ex
B planation is that of 'no foreign de
g inanil.' Hut now we learn that Swe
jdlsh grain growem have askel for
P an embargo against 'cheap American
illwheat' because it is being; imported
y at less than the Swedish cost of pro
" (luction.
"November 3 wheat sold at 99
'cents u bushel in the Chicago mar
ket, the first time in five years that
P( it fell below the dollar mark. When
g Interviewed concerning the subject,
James J'atten, wheat king, said that
P It would go down much farther, since
there ra no consumptive demand to
; bolster up the market, and that Ku
P , ropean credit was so poor that 110
export demand could be depended
upon to hold up the market.
; .Market is Depressed.
P "This dtatenient has been repeated
bluguln and again with the result that
Tilt has been one of the most depress
P jing fat tors in the markets. While
jthut was being told and enlarged
Fion, the exporters were handling an
luvcrage of nine million bushels more
'g wheat each month than In 1920, and
iil9L'0 was 11 reisord breaker.
P "When the year was done, official
jp 'government figures showed ihat a
y;total of 307,394,000 bushels ot wheat
and wheat flour were exported ')n
p 1920, as compared to the overage e!t-
port of :27,!S0,600 bushels of wlieat
.ur.d wheat flour for the five yea,rs
Ijof 1915-1919 exclusive. If the ratio
"IHgiof 1921 exports are continued to the
- .close of the year, the total exports
, of wheat and wheat flour will ex-
ceed 360,000,000 bushels. And then
we are told that the reason why f
have dollar wheat is because export
trade is shot to pieces; there is flo
demand.
