S.) — Wlille American farmers exult In the sudden rise in the price of wheat, Englishmen are mourning and even becoming fearful. With England uljnoat entirely de pendent upon tile outside world for it h wheat, flour mid bread, any rapid increase In the price of these com modities Is a serious one. and more serious while the nation is still in the midst of a triido depression, with a permanent army of unemployed of more than n million. Flour prices have already Increas ed In England, and the price of bread is gradually being raised. The peo ple are crying ut In protest, and the newspaper! are making a great deal of noise and flaunting charges of American speculation depriving English people of the staff of life. There have been many recent and bitter controversies as to the reason for the Increase In the price of bread, and the majority of opinion lays the onus on American speculators. More studious thlnkors, however, are searching elsewhere for light on the subject, for they point out that there Is no world shortage In wheat and that England Is not dependent en- tirely upon Amerlcn for her supply. Some of the blame hut been laid at the doors of English authorities. London stocks of wheat on July 1 were 278.400 hundredweight, against an average weekly consumption of nearly 800,000 hundredweight. The majority nt these stocks were held by millers and were not available for the general market, The Port of Ixindon authority is blamed for thia condition. It Is contended that the port charges of Ixindon have been mado bo high that trade ia driven elsewhere and thut local pur chasers cannot afford to buy and store wheat when it is at a low level, •with the cofineq lient restilt that all England feels every fluctuation In prices. • Strong pressure is being brought to bear to bring about a change tn the port charges in London, so that the business of warehousing may again be revived. Other ports, of course, feed England, but they in volve a long haul hy rail and there fore Ixindon has become the chief center for the wheat traffic, and it is stated that unless a changif fk made*the food supply of the nation will be endangered.
