FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1925. THE HARDIN TRIBUNE-HERALD PAGZ NII4111 • • EllITURIAL ASTI FEATURE l'AfiE WHY THE THE WIlEAT MARKET IS ERRATIC Not in years has a wheat market been so erratic in the United\ States, with such violent oscillations of the needle on the price dial. Apparently Chicago has become a gamblers' market, with alternate fluctuations from day to day of 5 to 8 cents a bushel. Europe is still a keen and active buyer, but is cannily trying to mask its necessities. When bear rumors hammer down the price 6, 6 or 7 cents a bushel, European buyers come back brisk- ly. They are scraping the bottom of the flour barrel over there and trying to muffle the sound. As a price of violent price fluctuations an erratic export movement is reported. Exports of American wheat fell to 316,- 000 in the week ending February 28 and then rose to 2,296,000 buslieN in the week ended March 7, with - an additional export movement in the latter week of 1,516,000 bushels of Canadian wheat shipped in transit through ports of the United States. But while exports of American wheat in general increased in the week ended March 7, exports of wheat and flour from Pacific ports, as against exports of flour were 15,000 barrels, as against exports of 58,000 barrels in the week ended February 28. Meanwhile, the European shortage grows more acute. Spain is considering the free importation of wheat. Portugal I , as made heavy purchases, and Russia and Rumania are in the market. Soviet Russia is under the need of importing seed wheat. In France the government is trying to do a slack wire ha! - The Joke Column \Biting\ Retort \I like cheerfainet..s.

The government has asked parliament for authority to set up a comprehensive sys- tem of wheat control. The proposal brought sharp criticism from the agriculture committee of the chamber of deputies, to which it was submitted. The farming- interests declare that any interference with the wheat market is unfortunate at this time, when wheat planting should receive governmental encouragement. In Poland the strong co-operative society of Polish cities has bought its own mill to be independent of the local millers and, it is reported, intends to purchase grain in the United States. In brief, the situition is this: Europe is short of wheat and ta draw -lieavily-ii-pon--the remaining -American- and Canadian supplies.

Butter was ten cents a pound. Milk was five cents a quart, and the cellar was filled with vegetables and canned fruit every fall.
