The Huron News-Record, 1891-09-30, Page 5Ar • WRAT AISMIT A.eepting the largest estituat ..,ef production, both at home und Atibreoad, and even° assuming that t 'United States and Canada can e 'port 220la ,000,000 bushe, "T American Agriculturist" still fin a deficit in the world's food supp .of at least 200,000,000 bushels Wheat aud rye, with a possibility the shortage being twice as grea .Added to this is the almost tot rfailure of the potato crop in It land, and a serious curtailment i the yield of potatoes on the Coat nent Even with the utwo economy of distributich and a unheard-of consumption of Amer -.can corn grave distress is before th masses of Europe. "The American Agriculturist says the enormous exports of whoa and flour front the United States i August prove that Europe regard the situation worse than it has ye .1)een painted.Otherwise, wh should he buy it) a single wont close upon lie harvest neanly hal EI Amuch wheat as she took from th United States during the entire firs eight months of the year followin -one of our largegt wheat crops an, .a period of bedrock prices ? Indeed August wheat exports were Mame treble .those of the sante month las year and four times aa much ae th -average exports at this season o late ye/rs. For the first time in years wheat bran and middlings are _being exported to Europe thus early in the season. "The Agriculturist" accepts these circumstances as the strongest possible reason for believ. ing that prices of what are to day ,unnaturally how. It looks for a sharp advance ie all cereals as soon as the demand realizes the limited extent of the world's actual supply renews its judgment that every bushel of high grade wheat is today worth $1 on the farm where it grew. TIte State, the Farmers Alliance paper of elle Northwest, has the -following to say : About a week ago a congress of grain dealers from all parts of Europe ruet at Vienna, Austria, and •computed figures about the crops in -Europe. These figures are the highest which well informed, re putable men could furnish, for if, in a famine year like this, they should give for the crop of any one country 'lower figures than circumstaneee - ? justified, the government of that country would certainly remonstrate. It is surely the 8olicv of Europeans mot to exaggerate their disaster. The figures of the Vienna Con- gress show that Europe raised 258,• 000,000 bushels of wheat and 490,- 000,000 bushels of rye less than last year. Last year it consumed all of its own wheat crop, aid at least 50,000,000 bushels of eserves, 100,- 000,000 bushels imported from America, all that other countries .could supyly, and all its rye crop. This year it will have front America 120,000,060 bushels more re last, if we take THE EXTREME FIGURES -which any reputable authority has made for our really splendid crop. It will have, as venal, what other countries supply, whizzlt is very in- oigniticant, but it will have 748,000,• 000 bushels less to be drawn from zreaerves. in ellen, it will have 120,000,000 hushele extra from America to make up a deficiency of 798,000,000 bush- els lees grain. Rye, being dearer in Europe than wheat, the latter be- cotnes a substitute, and is equally affected by deficiency in rye or wheat oupply. When it is entirely certain that Europeans will have to economize in bread to the extent of 078,000,- 000 bushels, and when the situation is aggravated by the partial failure of the potato crop, it is to be con- sidered what prices they would pay for American wheat. "We summarize the above as follows: Beware of ignorant or in, -termite(' adviser's. "Remember that the yearly Vienna Congress is the best author- ity in the world, making fts figures m entirely frootliuisd reports, never overestimating the shortage. es he x. be de ly of of t. al a- 11 et 11 t y h f e g t t f "Remember that these figured show a European shortage four times as large as our possible sur, ,plus. "Hold your wheat. You can not get left. "Wheat is cheap at $1.50 this year. You will soon see it at $2." The Toronto Yews remarks : The wheat shortage in Europe has created the feeling, especially among farmers, that prices are go- ing to rule exceptionally high throughout the season. Crop esti. mates, it mud be remembered, can - mot always be depended upon. Later information, as often happens, may -dissipate previous calculations. An immenae crop has been harvested in America, and it ts not unlikely that .the crop of 535,000,000 bushels in the United States may be under. estimated by many milliona. The crop of twit year, although' more IOW Mae this year, was under4ezei In teed. Good authorities differ as to pro-. bable surpluses and requirements of different countries. One places tbe shortage of the world at 8,000,000 bushels, another at 28,000,000, and another at 53,000,000 bushels. Out of a, atop of over 2,000,000,000 bushels the shortage is not so very large, and if prices are rushed up easly in the season, consumption will be restrioted. Prices would then be lower in the spring. Pres. eat quotations will pay farmers well, and therefore should not be refused. Taking a series of years it is found that prices are higher in the autumn than in the spring. if dealers like to speculate on prices let them do Ho, but it is beat for farmers to take a profit and a sure thing.
