One of the prominent exporters of the coun try, whose mnny years of experience enable him to talk with intelligence, points out the plain common sense view that Is evidently a vital factor In the present pricemaking of wheat. American wheat of tho lies! quality known to the trade Is going on the basis of aliout 80c per bushel frefi on board vessel at the seaboard. 'With present mod erate ocean freight, this gives 11 lower* priced food supply thnn the consuming countries have been accustomed to, and they are, therefore, steady buyers. Thus far In the crop year, America lias shipped about 82.000,000 bushels more wheat than during the corresponding period last year. Russia meanwhile has shipped about 30,- 000,000 bushels leas, and the Dnuube and Ar- — short about 25,000,000 and other shipping countries show trifling gains.
