EUROPE'S BITTER NEED OF
BREAD CAUSES NEW
WAR PRICES
EVERY BUSHEL
OFFERED, SOLD
United State? Virtually the Only
Big Exporting Nation in the
World.
CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Europe's bitter
need of bread resulted today In spec- j
tac ul ar buying of wheat and caused ?
new war prlcea here In earnest. It j
waa pointed out, however, that tho ?
tiptop quotation attained today,1
$1.34 3-4 for May delivery, waa still.
roundly 50 cents a bushel under the
$1.85 forced here in 1898 by JOBeph
Leiter during a world-wide peace.
Notwithstanding that wheat today
at one time allowed a rise of 3 3-4
cents over Saturday night, the upturn
apparently had little if any effect on
farmers. Country offerings were de
cidedly meagre as they have been for
some time past. I
Although the prime lmpetU8 for j
high prices today came from seeming
ly unlimited export demand, the home
demand waa general and especially
so In the last hour of the session.
Millers, too, were said to be .anxious
buyers, fearing that the C amendous
export call would leave them short
of supplies. Roughly, the total Balir. I
to Europe today in the United states j
were estimated at three million bush
els. Of this aggregate, 750,000 bush,
els were definitely known to be for
the relief of the starving people of
Belgium.
Experienced observera failed tn
notice any usual excitement, despite
the swift upward swing of the mar
ket The one striking fact waa the
steady absorption of every bushel ot
wheat oSfsred for sale.
Talk among broker., centered al
most wholly on the looa that for the
time being, the United States was vir
tually the only big exporting nation
in the world. Nobody seemed to
look for an Immediate opening ot the
Dardanelles and it seemed io be tak
en aa a certainty that owing to pro
hibitive vessel rates, Argentina would
be unable to lako care even of con
tracts si ready made, especially with
Italy, where embarrassment will be
aetious if large amounts expected
prior to March I from 'Argentina are
not received as bargained for.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 4.-May wheat
reached $1,31 7-8 on tho Merchant's
Exchange here today, the highest price
recorded for wheat s in co war began.
The Increase was attributed to heavy
export demand and to the elimination
of the Argentine competition aa tho
result of high ocean freight rates]

wing board, finance-a 810,000,000 ship
ping corporation and expend not to ex
cecd thirty million dollars lor the pur*
chaso or chartering of ocean carri?re,
became today the foremost issue be
lo re Congress.
P>y a vote of 4G to 29 the senate made
tho Bhip purchase bill the unfinished
business, to be supplanted only by ap
propriation bills. This action, on. mo
tion of Senator Fletcher, acting, chair
man of the commerce committee, pre
cipitated a shown g on the part'ot tho *
opposition senators which gave certain
indication that ' there . were breakers
ahead for the propo-nd legislation.
Charging that an effort waa being made
to rush the bill with undue haste. Re
publican membcra, among them Sena
tors Gallinger, Lodge and Root, served
notice that the measure would be
fought to the last notch.
Minority members of the committee
filed a report, written by Senator' Bur
ten and endorsed by Senators Nelson;
Parkina, Smith (Michigan) and Oliver,
asserting that tho . plan proposed
would not relievo sh tobin r conditions
becanae lt would be Impossible for th?
government ot get sbipa enough ta do
any good. It pointed also to dangars Or
International complications arising, de
claring that "every craft set afloat by
the government would add one more
ri8k of our .being drawn Into the pres- 1
ent war.'
Senator Fletcher, who has charge ot
the bill and who recently conferred
with President Wilson concerning it,
urged the measure in a lenrthv sneeeh
after Republican senators had issued
their pronunclamento of opposition.
He declared the war had produced a
"ship famine" and that the interests
of alt people In the United States de
manded that the government take im
mediate atepa to aupply ships to carry
American producta' demanded in the
marketa of Europe and South America.
He instanced the fact that cotton sold
at 19 cents a pound in Germany when
lt waa bringing 7 cents In the United
States. Germany would consume 500,
000.000 poonda ot cotton lt sho could
get lt, he said, and tho South had fif
teen times that amount to sall.
When the war waa begun. Senator
Fletcher declared, England had G.000
and Germany 2.000 vessels in the over
seas trade, while the United States had
only six. He said that American mer
chant? gave annually to foreign ship
ownera 1300.000,000 in ocean frieights.
Charter rates here had increased, rn
some cases 400 per cent. Since the war
began, he added, and ships under the
American flag, were not obtainable at
any place.
The emergency bill opening Ameri
can registry to foreign built craft, Sen
ator Fletcher asserted, had not met
the needs of American manufacturers.
