Advance in Prices of Wheat.

The phenomenal advance in the market price of wheat is attributed to the war r but. whatever effect that has had, the main cause of the advance is the short crops in nearly all the wheat producing countries of the world, and had there -Wot been an increase in the production, of‘that cereal in the United States' tlie distress that is * ns being shown in some of the countries would be r fnr greater than it now is.—lndian'rfpoHs News. Bro. Clark, who claims that the increased -prices in wheat is all due to the Dingley bill and republican cont’rol in our nation's affairs would confer aj. favor on the readers of the .Journal by reproducing the above arficle. The wheat crop of -Europe" was 37,948,000. below the average, South America 2,(0),000. and Africa 2,200,000. The total shortage of the world’s output of wheat last year was 216,467,000. Was the Dingley bill resposible for the shortage which of course brought about higher prices? Bro. Clark’s articles on the tariff question reminds one of mother Goose’s nursery tales.
