The article focuses on the fall in the price of wheat, which is due to the conditions of world demand and supply. Such a price, disastrous as it is to most of the wheat growers, is likely to be even more disastrous to a national administration facing Congressional elections. Authorities accordingly discovers that Russia is responsible. The Russian Government, which expects to have a large amount of wheat to sell for export, has been engaging in certain "future" operations on the Chicago Board of Trade, the world's leading grain market, just as any other big grain operator might do under similar circumstances.
