From -harvest to their peak in late January, wheat prices at Chicago and St. Louis went up .40 to 50 cents a bushel. What are the prospects for 1955? Will the price of wheat go up enough to offset storage costs? It probably will but we I but tins wheat .is owned by the I l^'ernment anfl cannot move ; freely into market use. By Act °f Congress, the USDA is pro- ; hibitod from selling storable j . -vheat into the domestic' market.; •or normal use at less than a I P' t'scribed formula price. Thisr • funuula is 5 per cent above the ; 'U! i ent support price plus nor- ; carrying charges. | The applicable "current sup- j ; Pr>!t price" during coming months' ' !s that announced for the 19n5 j '"'op. It is the equivalent of $2.35 j •i bushel for No. 2 wheat at t.he-j Chicago and St. Louis markets. 1 Thus the "legal sale price" of! government wheat for domestic Again scarcity of free wheat is | the issue. The more of the 1955 j crop that is sealed under the | lo'an program, the ltiore prices are liikely to rise • later in the season. This is because It takes higher prices to redeem wheat than to keep it out of the loan. A much smaller proportion of the 1955 crop will go under loan than last year. Market prices are higher while support prices are lower, so pre-harvest market prices are netting almost as much as the loan to farmers who do not have their own storage. Prices for the 1955 wheat crop should not mislead us about the true status of wheat. The longcannot be certain. Here are the important points to consider. The 1955 United States wheat crop is less than we will use and export between now and the 1956 harvest. The USDA estimates the 1955 crop will be 845 million bushels. Disappearance --- use in the United States and exports -- is expected to he about 900 million bushels. So we will likely need to draw on old stocks to supply the 1955- 56 market. How much ancb at what price this wheat will come into market use are two of the uncertainties -in the wheat "outlook. Stocks of old wheat are large -- about 1,000 million bushels -- Fred Wiedrich, Jr., home. In the afternoon, Mrs. Saunders and Georgia Mary, Mrs. Fred Wiedrich, Jr., and Bobbie Brennan, Jr., were visitors in the Jack Leonard home at Lake Geneva. Mr. Wiedrich and Mr. Saunders were evening guests there. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Winn and Mr. and Mrs. Louis Winn arrived home Sunday from a ten-day trip to South Dakota. Miss Marian Peet of Elgin spent the weekend with her mother, l\flrs. Lena Peet. I <'M' would be S2.1S- a bushel and "P at our two principal Illinois markets. In late June the market pik-e for wheat was as much •1-< at) cents below this level; : The legal restrictions on sale government wheat in the I'nited States market do not hold for the export market. Exports are expected to run about 25(1 million bushels. It is conceivable, therefore. Huil much of our free wheat, i from the 1955 crop of 845 million : bushels could be left to supply | thr domestic market. At present ; the level of wheat feeding to livestock will be about 150 $nil- ; lion bushels in 1955-56. A policy of supplying the export market out of government i stocks would be sound in view . of our large wheat supply. It •v'nild. however, tend to hold down wheat prices. time trend is toward lower wheat prices. Accumulation of stocks in government binfe only delays the adjustment and will make it worse when it comes.
