Mr. A. Legge, chairman of the United States Farm Board, in addressing newspapermen on Wednesday, declared that now was a good time for millers and feeders to purchase wheat .while it was cheap. He was asked if he meant that the price was going up. He declared that he was not making promises, but he estimated that more than two hundred million. bushels of wheat would be used for live stock feed this year. Mr. Legge declared that the wheat surplus was being reduced daily by large feeding to' live stock. He said: “The feeding of wheat to live stock is much larger than expected. I advise millers and others who need wheat to cover their requirements now.” He also stated that Russian wheat exports during the next live years would increase on such a scale that it would be unprofitable for American growers to ship wheat abroad. He therefore advised limitation of United States production to domestic wheat requirements, and advised further restriction on grain speculation, since the same wheat was'being sold over and over. In conclusion, he stated that when Russia again entered the world’s markets on a large scale “dollar wheat” would be a rarity. Liverpool prices would then be below a dollar, but United States prices would be somewhat higher if production were limited to the domestic demand. New York, November 26.
