WHEAT EXPORT PROHIBITED
NORTH DAKOTA STATE’S ACTION. FALL IN PRICES SPELLING RUIN. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 11 p.m. New York, Oct. 16. Governor William Langer, of North Dakota, signed a proclamation late tonight prohibiting the shipment of wheat from North Dakota. The proclamation will become effective at midnight on Wednesday and will continue indefinitely. He will ask the Governors of the spring wheat producing States to join him.
Governor Langer took action under the authority granted by the 1933 Legislature. Wheat sold at Grand Forks on Saturday for 53 cents a bushel, which, he said, meant ruin to many people if the prices in other lines continued to advance. Under the Federal estimates of October 1 the North Dakota wheat production this year fell by 62,695,000 bushels.
