Price Fixers Blamed for Wheat’s Activity
A charge that rising wheat prices on the Chicago board were caused by price fixing speculators is made by Senator Shipstead Minnesota in a letter to Julius Barnes former president of the Chamber of Commerce. He asserts that the Agriculture Department may be propagandizing to create a shortage and urges farmers to withhold wheat to keep prices high until prices fall. The memo notes possible government cooperation with the propaganda and warns of action impacting farm operations.
