The Financial Chronicle argues that wartime effects on prices were overestimated in 1870 and 1877. It notes brief gold premium spikes and then price reversion, with exports and grain averages falling, while wheat stays scarce. Russia's grain surplus and US supply could offset demand, with wheat acreage increasing in the Northwest and spring yields uncertain, implying a potential fall in winter wheat output to about 356.5 million bushels and total crops near 418 million if spring yields match last year.
The analysis forecasts a total wheat supply of 584 million bushels with home use limited to 315 million. A surplus of 219 million must go to export, with about 135 million likely sold to Germany and France this year. If demand from Germany and France drops by 18 million, and Russia exports replace Britain, about 10.9 million bushels move to Russia and 8 million to cover Britain’s 10 percent lower wheat acreage, leaving a cushion of 78.76 million bushels for contingencies. Farmers may expect fair prices but not Civil War level highs.
