Review of Wheat Prices and Market Factors in 1931 1952
Review explains wheat price fell from 6 cents per bushel in 1931 to 41 cents in 1952, a drop of 18.5 cents. Identifies three main influences: sterling weakness against the Canadian dollar, global 1932 financial crisis reducing commodity prices, and shifting supply demand with exports and carryover. Notes large surplus in exporting countries and higher yields in importing nations lowering demand. Concludes price decline tied to distribution of surplus rather than total stock.
