Wheat prices hold steady for 1919 1920 outlook
Prospects show no wheat price rise during the 1919 1920 crop year. The Food Admin announces a surplus near 200 million bushels by year end. South America expects 175 million export surplus with a March new crop, while Australia and India report 500 million bushels surplus at 365 cents per bushel. Consequently the Administration asserts prices above 220 cents are unlikely in the US and Canada.
