While American wheat has gone up in consequence of the general rise in all commodities the Russian crops are expected to be large enoi.gh to cover the entire German Ger-man demand at lower prices. Hence, adds the writer, the Berlin exchangeti are responding more readily to price conditions in Russia than to the fluctuations fluc-tuations in the American markets. |
