WHEAT PRICES SUSTAINED

SUCCESS OF THE POOL Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Today. "If it had not been for the wheat pool, I am satisfied there "would have been a sharp fall in the price of wheat this season,” said Mr. R. McPherson, manager of the New Zealand Wheat Growers’ association, in an interview 7 . There had been a tremendous rush of wheat early in the season. Millers who had made forward purchases were quickly stocked up and, in cases, could not find room for another bag in their stores, apart from the difficulty of arranging the necessary finance for further purchases. If the pool had not been in operation this -would have just been the opportunity for the speculator to step in and force down the price of wheat. The pool was not up against the miller, but against the speculator. Mr. McPherson said that the pool had made a satisfactory number of sales and had been able to obtain its price.
