Washington, Oct. 15.—President Wil son has requested Governor Allen of Kansas to forward to the federal trade commission any information he has tend ing to indicate that the recent decline in wheat prices was due to unfair practices or competition or to other artificial causes.

It said: "The president hatf received your tele gram of October 6 with reference to the wheat situation and has received a num ber of others of similar tenor. He fully recognizes the importance of the ques tions you raise and he has, therefore, requested the federal trade commission and the department of agriculture to look into the matter at the earliest possible moment with a view to determine what, if anything, can properly be done. In the meantime he will appreciate it if you will be good enough to forward to the federal trade commission any in formation in your possession, which, in your opinion, tends to indicate that the recent decline in wheat prices is due to unfair practices or competition, or to other artificial causes."
