Experts III grain statistics are still

about the propable surplus wheat for
export in the United States in the cur.

term the shortage in the worlds sup
ply 1t is difficult to see the full force
OF the argument Of those who rea-

wheat to go around into anywhere
from X 00O,0O0 to 22,0O0, 600 bushels
according to the source of inspiration.
The United Kingdom consumed 300
OOO.0oO bushels of wheat III 1925, 20
Aug. 81. The estimates Of the total
domestic (British) crop of wheat just
harvested range from s0,OU0.0Oo to
$4,000, 600 bushels. Call it but So. 600
600 If You please. There was in store
ut British ports and at Waterside in
the United Kingdom at the cereal
year 100000 bushels of wheat.
And this does not include flour from
America and other foreign grain
then clogging millers warehouses in
the United Kingdom. These two es-
Inmates, which are low, show an az
gregate British supply for the years
Iss3-s4 amounting to 10000, 600 bush
els, and leaves 100000, 900 to be sap
piled. Say that from all scources
about 10000, 600 bushels Of wheat had
been imported into the United King
dom during September and October.
That leaves, at ali inside estimate, but
