The Supply Of Wheat.

The wheat report of the Department
of Agriculture indicates smaller sup
ply than was supposed, and leaves only
possible total of $1,000, 600 more bush
els for export. The total supply, visible
and i'll farmers hands, on March /, is
placed at 135, 900, 600 bushels. For four
months TO come consumption will re-
quire at least from 90,O0o0G0 to 100000,
600 bushels, without including Spring
sowing. Leaving margin of 10000, 600
bushels distributed through the land, or
a month supply, in process OF consump
ton, food, seed wheat, and export of
Ii, 600, 900 bushels, would reduce the visi-
BILE supply to nothing, which never takes
place. The test of the Agricultural De
partment figures by the next four
months will be waited with interest.
