The calendar year 1909 will show a
smaller expectation of wheat than any
year in the last decade, and an in

ment. The expectation of wheat for
the nine months ending with Septem-
Der amounted to only 27,76S,901 bush
els, against 6S,17S,935 bushels in the
same month of 1908; flour exports were
6,288,283 barrels, against 9,428,347.
This reduction in exports of wheat
seems to be due to increased consump-
ton at home rather than at any de-
cline in production. The average an

has exceeded any earlier five-year
