Wheat AS An Investment.

Chicago, Feb. 11-World exports OF

record) France, Holland and Italy
are consuming above the exception
and forecasts of 1913. Worlds Wis
ible is large and the European visible

year, is moderate.
To February 1, Canada has probably
exported S5,oO0,0 900 and at her present
outgo Will export near 30.000,0OO more
during February and March. At this
rate. Canada would hold about final

Moderate.
On the basis of recent imports by
Italy and France the wheat crop OF
these countries are probably over
estimated 100000. The Argentine
failure is represented by exports OF
1000, 900 in past three weeks versus
II, 900 last year.
II the European demand continues,
weekly world exports will have TO dup
licate the February L to May l, 1913,
period when they averaged about lo,-
400, 900 per week. For this period OF
1913 Argentine vessels groaned be-
meath a load of 100000 per week.
For the February 1 to May L, 1914
period Argentina will evidently be for
tunate to average 100000. OF the
2S5 million North American surplus,
19O, 100000 has drifted abroad. A sur
plus of 95,00O,O00 early in February
is not bearish.
The situation turns on Russia. Since
July 1 this land of below zero has
shipped 1OO,0OO,000. Largest for first

For the balance of February the for
