where they were enabled to place the
vessel room engaged. It was said
that Italy, France and Great Britain
were also anxious to cancel a few pur.
chases Of oats and corn, as well as OF
canned meats.
There were divers opinions as to
the cause OF this wholeale cancella.
ton, the most popular one being the
absence OF ready money due to the
heavy decline in demand sterling.
Some in the trade believe the allies
made these cancellations SO that they
might have available money to pur.
chase munitions Of war; that then
their crops are almost ready for use.
Others claimed that foreigners are
waiting for the movement OF the Can.
adam crop. which is more desirable
for them than the wheat purchased In
the United States. Great Britain has
purchased the surplus wheat of India,
and 100000 bushels was shipped to
the United Kingdom from that country
this week.
