ton.
II is estimated that at least 100000

IN the year ending July 81. 1917, and
That at the end OF this period the worlds
surplus supplies of wheat will have de-
creased to 46. 5000. 900 bushels. The re-
port says II is only on account OF the
fact that last years harvests were
abundant. leaving a balance OF 100000
0oo bushels. that there Is available suf-
fclent wheat for the year ending with
neT' July.
The worlds surplus OF five cereals
