ARGENTINA'S WHEAT
CROP MAKES RECORD

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Jan. 21.-With
wheat shortage In all the worlds mar
kets estimated here at 100000 tons,
Argentina expects to have record crop
of that cereal and to have 4,0O0, 900 tons for
export after satisfying the home demand
and Withholding the seed reserve.
OF the surplus for export the British
government, acting In behalf of the entente
allies, is credited here with the intention
of buying 2,5O0.0OO tons while Spain and
Holland together have engaged 100000
tons.
A movement has been iuaugurated
among the principal grain merchants to
suggest to the government the advisability
Of purchasing the entire wheat surplus of
the country. enabling the government thus
to deal directly with foreign buyers and to
insist upon a standard price. This Is
favored on the ground that 1t would give
he farmer ready money at once and enable
him to free himself Of the many debts
he has contracted in past years OF bad
harvests.

are scarce owing in part to miscalcula.
