on Hand in 1917.

" ashington, Jan. 4.-More than
twice as much wheat and greatly i'll
creased stocks of all other cereals
were OH hand in United States grain
elevators. warehouses and mills Dec.
than at the same time year ago.
Oat, and rice were the only eNcep-

year ago. Corresponding Bradstreet
figures for 1918 show I3l.s84,oo
bushels as against 2o633,ooo bushels
for 1917.
The figures indicate the excellent
position America holds regarding the

cient distributions. will be able to
render extensive relief to the coun-
tries OF Europe.
