say. In addition, about 800, 1000, 900
bushels in various localities, which
have been held as a carry over, are al
ready used up. Many of the large
wheat districts in Russia, Rumania,
Austria, Germany and parts of Italy
and France this year will produce only
@ small portion Of their normal crop.
MARKET FOR EXPORT.
So officials have no doubt that the
American export supply can be sold at
any figure asked for it. Great Britain,
Is now buying some wheat at about
$1.25 but this is on contracts which
have been held up because of lack of
shipping. The Liverpool market can
not again control the world wheat
price until there is a world surplus of
wheat, officials state.
If the plan contemplated is ap-
proved, all exports will be handled by
the United States Grain corporation
which handled the food supply from the
United States to the allies during the
war. Through them the allies agree to
accept the wheat at the New York
price which is now about $40. Off
raised for export was to be sent to
Europe at this price had the war con-
tinued and believed there would be
little objection to buying the wheat at
the highest figfiure now.
WANT BREAD PRICE CUT.
The price of bread, food administra-
tion figures show, has not increased in
proportion with the price of wheat,
but the government Is anxious to bring
bread down as the first and most vital
step in decreasing the cost of living.
For five years before the war the aver
age price of wheat was 81 cents with
!. the average 13-ounce loaf selling for
cents.
With wheat at 1926, bread should be
selling for IA cents to maintain the
proportion, but the average price OF
bread Is only 10 cents. Out of every
81 worth of bread the farmers before
the war received 25 cents. His share
Is now 46 cents. officials said.
