Mr.. ursell estimated that not more
than 100000 bushels of Canadian
wheat shipped to the United States
will be mil1ed there. The remainder,
he predicted, will be exported through
New York. Boston and other Atlantic
ports. Ordinarily, he said. American
millers use about 100000 bushels of
Canadian wheat, but because of the
poor quality of this years crop in the
United States the figure has more
than doubled. The average pre-war
consumption of Canadian wheat in the
United States, he explained, was about
100000 bushels.
