COLOMBIA AS WHEAT CENTER.

The imports OF wheat and wheat flour at the port
Of Caragena, Colombia have been steadily increasing
IN recent years In 1918 the value of the wheat flour
imported from the United States $780, 1t rose to
&soo63o in 1919 and $6Io,Ior in 1920. The flour is
brought to Cartagena packed in 2s-pound bags five of
which usually placed in a strong burap bag. 1t
is also brought in ninetyeight bags in
closed in burlap. The import duty wheat -four is
$oo8 per kilo (22o46 pounds). There are additional
surtaxes of per cent and S per cent. The duty
wheat is $oo3 per kio, with additional surtaxes of
and per cent -.
American -four is sold in packages of twenty-five
pounds at So retail The native -four is sold at SIS
for I25 pounds wholesale. Colombian wheat, which
from the plains around Bogota, is good
variety of wheat, but It is dark in color Because of
the lack of transportation it is very expensive to
bring this wheat to the coast. This cost makes it
practically impossible for the native wheat conf
pete with the imported American product.
Flour is used principally for the making of bread.
There perhaps ten bakeries in Cartagcna and
each village of any importance in the department
has or small bakeries The use of the tor
ta, cornmeal cake, while at present very general,
especially among the poorer people, is giving way to
a certain extent to the bread made from wheat -four
The making Of biscuits is limited at present that
it does not materially affect the quantity of -four
used Another important of -four is for maca-
the quantity of -four CONSUMED. With the increase
of the foreign population, especially American and
British there will be greater demand for flour.

Situation in Oil Industry.

OR the first six months of 1921 crude oil production
i in the United States, according to figures of the
United States Geological Survey, amounted to 236675ooo
barrels annual rate in of 473oooooo barrels
compared with the production of barrels during
the first half Of Imports of oil Increased more than
27oooooo barrss while exports increased $4,000 barrels
and consumption increased I2sooooo barrels the first
six months of the preceding year During the first half Of
1921 more than 100000 barrels of oil were added to
stocks in storage while in the corresponding period of I9ao
$4,000 barrels withdrawn from storage. The
sumption of oil in the first six months of 1910 a47
$4,000 barrels while for the first six months of 1921
sumption was eso7eIoo barrels. 1t will be from
these figures if there had been oil imported into the
United States in the first six months of the current
production for that period would have been about
barrels less than consumption. ...s
At the end of June pipeline and tank farm stocks,
plus stocks of Mexican petroleum held in the United States
amounted record figure of IoIoooooo barrels,
quantity sufficient consumption at the current rate
for days. However, the first decrease in production of
petroleum since January was reported for june As this
decrease in production continued through July and there
but small imports of oil from Mexico in that MONTH
