WHEAT IN STORAGE
Amount nj Rural Mills and EleVa

Associated Press DiSpatch.l
Washington, March 17.-Stocks
of wheat in country mills and Gle
vators March 1 were estimated at
~, $4,000 bushels by the United
States department of agriculture.
This Is the smallest quantity in the
record of reports made to the de-
partment for that date during the
past ten years, with the exception
of March l, 1918, when the abnor
mally low stocks of 66,000,000 lush
els followed the small wheat crop of
1917.
Exports OF wheat from the 1921
crop have been heavy and country
mills and elevators possess only 9
per cent of that crop. This is the
smallest percentage for these
stocks in the same month in ten
years. The highest record is 16
per cent.
Average wheat stocks in country
mills and elevators March l during
the past FIVE years were about 81
10000 bushels. Stocks this year
were 20 per cent less than the five
year average. Wheat stocks of this
class were as much as $4,000, 900
bushels in 1916 or 112 per cent
more than the 1922 figure.
