WORLD FACES
WHEAT DEARTH
Commerce Department Says
That Shortage Win Be Fell
by End OF Month.

New York-The world faces a short.
age Of wheat which will begin to be
felt at the end OF this month.
Secretary OF Commerce Hooyer's
foodstuffs division made oublic a state
ment to this effect, declaring that the
present situation indicates that world
wheat stocks will be lower than for
several years by July /, as both Ar
gentina and Australia have consider.
ably less than last year, the United
States ~carry-over will be light and only
Canada has considerable stocks on
hand.
THE upward trend of European con.
sumption indicates a larger demand
than last year, whereas prospects are
for a smaller crop, the report says.
Until next February the International
trade will be dependent for supplies
OF the surplus of North America and
a limited quantity from India. With
Russia out OF the export trade, North
American wheat is in a relatively
strong position.
"The world wheat situation has been
going through very much the same ad
Justment during the past five years as
other agricultural products, especially
wool and cotton"
