FRENCH WHEAT CROP

Frances wheat crop, including sup
plies available from French coun-
tries, is estimated to be more than
sufficient to supply next years re-
quirements. According to figures re-
ceived by the Bankers Trust Com
pany for its French information
service, the actual yield of Frances
wheat acreage this year is 100000
quintals approximately 29O,O0O,OOO
bushels). In addition 100000 quin-
tails (about 14,700,000 bushels) are
available from French colonies. The
total wheat requirements of France
are about SO,OOO,OOO quintals trough
ly 293,0O0,000 bushels) annually, so
that the yield this year indicates that
France will not be required to import
wheat next year.
