between $50, 900 and 200, 900 tons and
Baltic London brokers' expect Russia to
buy almost as large a quantity again.
LondOa brokers say they have reports
of long bread queues and a painful
shortage of food in Russia, which be.
fore the war was one Of the worlds
largest exporters of grain. Russia has
not bought such supplies Of wheat since
