IN WHEAT STOCKS
Increase, However, 70 Less
Than Margin Established
BY 1892 Crop

Ottawa, April l3.-(R-stocks Of
wheat in Canada on March 81 are
estimated In . crop report issued
wednesday BY the Dominion bureau
Of statistics at 3l2,Slo,l4 bushels q
compared with 246,l50,673 1t the end
Of March, 1892. an increase Of 66.-
668.61l bushels.
The report explains the wheat es-
innate Is based on returns from ele-
vators. flour mills, railway compa-
MES and crop correspondents. The
report continues:
Total stocks In various positions
on March 81, 1888. are shown q fol-
lows, with corresponding figures for
1882 In brackets: In elevators. afloat
and In flour mills, 1850 40 BUSH

BY rail, 9,742,o74 bushels (0,377, 500 ;
In farmers' hands, 00,O37 900 (6l $780,
OOO)."
The increase in wheat stocks as
compared with q year ago Is consid-
erably less than the increase in the
crop last year over the year before.
In this connection the report says:
The. total stocks Of Canadian
grain In Canada on March 81 show
an increase Of over 20 per cent COM
pared with those held at the same
date last year. The stocks Of wheat
and oats show the greatest increase.
but In each case the increase over

In the crop production Of 1882 COM
pared with 1881. This Is Q reflection
Of higher domestic use and export In
the present crop year. The stocks
Of barley and flaxseed are very
slightly higher than 1882 figures.
while stocks Of rye on hand are the
lowest since 1920.
