Grain Men Unexcited
By Rumors Of Wheat
Surplus Deals
Await More Concrete
Evidence Of Proposed
Barter Moves
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Although the
grain trade is honeycombed with re-
ports of negotiations to find new
outlets for the u. S. wheat sur
plus in such foreign countries as
Germany and Brazil wheat dealers
today exhibited little, if any, ex-
c1tement over such possibilities.
Germany was prominently smen-
toned as being on one end of bar
ter arrangement whereby some
American wheat might find it's way
to Hamburg in exchange for Ger
man manufactured goods. However,
the trade could not confirm these
rumors and no concrete evidence ap-
peared that actual negotiations were
under way. Germany imported L.
5000 bushels Of U. S. wheat last
year, less than per cent of the
total domestic exports. In 1887 the
Reich took about 10000 bushels.
Brazil became involved in the
rumors following conferences be-
tween her foreign minister and off,
clals in Washington. Brazil i'm
ports approximately 10000 900 BUSH
els annually, mostly from Argentina,
and that country now has huge
surplus for sale. Although tempo
rary embargo on Argentine wheat
has been put in force by Brazil, trad
ers said this is in line with efforts
to stimulate production Argentina
froWned on an effort to sell some
American wheat to Brazil last year
Brazilian mills have been ordered
TO use a certain amount of home
grown wheat. Imports in the past
have represented about IS to 80
per cent of total requirements. Small
quantities of American and Cana
dian wheat and flour usually are
brought in, mostly into Northern
markets.
