The picture for which millions of Joe E.

World Wheat Trade
Reduced Sharply by
European War
Agriculture Department
Says Loan Program
Helps Prices
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department pre-
dicted today that world trade in
wheat this season would be third
less than last season because of the
European war.
1t said European countries were
expected to import only between
$50 900 900 and 10000 bushels.
while non-European countries were
expected to buy perhaps l5O,Oo0OO0
bushels. The United States is not
expected, the department said, to
export more than 25,000,000 bushels.
Despite poor foreign trade pros
poets, domestic wheat prices con-
tinued on an upward trend last
week. The grain advanced from
to 2 cents a bushel The depart
ment attributed the price movement
to the fact that large quantities
are being placed under Government
loans to growers, leaving only linn
tied supplies for mills and other
buyers.
Total supplies of wheat in the
United States on october l, not in
Guiding merchant mill stocks,
amounted to 734,889,OOO bushels
compared with CSC, 5O7 900 a year
ago
The department said latest figures
on world wheat production for 1910
still indicate a harvest of about 6
per cent below the 1889 crop with a
total of approximately 4.025 900 900
bushels. The principal reduction
occurred, it said, in the European
Danubian countries where produc-
ton was estimated to be third
less than in 1899.
Conditions for the 1941 American
wheat crop showed little change,
the department reported. Winter
wheat seeding has been practically
completed and early sown grain
was said to be mostly up to satisfac-
tory stands.
Corn markets also turned firmer
AS a result Of a good inquiry from
shippers and industrial buyers for
the limited supplies available in the
cash markets. Market receipts were
described as fairly large, totaling
more than 100000 bushels at prin-
cipal terminals, but a considerable
quantity was owned by the Govern
ment or consigned for storage under
Government loans.
At Chicago December wheat closed
Saturday at 84l2 to 842s cents a
bushel, compared with Fridays
close of 86l2 to 3d.. December
corn closed at Sos to COS cents,
compared with a previous close of
623s to 624.
