made any such denial.

.255 Million Bushels
OF Wheat for Export
Nears Se|Iout Stage
BY the Associoted Press

A temporarily sold-out" sign
will be put up soon over American
bargain-counter wheat in the
world market.
Last August the Government
placed 255 million bushels of wheat
on sale for export at prices which
are averaging about 10 cents a
bushel below those paid by domes-
tic buyers. Farmers have been
getting around 1920.
The difference between what the
farmer gets and what foreign
countries pay is made up by the
United States Treasury.
All but is million bushels had
been sold by May 20, and the
rest is expected to be gone by
the end of the month.
The bargain counter will be re-
opened August / with another 225
million bushels at correspondingly
low prices.
The bulk of the American
wheat has gone to Germany
Greece. India, Japan, Italy, the
Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil and
the United Kingdom.
This country is selling consider
able wheat for export at the
higher domestic market price
that is, without benefit to buyers
of the agreement price. Some
countries need more than they
are entitled to at the cut rate
price. Sales of such wheat this
season may exceed 800 million
bushels.
The agreement will expire at
the end of the 1953-crop market
ing year, unless extended by the
participating countries.
The agreement has come under
sharp criticism in Congress be-

ment. For its four-year life. the
