Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foreign Crops and Markets, Vol. 36: February 12, 1938 British imports of Russian wheat reached. 15, 200, 000 bus chels from, August through December 1937 against none in the corresponding period in 1936, according to Agricultural Attache C. C. Taylor at London. The receipts from the Soviet Union have made up for a large part of the shortage of Canadian wheat, imports of Which were 28, 400, 000 bushels smaller in the 1937 peried than a year earlier. Trade reports indicate a preference for the Russian product as a substitute for strong Canadian wheat. Imports from the United States, amounting to million bushels from August through December against practically none in 1936, replaced most of the remaining Canadian deficiency. Imports from Australia, India, and other sources during this period were about the same as in the corresponding months of 1936. Receipts from Argentina were unimportant in both periods. British wheat requirements during the early part of the season were slightly smaller than those of a year earlier. Total imports in the first 5 months of the current season, at bushels, were million bushels smaller than the comparable 1936-37 figures. British port stocks as of August 1, 1937, were 3 million bushels lower than a year earlier, and production in the United Kingdom in 1937 was_about the same as in 1936. There is no evidence that wheat reserves are being ao cumulated in the United Kingdom. Trade sources have indicated that early receipts from the United States this season were below quality require ments and were discriminated against as to prices. Later shipments, how ever, exhibited decidedly better quality. Sales of Australian wheat for future delivery at prices advantageous to buyers have been reported, the disturbed Oriental mark ets having made the British market somewhat more attractive than usual.
