- From Argentina and Southwest-

serious condition of new wheat—
the result partly of too much mois-
ture south of the equator and too
little north of It. Crops which had
been counted upon to swell war-
time surpluses in the part of the
world from which Europe buys much
of Its breadstufls are deteriorating
and grain experts forecast slocks
of old wheat would have to be
drawn upon heavily in 1940 For-
tunately, they said, these reserves
appear to be ample.
Large buying orders have been
pouring Into the Chicago grain mar-
ket for almost a fortnight. The
other leading western hemisphere
market-at Winnipeg and Buenos
Aires—also have been deluged with
purchases These are the princi-
pal world markets in operation in-
asmuch as the war closed those In
