WHEAT AND FLOUR IN CHINA

The official crop returns of the Na-
tional Agricultural Research Bureau
of Chinn for the current year ended
July 311, are estimated at over 636,
600,000 bushels. The Canadian wheat
erop this year, which was. considerab-
ly helow the average, amounted to on-
ly 118,000,000 bushels. The leading
xrain trade houses in Shanghai are of
the opinion tint there will be very Ilit-
