EEfffll TO
EXPORT LESS
South American Wheat not
To be Great Factor
In Coming Year
Argentine competition, in world
wheat markets may be less act
Ire during coming months than
earlier ad t Ices Indicated, since
the second official , estimate of
the season's supplies Is sharply
lower than earlier lorecasta, ae
cordlKK to the Grain , Market
News Service, et the. United States
Bureaa ot agricultural econom
ics. The Argentine wheat crop Is
now officially estimated at Z39
000,000 bushels, as against an
earlier forecast ot 271.000.000
bushels, a redaction of 32.009,-
000 bushels. The new estimate of
the harvest - however, is . still
aronnd 7S.009.000 bushels above
the small , crop of a year ago
which was finally plaeed at 1S,
000,000 bushel. During the 40
year period for which crop, sta
tistics are available, the outturn
for the current year, if present
estimates are realized, will have
been exceeded only in the years
1923-1024. 1927-1928. and 1928
1929, when the record crop of
349,000.000 bushels -was har
vested. Has Exceeded
United States
The chief interest In ; Argen
tine supplies however, lies in the
Quantity of wheat; which may be
available for export at grain,
eince annual flour experts have
not yet exceeded the equivalent
of 9,000,000 bushels of grain.
The quantity of wheat available
for export and carryover for the
current year, is now placed at
145,0 00,0 00 bushels, as com
pared with 80.000.000 bushels
exported and, carried over during
the last crop year.
As an exporter of wheat, the
Argentine ias in recent years
surpassed the United States, and
has been the most formidable
competitor of Canada, not only
because of increase in , the vol
ume of exports, but also because
of improvement In quality, as a
result of the more extensive seed
ing of -pedigreed wheat which
has found Increasing favor among
European millers. 1
The carryover of old . crop
grain into the current year was
of only moderate valnme, being
placed at 11.000,000 bushels, as
against 18,000,000 bushels a
year ago. and 13,000,000 T shels
two years back. The total supply
for the current year, based on
the new estimates ot production
and carryover, amounts to 255,
000,000 bushels, against 181,
090.000 bushels a year ago, and
domestic requirements for the
season, including milling for the
home consumption, seeding and
feed loss, and waste. Is. placed at
around 90.000,000 bushels.

RULE Ifl PALESTINE
JERUSALEM, Feb. 20. (AP)
The Arab newspaper Al Hayat
charged today that the practice ot
young girls being sold Into vir
tual slavery is in -operation in
Palestine.
This, says the Jewish Tele
graphic agency, follows upon the
sensational allegation made in
Arab circles last December that
rout v vi -4
tHbe of Traasjordania. sojourn-
lng near uetsan in ine joroaa
ley. had been sold by their fathers
to masters and "has bands' in a
number of towns.
Al Hayat's story Is la the form
of an open letter to the high com
missioner from Hassan Sidky el
Da J an I. who charges that it is not
unusual for Arab girls of 1 years
of age and even under to be "rent
ed" for as long as 25 years at the
rate of 35 a year.
