June 31 OPh-Federal sj farm officials Indicated today they would await the outcome of a meet ing of the International Wheat Con ference advisory committee In Lon don next month before deciding whether to continue the export sub sidy on wheat during the next mar keting season. The committee will consider pro posals to divide the world wheat markets among various exporting nations. Officials explained an Interna tional agreement dividing markets equitably would make lt possible for competing nations to abandon such trade practices as payment of boun ties to encourage exports. The United States employed a subsidy program during the current marketing season to place about 113.000,000 bushels of grain In for eign markets. The program cost ap proximately 823.500.000. One of the factors requiring tha use of a subsidy, officials said, was that wheat prices averaged 6c a bushel higher than world prices. Ordinarily they are lower. A reason, for the difference was the govern ment's loan program. Officials said should no agree ment be reached at the London meeting the United States would either hsve to continue the export subsidy or be content to sell far less than Its "fair" share of world markets.
