A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" Members of the Board of Grain Super-' j visors. Imperial wheat purcha.sing committee, millers' committee, grain I growers and Motitve«l Harbor Com- , mission on Thur.'day continued their ' discussion of the supply of Canadian , wheat available for export and allied ' subjects. It is understood that an i estimate submitted to the conference 'â-  indicated that the total (|uantity of 1 wheat in store in Canada at the pre- Isent time was about 80,000,000 bushels. j Of that <|uantity .•?0,0OO,00« bushels, it ; was slated, would be required for I .seeding this year and a like amount ^ for domeslii- consumption, leaving somewhere in the neighborhood of 20,- 1 000,000 bushels immediately avail- 1 able for export. I Among the other sulijects consid- ered was the (luestioti of adopting a . 'standard grade of flour to be milled j in Canada. It is staled that there is | n likelihood that such a giiifle will be 1 agreed upon. It would be of a quality , midway between the present higher' patents and the existing lower grades. Whether the milling wotibl be confined j to this standard grade in the United, I States or whether the millers would be, 'able to continue the production of the ] higher patents with the slanilard as a! basis for the (ixing of profits has not vet been detei'mined. llutterâ€" Creaniery. snlkls. per lb, 12i to Ur: iirlntH. per lb. 43 to Uiv: Ualr.v. licr lb.

A despatch from Washington says: The food situation in Europe is re- garded here as so critical that the fooii. admini.stration is planning to release an ad<litional 90,0()0,UOO bushels of wheat, despite the fad that the nor- mal export surplus had been shipped by the middle of December. The American people will be asked to save to make up the dtfic;<!ncy. The demand I'roni the allies is so in- sistent that the food administration has decided to take a chance on a shortage in the Spring to meet in part their needs. If consumption is not reduced officials see a possible short- age of flour in the United States in May before the new wheat crop comes in in .June.
