Reuters financial Editor LONDON. Dec. 18-(Reuters)- Tile new Australian wheat con- tracis with Britain and India. a11- nounccd in Melbourne today. show that the prices are much higher than the price Canada charges Britain under the long-term An- glo-Canarliaii Whllmt agreement. but below llle price of United States and Argentine wheat. The price of Australian wheat to Britain equals $2.72 a bushel and to India $2.96 a bushel. For comparison Olnada is el-iargins Britain $1.55 e. bushel this season and w a bushel next season. Ani- erlcan when. (or Canadian wheat to countries other them Britain» sells for more than $3 n. bushel and Argentine. recently charged Brazil almost $6 a bushel. Canada, which expects long-term advantages to compensate for under-charging Britain for wheat. was resigned to the prospect that Australia would set between $2.25 and $2.87 a bushel. The Australian price 1s within those limits, though nearer the higher figure. '

SEEK TO EXPLAIN

OTTAWA. Dec. lfl-KCP) - A Government official said tonight the s2fll-a-bushel price being ob- taincd by Australia from Britain on a new wheat contract does not mean as big an increase over Canada's current $1.55 price from Britain as it would appear.

Ha said the direct rekirn to the Australian farmer would not be much greater than that received by the Canadian farmer. because of the way Australia handles its wheat payments.

The Australian producer, it was explained. gets 80 cents a bushel plus half the remainder of the selling price. On $2.73, that would work out to a total of $1.78 for the farmer directly.

However, the remainder of the price is used to subsidize supplies going into agricultural production, thus benefittlrlg the farmer indi- rectly.
