Considering existing tariffs against imparted wlicat, milling quotas and other re- strictive measures in effect in con- tinental Europcan countries as well as the availability of supplies ol do- niestlc wheat in importing coun- tries, thc international movement of wheat during the past four and one- half months has been an ~ncourag- ing factor in the wheat situation.
