Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wheat Situation, Including Rye: September 23, 1938 Exports from.the southern part of Sov1et Russia this season have been heavier than in any year since 1951, amounting to about 24 million bushels for the July l-september 17 period. This heavy movement is probably accounted for by a sizable carry-over of old crop wheat, the good harvest in the southern export regions, the early maturing of this year's crop, and by the large proportion of combines used in harvesting the wheat cr0p in the South, which tends to increase the quantity of threshed grain available immediatelv after harvest. It seems reasonable to expect a slackening of exports as the season progresses, especially since prospects this year are estimated to be 25 to 50 percent below that of last year's good crop. Total United States wheat supplies are now estimated at million bushels, consisting of a carry - over of 154 million bushels of old wheat, and a crop of 940 million bushelsa Utilization may amount to about 700 nnllion bushels, which would leave about 595 million bushels for export and carry-over. If about 100 million bushels are exported, carry-over stocks on July 1, 1959 would be expected to total about 295 million bushels, or, without insurance stocks about 265 million bushels. This compares with 525 million bushels, the average for the 1950-54 period, when stocks reached record size.
