With the occupation of practically the ' whole of Western Europe by Germany, and the entl".tn('e of Italy into the war. the normal outlets for (ctanaclian and other wheat have been seriously 1-urlailecl, but it is authoritat- ively believed that. the reduction in shipments during the present crop year will not be so great as was anticipated. During the first eight month:; of the war. with the blockade in operation, the market volume was maintain- ed at an equal level with that of the previous season. The movement during` the balance of the season. lmwever, is expected to reflect the full impact of war conditions. Canadian sup- plies must. be held in the first instance for the use of Great Britain. and shipments have been niaintltined in steady volumeas requir- ell, the total lroin August, 1939 to June. 1940, being 137 million bushels against 112 million' during the same periocl last season.
