Arrivals of wheat at Kansas City,
Omaha. St. Joseph and Wichita, the
four principal grain markets in the
tenth district, July 1 to November
30, inclusive, aggregated 82, 349, 150
bushels. This total compares with
104.025,350 bushels arriving at the
same markets in the corresponding
five months last year. This year's
decrease of 21,676,200 bushels, or
20. S per cent, is largely attributed
to freight car shortage and unsatis
factory market conditions. While it
is apparent that the wheat harvested
in the district in 1922 was about 7.2
per cent less than the crop of 1921,
there was a carry-over of old wheat
last July which would indicate that
the market supply during the present
year has been approximately the
same but little below that of last
year. Some evidences of improve
ment in the car supply were noted j
during the latter part of November
and the total receipts of wheat at
the four markets during the month
were 12,124,650 bushels. This total
showed about the usual seasonal de

els below October receipts, but it
