GRAIN FAMINE
SERIOUS SHORTAGE IN FRANCE. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. Received 9, 9.55 p.m. London, May 9. Reuter's Paris correspondent reports that the present stock of wheat is 44,000,000 kilogrammes, instead of the normal several hundred millions. The price of bread is rising, and is causing apprehension. Large orders for grain have been placed in Cann hj, the Argentine and Australia. The Government has decided that it cannot suspend the tariff of seven france per hundred kilogrammes, although it may prolong for two or three months the period wherein wheat may be imported free, a condition equivalent to the weight exported from France.
