The latter constitutes the effective working stock, because wheat on the farms is not readily usable and can only be threshed relatively slowly, especially in bad weather. Stocks of maize, barley and other cereals in the mills and port warehouses amount only to a few thousand tons and, as regards imported cereal feeding-stuffs, we are living entirely from hand to mouth.
