A a result, a prelim inary meet ing on development of a new wheat pact held in London last May achieved no concrete re sults. Another one is scheduled for the Fall By that time, the negotiators will have.a clearer idea of the wheat supply. There's a feel- ing in Ottawa that by then it may be harder than ever to persuade the importers to agree to any boost in price For, conditions in Canada point to the heaviest wheat crap in history.
