Brussels, Nov. 4.
Provided present restrictions are maintained, the Reich has sufficient wheat and flour stocks to last two years, it is reported from Berlin economic sources, Stocks of sugar are sufficient and it is furthermore expected that the production of beetroot especially in Bohemia and Moravia will be pleni tiful this year. Existing stocks of Potatoes will also meet requirements for the next two years, although this year's harvest has been a poor one. No restrictions are being considered for the time being in the consumption of potatoes and vegetables.
Meat supplies are satisfactory but may become insufficient in the near future because cattle in Germany is not being properly cared for as a result of the mobilization. It is hoped that Russia will be able to afford assistance in that respect. Supplies of milk are far below requirements, particularly in the large centres.
The general lack of fats. and oils is being most direly felt as present supplies do not reach one fifth of the normal demand.—Havas.
