WORLD WHEAT TALKS
AGREEMENT MAY YET BE REACHED (Rec. 8 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Last-minute negotiations now in progress may save the international wheat agreement. A week ago, it was authoritatively forecast that a complete breakdown in the negotiations would be announced within a few days. To-day. delegates said that the prospects of writing a new agreement had improved. However, it is clear that there is still no great optimism that importers and exporters will be able to see eye-to-eye on prices, the principal barrier to agreement. Talks between working parties representing the buyers and sellers were to have been broken off last Monday, but on instructions from the highest level on both sides, they have been continued in the hope that something can be worked out.
