Under these circumstances, it must result that
the agricultural and shipping interests OF the

a necessary consequence, all other interests Will

seuuently continued to fall until it touched 49,
SO, in the early part of the summer. The ex-
perience then furnished has operated to chech
speculation this year, and prices are now looked
upon as very high here and in England. They
are high: that, higher than of late, but are
lotc when we reflect on circumstances In for
mer years. In the fit place, We have to consid-
err the actual state of affairs in England. 1t is
a well-ascertaned fact, that Europe can spare
nothing this year under any circumstances for
English consumption. We have, then, to deal
with the wants of England. To ascertain these,
we must look over official returns to see what
she consumed last year, and where she got it.
Now we have before us parliamentary tables
showing the import and consumption down to
September 5, lS46, and also the quantity in bond
September 5, 1915. With these data, we con-
struet the following table:
English supply Of Foreign ,oReat and Fl0u.
- gear ending Sepsember 1916.

| There is now, comparatively, nothing in ware
house. We observe that there was more fiou
taken out of bond than was imported, and les:
wheat; showing the quantity of wheat fouret
in bond and entered for consumption as -four
Now, then, we have the fact that, in addition
to the harvest of 1915, England has consumes
/ Of foreign flour and wheat quantity equal t.
q, ,25S bushels of wheat, or equal to one
fifth of the crop of the Uuited States! She ha'
in bond, September 5, lSA5, aquantity equal t.
4,1l6,3S6 bushels of wheat, which she has con
sumed in addition to our import of 100000
bushels. The crop of the present year is sal
to be equal to the last; admit that it is: she
still import % 100000 beyond her production
Whence is she to get it? Notwithstanding he
wants and the advance in her prices, they ar
lower than in Europe. But Lodon authorities
while admitting the wheat crop to be an aver
age, agree that the coarser grains are short il
quantity. The London Times states that if tn
deficit last year was as the food of one million
that of this year will be at least that of two mil
lions, and this is probably not far from the truth
although above we have assumed that she vii
grow as much this year as last. Now, as
matter of record, let us take table of price

The advance Is Is since the 10th OF August:
The experience Of last year showed that prices
fell as the new crop game into market, and that
imports accumulated in bond down to May,when
they amounted to l,339,955 quarters of wheat,
and l,ll9,427 cwt. of -four. The exhaustion
of English wheat then caused PRICES to rise, re-
leasing all those stocks which have since been
consumed. This year, imports can be derived
only from the United States: and as the con-
SUMPTION of the new English crop commenced
four weeks earlier this year than last, it must
be exhausted at least as early. Instead, there
fore, of having large quantity In bond in the
spring, ready to turn into consumption, there
will be no supplies to meet the exhaustion of
English food but the hand to mouth imports
from the United States, after the navigation
opens in the spring. Under these circunsstan-
ces are prices too hight Let us compare them
with former years of scarcity, whenEurope sup
piled English demands; that is, the SIX years
ending with 1912.

WAR is not tho hoy duy thing wo soc now and

look for her reality elsewhere; and if you would
conceive what it really is, take account like
tho following writton by clergyman the spot,
of scenes he Witnessed after the battle of Soldin:
AT ono O'clock" says he, the cannonading

learn to whose advantage the battle had turned out.
Town rds evening sevon hundred Of tho Russian
fugtives came to Soldn, pisiful sight indeed;
some holding up their hands cursing and swearing;
others praying aud praising the King Of Prussia
without hats. without clothes; on foot.
others two horse, with :heir hoads and arms
tod up; some dragging along by the strrups, and
others by the horses tails.
'When the battle decided and victory
shouted for tina Prussian army. vontured To the
place whore the cannonading was. After walking
some way, Cossack'S horse came running full
speed towards me. | mounted him, and on my
way for sevon miles and half on this side tho

on the ground sadly cut in pieces. Tho farther

sight! Mon. woman and children, Russians and
Prussians, carriages and horses, oxen, Ghosts and
