The Markets--roreign Crops, &c.

The Pacific brings news that the Bread ques-
tion in France is assuming very serious as
| pect. Bread in Paris nows costs one franc Q9
cents) the four pound loaf. and in other districts
of France the price Is much higher. Inc har-
vest, it is now conceded, turns out indifferently
and the deficiency in Wheat and Rye, is con-
siderable, while Oats and Barley show a salts
factory yield Official reports state the defcien-
CIV at twenty millions of bushels, and as Great
Britain has no grain to spare, the French buy
ers ar looking to the United States to supply
their wants. 1t is stated in New York papers
that Paris banking house has authorized credit
to the extent of three millions Of dollars, for the
purchase of breadstuffs in this country, and the
London Mercantile Gazette of Sept 18TH saws:
/ "All eyes are now directed to America
Tcetce French buyers rent out by last eeks steam
er, and large orders, hare gone from England for
breadstnfs so thae shall soon kno,c rhcther the
boasting accounts Of their crops be substantial
tied"
The London Economist talks i'm much the
same strain. 1t is no longer doubtful. indeed,
that Europe will need all the breadstuffs that
America can spare. this year, and that prices for
Wheat, Rye and Barley bid fair to rule high
throughout Fall and Winter. 1t is fortunate
for our Wisconsin farmers that they have hand
some surplus to dispose of at the remunerating
rates now offered.-Ma Sent.
From the London Economist
Win regard 10 the crop OF the present year,
whatever may have been anticipated at one time
it is now we fear fully admitted on all hands, and
with to much truth, to fall short of that of last
year. and in some districts very considerably
short. On the whole, even taking into account
/ the most favored districts il is no longer doubt
ed that the result of the harvest is below an av-
erage. In France, the wheat crop is more def
cient than it is in this country, and the consump-
/ ton mas relatively increased as much of late

the French arc at this time importers of wheat,
and will continue to be all the year. The
countries bordering on the Mediterranean have
for many years past derived large supplies from
the Russian ports in the Black Sea. They de-
pended upon that source long before it was re-
sorted to by England and France. This supply
has been cut off for great part of last year, and
is likely to be for some time to come. Those
countries are therefore likely to be importers
from the west, rather than exporters. The crops
in the South of Russia, if under present crcum-
stances, they can exert any influence at all, are
extremely detective, especially of rye and oats.
In Austria, n Government return just published
states that the grain crops are average, and
no apprehension is entertained of deficiency In
Northern Germany, the crops of all kinds are less
or more deficient, and they arc already import
ing grain both from neighboring countries in Eu-
rope and from the United States. In Belgium
the wheat crop is represented as being good, but
the rye crop, which constitutes the chief food of
the population, is very short Spain is the only
country i'll Europe which seems to have any ex-
cess OF grain available for expectation, the great
est portion of which will be taken by France and
the Mediterranean States.
The Milwaukee Sentinel comments on the
above as follows:
1t is this intelligence and the receipt of large
orders from abroad that have impaired such &C.
