TIE CROPS ABROAD AND AT HOME.

THE HARvEsTs IN EUROPE GENERALLY DEFICIENT

A FAILURE.
The harvests in Europe are generally deficient.

Erpress we have more unfavOrabie reports as TO
wheat in England which in many localities Is not
expected t. equal the very poor weld OF last
year. and there are strong hints to danger OF
sprout1ng in the shock from the present occasional
showers In France storms have done much dam

cent NAV be relied upon. There are accounts OF IN

10 the interests of the purchasers. 1t may there
fore be very satisfactorily concluded that as sellers
we may take its representations pretty certain TO
be fulfilled We read further, touching the foreign
outlook. that the international Corn and Seed
League recently held in Vienna, with an attendance
of 800 persons formed an estimate that the Austro-
Hungarian Empire viii exhibit less power of
EXPORT than usual-say only to the extent OF
10000 qrs. in wheat and about, 100000 qrs'
in barley: whereas, in favorable season, Hungary
alone has exported three times that amount
while the important article of rye is deficient
that imports will be required for cOnsumptve wants.
AT home the wheat crop has been safely gathered
oats except in later districts have also been secured
and although the present weather is unfavorabe for
harvesting those still uncut, yet oats Is crop that
viii withstand good deal of without injury,
and probably there viii be little loss on this account
As 70 the Yield all accounts agree that 1t Is quite
equal TO an average, and many estimate II as above
an average crop in quantity while the quality Is ex-
cellent AT the same time there is an unfayorable
prospect for corn and it is probable that large por
ton of the crop viii be unsound. Fortunately our
farmers have now an opportunity TO avail themselves
of the situation. Europe demands our breadstuffs,
and we have sufficient to supply them and we can
in a measure fix the price The surplus Of Last years
corn crop will be needed 10 supply the deficiency
of the present crop and there viii not be this season
the dead weight of lowprced corn to drag down the
general market. At the same time the prospects of
the money market are assuring. The country has
made gain Of at least S5O,OOOOOO in the adverse
balance of imports over exports as compared with
last year. The West has marketed the wool crop
favorably and has general ease in financial matters
The cotton crop has improved in condition since
July. In the large producing States-Mississlppl,
Alabama Georgia, and south Carohna-the plant Is
reported as well formed and well fruited, and
although picking will be from two to three weeks
late vet the estimate far any can be formed at
this early date, points TO full average crop If not
more The fruit crop NAV be set down as a failure

Door quality apples in the East will be very short
but after last years profusOn this is inevitable The
recent rains which have been general throughout
the country, have much improved the pastures, and
there viii now be no scarcity of Fall feed This will
insure fair supply of dairy products and the entry
into Winter quarters of stock in fair condition On
the whole the outlook is cheerful, not only for us
west of the Atlantic but for those IN Europe who
stand in need OF our surplus.
