THE ENGLISH WHEAT suPpLY.
Tho London Times hns the following from
Mr.. Thomas Q. Scott. tho great atatisticiau: ~
would not bo eafo to predict tho OWLS that ma,
got arise from continuance Of tho preuon
unpropitious weather, but it is not difficult Il
ostimate tho injury tint hns already been nua
tanned in our wheat crop. Altogether it j
probable that not more than ono:half the in

boon planted, and 20 much OF it in bad condition
that great deal Of seod burst pronaturoly
and died underground; much that Germinato
aud came up has been doyolrea =: BY nlngs, an
from wet rot md looking wan and sicaly
| When ndded to these circumstance is tho fac
that tho seed Gown last autumn waB probabl
inferior to any TINT was oyoz beforo put into til
ground, it aooms all but impossible that n
Should obtain, evon with tho most favorabl
wcathor, from tho present timo to harvest, NOR
than two-thirds Of an average wheat crop. Thi
may not cause dear bread to the consumer be
cause tho worlds surplus, and not our hotn
produce, now regulates Hupplios and prices. bll
I question it so bad n prospect as regards hi
wheat crop was evcr before tho home grove,
ninco improved or modern farming; was prat
tisctl. This, however, ia only halt tho losu til
farmor will auatain, for the Legitimate wheat
