Tho Now York Shipping list says that until
| within fow yonrH we Wore accustomed to ship
more -four to Europe than wheAt, the freight on
tho former being relatively cheap But all this
is now reversod, tho proportion Of wheat having
greatly increased. whlo -four haH largely de-
|teroascd. This ls explained by the 'retreat Of
/ wheat cultivation Westward, while consumption
! has rapidly increased in tho Eastern States the
reduction In tho cost Of handling grim by tho
elevator process las also given wheat the ndyan-
tago; while the English bnyor giyes wheat the
prefofAnce, for tho reason that II furnishes bnsl
meas for English millera, and contributes to tho
supply Of feed stuffs.
Tho Boston Shipping list says {: % In Iowa
tho winter wheat crop. il tho majority Of our
exchanges aro to bo believed, Ia entirely do
whoat Is in hardy condition, and is now Look
ing as promlalng nB nfter ordinary wintors, In
Illinois the winter wheat Is only slightly i'm
paired, In Missouri the adyices Indicate most
capriciona state ct affairs. Although, In gen-
cral, the wheat loolss thrifty and tho prospects
are encouraging there are exceptional instances
in unexpected quartors where 1t has boen Co.
