The EaglisA wheat Crop.
NV YoRk, August 29.-A careful re-
view of the English wheat crop by the
New York Times, based on the annual
report of James Sanderson to the Lon
don Times, comes to the following coD-
illusions: England has had three sue
cessive short crops prior to the present
year, which, though better, is still
seven per cent. below the general
average of thirty bushels per acre. Il
is nothing like the crop of 1868, when,
according to Sanderson, wheat aver
aged over sixty bushels against
under forty this year. The crop
OF 1868 was thirty per cent.
above the average. The total yield
this year is LOG, 0OO, 900 bushels. Eng
lands annual consumption is 100 ,OOU,-
QUO bushels, leaving deficiency Of TO-
OOO, 900, to be drawn chiefly from the
United States, which must supply at
least half this amount, as Russia has no
larger surplus this year than last.
Prices of wheat will undoubtedly be
lower this year than since 1870, though
the increased consumption always at
tending cheap bread in Europe may
later have a reflex influence on values;
so that market will be found at
munerative prices for all the wheat we
Gun spare seems equally certain.
