correspondent, writing from vienna,
expresses the opinion that Russia cannot
count OF, more than half a crop and the
same is true of much of Hungary and
Austria. but in a country like Russia,
covering an area sd Immense, we think |
it too early to form q correct Judgment
of the probable result. 1t is very evil
dent that old wheat on the continent has
been consumed and fed out to cattle and
sheep to a far greater extent than IS
gene .allv believed, hence they will have
little, If any, surplus the coming year.
The crops in Germany and Italy have
not been injured to any very great ex-
tent. but beth hold moderate supplies OF
/ old wheat. The floods in England since
our last have been various, submerglng
large areas in highly cultivated agricul-
tnral districts, and much alarm has been
created for the growing wheat crop, but
should the rains not continue beyond the
present week. they may still secure
fair crop. We notice their stocks OF
wheat at their principal markets are Gerry
liqht, with the exception OF Liverpool
where they hold about 100000 qrs.,
chiefly white wheat from the Pacific
coast. So much depends upon the
: weather in Great Britain the ensuing
! three weeks, that every atmospheric
! change will be watched with great So
). licitude. The crop of winter wheat IN
all parts of the world is beloU an Average
:, with the slight exception OF Oregon
! but she doesn't promise any considera'
. BILE increase in her exports, owing to the
n rapid increase in her population. Ou'
~ present situation is very interesting
- and important one, both in csmmercia
and financial point of view; should WI
