THE WHEAT CROP In ENGLAND AND THE
UNITED STATES,

Wheat is now dearer than it has been,
we believe, tor many years, and there
are, of conrse, those who say that it
must get dearer yet. The home harvest
is said TO be generally below the aver
age. We have had all through the
middle and northern parts OF the island
most tempestuous season; crops will
be exceptionally poor, and altogether
the outlook is gloomy.
Add to the position at home the fact
that the French harvest is probably but
barely equal to the requirements OF the
country, AT the very best view, and that
it is therefore not unlikely that France
may have 10 be a considerable bIyer
abroad; tnat the yield In Spain is, though
showing q surplus. not equal to eXpecta-
lions; that the Russian crop, though
good, is likely to be difficult 10 get at,
through the war, and that all supplies
from The valley OF the Danube are cut . d
through the same cause, and we have IA
serious conjunction OF causes all tending
to support the view that bread may be
dear. The most favorable estimate oi
the home wheat crop which we haveseen,
gives US barely twelve million quarters,
or hardly half what we require for food
and stock purposes; and Ii the harVests
| oil Europe are, with the exception Of that
