California advices are Of the same
character heretofore reported. OF one
thing we are convinced, AMI that is
that State will turn out a larger surplu.
than generally claimed. This is based
on the increased acreage in sections
where the outlook is all that can be de
sired, and also fr M former experience
tnat the cry is always worse in bad
season than the out-turn proved.
Eastern and Canadian advicc> report
that the outlook is Of the most cncour

that everything goes to inspire the be.

The New York Produce Exchange
Weekly says that during thu ten years
from 1864 to 1873. inclusive of the
average exports Of wheat in those years
from Russia of ~ 1925 .456 bush. Great
Britain took an average import Of about
twenty million bushels, and the con,i-
nent an average Of twenty-nine million
bushels. /, will DO observed that
France usually imports through AIarseil.
lies from April to August inclusive
from eight to ten million bushels of
wheat; and Antwerp also several million
bushels, which has Usually been obtained
from the regions of ne Black and Azov
seas. Furthermore, Italy has usually
imported considerable wheat from the~,
sources of supply. The exports Of In
dian corn from South Russia port Of
Odessa have been annually from two to
four million bushels, and in 1877 it had
been expected, with a peace :ooting.
that. thas large exports Of Maize would
have been made from the port of Odessa
a. well as from tho Danube.
The war already commenced will cut
off from Western Europe these sources
Of supply. excepting what shall reach
Baltic ports. The shipments or whoa,
from British East India arc not expected
TO be larger. If as large, as III 1915.

Of rye from Russia shall be very much
diminished from the $4,000 900 to the
10000. 900 bushels exported in 1874 and
1875 respectively. it cannot but affect
largely the value Of rye.

success; for though, as David Copperiield has
told us, some happy talent and some fortunste

For the first round there is perhaps no better
substitute than perseverxnce-perseve that
