The Grain Trade.

The Baltimore. San of the 10Th says: .'It
is estimated that six countries in Europe
will this year be compelled to buy three
hundred million bushels of wheat and that
France and England will need three fourths
of this quantity, while frances share alone
will cost her one million OF francs, or fifth
of the famous ransom. This means pros
perity for the American people,
News from Russia is discouraging as to
the grain crop there. Excessive rain in
some parts of the Empire, and excessive
sultriness and drouth in other parts have OPP
Grated to greatly diminish the product. And
now comes the locusts, which in the South
ern part are swarming all over the country
and destroying everything before them
The people have given up their crops in
despair and the prospect is for great depri-
walton and suffering.
