BUYERS RELYING ON AMERICAN suPPLIEs-BAD
ITALIAN AND RUSSIAN HARvEsTs
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.
LONDON July 2, 1879.
The Times, in its financial article this morn
ing, says:-"Evidence Of the preponderating in
f1uence of the foreign wheat supply over the
market in Mark lane was afforded on Tuesday
last by the fact that violent re-
currence of bad weather at this criti-
cal period scarcely affected prices at oil.
We note that buyers mainly rely on
American supplies, the reports from the Con.
tinent are far from being uniformly favorable.
Official reports of the Italian harvest say that
rain and inundations have rendered the pros
poets in the North deplOrable. Central Italy
promises at least moderately good harvest, the
Southwest and Sicily tolerable and the South
east and Sardinia excellent. On the whole the
anticipations are under the average. According
to Odessa newspapers the situation of the
crops in Southern Russia and the Caucasus
has been scarcely ever SO bad as at present.
What was left by drought and hail is now, it is
asserted, being annihiated by frightful swarms
of grasshoppers and corn beetles in the neigh
borhood Of Odessa and in the governments of
Bessarabia, Ekaterinosav Kherson, Poltava,
Tihis, Terek, BalSu, Stavropol and Kutais."
