The Call for Wheat.

England's demand for foreign wheat

recognized. must he very heavy; but
just how heavy it would he las only
come clear since the continued storms
In that country have shown the hone
lessness of dependence on the home
crop An estimate IL published
in our cable dispatches, quoted
from the Mark Lane Express, which
represents that England's need this
year will be thirty million bushels in
excess of her NEED in ordinary years
that Is to say, that beyond what We
ordinarily supply, we shall probably
be called upon this year for thirty mil
lion bushels. Hence the credit of
SIS QUO, 000-opened here the other
day on account % this enormous food
supply, is but a first step in the trans.
action. Sums of similar dimensions
will be mentioned from time to time
in the same connection. and the re.
quirement that Europe is now under
obligations to buy OF us in one year
enough of food to feed at least half the
people, and 10 pay us in gold, will
make tremendous drain of the pre-
cious metal in our favor; and if Eu-
