The WHEAT CROP AND THE MARKET FOR IT,
The London Saturday Reric1c, which is
always careful and conservative in its can
yass Of facts, and has certainly no interest
in disappearing the condition of Great
britain as regards the wheat crop, says that
the crop of wheat for The present year is
the sma lest within living memory. To
the United States we have to look for the
great bulk of our food supplies in the I
coming year. All over the continent the /
harvests are deficient. Even Austro-IIun- /
gary. which is usually an exporter, will |
most probably this year have TO import
and Russia has much smaller surplus than
has been the case of late years. Thus the /
Americans are masters of the situation"
The question of how much wheat the |
United States will be able to supply to |
hungry Europe thus becomes of the greatest |
interest. The Chicago Grain and Provision
Rccicc attempts to furnish the data for the |
solution o. this question. 1t estimates the
crop Of tie United States at 443,O00,O00
bushels, and the home demand for food and
seed at 27O0O0,000 bushels, leaving for ex-
port l13, 100000 bushels. The probable re-
gulrements of Europe, South America and
he West Indies are calculated to amount
20 2S3,0O0O00 bushels, leaving a deficit of
ll0,O0O,OOO bushels over and above the
United States. Russia, British India,
Australia, Chilli and Canada, it is supposed,
nave a surplus for export estimated at
100000 bushels, thus leaving an absolute
lefct OF 100000 bushels, which must be
net by reduced consumption. Bait Sun.
The word boom" now having quite
run as the summary expression of concer-
red effort to get up enthusiasm for some
thing or body, Is used amongst timber get
ters TO signify collection of logs which
have been laboriously gathered together at
some convenient place in a pond or stream
where they lie. They are duly manufactur-

quently, III fact-ihe "boom" breaks, and
the logs float away OBVIOUSLY at their own
sweet will, getting wonderfully scattered,
many Of them beyond recovery. Then the
log rollers sorrowfully behold their labor
lost, while the gentle drivers, heretofore
mill-eyed and melancholy, give vent TO ex-
pletives less pious than emphatic, and
address themselves with heavy hearts to
the weary task Of saving what they may.
