The Crops Abroad.

Gloomy accounts Of the prospect of the

Clwydd, Wales, thousands of acres Of crops
are still submerged, and hundreds Of cattle
and sheep have been drowned.
A despatch of the 23d says:-It is raining
again to-day with great severity. The floods
in Oxtordshre are the highest ever known in

been disastrous TO the agricultural prospects
IN Essex, Surrey, Kent aud parts Of Middle
sex counties. The crops that were left stand.
ing by the storm OF the 10th have been com
pletey beaten down and ruined.
Mr.. Scott, the well.known agricultural au-
thoniy, in his annual letter, estimates the
grain crops at q third less than the average,
amounting to loss of s125, 000, 600 to the
cultvators, aud that 100000 quarters Of
wheat will be required from abroad. Mr..
Scott also estimates that the deficiency in the
potato crop will cause loss to cultivntors Of
S15,000, 900, and the deficiency in beans,
peas and rye loss Of $3.50 900.
VIENNA, Aug 25.--An official report states
that the Austro Hungarian wheat crop Of the
present year is 100000 metric cenials less
than that of the crop Of 1878, but owing to
the accumulated stocks Of 1878 only 2, 00O, 900
centals will have 10 be imported. lmporla-
ton Of 1000, 600 metric centals Of rye will be
necessary.
The failure of the maize crop in Bulgaria
will entail a largely increased consumption of
wheat. As the wheat crop, though Of good
quality, has been somewhat reduced by dry
weather, prices of breadstuffs will be high on
the Lower Danube during the next year.
A Times despatch from Bushire says the
drought has severely affected the spring har

rah districts in Asiatic Turkey. The price Of
wheat in Mesopotamia has risen TO three
times the usual price.
Adispatch from London, August 2S,h, says:
A renewal of the floods is reported from va.
rious parts of England and Wales. Reports
OF the harvest are daily more deplorable. At
several places there has been thirty hours
steady and continuous rain.
