Our A AgricuItura1 Supremacy-Whnt the British Conmfsston Report Atlout It.

LONDON, July 22.-The report of Messrs. Clare Sewen Read and Albert Pell, who were sent by the Royal Agricultural Commission to the United States and Canada to inquire into the state of agriculture, is published They say that while many of the prevailing condi- tions are favorable in America in the contest for agricultural supremacy, still drawbacks exist which tell in favor of England. The severe winters in America suspend agricultu ral employment. Droughts, injurious insects and in the prairie country short supply of water endanger the crops. Western America possesses singular advantages for stock rais CTS, while the Middle States afford them e1- cellent pasturage and the Eastern States good markets. The allotment of land and the ter imitation of free ranges in the West will in crease the cost of cattle raising, but the in- creased consumption by the growing popula- ton will enhance prices. The success and extension of the growth of blue grass opens fresh prospects for the grazier, and will in time bring the improved turf under the hoof of thoroughbred stock, or at least of highly graded cattle.
