Reviewing the Wheat Prospects
The Public, reviewing the wheat pros
poets, says iW'The severe storm which swept
over England last week has greatly affected
the outlook. 1t does not seem likely now /
that England will require twenty million
bushels less than it did last year. Accord /

England and continental seems to be as
much as is warranted thus far. In the light
of latest advices II is only fair to say that
one ftwo days OF bad weather may increase.
