THE Chicago Triaahe embodies in an
editorial the results of the recent investiga.
tions of the wheat situation. The conclu-
saocs are that winter wheat this year will be
short one-third; that spring wheat will
yield this year 20 per cent. less than last
and that we shall not have bushel of this
years crop for export. This is bad out
look, not only for American producers but
foreign consumers, 1t may brighten,
however as the Season advances.

TIE new version nf the Rib

THE new version of the Bible is severely
criticised by leading London journal.
The system upon which the revisers appear
to have acted is pronounced erronerous and
isplorable, especially in mending the En-
glish and improving the grammar of passa-
ges which have struck deep root in the
hearts and memory of the English people.
1t is alleged that moods and lenses have
6oen shifted about TO the satisfaction of
some perdent's scheme of syntactical SYM
metry. Sentences treasured up in the pop
Mar mind and enriched beyond descrip-
ton By pathetic associations of hundreds
OF years have been tortured and crucifed
into precise grammatical accord with the
latest refnements of critical labor, and thus
been robbed of all their true value. It is
evident that the new revision is to be a
prominent topic of discussion for a long
hme to come, and will not be readily
adopted by the present generation, at least.

SHORT On WHEAT.

Rather a Bearish Estimate OF i,c Next Crop.
Chicago Tribune EDITORIAL
1t is we'll Known to many parties in the trade
that heavy capitalists have recently investigat-
ed the present situation in wheat, and the pros
poets for the next crop. The Tribune has taken
some pains to ascertain the conclusions at
which they have arrived and feels it to be du-
ty to present those conclusions-of course,
without vouching for their accuracy They are,
briefly, as follows:
l. Tho wiatsr wheat crop of the whole Unit
ed States will not aggregate more than two
thirds the tield bf lsst Sest.. -.
3. The acreage now sown to spring wheat Is
20 per cent. less than in 1880; the yield per
acre promising to be no greater this year than
last.
8. Only about seven and half million BUSH
els of wheat remain in the hands of millers and
in elevators in the country; and not more than
one-third of that quantity will reach our lake
ports, unless prices should advance so much
as to induce millers to ship their reserves in
stead of grinding the grain
If these estimates be correct the situation
resolves itself into this We have enough wheat
on hand ID stpply otr own needs up ID Hbxt
harvest, and that harvest will supply all tbs
wheat wanted for bread and seed 10 tie United
States during the next crop year.. But nothing
more! Not bushel for export The / so; ;OOO;-
600 bushels of deficiency from last years
yield is barely equal to the quantity exported
in wheat and flour. Anything exported after
this date will be unnecessarily parted with
literally sharing Of our own loaf with people
who want it as badly as ourselves, or verse.
