The new crop of wheat in India" says Liv.
erpoo writer for the New York Commercial
Bulletin, lis already pouring into ports of ship
mcnl, and rs the last crop but one was three
times the size Of the previous one, and the last
one three times the size of its predecessor, the
present one is looked upon as likely To show
possible similar results Steamers are diverted
To the Indian waters 10 bring II forward, and the
The season Is looked upon as promising To bu
long and prosperous for all concerned In IT,"
This Is the way the san Francisco Journal 0i
commerce puts II: san Francisco WILL within
two or thee years ut most have to handle 90,
5000 bushels of wheat yearly, where II had
pre-, iously 10 handle not more than l6, coo. OOC
at the greatest, and where last year 1t had only
about 30, 100000 bushels TO dispose Of There vii
be jump from last years figures of over 200jO,
600 bushels. Andit viii not stop here, for will
the spread fcultivation the product will ncrcaS,
year by year, how fast 1t would hardly be sal,
TO set limit TO, considering what has been don,

that IL In six years, II doubled II also doubled Ia
the preceding years. Suppose Ii takes tn,
longer period to double. the wheat crop of III,

years hence. let II take ten years, and 1t woulC
reach that figure in 1890 The wheat crop o.
the coast which San Francisco would nave Il
handle, would he In the same year probably
$780, OO, 900 bushels. Of this not more than 20
