India ana The limited States as wheat
Growing Countries.
WAsHINGroN, April Ash-As India is
growing rival OF tie United States in the
supply Of wheat for ths British market.
American wheat shippers will be interested
in a report on the Indian wheat productions
by H. Masson, Consult General &C Calcutta.
In Febr1sry q number Of Consular reports
were printed in book form, which is just out.
Mstson's conclusions are az follows That
India can produce an average quality OF
whsat at as low cost TO the producer as the
most favorable locality in the United States I;
that SIZE can now supply the European mar
ket with about &c, 000,000 bushels annually,
and possesses facilities for increasing the sup
ply 60 an almost unlimited extent; that
owing to tie great elasticity Of the home con-
sumption, and to the vast arnount Of land
awaiting cultivation, quality, cheapness
of transportation, facilities for hand
lipg, safety against damage during
transit and stability Of the money exchange,
American wheat, especially that from tie
new Northwest, has such advantages that
there need be nc serious apprehension on &C.
count Of Indian competition at legitimate
prices but that in order to maintain this ad-
vantage it is absolutely necessary that Amer
lea should keep pace with India in her efforts
to reduce and maintain freights az the lowest
possibls minimum. On the other hand. il is
an indisputable fact that Iudian wheat hiss
already become, and will continue TO be, 8
very important factor in the grain markets OF
Europs and Chicago against high p.icee,
brought about either by speculation or any
other unnecessary or artificial means. Finally,
that upon the basis OF fair average crop
throughout the world, the American farmer
will have TO prepare himself to reduce the
cost of production 20 the lowest minimum,
and be content with small profits. or else
wheat-growing 10 India will be stimulated to
such an extent that her subsequent competi-
ton may become extremely formidable.

care to keep them long. But as he passed
100 he took to the intention of making great
run, and he did il In magnificent fashion.
From this time on every shot wac made with
extreme care, and while he did small pro-

a consequence he had very few difficult shots
