Germany Uneasy at Frances Aggressive
Fornign Policy.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Times, commenting
on the Berlin North German Gazetts's article
referring to attacks of French journals on
Germany, and declaring that France alone
threatens the peace of Europe, says the irrita-
tion shown by the latter paper cannot be ex-
planned by the reason assigned, as the French
press, upon the whole, has been very moderate
in regard to Germany. The article is rather
an expression of general impatence at the
conduct of the French, and ought to convince
them that their expeditions in various parts Of
the world do not add in the smallest degree to
their influence in Europe. The article of the
North German Gazette startled Paris, alarmed
Europe, and caused prices on the bourses of
Paris, Vienna and Berlin to fall. The press
everywhere express surprise at the Gazettes
attack on France and wonder as to what its
object is. The French papers repel the charges
contained in the article, and intimate that
France is better prepared now to say that
Prince Bismarck is seeking a pretext for a
quarrel or for the imposition Of fresh army
burdens. The Austrian press ask if the article
means war. The English journals think that
the warning was ovefdone, and that the
cause for it was insufficient. 1t would not be
wise, they say, to attach too much significance
to the article.

California,s Wheat Crop.

san FHANCIsco, Aug. 23.-California' .
wheat crop for the present year is estimated to
be worth $60,O00, 900. One-third of this will be
retained in the State for home consumption
and seed, and the rest will be exported to for
eign countries. The wheat product of the 9TH
er Pacific coasts States and Territories will be
worth $40, 900, 900 more, making the value of
the total wheat crop of the Pacific coast $780,
10000, which is more than the entire value of
States during 1882. These figures show the
moDstrous folly of which the people Of the
Pacific coast were guilty in past years when
they pinned their faith and their hopes Of fu-
ture prosperity upon their gold and silver
mines and in great measure ignored and neg
lected their far more valuable agricultural re-
sourceR.
