Our Wheat and Foreign Needs.

| The Department Of Agriculture, say:
the Baltimore Journal of Commerce, has re
ported the area Of the wheat crop of 1SS-
ut about $500. 900, acres, and the last esti
mate is 13f bushels per acre, making 9
total of about 513 million bushels. The
wheatarea OF the next crop is now reckoned
| ut not more than 80 million acres, requir.
hing abort 50 Fmillion bushels for seeding
purposes. The average population for the
next year Will be about 50 millions. and
allowing Il per cdput consumption of 46C
bushels for food the requirements will be
aholit 2G7 million bushels which is mini
mum estimate On account of low prices
Il great deal Of inferior wheat is being used
for feeding stock, but the amount cannot
be determined accurately. 1t is said that
the movement Of the Northwestern spring
wheat indicates an unusual shrinkage at
the elevators FROM foreign seed and other
material. If it is granted that three per
cent. of the estimated crop will be used in
seeding and involvedEin shrinkage from
weed seeds. etc.. this abatement will be
about Is million bushels. If the crop
should be as large rs $40 millions, and 332
millions are the total domestic require
ments, there will be remainder Of 17S
millions available for exports in grain and
-four, and for supplying the depleted re-
serves Of the. country. 4. The low prices
