ANDIAN WHEAT.

Mglish brethren who direct the af-
Fslis of their government, are more than
anxious to find in the products Of the coun-
tries under their rule, substantial relief from
necessity of having to- recognize the
DJnlted States as permanent source of sup
Ply for bread-stuffs. India was to become,
in the plan Of furthering their designs,
chief reliance in opening new fields in wheat
production and which would check impor-
tation from our shores.
The efforts made in India have not pro-
duced good quality of wheat. This is an
unpleasant fact, and its admission is stayed
for the time, but no assembling Can escape
the searching eyes of American wheat-deal
ers. Every means to make it appear that
India can produce this great staple in it's
excellence will be exhausted, and then, if
come it must, the admission will be forced
one W hich acknowledges failure.
Most of the writers on our side Of the
question never surrendered the point of I'M
suitableness of climate, and that the bulk
of production would always be inferior
grain, yet the increasing quantity annually
for export was just cause Of alarm. Soon
er or later the superiority of American
wheat and flour would force their away, and
that even with the mixture of our dry heavy
seed with the inferior kinds of India, in
which chess appears to be a part of the
yield, would not save the Asiatic growth
from condemnation, though borrowing help
from the western continent in the effort to
make good -four from it.
The enterprise of our people in chearen-
ing inland freights, and the early prospect
ofrenewed progress in establishing shipping
lines between this and foreign countries will
increase the facilities and lesson the cost of
transportation, and thus our advantages in
continuing to maintain our place as COM
petitors in furnishing food supplies for the
world will receive new and valuable aids.
The Calcutta wheat-merchants are already
complaining Of the low prices they receive
in the English markets, and that the pro-
duction in India cannot be successfully
prosecuted unless there be improvement in
the figures. The long journey and the
heavy Isthmus Canal tolls are hindrances in
the way Of profit on the best, and must act
as serious drawbacks on nearly all theil
wheat, which does not rise above low grade
in the markets.
The Prairie (Chieago) Farmer, now edit
ed by Orange Judd, is as good authority az
can be quoted on any question concerning
wheat production in this country. 1t re
fers to the matter in the following words:
''The present is an exceptional period
and will not last long-provided always tia
the cornering spectators can be cheked off
or killed off by legislation, so as to let price
and trade be governed by natural causes. l
was these men, that started up this distan
competition. The present very low price
will, in tne long run, work out good result
to OFF farmers, by stopping the foreign
competition, and restoring to us our right
full, and natural position as grain grower
for the world"
