HOW BUsINI SIS STANDS.
The actual situation OF business to day may
be thus summed up; There is no reason to an
tlcipate anything Ike a "boom " On the con.
trary, trade reports are languid, consequent
upon the labor troubles; traffic returns are ir.
regular lending encO rSgement 10 rate cutting;
at the best, rates are low, and II may he that
dividends may have TO be further reduced, and,
generally, prodts will probably remain con
tracted for some time TO come There are dis.
tinct signs, however, that matters are tending
towards the gradual return OF activity and
prosperity. perhaps greater, moro eXt ended and
more lasting than we have yet seen.
TIlE WORLDS WHEAT HARVEST.
cable message to the Chicago Tribune from
person engaged in the grain trade in France
states that The wheat crop Of that country is es.
timated to be three siXteenths short. This ia
equivalent to 5s,000,C00 bushels, rendering II
necessary for France TO import nearly 90,000,000
bushels during the coming cereal year. This
may explain the pressure recently brought to
bea, upon N French government In favor OF
an Increase In the uty on imports alton of bread
uifs. The wheat growers desire an assurance
of high prices for n diminished production.
But 1t may also be accepted by SO people
as a very sufficient reason why the request VIII
not be granted. The consumers of bread In
the land of the "Parleyvows"- Is, those

likely to let such measure pass without a
storm OF opposition, There is now duty of
three francs per 100 Kilograms, equal to about
10 cents per bushel, levied on wheat Imports
into france for the benefit of the agricultural
classes. the proposal TO add on mother franc
Is more likely TO be followed by repeal of the
whole tax than by submission to the Increased
burden ON the manufacturing and mercantile
classes In the French republic.
The news OF Il large deficit In France is &C
companied by the informa ion that the wheat
crop OF the United kingdom is also 10 to 10 y
cent. short of an average, The cold weather
rather than. excess or deficiency OF moisture In
that far northern country, has prevented the
crop from maturing fast enough TO carry II be

India is confessedly short, and It has long since

There are now strong reasons for believing
that our on n crop east of the Rocky mouu taini
will be considerably below the average of re-
cent years. Not 30 short as the last, but still
much less than indicated In the latest oflicla
reports that have come to hand. Our Yield Of
