the acreage seeded was larger than the
figures above, being reduced by extensive
substitution OF other crops for winter wheat
destroyed by the freezing and thawing.
The requirements OF present consumption
will be met by a breadth Of q, 900, 900 acres,
with an average yield, leaving about 0,
5C0GO0 acres for the production Of wheat
for export, sufficient to produce, at an aver
age yield, 1l4,0O0,000 bushels. A large
yield, like that Of 1884, would allow $780,
O0OOC0 bushels for expectation.
FOREIGN PRODUCTION.
The requirements OF European demand
can be better indicated by a statement Of
the average production and consumption
for period Of years, in connection with
the latest facts Of product and supply. A
collection OF the facts Of production be-
tween 1874 and 1881, so far as obtained for
consecutive years, make the average pro-
ductlon of Europe 1,144,000,O0O bushels ;
the consumption, In food and seed, 1884,
100000 bushels, requiring a supply from
other continents Of los, 000, 900 bushels.
The rate OF European consumption,
though varying from single bushel in Nor
way to nine in France, averaged VERY
nearly four bushels per capita, or three and
half bushels exclusive of seed.
The rate Of yield In the last five years has
been larger than for eight years preceding
upon somewhat larger area, so that the
average product, as shown by a collection OF
data more nearly complete than is often
presented in similar statements, make
an aggregate production OF 1,2lS,-
100000 bushels an increase OF a.
100000 bushels. There is a small increase
Of population and some advance In rate OF
consumption, yet some portion OF the for
mer European deficiency is provided for at
home, reducing the quantity to be obtained
from America and elsewhere and also aiding
slightly in the reduction of the price OF
wheat throughout the world.
The following table gives, as far as pos
sible the official returns Of the product OF
the last five years In all the countries Of Eu'
rope. II shows that 1881 aud 1888 were
years Of average yield, those Of 1882 and
1884 seasons OF large, and that Of 1886 one

There Is no doubt as TO where the great
mass OF the Republicans Of Ohio stood on
the question Of fedistrictlng the state. Nine
hundred and ninety. nine out OF every
thousand wished the old districts restored
as they were prior TO the coal.oil gerry
mander. The Republican party Is not the
personal property OF select few, nor can
II afford to sacrifice its principles to accom-
modate half dozen or so aspirauts for
congressional honors. The districts created
in 1882 were fair, equitable, and, geograph-
ically considered, correct. The gerry
mander by the coal.oil boodlers was one OF
n series Of outrages committed by that gang
OF scoundrels, and IL devolved upon the
present legislature to apply the corrective
by restoration Of the districts as they
were before the Doodle eruption. Any
other course pursued by the legislature
would not have been approved by the Re.
publicans, and the legislators would not
have done their duty and redeemed their
promises by emitting TO do this. Now that
the gerrymander has been oblterated and
the old districts restored, the people will

the custom so long that It is now looked
upon as a governing rule, that an officer
who has acquitted himself honorably In the

he will step down and out, and appreciate

will be made to renominate them.-[Jour-

Stocks In Paris at the same date slightly
exceeded 100000 bushels. They were
about 100000 bushels April /, 1885, and
nearly 5000, 900 bushels April /, 1884.
Records Of other continental markets arc
not complete, but stocks are generally
small and differ little In quantity from those
Of year ago.
There are no great reservoirs OF stored
wheat in these hand.to-mouth markets.
Stocks represent the consumption OF O frac-
ton Of month, hence q statement of stocks
on hand, except In the United States, is Of
little utility. In Russia and southeastern
Europe the reserves are invisible, aud In
good years the distribution is much slower
than in this country, and liable to 20 over
to succeeding crops.
The amount on the water from all parts
OF the world is somewhat larger considera-
ton. The British trade records, May 1,
made In round numbers the quantity Of
wheat and flour ''on passage" 1900, 900
bushels, against 25,000,000 bushels at the
same date last year. French calculations
made the total coming to Europe 81, ZOO, 900
bushels, against 3o,000,000 bushels last
year.
Comparing stocks on hand (greater In
Great Brittany in connection with grain and
flour en- route by sea, there appears to be
q small decline, but not exceeding few

The imports OF wheat into Great Britain
In 1885 were 114,713,762 bushels, the ex-
ports ! 1856, 1870 bushels, leaving the net i'm
ports 113, 1851, $3.50 bushels. The net flour ex-
pressed as bushels was 36,673,016 bushels,
making the net importation of wheat and
flour $50, 030,G4S bushels.
In the first four months Of 1886, to May
!, the importation into Great Britain has
fallen off one-third, or fifteen million bush
els, as compared with the same months In
1885. With this reduction the proportion
contributed by the United States amounts
to 100000 bushels, including flour as
wheat, or 81 per cent. OF British imports.
India, In these -four months, sent over H.

THE COMING CROPS.
The supply OF the commercial year 1867
Is to come from the crops already har-
vested in the southern hemisphere and In
India, and those to be harvested during the
next four months. The crop of India,
grown on an area reduced about one and
three-fourths million acres, may have
yielded 265, 000, 900 bushels. The Australia
sian crops are greatly reduced, and from
present Information will not exceed 2,O0O,-
600 bushels. Those Of South America are
somewhat larger than last year, how much
Is not yet known, but are not likely to in-
crease the product more than 100000
bushels. From present information 1t is
fair TO estimate a decrease OF 32,000,000
bushels, from the aggregate of last year s
production in the districts already har-
vested.
1t is u mistake TO assume that the breadth
OF wheat Of Europe has recently been de-
Ginning. There has been marked increase In
Russia and In this country, In India, Aus
tralia, and South America. There has been
some increase also In Hungary, Germany,
and France since 1880. The acreage OF
the following countries is given for five
consecutive years:

The average Of the world is fraction
above twelve bushels per acre, and the good
aud bad seasons, irregular, distributed geo
graphically, equalize production in large
measure, so that the yearly average rarely
rises or falls half q bushel from the normal
average for period.
AS this country now produces three
fourths Of the corn Of the world, and has
averaged for FIVE years product OF 1,6l9,-
100000 bushels, and exported only an aver.
age Of 56,000,O00 bushels, or 81 per cent,
and could readily have doubled the expor-
tation without missing IL, II appears almost
frivolous to give stocks IN the commercial
markets which rarely show more than
per cent. of the production at one time.
The stocks In this country and Europe, how
ever, are found above in connection with
wheat.
The principal buyer of maize is Great
Britain, and In the last five years the pur-
chases have averaged 5S,000,000 bushels per
annum, of which this country has contrib
uted 36,000,000 bushels, or 62 per cent. Of
all, without counting that going through
Canada. Roumanla, Russia, Turkey, and
Egypt always furnish small amount.
Except In this country and Mexico,
maize is a minor product, and is produced
In countries which arc not generally ad-
vanced in crop reporting methods. It IL
somewhat difficult to give the exact status
Of acreage and product, but the following

This statement shows that the average
production OF Europe during the past five
years has been increased some 50,000,000
bushels over the avarage OF the ten years
preceding, which included several seasons
OF unusually low yield in western Europe.
Those exceptional years were the ones In
which American expectation ran alb
normally high; and that extraor
binary demand led to an in
crense Of millions Of acres OF wheat in this
country, and to further enlargement Of area
In Russia, India, Australia, and South
America. This furnishes a sufficient eX-
PLANTATION OF the present plethora and low
prices.
The crop Of 1885 In Europe was equal to
the average Of five years, while the one pre-
ceding was much larger In Europe and
in America. The average of the last five
years In the United States was 1876, 900
bushels of the ten years preceding, some
Of which supplied the heaviest demand for
expectation ever known, 366,000,000
bushels Thus the increase in Europe and
the United States is at least 100, 100000
bushels, while the increased population
(say Is, 100000 and 10000, 900 from 1875 to
1889 would demand nearly that quantity.
II Is not true, then, that the comparative
supply is less than formerly from the home
product Of these great producing countries.
And the increase In other quarters-in
Canada, Mexico, India, South America,
and North Africa--is probably an average
OF 1900, COO acres, with an average increase
OF production of G3,0O0,000 bushels, two.
thirds Of which is available to enlarge the
commercial supply. This explains why our
exports have averaged 6,000,0 900 bushels
for the last five years, when for the three
years preceding the average was ia 900, 900

The product Of Algeria, Egypt, Asia
Minor, Persia, and other districts included
in Africa and Western Asia, is stated on
commercial authority and cannot be vouch-
ed for as accurate. Most OF the other estl-
mates which make up the aggregates OF this
statement are official. The grand aggregate
OF 2,llO,O00, 900 bushels does not represent
absolutely the whole production of the
world, as China and Asiatic Russia are not
considered (the latter credited with only
4,00o, goo or 1000, 600 bushels), as the guam
tity is uncertain and has no bearing on the
commercial supply OF Europe.
COMMERCIAL SUPPLY.
The ordinary method OF forecasting de-
maud by an exhibit Of commercial stocks Is
unreliable, II not misleading. large nc
cumulation Of stocks may be strong pre-
sumptive evidence Of large crops, yet the
visible supply is not necessarily In proper
ton to the invisible. Nor are the CONNER
cial sales OF period the infallible measure
Of the actual consumption Of that period
For instance, the receipts Of foreign and
native wheat In the markets Of Great Bril-
tain for thirty'siN weeks up to May /, 1896,
were az, ll9,GGO cwts against 81 sos 900
cwts, to last May; and to May /, 1884, they
were 76,2S0,0O0 cwts., against S7,97OOOO
cwts. for similar period Of the previous
year The crops of the world for 1889 and
1884, as shown above, were very large, and
the market movement OF these years was
heavy; but the invisible remainder was
larger prop0rlionally than the visible sup.
ply, aud contributed 10 reduction Of prices
IN succeeding years, while the fulluess OF
visible stocks Of those years limited the
demand for consumption in the seasons
following.
In view of these considerations. It has
been deemed best 10 ascertain the actual
production If the world, and the normal
consumption OF the principal consuming
countries, to afford an Indication Of the
real supplies available both In the hands OF
producers and In the worlds markets. The
Hbsurdity Of reliance on stocks alone Is
shown by the fact that the average stocks
Of Great Britain, on the LIST OF April Of six
years past, have not been equal to three
weeks consumption; and they have some
times been largest when taken from a
medium crop.
The statement Of production above shows
that the year 1884 was one OF large yield
everywhere, and that 1885 had an average
product in Europe large yield In India
and Australia, and a small crop In the
United States. The following table gives,
