Chinese question was leading issue,

The Farmers Review, of Chicago, Of
this week, publishes careful estimates
of the shortage of the wheat crop of the
entire country. Itplaces the aggregate
yield at 418, 1893, 372 bushels against
456, 329, 900 bushels last season. The

in price of wheat or the cutting down of
the size or raising Of the price Of the

q half bushel per year per capita for
each inhabitant of the country and that
reduced to loaves of bread would be less
than half loaf week
