5l.l per cent. OF the wheat imported into
the United Kingdom in fifteen years, that
Russia has sent 1875 per cent, and India
40 per cent, and Australasia only $40 per
cent. OF an annual average of 2l,256, ,512

India Wheat.

The most exaggerated and untenable
views OF the increase OF wheat production
in India has been promulgated by the COM
merclal press and reiterated by news jour
nails. 1t has been stated that enormous en-
largement of area has occurred from the
stimulus Of railway extension. The statistI-
clan of the department of agriculture, from
previous knowledge and receut thorough
investigation of the status OF wheat grow.
ing In India, has recently com batted aud
utterly overturned this commercial theory
by the cold logic of facts.

Baltimore.

Baltimore.
A question that has caused some trouble
in regard to the gunboat No. (the Perell,
now being constructed at Baltimore by the
Columbia Iron Works, wos settled yester-
day by Secretary Whitney. The contract
price for this vessel was S247, 900, and the
time for her completion expired Dec. 90
last. The work Of construction has been
very much delayed, and the vessel Is now
scarcely more than one-tenth completed.
The contractors are subject TO a penalty OF
S95 per day for elk months after the expira-
tion Of the limit fixed for the completion Of
the vessel. After six months the pc lalty
is gradually increased for each days delay
until at the end OF two years 1t amounts to
$500 per day. In view OF these increasing
forfeits question arose as to the propriety
Of making the 10 per cent. payment usually
allowed for such work when It is one-tenth
completed. The Secretary ascertained that
there was no risk involved in making the
first payment, and directed that 1t be made.
1t is expected that the contractors will ask
to have the contract time extended, In
order to be relieved Of the accruing penal
ties but so far they have not done so.
