SHORT WHEAT CROP IN INDIA.
Enough for Home Consum ption But Very

Little Tor Export.
The August bulletin of the Agricul-
tural Department, which was published
on the I'D, says: The Indian govern
ment has just issued its final consoli-
dated report on the acreage and pro-
duct of wheat for the pre- ent year.
The aggregate is q material reduc-
ton from last year, showing a seriou
shortage in the crop. Long continue
drought at the time for sowing, and al
sence of sufficient winter rains over
large areas have very materially re
duced both the aggregate acreage and
the yield per acre. The reduced sup
ply will undoubtedly be sufficient for
home consumption, but there can be
but a small surplus available for export.
The scarcity is already being reflected
by the trade returns"
