Crops in Europe.

The abundance or scarcity of the crops
In countries with which we have close
commercial relations, affecting as it does
the demand for our own productions, is
always a matter of great interest From
a recent report for Great Britain and
Ireland it is learned-that the past year
was remarkable for its agreeable disap
pointments in its expected results Sue
ceeding the entire unfavorable season
from January to September, with its wet
July and August, genial harvesting
time came to the rescue in September
and October. and SO changed the whole
situation that 1888 is now looked back
upon with some satisfaction by the Brit
ish farmer Larger crops have been Sc
cured than he dared to hope for. and
higher prices for grain, sheep and cattle
have been realized.
In Ireland there has been an increase
in all the principal crops except potatoes.
which show decrease. In France mild
and rainy weather has lately followed a
period of frost. All the autumn some
cereals are looking well, and the land is
being prepared under excellent conditions
for the spring sowings France contin-
ues to show large importations Of wheat
