ENGL4ND'S WHEIT CROP.
The Standard Says This Revives the Hope of
the Farmer.
lBy Cable TO The Timcs.l


LONDON, April 6.-The Standard publishes
an exhaustive review Of the agricultural ont
look. in the course Of which it says that the
steady rise in wheat revives the hopes Of the
English farmers. IL adds that wheat
will secure the best price IN
many years the principal cause Of the
rise being the failure of foreign crops. In
France and Russia. according % the Stan
dard the wheat crops are below the average.
and will show deficiency Of not lcss than
1000. 900 quarters.
The only exception is Hungary. whore there
are better prospects. but 10 il almost certain
that the worlds wheat consumption Will ex-
ceed the production computed. Whatever
;he magnitude the American crop may be
il will not be sufficient 10 cover the European
deficit. thus compelling an extensive draft
upon the reserves for third year in successl n.
Concluding its review the Standard SAYS
The increased home consumption. the de-
creased wheat area owing To the spread Of
population and recourse 10 scientific tiilage IN
order 10 repair the waste % the fir-t settlers,
thus increasing the cost Of production must
inevitably remove the American farmers fol-
