of the failure of her rye crop. Ger
many, usually able to meet the home
demand, will be forced this year, by
falling off in her wheat and rye
crops, to depend upon foreign fields
for 36,ooo,0O0 bushels of wheat and
75,ooo,ooo of rye. Italy will re-
quire, it is estimated, 4o,ooo,ooo,
Spain 20,ooo,ooO: Belgium 35,00O,-
900, and Switzerland 100000.
Russia, which has for years past
been exporting largely both wheat
and rye, has this year, it is stated,
hardly more than half what is needed
to supply her own population. Hol-
land will want 100000 bushels,
and the tropical islands, Brazil, Cen
trail America and Eastern Asia have
shortage that it will take 25,000,-
900 bushels to repair. The Sun is
probably in error when it says that
the wheat crop of India is "the best
for several years." All the accounts
that come to us through the English
press show deficient rains and the
promise of short crops in India. 1t
is to be hoped, however, that the Sun
is right and that India may be
counted upon for 45,000,O00 bushels
for the European market. Olnitting
the probable deman! from Russia
which the Sun puts at $50, 100000
we have thus requirement of $780,
100000 bushels of wheat and rye to
feed the hungry mouths of the i'm
porting world.
TO meet this demand it is esti-
mated that North America will have
surplus for export of l50,000,000
bushels, India 45,0OO,0O Roumania
and Bulgaria 25, 900, 900, bushels, Aus
tria- Hungary 100000 bushels, Aus
tralasia 100000 bushels, South
America 100000, Servia 100000,
bushels, Turkey 1000, 900, Asia Minor,
Syria, Persia, Cyprus and North Africa
12,OOO,Ooo; total, 259,0oo,oo0 bushels.
Il these figures are correct, the supply
will fall short some 3O,O0O, 900 bushels.
Such being the case, there would be
much competition for the available
surplus and the price of wheat would
be likely to advance to a remunerative
figure. Corn also would be in demand
to make good the deficient supply of
wheat, so that both crops would put
money into the American farmers
pocket. The moving of the crops of
wheat and corn and other breadstuffs
to our ports for expectation would give
business and increased net and gross
earnings to our railroads. From the
railroads the benefits of activity would
permeate great part of the industrial
and trading community. The farmers,
being in funds, would buy more than
they have been accustomed to do in
recent years, to say nothing of the
money they would put in circulation
by lifting mortgages and other obliga
tions that have been lettering them for
years past. Thus it will be seen the
situation is a hopeful one, if calcula.
tions apparently well founded do not
prove to be fallacious. The want into
which multitudes in the Old World
will be plunged by the deficient gifts of
soil and sky this year must be uniyer-
sally deplored, but it is the course of
nature. Minneapolis Times.
