Shortage.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 20.-The in
formation now available relative to the
wheat crops Of the world indicates that
the aggregate of supplies will be less
this year than last
Remembering the sensational predic-
tions Of worldwide famine that were
made by many crop statisticians a year
ago, this statement will probably be
doubted my many. But IL is neverthe-
less true, and unless the estimates of
crops in various countries are mate
rally changed between now and
harvest time, the actual conditions Of
supply and demand will justify high
or average value for wheat during the
year 1s92-93 than the conditions justi-
fed during the crop year which has
just ended.
This year Russia promises to have
fair wheat crops and moderate rye crops
But the increase in the yields will not
be available to go on the markets Of
the world.
Official reports covering three-fourths
OF the Indian crop have been published
They show n crop IS, 600, 900 bushels less
than that of last year India's entire
exports last year were 81, 900, 900 bush
els and that was the greatest years ex-
portation in the history Of the country.
Out Of this years short wheat crop
nearly go, 100000 bushels have already
been shipped.
The crop Of Australasia is 5000, 900
bushels less than last year and very
little wheat is going forward from that
country TO Europe
The English wheat crop, according
10 late issues Of the Liverpool Corn
Trade News, a standard authority, will
be $4,000, 600 bushels less than last year.
The acreage of wheat In the United
Kingdom is I TO 10 per cent below that
Of last year, and in some districts the
harvest will be very light
The highest estimate of the wheat
crop of this country, based on the June
percentages Of condition reported by
the statistician of the agricultural de-
partment, is 522, 600, 900 bushels. The
Cincinnati Price Current estimates the
crop to be sos, 900, 900 bushels, with the
chances favoring less rather than more
than these figures. The probabilities
are that Kansas will raise more than
she is given credit for, But
throughout the states OF the CEN
trail west the harvest is turning out
short of the early promises. II is al
NEST certain, therefore. that the crop
OF this country will not exceed $50, 900,
900 bushels. That is OF, OOO, 900 bushels
less than last year
The total increase over last years
crops in countries more favored is TO-
900, 900 bushels, TO offset decrease OF
100, 900, 900 bushels in countries whose
crops are less than last year.
