CROPS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
The drouth In United Kingdom was
partially broken during the latter half
of the past week. but the rainfall was but
slight and in no way interfered with the
ingathering Of the hay, of which there il
a light yield, not expected to exceed two
thirds Of last seasons outturn of 313, O00,-
900 cwt (the crop of 1893 was officially es-
timated at 181, 100000 cwt. The quality
Of this years hay leaves nothing to De
desired. The wheat crop with but few
exceptions, is we'll spoken of, the premier
cereal being we'll able to stand any
amount of drouth the British Isles are
ever likely to experience In a few cases
the plant is said to be thin on the ground,
and in still fewer instances 1t is said to
have lost color; but our readers will find
on comparing the current reports with
those recorded of former. dry seasons,
for instance 1893 and 1887, that there is
not much to be feared on these scores
Wheat area estimated at 1,600, 900 to ], 7O0,-
900 acres, and yield at $4,000, 900 bushels.
Russia-Recent reports, both official
and private, confirm the news Of damage
to the rye crop in Central Russia Wheat
is generally acknowledged to show better
condition than rye, but this crop also ap-
pears to have suffered damage in some
districts Of the interior, and the same
may be said Of the spring crops. The
southern and southeastern parts Of the
empire, where abundant rains have fall
len, have satisfactory crops. A larger
area than usual has been seeded with
corn.
France-The weather last week contin-
ued stormy and did not favor the boom
ing Of the wheat plant. Some reporters
consider that more or less serious crop
damage has resulted, but others think
that complaints come chiefly from dis
tricts where the crops have been laid, and
that with fine weather now q good aver
age yield of wheat will yet be secured.
Germany-Our correspondent at Ham,
burg telegraphs us that crop prospects
are becoming less favorable owing to re-
ports of rain damage; reports dispatched
towards the end of last week, however,
were generally favorable. The official
report for Prussia Of crop conditions in
middle of June showed an improvement
for rye, but no change for other crops
compared with the month previous.
Roumania-CrOp reports continue in
general very satisfactory, though men,
ton is made of local damage from hail
and heavy rains.
Bulgaria-Crop outlook very satisfac-
tory.
ustria-Hungary-The government Of
ficials now estimate the wheat crop in
Hungary at 100000 quarters, 1000, 900
quarters less than the yield of 1894. Rye
is still about 100000 quarters less than
the crop of last year. In Austria the
weather has continued to favor the crops,
WHICH, with the exception Of rye, may be
considered quite satisfactory.
Italy-It is again reported that the
wheat crop of North Italy does not show
a satisfactory condition, but in other
parts the crops are very cromising.
Spain-The weather in general has con-
tinued favorable for the harvest.
Holland-Crop outlook very fine.
Belgium-The weather has continued
to favor the crops.
Sweden-Reports are contradictory
The south appears to have fair crops. but
other districts complain very much of
damage from the prolonged drouth.
India-The six provinces from which
final reports of the yield Of the wheat
crop have been received give q total of
&c, 0S0, 900 quarters, against Is, 562 900 quar-
ters in 1894, and rs, 300, 900 quarters, the
average Of the previous seven years The
following shows details:
