The area under wheat and rye in
Russia is 80 per cent. less than last
year; England, Scotland and France
are severe 81 fl -rers from the winter
and Hungary and ROumania are
in similar trouble. The Depart
ment of Agriculture sends out this
statement, and the report shows
further that + IrOpean nations are
imposing wheat duties that fall
heavily on the consumer whI'e
protecting the grower for a product
his acres fail to return in anythin G
like sufficient q lantity to me { The
demand. France imposes a duty
OF Sc cents a blshel. Italy one OF
% cents, Germany 81 aud Sweden
~. Russia has wheat to sell and
does not tear the importation OF
grain, but protects its -four manu-
facturers with a duty of 81 cents
The heaviest wheat duty is that o
Spain which country collects St
cents busbel y the present selling
price OF American wheat; but Spair
must buy IS 900 900 bushels an
