WHEAT.
A Review OF the Worlds Output for
Five Years.

Five Years.
The worlds wheat crop for the year
1894, according to latest estimates, was
2, 397, zoo, 900 bushels. This was 49,
900, 900 bushels more than the crop of
1893, 57,00O,OO0 bushels more than the
crop of 1892. 1868. 600 bushels more
than the crop o: 1891. and 10, 81, 200
bushels more than the crop of 1890.
Each year thus shows a decided in
crease in production over the previous
one for these last five years.
The increase of the crop of 1891 over
that of 1890 was due principally to the
heavy output of the United States.
Our banner wheat year was 1891, when
We raised the largest wheat crop in
history, viz. Gil, 10000 bushels.
With Canada included, it reached
$50. .3l3, 900 bushels, being go, 900, 900
bushels more than the crop of 1890.
Europe decreased 175,OOO,OOO bushels
that year: India, Argentine, etc, in
creased 81, ZOO, 600 bushels, making the
total increase for the year 1000, 200
bushels.
The increase of the crop of 1892 over
1891 was due to Europe. and especially
to the countries of France and Russia.
The United States and Canada de-
creased 100. 100000 bushels: India,
Argentine, ETC.. decreased $4,000, ZOO
bushels: The European increase
was 1S5,OOO.0OO bushels s-ju s
| 10, 900, 900 bushels more than they
had dropped off the year before
making a net worlds increase for the
year of 81. 900, 600 bushels.
The increase of the crop of 1893 over
that of 1892 was 100000 bu.. and
was due to both Europe, and India,
Argentine. etc. The United States
and Canada output fell off awfully in
that year. showing deficit of 123, 900.
600 bu.. from the crop of 1892. The
European increase was $1,000. 900 bu.
the India and Argentine increase was
1O2. 600, 600 bu.. making the net increase
I4.OOO. 600 bu.
The increase of the crop of 1894 over
that of 1893 was due entirely to this
country: Europe decreased 3.OO0.00t
bu.. India. Argentine. etc. decreased
$4,000. 600 bu.: the United States and
Canada increased. 72.00O.000 bu..
making the worlds increase 1900. .00C
bu.
Here We have the entire wheat Situa-
tion for the last five years.
In 1891. when we had such magnifi-
cent output in this country. we were
favored by an exceedingly large de-
crease in Europe. In 1892. when our
crop was a splendid one, though con-
siderably under that of 1891. we had a
substantial decrease in India and
Argentine. with Il normal output in
Europe. In 1893 with our crop con-
| siderably reduced we have greatly in
creased outputs in Europe. India and
Argentine In 1894. when We add on
.. 200. 600 bu. to our last years crop.
we are again confronted with heavy
outputs in all the other countries and
find ourselves piling up the world :
supply TO an excess OF i3.0O0.G00 bu. g.
over last year. which output in itself
showed a material increase over the
crOps Of all preceding years.
