Decline of British Agricnlture.

London Letter in New York Times.
Agricultural returns issued last night for
1895 reveal some remarkable facts The
wheat acreage has diminished by $4,000
acres In a single year. The total dimnu-
ton since 1873 has been just under 2,0e0. 600
acres of which two-thirds was in the last
FIVE years. leaving now less than 1905 600
acres under wheat all told. TO some ex-
tent harley and fruit have taken the place
OF wheat, but the great bulk OF the land
has gone TO grass. Notwithstanding this
dead meat imports continue to mount up
over co., o0 tons, Of which three -tifths was
from the United States, coming In last
year. The total annual imports of wheat
and -four have now reached the tremen-
dous figure of St5D, 90 600. When, however,
il is realized that the British farmers are
so unenterprising as to allow $50 coo 600
worth Of foreign eggs to be brought into
the country yearly, simply because they
VIII not bother with poultry, II is difficult
TO get up any deep sympathy for them.
