LONDON, Dec 1.-THE Calcutta En-

that The home officials are utterly az

heavy rainfall OF December Is welcorne

Spain" the Express continues, "hns
enjoyed an extremely heavy rainfall
since October and the benefit 10 the
agriculture % that said peninsula is
likely 10 be very great,
Central Europe has seen rapid rise
OF temperature and rather heavy rain

Referring to the Indian outlook the

Commenting on the depression here
the Mark Lane Express says: ''rhc

for the depressed English markets, the
downward tendency heiNN aided by the
government crop estimate which has
weight though IL is generally regarded
rs excessive.
Foreign wheat hns been affected by
the vigorous competition OF the home
supply: hut the dependence OF Great
Britain on imported produce is now SO
heavy that the natural facts OF the Do-
sitiun are bound 10 tell ere long, the
facts being that tho total production
,ot the world In 1896 Is barely equal to
the total requirements and the reserves

worked"
In conclusion the Mark Lane Express
predicts chat a recovery of prices Is
probable within week OF anything
