The European wheat Crop.

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The Mark Lane Elk
press, reviewing the crop situation, says
THE weather has been adverse to the COM
pletion of the harvest and the quantity of
grain still out is considerable. The French
wheat crop is estimated at 31,000,000 quar-
ters by the chief writer's of the Paris press
Correspondents of English business firms
state that the crop will amount to SO, 600
to 36,O000 900 quarters. The Austria hungary
crop is stated to be 100000 quarters. If
this is true it adds greatly TO the gravity
OF the situation. The American crop is
reckoned by careful judges to be 6S.500, 900
quarters, or 100000 quarters improvement
to offset a decline of 100000 quarters in
Russia and 100000 to 10 000 coo quarters in
France. All the figures point, therefore, to
deficiency in the worlds supply of 14oO0,-
900 quarters. Should the demand be actually
as large as this the stores of old wheat
will be used up and a crisis of great seri-
BUSINESS will only be prevented by generally
good prospects for the spring of 1898. We
