FOREIGN CROP SITUATION.
Russia's Wheat Crop Is Deficient, but
She Exports Freely.

Washington. Nov. 1s-The agricultural
department has issued its monthly re-
view OF the foreign crop situation. Much
attention is devoted TO the grain crop Of
Russia, especially wheat on account Of
its magnitude as factor in European
supply
The review says that all accounts agree
in representing the wheat crop as deficic-
ent, but the review calls attention to the
fact that since the harvest Russia has
exported grain very freely. It Is gen
orally understood that Russia had large
stocks OF wheat left over from the crops
of the preceding year and this fact cou-
pied with the good prices which have pre-
vailed may account for the large exports
which have taken place even though the
crop failure in large parus Of Russia has
been extremely serious. The review says
estimates of the Russian crop are SO un-
certain that their reprOdud,ion would be
of doubtful utility.
Preliminary official figures for France
show a reduction of 26 per cent below
1896 and II per cent. below the average
for ten years. AS for FIVE years. France
and Russia produce % per cent. Of the
worlds crop. The review says h-avy
shortage in both countries would there
fore be sufficient in itself to produce
very sensible effect on THE words sup
ply. independent of short crops in Aus
tra, Hungary, the Dandbian and Balkan
countries and elsewhere. and the short
ness OF the last crop in India, Australia
and Argentine. In Germany rye, which
is the principa, bread grain in 'rh@t coun-
try has been officially estimated at 1 per
cent. less than last years crop, Various
estimates for Austria Hungary are more
or less conflicting but there Is no doubt
as to there being heavy deficit in the
wheat crop.
The wheat crop OF the United Kingdom
Is estimated ait 5O,OOOOOO bushels. A pre-
aminary estimate of the italian wheat
crop makes it S5,S51,O 900 bushels against
r4.u4.7OO last year. The Roumanian whaat
crop is estimated at SI1S4,72O bushels.
The Bulgarian wheat crop is estimated
at 40 per cent; rye, ait So to 40 per cent,
and barley at 25 per cent. less than last
year The wheat CROP of Turkey hes
been estimated at 5O,SOOOCO Imperial
bushels.
In Argentine the drought which for
time in some provinces threatened Sc
rious damage seems to have been gener'
ally broken and the danger Of any seri-
Gus loss from such source seems now, IL
the advanced state of the crop, to have
passed. The Indian wheat crop has beer
sown under favorable conditions and tn
same is in general true of the winter
grain crops of Europe.
