The Mark Lane Express. in its week
ly review Of the British crop situation,
says: We are unable to share the View
that the wheat is making seasonable
progress. It IS not thick. anA the
growth since Easter has been extreme
ly slow but last summers warmth is
still Ia the ground, and the autumn
store Of moisture beneath the soil
should protect US from absolute dis
aster. Thus the outlook is for
mediocre yield OF q to 2s bu. A hot.
dry June may improve the plant, but
we do ! OF believe full average can
now be obtained. even under the mo-
favorable circumstances. In the course
OF the survey Of the wheat situation Of
continental Europe the Mark Lane Ex-
press says: In France the weather has
not been favorable. Even the minister
OF agrieulture's good report OF the
wheat only argues for yield of 37,-
100000 qrs. leaving 100000 qrs. to be
imported. The Prusslan and Polish
wheat is promising. but cold rains in
Austria have reduced fine prospects.
Russian reports are mostly encourag-
ing. The popularity OF American -four
