Another Element in the boom for
American Cereals.
The shortage this year in the Euro
pean crop of rye, the cereal largely
used abroad for bread and Mt home for
whisky, is estimated as 300, O00. 900 BUSH
els, and there is already considerable
demand for American rye for export.
Fortunately for American farmers,
this years rye crop is considerably i'm
advance of what IL has been, and the
crop will exceed, il is computed, 30, 0OO,-
600 bushels. thereby breaking the rec
ord, which was 29,060, 900 bushels In
1882
Rye is used extensively In many Euro
pean countries, particularly I'm Russia,
about half the total rye used i'm Europe
and America being raised in Russia.
An enormous quantity OF rye, too, is
raised in Germany, and n considerable.
though smaller, amount in Hungary.
Sweden and France and two other
European countries which produce
considerable amount of rye, IL being
used for bread more extensively there
than in the United States. a compu-
tation made year ago as to the extent
to which rye is utilized in the manufacy

whisky is az broad and as great az the
fame of any other distilled beverage
perhaps, but American-made rye bread
has never taken n very high rank In
popularity, and this country has gene.
rally had rye to export. In 1894 some
100000 bushels of American rye were
exported TO foreign countries, and the
expectations of American rye this year.
to meet the shortage abroad. will be
| largely in excess of that total. Ne
braska alone has this year rye crop
OF 100000 bushels and the selling price
on the farm in the Blackwater state has
risen from II to "a cents bushel and
Is still rising. In the Chicago market
this week December rye, standard
grade, for delivery was selling at Sc
cents and touched go. Last year bar
ley was selling in the Chicago market
for 43 TO 4S cents, and, with an increased
supply from the large crop. IL might be
inferred that the price would decline
instead of increasing. The increase In
to be ascribed to the shortage abroad.
In France the amount Of wheat used
per capita Is more than double the
amount OF rye. In Germany. on the
other hand twice as much rye as wheat
is 100000 tons of rye and 3.OOO,-
900 tons of wheat. In Norway, Sweden
and Denmark twice as much rye is used
as wheat, but Great Britain imports
very little rye. though the value Of the
importations Of wheat averages more
than $200,0O0,O0O year. The shortage
OF the European rye crop. especially
in Russia and Germany, furnishes n
market for the American surplus. which
was not expected or counted upon at
the beginning Of the present SEASON.
