ARGENTINE WHEAT.
YIN, JAIL Z0.-In6 minister to
Argentina, Hon. William I. Buchanan, re-
ports to the state department under date of
Dec .: l have followed the news from the
wheat districts very carefully for the past
three months and have travelled through
not wheat provinces. The observations lead
me to believe that the quantity for export will
be between 100000 and $40, 900 TONS probably
nearer the first than the second figure The
amount exported during this year has been
564, $40 tons.

INDIAN SHORTAGE.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-The Mark Lane Express
To-Day, IN its crop review, estimates the short
age of the Indian wheat COP at upwards of a
million quarters, and says: 1.-The increased
pressure of American flour in the British mar
ket is causing some anxiety to the m!llers who
battered themselves at this time in 1896 that
American competition had been collared.''
