REPORT FROM MARK LANE.
London, Eng, May d.-The Mark Lane
Express In it's veely review OF the crop
situation says:
Eve are unable to share the view that
wheat is making seasonable progress II 10
not thick and the ground growth since
Easter has been extremely slow; but last
summer warmth is still in the ground and
the Autums store OF moisture beneath the
SOL should protect US from disaster.
Thus mediacore outlook Is for a yield OF
from q TO 8 bushels. A hot dry June
may improve the plant: but we do not be-
Ileye that fun average can be now OBJ
tanned. even under the most favorable cir
cUmstances.
In France, the weather has rot been
favorable. Even the minister OF aEr.cui-
ture report OF the wheat only argued YIELD
OF s.. 600 90 quarters. leaving e.oG.0o quar-
tiers TO be imported

duced fine propeccs-
Russian reports are mostly encouraging.
