question Of large political as well as economic
interest 4 foreign ruler, confronted with pos
slble deficiency OF food supplies for his coun-
try from It's own Industries. thinks twice before
engaging I'm difficulty with a nation which usi-
ally holds almost the only large surplus OF food
to meet deficiencies elsewhere. 1t Is much too
early as yet to judge what quantities other
countries will require from the United States
before the end Of the crop year though recent
advices are somewhat more promising AS 10
the outlook in several OF the large wheat pro-
ducing countries. The accounts from RUSSIA
arc even more contradictory than usual, appar-
emily indicating a wide range OF difference IN
climatic conditions and In prospects, some 81
the most important districts reporting grain
parched by drouih and the condition Of winter
wheat hopecssly bad, and others complaining or
too much rain. while in the Odessa ana Nik"laeV
regions the crops are said 10 be luXnrl1nt, nav
ing been favored thus far by seasonable tenn
pcratlre and suitable rain II can only be con-
Guided as yet that this great source OF supply
may produce a full average crop though pres
ent indications do not warrant expectation or
a larger while the time Is not yet near when
the greater part OF the yield can be regarded
safe from injury.
Germany has had a rather dry season with
more than the usual varieties Of temperature
but except in some quarters the appearance OF
the grain Is fairly promising. Accounts from
France are much more encouraging of late rs
fears due TO excess Of rain have been In n meas
ure removed, 50 that the outlook Is now pro
nounced satisfactory. But II Is TO be rcmen'
bered that In late years most countries of Eu-
rope have been obliged TO face some deficiency
so that even when their crops are good they
have 10 draw upon the United States for con
cent years France has taken only little. but IN
seven previous years the quantity sent thithcr
ranged from about 4,OOO.OOO To over 42OOoOOO
bushels German imports from this country
have been below 100000 bushels in only one
wear of the last seven. and have once been
! 100000 bushels prior 10 last year. flour not
included Belgium and The Netherlands take
/ larger quantities almost every year. while Brit
! ish requirements In seven years have only once
fallen to 43GO0O00 bushels. but have three
times risen above G0,00o,o00 bushels, exclusive
Of -four. Of which the shipments to that coun-
try have not been SO small as 100000 barrels
In any year since 1891.
Thus It has happened that in good years
abroad this country Is still required 10 make
up deficiency, which has been as low as l00.-
100000 bushels in only two years of the last
twenty. In one year It was 04,000.OOO and In

others over 10000 900, and in three more over

merely good in the ordinary sense. but excep'
tlonally and almost universally good. to reduce
the quantities required from The United States
to low figures. and partial ill-success IN elmer
one Of many sources Of supply invariably ADDS
to the quantity drawn from this country. IL
NAV be noticed too that exports Of brcadstufis
TO Europe have increased materially III later
years. The many millions who became prac'
tlcally acquainted with American cornmeal as
n regular article Of food during the last year,
and found it both cheaper and more satisfactory
than many other substitutes for wheat, are not
likely to buy no corn this year In place or
10000 900 bushels last year.
While the demand for breadstuffs outwcighs
all others for the food products. it is something
worth while TO remember that the shipments
of provisions. though at times somewhat ar
fcctcd by foreign legislation or administrative
action supposed to BE- in the interest or the
producers of other countries. have neverthe'
less been remarkably steady. The value rose
10 Sl360O0.0O0 In 1890. was a little larger IN
each Of the three following years. and reached
Sl4J.000,0OO in 1854, was reduced to SI'',VV''-
Gao in 1879. about Sl3l,Oo0,000 in 1896 ana
Sl37 .ooOO0o in 1897. but during the year just
closed the value has apparently exceeded Sloo''
100000. These supplies 90 to all parts or Eu-
rope and many other countries. ana are so
widely distributed and so greatly required 10
meet curren, necessities that as yet no I'M
friendly legislation or action has materially
changed the steady and large demand Ihcrc
Is every reason TO expect that after year oil
exceptionally short crops. such as the last, the
European countries will quite generally be
found less well supplied with meat for food so
that the quantity required for European con-
sumption from This country Is somewhat likely
TO increase. But TO the values of provisions
strictly. as above given. may be added the
values of animals exported, never smaller than
about So 100000 In any Of the last nine years.
