Foreign Crops.
Peoria Journal


Germany-Under more settled
weather harvest work has made very
considerable progress, and the crop is
satisfactory on the whole.
England-From most parts of Eng
land reports state that the wheat crops
are being gathered in fine condition.
1t is considered the best crop for years
past.
Russia-As usual. il is impossible
to arrive at even the approximate
truth regarding the harvest in this
vast country. Generally speaking,
the yield in several governments other
Bessarabia and some other southern
districts is fairly satisfactory, but low
prices offer no inducement to forward
grain to the seaboard. Shippers con-
tinue to act with extreme caution and
will not buy from the producer until
western markets have settled down to
autumn business.
France-The Echo Agricol states
that several estimates of the crop have
already been given, varying from no.
600, 900 TO 1SU. zoo. 600 hectols-3S,-
600, 900 to II. 200, 600 quarters-but
does not believe any accurate compu-
tation can as yet be arrived at, as the
farmers themselves are often uncer-
tain of the yield of the crop before
threshing. In any case the crop, al
though not so large rs last years, will
nevertheless exceed the average.
