THE CROP SITUATION.
United States Alone Can Supply Deficit in Res,
Of World.

London. Aug. 9.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press summing up the crop situation
says:
The best authorities estimate the
wheat crop of the United Kingdom at
56,OO00C0 bushels; that of France. at
800. 200. 900 bushels. and the crops of
Belgium and Holland at 4O. 900. 600 BUSH
els. a total OF 500. 100000 bushels for the
great wheat importing area Of north
western Europe. which needs G64, 900. 900
bushels
America at home wants not exceed
ing 40O.000.OOO bushels. has 675. 900. 900
bushels and is therefore able to deal
with the deficit single handed. The
Russian. Roumanian, Australian and
Argentine SURPRISES are left to meet
the wants of Italy and the newest buy
ers. like Cape Colony. Greece, Switzer-
land. Scandinavia. China and probably
Austro Hungary. Spain and Portugal
Egypt and India will be self-sup-
porting during the next IL months: but
Egype has dropped from the list of ex-
porting countries and India does not
seem able to continue her exports The
government has assumed that there
will be an exportable surplus Of 5000 900
quarters: but an Indian crop authority
denies that the famine Is over, or that
the 1901 crop is abundant.

eCUADOREAN TROOPS
About to Invade Colombia and Battle Expected
Near Paste.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Capt. Perry of
the battleship Iowa. now at San Fran
cisco, has telegraphed to the navy de-
partment a communication of his in
structions to proceed to the west coast
Of Panama in connection with the revo-
lutionary troubles but reports that the
boilers and some other parts of the
vessel need immediate attention. 1t is
hoped by the department. however.
that she will be able to sail some time
tomorrow.
There was dearth of other news
bearing on the Colombian Venezuelan
trouble.
The most interesting developments
the news contained in press dispatch
from Quito that Ecuadorean troops
were ready to invade Colombia and
and that battle was imminent near
Paste. Mr.. Silva. the Colombian min
lister, while without advices from his
government expressed the belief that
this new expedition was a part of the
revolutionary movement and that it
was in no sense organized by the
Ecuadorean government.
Minister Silva is of the opinion that
the new movement is in connection
with the internal revolution in Colom-
bia Many Colombian revolutionists
have acquired arms and other equip
ments from people in Ecuador and
started expeditions, three of these hav-
ing been organized last year. mostly
COMPOSED of Colombians aided by the
sympathizers and resources of some of
the Ecuadorians. All these expeditions
have failed.
