CROPS IN EUROPE

Washington, Aug. 14.-With mid

a report showing the condition OF

conditions are the least promising in

report says:

the condition of the wheat is placed
at four per cent above the average.
In Spain yield is expected sufficient
to supply the domestic needs. In
Italy the wheat yield seems satisfac-
tory but the quality is poor. An
official estimate places the probable
harvest at ten per cent or about
fifteen million bushels above last year.
The latest official crop report of
France is unfavorable as regards con-

area
Throughout eastern and southern
Europe good crop conditions have
been maintained, in Roumania. in
spite of a smaller area of wheat, a
crop much smaller than last year is
expected. In Bulgaria and Servia the
promise is favorable. while in Rus

latter country the acreage of winter
wheat is undoubtedly less than last
year but spring wheat is the crop
much more largely grown
THE stores left over from last year
have run low and the lateness Of this
