the best conditions now the crop will bc
only fair in quantity, while in quality
il will certainly lie far below the aver
age.
It is estimated that the continuanC"
of rains and the untoward weather of
the last week has cost British farmers
close to SlOO.0mVO0 in the destruction
of crops. and another fortnight of the
same kind Of weather will mean a total
loss Of n quarter of a billion dollars.
The English wheat market is now
depending on Americas prospects. The
crop reports from the United States
are watched anxiously, as II is certain
that large imports from America this
year will be needed. The total sales Of
wheat in the London market last week
was only 1850 quarters. at an aver
age price Of - shillngs and sixpence.
as compared with 105GOO quarters at
an average price of 81 shillings and
cightpcnce during the same week last
year. The prospects Of good crops in
America. with a large surplus for ex-
port. nave held the price down so far
and America is looked to 10 save the
situation in England.
Among the minor effects Of the CON
tnued bad weather are that the great

There have been heavier falls in

suffered very severely Locus i'h' i'"'

The Pacific Mail company, in antici-
patton of the finishing OF the Panama

Company were in Washington watching

ference As soon as II was over he had
