GRAIN PROSPECT IN
EUROPE DOUBTFUL
Eastern Section Will Require
Supplies From Western
World.
RUSSIA NEEDS HER CROPS
Balkan States Probably Tn
able to Share F0odstuffs
With Outsiders.

A survey of the production of crops in
countries for the prs-war period shows
that Germany was . large importer of
foodstuffs. quite a good importer OF
wheat and small importer of rye.
Austria Hungary was a small exporter
of all grains, while the Balkan States
were fairly liberal exporters OF wheat
and corn, and Russia was large ex-
porter of wheat, oats and barley, and
small exporter of rye, Notwithstanding
the enormous crop. The pre-war crop
O, Russia was slightly in excess of an
average of 700. 900. 900 bushels of wheat,
and the average exports about 10000
900 bushels. Thero were some years In
which Russia exported over 200, 100000
bushels of wheat. but these were not
many. with tho enormous crop OF rye,
nearly 1000. 000, 900 bushels, there was
very little exported. Russia being an
enormous consumer OF rye.
What the crops are In any OF the
countries Of central, southeastern or
eastern Europe for 1913 there is no
means Of telling In Russia the condi-
ions have been so chaotic that 1t is
doubtful Whistler there Is enough fooo-
stufrs for their own requirements. "A
ysar ago the Russian crop was estimated
n. about ACC, 000, 900 bushels, or over
200 900 900 bushels less In European
Russia than the p<e-waT average. The
conditions since certainly have net MADE
for any larger production.
While It u too late for Russia to
plant a large arceage OF rye or winter
wheat, there will be a chance in the
Ia fYtrTa n
large acreage of spring wheat, or as
large as ~ chaotic conditions Will per-
init. The crop of wheat in Russia Is
two-thirds spring and one-third winter,
and the spring wheat Is raised largely
in the Ukrainian region, north OF the
Black Sea, ard IN southeastern Russia,
while the rye q raised more in central
and NORTH central Russia.

US. STILL REQUIRES
FULL STEEL OUTPUT
Demand Chiefly for Shells,

War requirements for steel continued
heayA. last week. absorbing the entire

both iron and steel in October Is re-
