Crop Near Normal.

I'VE estimate the total prospective
European yield of wheat and rye outside
Russia, as OF May /, after deducting
seed, at 1850, 900. 900 bushels. This In
dicates a crop OF about II per cent OF
pre-war normal The pre-war consump-
ton, outside of seed. was about $780,
G00, 900 bushels, indicating a net import
OF about 100000 900 bushels. n con-
sumption were normal next year. The
somewhat diminished population and the
diminished buying power initiate against
full normal consumption, but the least
possible consumption with the mainte-
nance OF public health we estimate at
1850 000,0 900 bushels, or an import on q
minimum basis or about 100000
bushels. .
The consumption will necessarily be
to a great degree a factor Of the financial
recuperation and ability to pay for i'm
ports, and Is also influenced by the ten
dency to eat more bread and less of the
more expensive meat and fats. Restric-
ton OF consumption will require continu-
alton of the rigid control OF distribution.
People everywhere are sick OF rationa
and every State will make a supreme
effort TO get from under this blight
Some countries, therefore, will get away
from the minimum, so that an import
demand OF $50, 10000 bushels is posi-
