THE WHEAT CROP.
Bnmn Intrrriitlng stittUtlc nn to th
World's Wlirnt Crop Figure l'rom a
Kiinnn City I'rtpor.
Kansas City, Ma, Oct 15. Tho
latest estimates ot the world's crop of
wherft, mostof them being ofllclul, show
that the aggregate is not materially dif
ferent from tho preliminary figures glvca
In the Star three months ago. Thero U
actually a shortagu of some millions of
bushels in the supplies of the world nc
cording to tho most reliable figures of
supply und demand und tho present un
paralleled depression In tho wheat
trade of the world Is to tho statisticians
utterly Inexplicable.
To tho practical business men In tho
grain trade, however, it Is simply a
question of pressing present supplies
nnd of an entire absence of any disposi
tion anywhere In tho world to buy
whent In large quantities for specula
tive purposes. If the figures of crops
and of requirements are correct tho
present depression Is certain to glvo
way before tho end of tho cereal year
to buoyancy nnd to ndvunclug prices.
Three countries in Ettropc-Itnly,
Spain und Englnnd have poorer crop
this year than lust In the rest tho
crops are much better thnn last your,
though many of them aru not above tho
nvcrage.
France loads, with tho greatest Im
provement The French crop, nccord
lug to the lntest government estimate,
is JJOO.fiOO.OOO bushels of very heavy
wheat, ugainst '.'H.aoo.OOO bushels last
year. France will require 40,003,000
bushels of foreign wheat Tho rye crop
Is otllclally computed at 07,075,50!) bush
els, as compared with 5!),"!),51!J bushels
in 1MU.
In Germany the wheat crop Is esti
mated ut 100,000,000 bushels, against
85,000,000 in 1MU. The empire will re
quire supplies from abroad of about
iJO.OOO.tiOO bushels. Tho German ryo
crop Is satisfactory and seems to havo
reached 215,003,000 bushels.
Tho preliminary estimates of tho
crop of Attstro-IIungary place the total
yield this year at 17(1,000,000 bushels,
ugainst IUS.000,000 bushels produced
last year, permitting tin exportation of
ubout S,000,000 bushels.
The llaikan peninsula, including
Ronmaniti, Hulgarla, Turkey In Europe,
llosnln, Servhi and Greece, has pro
duced about 1:10,000,000 bushels, ugainst
117,000,000 bushels lust year. From
those countries importing countries ex
pect to obtain about .'15,000,000 bushels.
Ituly's returns published by tho min
ister of agriculture estimate tho wheat
crop at about 110,850,000, against 12,
000,000 in lb'Jl. Tho deficit to be cov
ered by Importation will to about iJ'V
000,000.
Russia, according to tho latest ofliclal
statistics, has a wheat crop which may
bo estimated at 215,000,000 busluls,
against 187,000,000 in 1801. Tho quan
tity available for export'itton will b'a
not more than 00,000,000 bushels. Tho
Russian rye crop appears, nccordinir to
figures given by the Economist Fran
caisc, to have yielded 500,000,000 bush
els. Last year's ryo crop was 520,030,000
bushels. The rye crop of Russia thii
year Is 84,000,000 bushels below tho uv-
e 111 go for eight years past, und us tho
tiverugo annual exports of rye for eight
years were less than 50,000,000 bushels,
it is apparent that Russia has this year
hardly enough rye to supply her normal
home demand.
Tho English wheat crop this year is
not: only one of tho smallest ever pro
duced, but tho quality Is uniformly bad.
Tho London Times' estimate of the
crop is no,:ij5,000 bushels, against 71,
742,000 bushels lust year, a shortage of
