There was an average yield of winter wheat, . but the-spring. Wheat crop was one-quarter to one-^ third short. - This was caused by the drouth, which prevented the ; full development of the kernel, nnd. caused it to ripen prematurely. As a .resalt the crop was ne-ver gather ed mj^better condition ; it js'per fectly dry, and will keep ia all weathers. , The >hortness,of the crop did not influence prices until war rnmbrs from Europe opened a pros pect of inereased demand. Dealers had been j content to curry light stocks; and exporters filled their foreign orders at tbeir leisure. When an increased fcireign demand steiped prolblerfeiFger stocks were laid in, and: haste-was made in fill ing orders. This tended to stiffen prices,, -and maintain the advance which had lieen caused-by the first warlike-dispatches. It was esteem- 'ed by an exporter-who had H' brarneh ho^se in Liverpool that, there were .not less thaii 2,000,000 q-jaiiera of wheat (IG.000,000 busliefs) now afloat, on- the way from American to- European ports ; a large part of wbiehj, was from California and Oregon. "Many gentlemen with whom the reporter talked were of the opinion that, though the advance Was the direct result of war rumors.it was not of a.speculative nature, biit that the rumors nad simply hastened si natural process ; that thes jirice of wheat was: not alioye-its intrinsic value, nor greater than it would have been in a few months without the , aid of war rumors.
