And it shoukl nut be íbrgotten that the forelgn market must luinisli the key to the problem. There are causes existing at lioiue that wou ld tend to low prlces. For, although the yield is beluw the average, there is yet au almndance, and the depresslon In business and the general tendency t a shrinkage in v;ihas, would be sensibly lelt iu the grairj iHuikft. Two tacis clearly appéar in regard to the European erop : First, a defieieucy in quantity; second, u deticiency iu quality. ïhe last tact elieits the statement froni the Mark Laue Express, that " the best quality has inostly maintained its previous valué, while inferior has tended downward." It aliso saya that " while tlie general average of prices is within a sixpence of last year, the ainounts then sold were doublé those now. Flour DiUS riTUïcHXl HíiJiu ín i ut, nuil uuu uiu wuiai baa risen a shilling per quarter." Most oí the leading continental markets however are reported rather weaker. The same authorüy continúes: " But at Odessa hulders maintain prices greatly to the detriment of the wholesale trade, in eonfidence that they will eventually bc paid for their patience aa the season ad vances and the general deñciency is knowu. Still looking at the general yield as oTily ui average one in quantlty, and as from thia b large deductioo must be made for its general tightnees lo the actual amount of floui produced. we niay posslbly couni on a further deficlency of 750,000 quarteis at a time when our population Is vüstly on the increase. Wo have no doubt that the importa will meet our necessities, but we expect as tin.' ,-season terminales it will be a close run."
