The statistician of the Uniled States department of agriculture has issued a statement showing the wheat crop of the world for the five years, 1805 to 1809. , Commercial interest in this state- ment naturally centers in the crop of which. a portion still remains in the hands of producers and dealers, the crop of 1809. The aggregate world's production in 1809 amounted to 2,725,- 407,000 bushels, a decrease of 105,638,- 000 bushels, or a little less than 7 per cent froni the crop of 1808; but,- com- pared with, the average of the four preceding years, 1895 to -1898—a com- parison which is obviously more sat's- factOry—the 1809 production shows an Increase of nearly 6 1-3- per cent, or, expressed in quantity, of 161,833,000 bushels. The hit -mdse. from year to year in the amount consumed, it fact that is universally eoneeded, has doubt- less so enlarged the absorptive ca- pacity of the markets that last year's crop may prove no more than sufficient for consumption „ and necessary re - The variation in the quantity of wheat produced on each continent in 1899 trom the quantity produced on the same- continents in 1898 was as fol- lows: Bushels.
