The British and European crop re-
ports • indicate a scarcity of wheat,
which will guarantee a good price for
the enormous yield expected in the
United State e and Canada, It is to be
hoped,that the story fi om Europe will
not induce our farmers to hold back
their wheat from market, in order to
do a little speculating on their own ac-
count. As water carriage is such an
important elernent-in the transportat-
ion problem, the stream of wheat can-
not be started from the point of pro-
duction to the point of consumption
tweedy, nor kept going too contin us
calmly. Then these reports of Enr
opeati shortagee are apt to be over-
drawn by manipulators of the market.
