crops of the Preview, publishedfinder

migration and Agriculture, contains
numerous statements of general inter-

The area of land broken this season
was $$135,649 acres, exceeding that of
1887 by 48,205 acres which was the
largest broken in any season since the
organization of the province. All the
counties show largely increases areas

area broken, 12,740 acre, area In the
eastern group, the county of Morris >aot
being included; 42,8411 in the south-
westertz; 55,920 in the ventral, and 24,
134 in the northwes,erza, The reports
of correspondents of the I:►ep:artment
justify the belief that there will l'e a
yield of wheat of 14.8 bushels to the
acre all over the province. The report
vary from three bushels iu some tp. to
thirty -fire and forty in others, Taken
by groups the eastern shows an aver -

the northwestern, 173. In the count-
ries of Souris River, Rock Lake Turtle

ben doze to the crop by gejihers. Of
oats the yield for the provinve is sow
to be, 21,5 bushes per :acre, the aver-
atne in the separate groups bei,,;; 22.5
bushels in the eastern,; 1.9.6' in the
southwestern; 21.4 in the central :and
22.2 in the northwestern. ',l"he yield
per acre is shown to be just one-half
that of 1887. In the case of the crap ;
of barley it it stated that having been
sown even later than oats it suffered
from the drought is as corresponding
degree and a great many failures re-+;
suited. There are many points, how-
ever, from which very incoura in.g re-
ports have bceu received, but aitogi th
er the results will be comparatively
light. The eastern ;coupe promises a'
yield of 19.3 bushels per acre ;the south
western 14.5; the central and the north-
western each 1k.7, the yield for the
province being 18.5 as compared with
:13.9 in 1887. Returns of the condition
of the pea. crop have been received
from, only one half of the countries in
which it is sown. So far as indicated a
yield 12,5 bushels par acre is looked for
A small flax crop is expected. The no*
tatoe crop is regarded as fair.
The -total number of farmers in the
province is reported to be larger. The
total number given is 1:3,320, and the!
average amount put under crop by

caused by a partial failure of the earl-
ier crops of the present year. Prices
in India are higher than they were a
year ago, and this rise, together with
the lowness of food stocks, will operate
against extensive exports. The ship-
ments of wheat in 1888.89 amounted
to 881,000 tons, or 4,011,057 qrs., and
it is expected by the department that
they will not exceed that quantity in

THE IN,DIANNT TV LLAT CROP.
The final official report of the -,wheat
crop of India has been published. It is
represented that the season was en the
whole unfavourable for cultivation, as
the rainfall, was untimely and uneven
ly distributed. In someprovinces it
ceased too early and in others too late
to admit of the land being properly
prepared and sown. The estimated
total yield is 6,.510,979 tons, which is
equivalent to 29,643,482 quarters of 492
lbs, the weight at which 'Indian wheat
is sold in England. This quantity com
pares with a four years' average pro-
duction of 7,205,500 tons, or 32,805,528
quarters; and with last year's crop of

British Grain Trade.
The Mark Lane Express, in its week-
ly review of the British grain trade,
says:—The sunshine has returned and
benefited the northern and western
sections somewhat. Elsewhere the
benefit has been trivial The wheat
crop of Great Britain is reckoned at 30
bushels per acre. The yield in Ireland
is estimated at 2,000,000 bushels, mak-
ing a total of 75,487,670 bushels. Sam-
ples of goodwheat are rare. The values
of old are steady. The sales of English
wheat during the past week were 26,842
quarters at 31s 2d, against 19,763
quarters at 36s 4d during the corre-
sponding week last year. The trade
in Foreign wheat is quiet and prices
have declined 6d. The certainty that
a failure of the Russian and Indian
crops will be supplied possibly by large
shipments from America makes business
quiet. The strike causes stagnation
in foreign grain markets; oats, 2d
dearer; grinding barley is 3d cheaper:
Rye has declined. Corn is 3d to 6d
lower" Beans , and peas are dearer.
The inquiry is slack. At to -day's mar-
ket there was a thin. attendance, New
English wheat sold at 32s to 35s.
Splendid samples of new Duluth` were
quoted at 37s to 38s. Corn was 8d
lower except for guaranteed delivery,
when 25s was paid. Oats were 6d=
higher for future and 5d for delivery:
