AUSTRALIAN WHEAT CROP. -Good rains have fallen in this colony, and itis estimated it has improved the value of the wheat crop of Vic- toria 11,000,000. Pone PACKING.-Thepork packingindustry in Ontario continues to ttract ttention Not only are the big establishments doing business in Ingersoll and elsewhere in a pros. perous condition, but another establishment is contemplated. Mr. Whitworth, a member of one of the largest firms dealing in pork and bacon in Liverpoo', England, is at present in Western Ontario louking for a site on which to establish a pork packing establishment, the construction of which is expected to cost 850,000. UP Go Houses.-- The war has practically doubled the price of horses such as the United States Government uses for artillery and cavalry. Prior to the war the Washington Government was not a large factor in the horse market, buying only to replace losses, and then through contractors. Now, in order to get the large number of animals needed, the Government has to send its agents into the open market. Two months ago the War Department was paying from 460 to $75 for cavalry horses. Last week at East Buffalo agents paid as high as 8135, and they bought few, if any, less than X120, WORLD'S WHEAT CROP.- The "Mark Lane Express," in its weekly review of the crop situation, says: -"The warm weather comes in time to help the wheat, which has reached the critical stage, but the most that can be hoped is an increased acreage to balance the decrease in the yield. Rust has invaded the wheat fields of 1 rance, and heavy rains have laid the corn in entire- departments, but it is still hoped there will be an average crop. There are good reports from Russia, both of the Azima and Chirka sowings THIS YEAR'S WHEAT CROP -It is estimated that at least 1,500,000 acres of wheat are grow- ing in Manitoba and the Northwest Terri- tories this year the acreage devoted to wheat in Ontario will 'be larger than usual, the New Brunswick Government is offering bonuses to farmers for growing wheat and in Nova Sco- tia farmers who have not had wheat on their lands for many years have planted it this year. Canadian farmers are not alone in the determination to put as much wheat as pos- sible on the market thisytar. American far- mers are making equally great efforts to in- crease tieir crops of this cereal. It is esti- mated that the wheat acreage in the United States will 1,e abcut 3,500,000 acres greater this year than last, and as the crops p omise„ to be particularly good, it is thought that the total will be over 100,000,000 bushels more than 1887. Argentina, Russia and other wheat growing countries have no doubt been stim- ulated also by tbe prevailing high prices to increase their acreage of wheat. Altogether the outlook is not very promising for high prices.
