Scott, writing to the Mark Lane Espres, says; * The present sppearance ot the growing wheat may be belied by the re- sult, but tho lateness and paucity of the plants o the ground ary by 0o means fudicativo of o good crop. Nor Is the nsual breadth gowwn, mn account of tho ungental weather In the autums, Low prices, too—nhout 40s per quarler In au- tumn, and now only 83s 4d—wliit likely be found to have leasened the farmers’ desire to sow the usual breadth of wheat, nnd cause n vory ltme ited nrea to be planggy, probably not more than 8,000,000 ncres, ns agatoeb 8,750,000 ncres in 1878 + « » Danticipate, therefore, that we shall havo a reduced supply of both home-grown and forcign wheat and enbanced prices during the current year.” The quantity of graln exported from Nicolafeft in 1878 was more than double that of any pre- ceding year, which was chicfly owing to tho blockade of the Black Bea ports during the ‘Turko-Russian war, and to the nbundant crops m tho region round Nieolaleff in 1877, About 570,000 quarters is the estimate of the quantity prevlously destined for Nicolafeff, which, owing to the blocknde, was atterwards dispatched to other ports for an outlet for cxoort.
